Summer Game Loot Box: Stay Calm and wait for official Blizzard communication

There was a time where companies didn't have to milk their players at every opportunity. Games like warcraft 3 got supported for years without any extra income other than the new sales.

I know these are different times but it's only changing because companies feel like they can expand their ways of income more and more since players seem like they don't mind much.

Looking at right now, yeah few bucks for new skins will support the game so what's the worry right? But 10 years ago, this practice wasn't needed for a successful game, and who knows what we will face in the next 10 years to come. So I think it's important for players to speak out their concerns.

People are mostly annoyed with the approach by the way, if they released the skins directly, not attached to the random loot boxes, complaints would be significantly less. Because as far as we can tell now, you can actually buy 200 boxes and fail to get the one skin you wanted. This is really a shit practice IMO, and that's why I think people should give feedback to Blizz asap, before it's too late to affect anything.
