Change my view: loot boxes aren't as bad as people claim they are.
  • I have to say again, just because some people have a problem, doesn't mean we all have to miss out. My uncle is an alcoholic, should I not be able to have some brews and watch the chiefs? Some people eat to much sugar, my kid can't have a popsicle? Some people gamble to much, so it's bad for my kiddo to play that coin dropping game?

    It's our job as parents to educate our kids on this stuff.

  • Oh yeah I'm totally down with them needing to be regulated.

    As for the kids thing, I don't put nicotine in the same camp as gambling. The addiction rate in smoking is way higher then gambling. Most 13 year Olds are able to play cool math games black jack without robbing a liquor store

  • I disagree that most people view it as bad. Arcades and stuff have been around forever, and are still being used by a ton of people. Just because you don't want send your kids to chuck E cheese doesn't mean most people agree with you

  • I'll give you the proximity point, it is easier to access loot boxes when they are in a game.

    But as for the missing out part, yeah that's how it works. Your friend wins something from the claw machine or gets a bunch of tickets, now you want that. That's part of the fun, your parents could just buy the toy but that's lame

    Inb4 "sense of accomplishment" I'm not taking about obviously predatory practices here, more of the basic stuff.

    So from what I understand, people are against loot boxes, because they are like gambling for children. I argue that gambling isint inheritly bad, and therefore loot boxes aren't either. The vast majority of people are able to go to a Casio and have a fun night. The vast majority of children can go to chuck E cheese and not become degenerates. Yes some people go overboard with it, but that's the same with alhocol, weed, food, etc.

    I think a teenager pulling a double shift and spending some money on a virtual slot machine to win a virtual knife skin or some shit is perfectly fine. Yes, some will go overboard, but I think most people are okay.

    Edit: down voting because you disagree with me is going to lead to the same echo chamber we had on reddit. I'm actually trying to have a discussion on this

    Is there a way to permanently remove someones contact picture?
  • Okay, i understand that you are coming from a place of wanting to help, and you didn't need to do that, so i appreciate that aspect of this response.

    But dude you pulled a lot of context out of a very short post. I'm asking how to change a picture and you recommended me seek mental help.

  • Does anyone actually make money from stuff like this?
