I like how when valve does it, it's 'gambling,' but every other company out there it's just 'microtransactions' and 'monetization.'

Valve somehow gets 99% of the hate online for lootboxes, despite having one of the most transparent and fair implementations of them.

Like, have you people never seen a gacha? Half of them don't even fucking publish the rates for what you can get, and make far more money than Valve does.
