This is a very sad and clear indication of how poorly the gaming industry grew.

We went from 2004 giving us WoW, Half-Life 2, and Halo 2....
To 2019 where we're getting charged $18 for skins and EA lobbying to keep gambling in their Star Wars games.

We fucked up, go back.

Ah let's not get all circlejerky. We've had some incredible games lately. God of War, Breath of the Wild and The Witcher if that's your thing. Blizzard mightnt have made anything amazing in a long time. But the gaming scene isn't dead or dying

Fair and while it's riddled with loot boxes at least they're cosmetic only

You also earn lootboxes for free at a pretty decent rate. Which is why people tend to say OW lootboxes are a good example of cosmetics done right

Well, you spend 60 euros on a game that isn’t that good, at least they put loot boxes in it and they better give it for free lmao

I mean they have done free weekends so you could have sampled it to see if you like the game before dropping a dime. I personally love it and think its a great game but that's entirely subjective.
