  • The only time I ever tried loot boxes was with TF2 and Dota2 back in the early to mid 2010s.

    I very quickly realized that this wasn’t what I was looking for in gaming. These days I mostly play indie games where monetisation is not issue. Even gave up on Paradox because I am not okay with their DLC approach. I don’t mind paying for DLC, but one has to look at their release of Cities: Skylines 2 to see that they’ve really become the “EA of Europe”.

      It’s the beloved economist Yannis Varoufakis himself introduced drop trading and marketplace to TF2, which eventually spread everywhere else.
