Valve loot boxes have always worked that way. They didn’t change them to skirt regulations. I don’t really find it very scummy at all. Nothing in the loot boxes can give you an advantage in the game. Most of the games that include this feature are free to play. This is how they make money from their game. The vast majority of people don’t pay very much at all. You can play the games and have tons of fun and never interact with the loot box system. It’s an optional thing for people who like the game so much that they want to pay. It’s basically donate to valve and have a chance to unlock a cosmetic item in game.
Sorry, I was busy having a life for a couple of days and then I responded to your comment because it was so egregiously silly and illogical. I hope that you didn’t lose too much sleep over it while you waited for me to respond.
I love when someone is just speaking nonsense and doesn’t even try to defend the crap they were saying and just starts replying with off topic complaints.
What planet do you live on? Who do you think burned someone??? Lmao.
You made a whiny edit saying that people would downvote you because your comment “wasn’t popular”. I pointed out, using the exact words that you wrote, which rude and condescending statements that you made would likely cause people to think that your comment is not worth listening to.
You said that I am “wrong” despite having copy and pasted your text.
You feel “burned” when I pointed out that I copy and pasted it???
You probably got downvoted for saying that something which does happen “never” happens, and for calling people “stupid” if they don’t agree with your opinion, and lastly for calling a boycott “some weird campaign to pretend they don’t exist”.
You gave strangers many reasons to dismiss what you’re saying.
Valve’s steam machine looks like a console, but don’t expect it to sell like one.
