Yet, some (most?) of the best games of this generation don't do that. I agree the loot boxes are terrible, and I think that the government should outlaw them, but I find it hard to be outraged at MTX and DLC when I've literally spent less than probably $30 on those things in my lifetime, almost all DLC, Spiderman and Breath of the Wild, and I spent $3 on SimCity Mobile one time. If there were nothing but games that required XP Boost, that'd be one thing, but it isn't. I can't even keep up with the amount of great AAA and indy games and I probably game anywhere from 20-60 hours a week. My backlog of games to play is nearly 80 deep.
