Dude what are you talking about? People are constantly ranting about loot boxes and taking shots at valve.
It’s fine for you to like your hobby, but don’t go off the rails and try to justify it. I’m not criticizing the pay to win nature, but you can’t do whataboutism in your defense of it.
I’m really not arguing with you though, you are completely allowed to like your hobby, there’s nothing wrong with it even if that means spending money. It’s just not for me for that reason, that’s all.
I don’t know if you read me correctly. I’m saying people see the obvious problems with loot boxes, but have no problem with the same mechanic in the physical form of a card deck.
Your argumentation comes from the perspective of whataboutism.
Ironically, you strengthen my underlying point and you weaken yours. I am making the point that your game is pay to win which is why I do not want to play it.
You are arguing a different point, which is that you feel it’s justified for you to play the game and spend money on it, because other people spend money on other pay to win games.
This is fine for you to enjoy your game but it’s specious reasoning. You do not need another random person to justify your spending on your game, it’s just not for me, enjoy your hobby my friend.
Hm. I don’t play either type of games, so not really clear where you’re getting my advocacy from. Maybe you’re confusing me with the other person in this conversation I butted myself into with my random observation?

The disconnect seems kinda weird.
I’m just asking for consistency.
This is where you are very confused.

Elucidate me then. What are the significant differences between video game loot boxes and a sealed pack of Pokemon?
I’m not going to have a conversation with the music box in your head.
