Inb4 “sense of accomplishment” I’m not taking about obviously predatory practices here, more of the basic stuff.

So from what I understand, people are against loot boxes, because they are like gambling for children. I argue that gambling isint inheritly bad, and therefore loot boxes aren’t either. The vast majority of people are able to go to a Casio and have a fun night. The vast majority of children can go to chuck E cheese and not become degenerates. Yes some people go overboard with it, but that’s the same with alhocol, weed, food, etc.

I think a teenager pulling a double shift and spending some money on a virtual slot machine to win a virtual knife skin or some shit is perfectly fine. Yes, some will go overboard, but I think most people are okay.

Change my view

Edit: down voting because you disagree with me is going to lead to the same echo chamber we had on reddit. I’m actually trying to have a discussion on this

    if you ever see the herd of pokemon go player with more phones than their limbs can access, it’s not healthy “gaming” and is very obvious for any external observer

    As someone who plays more than a handful of pokemon go accounts, I’m genuinely curious why you consider it to be an issue. It’s literally no more difficult than playing it once, you just multiply your shiny odds on raids. Nice for things that are difficult to rng manipulate in the main series.
