Yeah i dont think RIP just yet, but with the current stink surrounding the subject they might have to introduce a new term or control on this issue.

Dragonscale2343d ago

Rip lootboxes along with ea hopefully at some point.

So... nothing's going to come out of this whole issue, it seems. At most, the major winners will be big corporations, they'll develop smarter, sneakier tactics to monetize their games.

Mikelarry2343d ago (Edited 2343d ago )

I won't say that as they have raised concerns on the subject for now it seems the big corporations have found a loophole same as when they did with in game app purchases until that got so much attention it had to be addressed but the fight aint over yet

Lobbyists from EA waved a little money and the Danes sold out.

Lol. The happiest and least corrupt country in the world got sold out. I disagree.

It doesn't have to be considered "gambling" to be considered bad. Frankly, I don't have a problem with gambling, I do have a problem with bad consumer practices.

I would've thought it is clearly gambling, you pay money for the 'chance' to win something. Someone who is young and gullible wants a particular Star card, pays money - doesn't get it and the cycle continues.

Now an MT system where you pay money for a certain item for a certain price isn't gambling. It's just a dodgey way of getting money from your consumers.

TimmyTurnersDad2342d ago

It's the same as baseball cards l. You want your Randy Johnson rookie card, you may not get it but your still getting cards.

xX-oldboy-Xx2342d ago

But Randy Johnson doesn't give you an advantage within a game, only bragging right amongst your mates.

Game companies are not mature enough to handle this concept without turning it into a casino.

The remakes of battlefront should have been more simular to the originals. CoD/battlefield reskinned as Star Wars was not the anwser.

Remembering or celebrating? It's Halloween yo, that's what people are celebrating.

The first game was really fun. I remember being disappointed with this one when it first released.

I went back last month actually, and had more fun than when released-but I still think the first one is superior. Do like the soundtrack!
