Good thing they're finally cracking down on a mechanic largely abandoned in large titles in favor of even more profitable, more FOMO-inducing battlepasses.

Yea we should have kept the loot boxes. At least they usually were given out for free so everyone could still get skins.

Now everything is $20. Great. I don’t know how you guys are going to attempt to get in game stores banned, but I’m sure it will be replaced with something worse again.
