Lets talk about: Loot crates and its new label

As most of you may or may not have heard, loot crates and anything which involves the players to open up something with some sort of probability, is now considered as gambling. Games such as Overwatch and CSGO have their loot crates/cases. 

How do I feel about this? Well, I don't feel affected in any way, shape or form. I believe that spending real money on virtual items is useless, because this items do nothing but add aesthetics into the game. Like CSGO weapon and glove skins. It doesn't give you any combat superiority or gain, like what Revolver "Shalashaska" Ocelot from Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain once said, "Engravings, give you no tactical advantage", and I couldn't agree more. Weapon skins, character skins or anything that can have a skin, are just meant for bragging rights:

"Oh look, I have a rare skin!"

"Oh look, I have an epic skin!"

"Oh look, I have a legendary skin!"

"You won't believe what I spent with my $300 Chirstmas/birthday money! A knife which gives me no value or benefit whatsoever!" :D

Things like these makes my blood boil! Where some games just lives off of micro-transactions, which is sort of like ripping off or stealing from your consumers. A prime example of this, are mobile games, Clash of Clans and Candy Crush to be precise. These games have little-to-no gameplay, they're free, but what better way to make our game fun and put some cash in our pockets? Just trick them to buy golden lollypop bars so that it can give them unlimited lives, tries, moves and whatnot. (And yes, I'm aware that I'm going off topic but I just had to get it out of my system)

Some people might say that I'm "salty" for not having a $300 - $1000 knife or skin in my Steam inventory and that I have to "git gud" but its annoying. You're burning your wallet for things that give you no advantage, no gain, no superiority, whatsoever in battle or in-game. Its like how Xbox Live insults work. Its annoying, and its just there. You can't avoid them. (You know what I'm talking about). But I have come to accept the fact that they're burning their own money on these things, and I won't fall victim to this "skin insanity". 

Hopefully with this new label, things will change.
