Predatory as hell. Almost impressive how Valve manages to simultaneously be one of the best and one of the worst companies in gaming.
Best or worst, aim for No. 1!
Let the live service cattle subsidize the best platform for buying non-slop games. Easy math.
It’s completely optional. They are about as predatory as gucci bags or other designer shit some people pay way too much for (IMO). You don’t need any of it to be competitive or to continue enjoying the game.
I just personally don’t have a problem with things that exploit people’s vanity.
Leave it to Valve to find the most predatory monetization possible.
Tf you talking out your ass fr
I think it’s an improvement though. You never part with your money unless you know exactly what you’ll get.
It’s basically individualised offers in the form of boxes.
I think being able to see the item and having the option to purchase is much better than opening a random box that you have no idea what you’ll get.
