| Topic | How are lootboxes any different from those overpriced TCG booster packs of yore? |
| papercup 08/20/19 6:04:49 PM #29: | The difference is in, say, a game like Overwatch, if you just play long enough, you have a fairly high chance of actually getting everything without spending extra money, and everything is account bound. In Pokemon TCG, cards actually have real world value, and you can easily make profit on a pack if you know what you're doing. TCGs are an investment. Loot boxes are just gambling. But worse, gambling where you mostly can't get anything of value from it. Imagine if when you put a dollar into a slot machine, and you hit the jackpot. But instead of paying out in dollars, it pays out in Casino Bucks that can only be used at the casino and can't be converted back into dollars, so it really doesn't have any value. That's what a loot box is. Which, btw, that is EXTREMELY illegal. --- Nintendo Network ID: papercups 3DS FC: 4124 5916 9925 ... Copied to Clipboard! |
