You've clearly never played Fortnite. Epic doesn't sell loot boxes, they sell skins. You get exactly what you pay for, there is nothing sketchy about it.

- agrippanux 6y agoWhile I agree it’s not sketchy in that you get what you pay for, the true cost of what you are paying is obfuscated casino-style from their player base, which is mostly kids. Case in point, my son will want to spend 2500 vbucks on a skin until I put that into real dollars for him - “are you sure, that’s $25 of your money” (a bit less with package bonuses notwithstanding). Perhaps this is my penance for working on FarmVille and Zynga Poker back in the day.
- cma 6y agoI don't understand how Apple protects by taking a large cut of same?
- beaner 6y agoYou're getting down voted, but you're right. Apple filters heavily, they know everything in the apps they allow or disallow. Anything that is allowed and that they profit from, they are complicit in.

- k12sosse 6y agoWorked at Zynga? Damn dog, you don't deserve any time at the mic regarding MTX.
