As always in capitalism, video games have largely deformed from an art form into just another means to generate profit for large corporations
Lootboxes are legalized gambling for minors. So yeah, no shit it works. Just because a thing is profitable doesn’t make it good. The opioid epidemic proved very profitable, but just like gambling for kids, doesn’t make it a thing we should accept or want for our society.
I did not say or try to imply that it’s good. I said sadly it works. With emphasis on SADLY.
Fair enough, I’m certainly not about to disagree on the profitability of gambling (for the house specifically).
