I hadn't visited the subreddit for a while (Destiny)

The only issue I have with Eververse is the presence of loot boxes. I don't mind MTX when they take the form of a clearly-defined "purchase X item for X dollars" price tag, but loot boxes function more like slot machines, and I do not think gambling has any place in the video game industry. Particularly not in a video game that targets teenagers. We do not need to be exposing young people to that.

I know, I know, this is a variation of the dreaded "think of the children" argument, but sometimes that argument has merit, and I think this is one of those times.

It's obviously not just Bungie doing this. It's an industry-wide problem.

Shit, I tried really hard not to go off on a rant about loot boxes... Bah!
