Glad there's a thread about this. 150 per match = 6.5 matches for 1 box, and there's direct gameplay enhancing stuff in there. Not good.
Well, now people know how others felt that also played for cosmetics and were under the opinion that unlocking cosmetics should be part of the game. When that stuff disappeared behind paywalls and lootboxes they were told "It doesn't affect the gameplay." and they were called whiners.
Now I do hope we can all finally agree that this is gambling and start lobbying to place this stuff under the same regulations as other gambling?
Yeah no.
Just because someone is too much of a man-child to resist cosmetics doesn't make the system bad.
YES IT DOES! Some people like cosmetics and unlocking that through gameplay. Why are they supposed to pay for your gameplay features and new maps while your features can just as well disappear behind a few crates? In a way one can argue that your new maps should be behind paywalls too. And you can cry all you like about :"but it'll split the player base!", but why should the people that like dressing up their characters pay for your new maps? Also DLC and expansion packs are okay. Especially if the game is complete on release and it's just something like the Hotwheels expansion for Forza Horizon 3. Then I don't mind paying a bit extra as well. It's that DLC on Disk stuff and that stuff goes behind microtransactions with fake currency (so they can manipulate prices by making the prices just a bit higher than one of the "currency packs" (499 for your new hat, 100, 200, 400 and 800 for the fake currency amounts). ) and if they really want to fuck you over it gets put in a lootbox too!
They are "manchildren" due to wishing to play and unlock cosmetic items? They bloody paid 60 bucks too! JUST LIKE YOU!
Ah, forget it, while we have people like you we will never be able to do anything about it. They'll just take one step back, and give you your "gameplay buffs" while fucking over the others. Then in a few years they'll try again.
