          No way I’m taking your false equivalent shit here, there’s nothing about Valves lootboxes that put it NEAR the industry standard of make shit game look good make money, lootboxes with GAMEPLAY mechanics locked behind, forcing dlc for basic features and micro transactions for consumables and to level up bullshit.

          So suck my d*ck

            Valve literally popularized the “games as a service” business model.

            You’re probably too young to understand when games weren’t just platforms to sell you more shite.

      I think nintendo is so much worse tbh. Mario kart for example they shove the dlc in to kids faces the whole time. Nonono, you can’t play these tracks, but you van look at them. Here are all the characters. No not this one, you need your parents magic numbers.

      Cases are silly and bad, but at least it’s adults who should know better.

        Nintendo has a ton of things we can criticize but at the very least the process with them has usually been simple purchases. You pay for what you want to buy and that’s what you get.
