I directly addressed the topic, the lootboxes in BF2, so probably not.

This is quite literally the opinion I'm addressing. People hold on to this while ignoring the 4 years of free content pumped into the game.

While I acknowledge you statements both this and the previous one, it's the attitude and mindset of someone who states what I quoted that bothers me.

This idea of "fuck the players let's fleece them for all their money". For me, 4 years of free content doesn't make me forget about that mindset. Someone legitimately thought and said it, and my trust in them to treat me as more than a walking wallet is lost as a result.

If you don't have that issue then let me tell you that I'm glad for you but I hope you understand that I do.

Edit: sorry, my dog got into bed and the phone got lost in the shuffle and buttons got hit.

There were no microtransactions required on their lootbox system. It was a randomized level up system that could be skipped with money, similar to how people pay to speed level a battle pass.

So yea, this is all inaccurate drama. It was a shitty system that people didn't get, clearly seeing how people still don't get it today.

And it was all removed before the game was 1 week old, which was followed up with 4 years of free content.

Name 1 Ubisoft game ever published that they removed all microtransactions from and pushed 4 years of free content.

Gonna pass on that chief, I think Ubisoft is hot garbage as well.

You're not passing on it. You're just refusing to be honest in saying there are no games like that.

You didn't comment to engage what I said, you just wanted to be a redditor living a reddit moment.

I'm so fucking sick of redditors and their brain dead circle jerks where people stick their head up their asses and regurgitate the same stupid shit that was regurgitated into their mouths.

I engaged with your comment, just not how you want. Get over yourself.

And with that I'm outta here
