Lootbox gambling is a cancer…extra cancer points for aiming it at kids…and wow, that revenue split is insane, no wonder Roblox is such a rich, publicly traded company. Sigh.

Just what’s in it by default:

I love Fish

What the heck. Half a billion in microtransactions for a game that (according to this article) sounds like a real turd of a user experience. I loved GTA 3 and Vice City back in the day…I got GTA 4 in a Humble Bundle, haven’t spent much time with it yet. Anyone know if it’s a decent experience for a solo, offline, lootbox-free experience?

As an old person who only kinda knew that lootboxes exist, this series was a huge eye opener to the insane amount of money and industry that has emerged around them. 10/10 would recommend to my fellow olds.

Now to head back to Bioshock where the only cost to looting boxes is that I might get attacked by a splicer.

Wow, this looks really cool! I see a reddit icon on there, but not a Lemmy one…is Lemmy support coming?
