Thanks to EA, regulators have begun to look at loot boxes

Bottom post of the previous page:

we should just ban anyone from buying games unless i personally veto them and let them be sold

Are you suggesting that its a lack of collective bargaining power and not a rational choice on the part of the consumer to buy a substandard product when the desire to have that substandard product outweight the specific desire for the lacking feature? What is the solution to this quandry that would require government intervention? Your ability to vote with your wallet and abstain from purchasing a thing is not dictated by the purchase patterns of others because literally nobody is requiring you to purchase the thing. This is especially true where there are alternatives to the thing in question. The image Sae posted is evidence not that there is some sort of market-side wrong that needs intervention or correction but rather that the consumer is willing to ascribe a higher value to the name and franchise than to the fleeting demand for addition of a supposedly missing feature.

I'm confused with what you're getting at.

The image pepsi posted was that people are funny.

Funny, dumb, poorly motivated. potato pot-ta-toe

Just buy games you like and don't buy ones you don't

I can name at least 5 Early Access and/or crowdfunded games released in the past year that have been good and enjoyable games without scummy business models that were only realized through consumers supporting them
Consumers still hold power over what does and does not get made and even if the majority vote for darth vader roulette there will always be smaller names that want to and need to make good and fairly marketed games for smaller audiences

I mean, this is pretty much where I come down too. I've managed to go my entire life without playing a Cowadoody because I simply didn't care. It doesn't hurt me any not to play it and it doesn't hurt me any that there are people who choose to play it. I'm very content with the games I do play and hope I can encourage more like them in the future by supporting them.

Those two studios (origin is a 'literally who to me') basically printed money with appraised good quality investments, gold-dust

Its like Warner Bros, at the end of the day; studio executives, deadlines & rushing have collectively managed to fuck up most studios and business practices to the brink of breaking them entirely or affecting the product. New studios, same shitty company.

Origin Systems Inc. made:
-The Ultima series
-The Wing Commander Series
-Crusader No Remorse & No Regret
-System Shock.

Reminder that Bullfrog gave us Dungeon Keeper, but EA gave us a mobile game out of it to sell microtransaction gems.

They're basically a Japanese territory at this point.
