Lootbox Warning

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.
