Polygon published some dogshit article defending Overwatch lootboxes with "otherwise the skins would be $8 each :(" and that's wildly disappointing, haha
you don't have to hate a game because it has lootboxes. you can even play it and enjoy it. but good god don't defend the lootboxes lmao
@ShugoWah I mean shit, aren't the skins on LoL like $20? People still buy those! Hell if I actually enjoyed the game, I'd buy that mecha-Kha'Zix skin
@ShugoWah or
they could
be free
idk
like, what if you unlocked them by playing the fucking game
@ShugoWah pretty fucking bad when you can't even imagine not being charged out the ass for fucking character skins
@ShugoWah imagine if i charged myself $10 to use my sona's alternate colour palette
@ShugoWah I'd far rather pay a little more to pick a specific skin/item than buy something that only gives me a minute chance of what I want (and more likely gives me something I already have 5 of and don't use).
If you're defending lootboxes from any corner of the industry, shut up, you're wrong
