What an absolute travesty. Epic is running a casino, encouraging players to gamble, but not for something of value, but an infinitely repeatable digital good. To be able to "pay off", if you could even go as far to call it that, in digital goods at effectively no cost to them then we're just encouraging further bad behavior.
- skeeter2020 6y agoAt least in a casino they comp you physical goods and services that have a real value. Who knew the mob and wall street were the good guys?
- mfost 6y agoDon't let the drama fool you though. Epic only had those RNG loot boxes in the "Save the World" Fortnite game which is entirely different from the actual popular phenomena that is the battleroyal one. That and on Rocket League which they bought in that state while they were only implementing the standard TF2/Valve model of lootboxes. And when bought they made them switch to a non lootbox model. As such, that class action lawsuit is rather clickbait by itself. It rode on the popularity of "Fortnite BR" to make it look like Epic was selling tons of lootboxes to kids when the reality is they had so few players of Save The World it probably had a rather insignificant impact on kids getting exposed to gambling.
