Microtransactions (Gaming)

At least the game doesn’t have loot boxes.
Sometimes I feel like the industry went to the extreme of loot boxes so they could pull back to horse armor and act like they’re the good guys for doing so.
Before everyone realized how horrible they were, Loot boxes were stupidly profitable.
Now that everyone knows how horrible they are, Loot boxes remain stupidly profitable.
Blame the mobile gaming industry and EA, but also blame the thousands of people who still buy them.
At least in Sea of Thieves, they're embracing the classic "buy a specific item" plan, so I don't really mind that, but they're probably going to continue charging full-price for expansions and such, so that might be annoying.
