Are they comparable to say a trading card game booster pack of getting something substantive, or are you basically getting junk most of the time? The most common rewards are usually junky, sure, although even in TCGs, there are going to be cards at common rarity players will definitely want. When you open a lootbox and get a terrible player (sports games) or a spray/icon (Overwatch-esque games) or non-tradable jank, that just gives feelbads. --- Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends And watch the city spread out just like a jet's flame <cite>Shotgunnova posted [p:908219888] in 2K begs ga...
