Indeed, but you still have to walk with them, and can only have a certain number of eggs at a time anyway: an aggressively low 9. The gambling section of the brain can't really get tickled, unless someone enjoys marathons.
Eggs tick a lot of boxes for being lootboxes, but they miss the (in my opinion) largest factor to match: you can't buy them. If you can't buy the lootbox, you can't just tickle that gambling center of the brain to the business's benefit. Now, you can buy incubators, which are needed to hatch multiple eggs, but the 'best' eggs still need the most distance walked to hatch. I won't call their monetization completely scum-free, nor will I defend actual loot boxes, or especially Kotaku, but I think they fall short of being loot boxes.
My biggest problem with the idea of him being controlled opposition is that they didn't need controlled opposition. They were going to have Hillary. They were convinced they had won... until the votes came in. Similarly, if he were controlled opposition, they wouldn't have had to blatantly cheat to get Biden in.

Unfortunately, while very scummy framing, it's not something that would get anywhere in court. He is known for that incident, and they didn't call him any -ist. It doesn't matter that he's known for it because the media lied their asses off about it, he's known because of it.
I wanted to know, but now that I just see the link, I am filled with doubt.
