When micro-transactions and loot boxes are a good thing, but are they ultimately still a bad thing or not?
Belgium's Gambling Commission ruled in April that Overwatch loot boxes do not comply with regulations.
Take-Two and Ubisoft peel back a little into just how much they plan to use microtransactions in the future, and how many millions they've made off of them, while Overwatch's director says they use loot boxes for good.
The various strategies indie devs employ prove that loot boxes aren’t a necessary evil.
Probably because the typical indie studio has dramatically lower overhead compared AAA studios
Well, it seems rather obvious that its because indie games are from 'independent' developers who don't receive significant financial support from big name publishers. I think everyone can agree that its the big publishers like EA or Activision that push for the micro-tranactions and loot boxes popping up in a lot of big budget games.
There is no defence to this evil. Its nothing but pure ripping off/greed. I will Never support this BS.
There part of Satan's spawn
Only corporate shills defend this.
Not even Phoenix Wright would touch this case.
Stop trying to defend something that is only in the interests of publishers and not the games, gamers or the devs or anyone else.
