- vintermann 3y agoYeah, but that's how I always felt about poker too. Poker without real stakes is a boring game even as card games go.
- YurgenJurgensen 3y agoA lot of the time, even if the game /is/ rewarding enough on its own, the game you're really playing is still "lootboxes". Las Vegas casinos have roller coasters, live music, theatre, quality restaurants and various other attractions inside them. Some of them would even be worthwhile attractions on their own, but they're ultimately still adverts for the casinos. Gambling is just so profitable that they can afford to make their advertisements entire other fully-functionig businesses.
- hellojesus 3y agoThe game is definitely fun enough on its own. But it went from "a fun game that gave me coins via lootbox duplicates that I could save up for some great dance emotes" to "a fun game that no longer has free cosmetics or dances, and therefore is now a fun game that is less fun that it used to be." Plus I paid $20 or whatever for OW1. That game no longer exists. I would have happily paid $20 for OW2, even $50-60. But since I don't subscribe to the pay for cosmetics model, now blizz gets $0 from me, and I just accept I won't get cool new dances.
