It is pretty much gambling. I dunno who hold the most fault, the companies that use such shady tricks or legion of decline enablers and idiots who keep buying these.

I dont understand why people even buy these shit. It is basically tap the part of your brain that produce the rush when gambling, and most people arent just smart enough to realize they are being scammed.

The gaming community has gone from laughing at horse armor DLC to spending thousands of dollars to these lootcrate with RNG drop inside it.

This Normalization of such insidious business is shit.

Glad there are developer and market that still care about each other. The AAA gaming industry should burn and crash into the ground.

Sad thing is, it's gambling with no chance for money in return.

At least Draftkings/Fanduel give you a shot at more money.

RNG mobile industry is toxic.

Pretty much. In Team Fortress 2, IIRC literally every item that comes out of those crates is worth less actual money than the keys to open them with the one exception of the super rare Unusual Hats.

So like you lose money on every crate you'll open but there's a chance you might get something worth like 200 bucks.

To elaborate, I don't mind microtransactions if they're the sort where you directly pay for a specific item rather than a chance to get that item

It's not something I've done, but I wouldn't mind paying, say, $2 for a specific rifle rather than pay $2 for the chance to get that rifle
