That's cool and all, but the main argument against that is that it's only showing how pretty you can be. It doesn't actually affect in game combat or mechanics, like Battlefield was, giving someone an unfair advantage.

Idk about you, but I think of two things with both of these things

1. When you have a bunch of cosmetics it just screams to me "look how much money I'm spending!"

2. I get hot and bothered for the playing field being equal and skill and knowledge dictating how well someone does, not perks or powered up things

So basically EVERYTHING and ANYTHING is okay as long as it doesn't affect game mechanics?

This mentality is why this became a problem in the first place.
I disagree. A predatory tactic to pray on people with addictive personalities or locking things away behind a pay wall AFTER YOU ALREADY PAID no less.
Fuck
that
shit

and Fuck Destiny 2 and their fucking $hader$.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.

Are you saying we should regulate how people spend their money? Fuck off if that's the case why stop at lootboxes, might as well make gambling illegal and shut down casinos.

You missed my point. I don't really care how people spend their money. I do care how I spend my money though and I DO care about companies being greedy. Developing systems that would make any jew cum buckets at a mere sight of it.

If you are okay with nickel-and-diming in games just watch it turn into Dead Space 3.
Are you one of those It's player choice people?
I didn't choose that shit to be in my game(s).
