Should we also have a ban on all sports memorabilia then? It’s a gamble for me to go to my local team and have the players sign things and then at some point in the future it could be worth a ton of money?
Would this conversation be any different if they sold the cards for what they think the expected value is? Then you’d have people complaining about how they’re charging hundreds for a card and that’s not fair because little Timmy can’t afford it.
Edit: those tumblers that people drink out of have “rarer” colors and designs, better ban those two because of gambling.
So those cards have been around forever, and no one complained about them.
People care about these loot boxes because it’s easy for a young kid to get their parents credit card and rack up a ton of charges because they see a cool skin and don’t realize that ultra rare or 1/1000 chance to drop means that they won’t get t without spending a ton of money.
By definition gambling can be defined as playing games of chance for money. Well they aren’t going to win money, their reward is a collectable item.
Or to take risky action in hope of desired result. I don’t really see how this fits that definition either. There’s no risky action.
I would prefer if there were no loot boxes because I’d rather know what I’m getting, but people are focusing on the wrong thing here.
No one buys baseball cards for the informational side of it. They buy them as a collectors item. The same as these skins. The only difference is that one is digital and one is physical.
Sports cards have been around for ages and no one gave a shit. People care about the loot boxes in games because it’s easy for a kid to get their parents credit card and rack up a ton of charges.
There’s no way this is true. I can literally think of similar code as what’s in GTA V, I have never opened the link. Does that open me up to a law suit? That’s crazy.
Thanks! Been trying to do that as there’s just so much to learn. I’ve stuck to a few build guides (started playing midway through Crucible). I found a build that I like and it’s fun (RF inquis, nice walking simulator 😅) but it struggles doing content that I like (bossing). So I’m trying out a DD Elementalist with the hopes of next league maybe being just a one build guy and respecing once I get some currency.
I have been able to get two voidstones, and the Maven seems doable as my RF but when I read about the fight I must have ignored that last phase and had horrible placement on those pools.
I want to complete all the end game bosses first and then I’ll try to do a deep dive on the passive tree and maybe try my own builds or something.
Trying out a new build in Path of Exile. Recently got into the game and it’s actually pretty good, I wish I started playing years ago though because there’s so much content 😅
I want to switch to something else soon so I don’t burn myself out on the game.
I stopped playing dota after thousands of hours because I got fed up with the community. I only have a certain amount of time I can game now and it’s frustrating to waste that little bit of time with super toxic and raging teammates. Does it happen in every game? No but it happened enough that I don’t want to risk it.
It looks like they finally are working to fix that, however I transitioned over to a new game - Path of Exile. It’s great, the only person I can blame for mistakes now is myself 😀.
