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
An element of chance with IRL money on the line = gambling. That’s just what gambling is.
