fill them with coins again along with the occasional big pull that might include a skin. id be happy with the items only being souvenirs or weapon charms even, just something that adds a little excitement. the old sound and animations were too good to just throw away.

They wonât bring them back because they were deemed as gambling and certain countries like China and Japan banned the game over them until Overwatch took them away.

That is false. Netherlands and Belgium are the only countries where lootboxes were banned.
Not to mention nobody is asking for paid lootboxes.
Blizzard saw that Fortnite was making crazy money from BPs and jumped on the bandwagon.

How do you expect them to pay their rents and gain profits if they are not selling lootboxes or similar methods instead of giving it for free.
You mean selling a skin for the price of a full game isnât enough?

I dunno how much does it cost for you to lick their boots?
Who is bootlicking? That is the realistic scenario right there. OW2 as sequel wonât bring much profit from selling a full price game as it becomes a F2p and brings more players into this game and got them addicted and whale for this game. That is how most f2p model and gacha games work. I dont defend their 70$ skins but it is what it is. Somebody has to pay for the compagnies operational costs
Yeah they are totally making a bunch. So much that they basically fired everyone working on the game. Their scam should have easily funded their promised PVE according to you. I donât even want to hear the excuse that they donât make money off the PVE either. If Microsoft canât even help fund that then what is the excuse now?
The problem is theyâve gone WAY beyond âoperational costsâ.
Companies adopt models that not only bring in profit but bring in âgrowthâ. Corporate culture expects not just money but more money exponentially. There has to be more profit this quarter over last or itâs a âfailureâ.
All decisions bow down to this bottom line and not delivering any sort of positive value for the gamers.
The defense or advocacy of these practices isnât necessary.

Used that image and called me a bootlicker when I said I donât defend their practices. Yeah you got my point when all compagnies care is to make more money not because they love the consumers. That just how it is.
Because they are not âjust covering operational costsâ.
You are excusing what theyâre doing as something necessary when it is neither necessary nor actually what theyâre practicing.
Games , for a time, were produced by people who wanted to make good games for people to bring in that profit. You can create a company that makes profit but not sacrifice the essence and purpose of a video game for it.

What? I just said what I thought on the moves they are doing. Only you misread the words then tried to start a fight and yap about things that I already knew.
Then youâre wrong. They are not doing this. They are raking in fistfuls of money and changing the game to optimize exponential cash flow above all else.

I do miss those Loot boxes. It was such a rush to open them! 
But in a business sense, they were not a good idea. They benefit the player more than Blizz and thats mostly why we have Battlepasses now!
Also, the thing about gambling. Especially because you could buy loot boxes back in OW1. Thats really like gambling! My favorite boxes were the ones earned for playing Flex or the other in-demand roles in QP. Good times
