    The only time I ever tried loot boxes was with TF2 and Dota2 back in the early to mid 2010s.

    I very quickly realized that this wasn’t what I was looking for in gaming. These days I mostly play indie games where monetisation is not issue. Even gave up on Paradox because I am not okay with their DLC approach. I don’t mind paying for DLC, but one has to look at their release of Cities: Skylines 2 to see that they’ve really become the “EA of Europe”.

      Fun trivia time!

      It’s the beloved economist Yannis Varoufakis himself introduced drop trading and marketplace to TF2, which eventually spread everywhere else.
