'Shady' means it is underhanded or dishonest. How is explaining the loot box system months before the game is even released 'shady'? If they had put this system in, made it integral to progressing in the game, then it would actually be as deceitful as people are making it out to be.people finding it not "shady" is the reason publishers are forcing them on single player games, you know whats not shady? cheats, they used to be pretty common but now they sell them, and for some reason that i do not understand, there are a few people defending this, not to mention that lootboxes are a form of gambling, do you consider gambling good too?
I find gambling amoral. These systems have been in 1P games before and they will be in them in the future. When I thought the slot machine system of FIFA got to be too big of a part of the game and not something I wanted to partake in, I stopped buying the games. An adult should be well equipped to engage in these systems if they want or to not.
I can already tell with 100% certainty I won't engage with these systems in Shadow of War. That's why it doesn't really matter in the long run.
I like AAA games. I like AAA games that feature IP I enjoy. I acknowledge that large, AAA, mainly 1P games are expensive to make. If whales need to exist to subsidize these games for them to exist in the way they currently do, so be it. No skin off my back.i understand very well why they sell it, what i do not understand is why consumers are defending this behavior.
