If this industry has taught us anything is that the consumers can be much more irrational than the studios actually making the games. I mean you literally just stated that you're part of the group of irrational people who wanna spew hot takes instead of being anything resembling reasonable about games that you have no intention of playing in the first place. Thinking there's some grand conspiracy to add loot boxes to Assassin's creed is genuinely asinine when it's literally just a mystery box merchant like other RPGs and we have FOUR different games that weren't affected whatsoever by MTs in terms of game progression. So i have to question how we can't trust Ubisoft to release yet another AC where MTs are literally just time savers when they've had more than enough games where they were consistent in that regard despite the grand conspiracy that overtime, we'd depend on them solely to get any sort of progression. And then we get the same type of person who wonders why devs and journalists consider the community to be so goddamn toxic. Get some perspective dude.
Actually yeah you do have a point. No wait, you don't.
I never said anything about having conspiracy theories...because I don't need to. I've seen enough of this loot box scam in games enough to know that this is a bad idea. There is no conspiracy here. Nothing irrational about it. Though you're right in that I don't care about Assassins Creed, they (and Ubisoft games) are generally trash bag games.
Secondly, companies are not your friend so you have no reason to trust them, especially with how loot boxes are a hot topic are the moment. C'mon dude, we're talking about Ubisoft. Ubisoft. The company which involves having to look at a spreadsheet which outlines which version comes with what, bait and switching games, having an absurd amount of DLC, broken games on launch, an edition that is nearly £1000 and couldn't even make Tetris (a game I did purchase was effected by). Ubisoft.
Thirdly, I am also stating that you as a consumer deserve the best and to get the most out of your money. That as a consumer, you shouldn't have to put up with this. I get this is t the current style of loot boxes and I understand how chests work, but this is off.
"You can get that from playing in the game," he reassured me. "Everything that's in the e-store you can get from playing the game. It's just an accelerated way of playing the game."
That statement has been used by so many people in interviews that I am expecting a form of AC money.
