I love the viewpoint of "It's free, what do you expect?"
Okay well let me pay the usual MSRP of a videogame then, the usual $50/$60, and not have to deal with any of this microtransaction/loot box bullshit ever again, y'know, like you did in the old days of videogames where you paid one price and got access to all the content within.
"But then they won't make as much money."
And there you go, you've hit the nail on the head. Publishers don't want to make $50 or $60 from their customers anymore, they want to make $100, $150, or more from their customers, with some of the fringe customers bringing in ten times that.
And that folks, is pretty pretty scummy.
