Lootboxes aren't "buying content." Buying a game, is. Buying DLC, is. Gambling on a hat that's already in the game you're playing is plainly something different, and increasingly, that's the only source of revenue.
This is not theoretical. We're already in a stupid sci-fi future where four-billion-dollar games can be """free""" and somehow convince people to spend thousands of dollars apiece on a deluge of random bullshit which is also allegedly free. And it's not even possible to have a sane argument about this shit-show, because people pretend they don't understand the thing all these games do.
I want video games to make money the way they did in 2008.
Do you have an opinion about that?
If it goes 'then games would magically look like 2008 forever,' stop.
If it goes 'but then they'd make 2008 kinds of money,' stop.
This is new. This is bad. This is spreading. We should stop it.
