there is a guaranteed payout (you bought “a pack of cards” and you got “a pack of cards”). The exact same scenario applies to loot boxes
alternative value/functional use (you can play Pokémon with your Pokémon cards as opposed to just reselling them). The exact same scenario applies to loot boxes/skins
no cash payouts. All “cash value” resides in the secondary market. Again, the EXACT SAME SCENARIO APPLIES TO LOOTBOXES.
You’re so amazingly butthurt it’s hilarious. Asking AI to write up your argument shows you’re just a lump of stupid crying because you like predatory practices. I’m still waiting on that mathematical difference between roulette and card pack rarity.
It’s counter-strike (mostly, this dumb bitch is also complaining about TF2 and dota).
The “loot boxes” are free from playing. You spend real money on a key. The items you receive have no cash value beyond the secondary resale market.
How is this any different from trading cards?
Well, in that case, I see no issue with it and agree with you.
Hah, cheers
The Duality of Man, huh? (check the next comment below to see what I mean - or don’t, if you seek to preserve your brain cells lol)
Physical product is the only legal difference. Are you trying to pretend trading cards aren’t intentionally predatory either?
