>>109692302>This is crazy, why would anyone have thought this was a good idea.Because people are still going to buy it, they're still going to spend thousands on the lootbox and casino mechanics, and that will still be the major selling point of the game.
The NBA part of it is as much of a selling point as the FIFA part of the soccer game series.
This would seem like a poor idea until you realize that there are people who spent over ten thousand dollars on these fucking games trying to get the player they want.
>>109692386I don't think anyone is arguing that, but turning player acquisition into a literal casino is a bit on the nose, don't you think?
