[quote=@Mara] I've never played any of their f2p titles so I'm not really commenting on that, but yeah god forbid a company try to [i]monetise something that already costs money[/i]. Games shouldn't reward people for dumping money in them, they should reward the people that actually play the game. They should reward the people that actually would've gone for the 40-hour fucking grind that most BF2 heroes required pre-patch. Day One DLC was bad enough, but it's a fucking walk in the park compared to this new trend. [/quote] It's a good thing that the supposed most egregious offender, that being BF2, [i]didn't[/i] do that. Lootboxes were the thing that people last year shouted the loudest about without actually understanding. It didn't matter that they got their information from second hand sources, if it meant being able to call people whales then they were gonna take it. The fact that BF2 got all the heat while NBA 2K18 was barely a blip while being a game that was literally incentivising microtransactions in the single player section of the game is strange but then one of those has Star Wars in the title. Microtransactions aren't the worst thing but boy is it a hot topic issue for some reason.
