    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.

    The disconnect seems kinda weird.

    I’m just asking for consistency.

      This is where you are very confused.

      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.

        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.
