Lootbox Warning
This game contains gambling (Lootboxes) Why EA why do you not learn? Sadly this great game is now a hard pass for me ...

nope lootboxes do
i can't understand how gamers actually defend lootboxes...
they could easily sell cosmetics directly and i'd buy em
Correction, people like you ruin the game not “gambling”. It 100% doesn’t effect you if you don’t buy them. They allow the game to be free to play and that brings in players. I think of it as a reward for supporting a game I choose to play.
And again. You do not need lootboxes to support a game and make it f2p
selling the vanity directly is working just as fine but without the gambling
there is no reason for lootboxes except greed
Are you actually defending lootboxes and pretend they are a good thing?
wth is wrong with you shilling so hard?
You're blowing this way out of proportion.
- Since the loot boxes does not affect the gameplay (there is shop rotation with skins and battle pass soon) I'm perfectly fine with that. By that if you feel lucky you can try to get a legendary skin before anyone else. And the other thing is that from leveling you get one lootbox just to have something which is nice (because if that I was able to grind some nice skins in Overwatch just by playing and not buying anything).
So if that doesn't make anyone stronger in the match and it's not even the only way to get skins it's fine.
I entirely agree; I think loot boxes which can be purchased with IRL currency have no place in any game, ever. Just because you know the odds of a horse race does not mean betting on it is not classified as gambling. The whole premise of a loot box is they give you a chance at unlocking something that is higher value than what you spent on the loot box itself. That's the very definition of gambling.
The removal of the ability to purchase loot boxes would mean revenue could still be generated from players purchasing cosmetics from the store rotation, as well as the upcoming battlepass. I have no problem with loot boxes earned from gameplay.
>"Correction, people like you ruin the game not “gambling”."
Correction: If he does not play the game, there's no way he can 'ruin the game'. Hyperbole has no place in a rational debate.
In all honesty, OP, don't let the gambling thing get in the way of you enjoying a solid game. We can voice our opinions and vote with our wallets, but boycotting a free game sends no message to the publishers and only you, yourself, miss out.
