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 ...

This is absolutely ridiculous! You do not need to spend money on lootboxes which means it is not gambling. You can also grind out everything in this game with no real money spent from just playing and getting materials overtime to craft whatever you want... You only spend money if you want to. Having lootboxes gives players a reason to get excited about getting something rare by chance, otherwise you still have the ability to earn that item from just playing the game. People need to stop complaining about everything, its a free game and you still find things to complain about, it blows my mind.
Lootboxes are, in fact, gambling. By the literal definition of the term;
"Wagering money or something of value on an event with an uncertain outcome with the intent of winning money or material goods."
If you can spend money on it (which you can), then it constitutes as gambling. Being free-to-play doesn't absolve the game of having an predatory shop system designed to milk players out of more and more money because PLENTY of free-to-play games have made their bed on standard shops (Like SMITE and League of Legends) that allow you to outright BUY the thing you want, no questions asked. How can you say that just because it's free, nobody can complain about it?
To many people, it wasn't free. Titanfall 3 could have been developed, but instead we got probably the most bandwagon-hopping video game that's ever been developed, and that's including Lawbreakers.
