I actually like the concept of loot boxes, such as Grimy's Loot Mod for XCOM 2, but that's in a singleplayer game, using in-game currency only, for fun new armor and weapons you don't need to win, and it's an optional mod, it's fun to get the boxes from the battlefield or the black market and open them to see what you get, to get that fake gambling rush lol. But I would never spend real money on one. What is gaming coming to nowadays? How long before this software infects triple A and indie games on Steam

Angry Joe touches on this too in his Shadow of War review

I mean, it's already spread to Twitch. We're not getting rid of lootboxes anytime soon. People spend way too much money on them for anything short of a government ban to stop the advance at this point.

It's like a shit in a box but with shit in a box you at least get a shit. Loot boxes on other hand...

Is there a gun to your head forcing you to buy them? Then don't.
Do games have such practices in them? Don't buy them.

Question is should people be protected from their own idiocy and general weak will. Yeah, you'll skip some games you would've loved to play, but no one said making a stand was easy. You can't both have your cake and eat it, as they say.

Yes they are forcing you too buy them :) If few years back they just tacked these shitty loot boxes on top of the games now they are making whole games centered around them. Dead Space 3 for example was created just to sell loot boxes .Shadow of War end game is also tailored around you buying loot boxes.

It's disasterous.. i mean you pay full price for a game and then you cannot finish it normally?! You need to grind for 20hours more just to be able to see the end. And i am talking about single player game! Is that fair?
Soon, we'll see an achievment probably "Loot box bought" "10 LB bought"... and you won't be able to 100% the game if you don't buy it?!
Shame on you greedy publishers!
