- Buy the game. - Buy the expansions. - Pay monthly fee. - And still pay for Store items. Not just Blizzard, many major gaming companies are trying to normalize this. They are trying to benefit from the new generations' unawareness of how games and other services worked previously, and how they were sold *(Buy it = "Own" it!),* and making it seem like it was like this all along *(Pay for it = Never own it, just Rent it! / Pay more = Buy in game stuff / Pay even more = get special treatment).* Larian's Swen made it clear with Baldur's Gate III that it wasn't always so, and it shouldn't be so either.. But doubt Swen's voice alone will be enough to educate the masses, especially when it comes to blind consumerism..

@@firestorm5371 i mean, I'd love to play Genshin. And I tried it (I actually first tried star rail). I quickly found that as a f2p I can only hope to get every third or fourth character with those drop rates. And I have to spend hundreds of dollars monthly if I want them all. And the really bad thing is that in Arknights for example a full potency (when you get it several times and merge copies) character is like 15% stronger than base. In Genshin and Star rail a base without weapon/artifact is like 70% weaker than all potency. So even if I spend those hundreds of dollars - what I get is trash compared to if I spend thousands. At which point I'm not interested. It's so discouraging that I'd rather not play at all. It's just P2W in the pure form. And before someone says - I KNOW that all end game content is so easy that you can beat it on a free account. But here's the thing - winning in that game is not about finishing story or beating last boss. Winning in Genshin is about having a full collection. Some f2p games are fair, others just take it too far.

Lootboxes clash with Belgium at least. And the EU is considering banning them overall. And if the EU banns them then you're pretty much safe in the US as well since Blizzard is too lazy to implement a system that only works in 1 region.

@@Surtr174 EU is far behind with that. Belgium lootbox ban is just optics. If the 'lootboxes' arent tradeable, there are no restrictions (example LoL chests). The whole world should just copy the Chinese/Japanese laws (who have been dealing with this for over 10-15 years) and then upgrade on them.
