You mean the one and only corporation that truly cares about its users? /s
How anyone doesn't think they're as shitty as any other company of similar size is beyond me.
I don't really like lootboxes as a concept, but cosmetic lootboxes that they actually let you trade between accounts is certainly one of the better monetization schemes out there.
I'm sure there's a better reason to criticize them than teens spending $300 to get a gun with a "leaf pattern" but the reality is they're the best seller in the market and that's why people like them.
Let's not let minor arguments about which is the lesser evil disguise the fact that they are all still evil.
In this case, the lesser evil is worth pointing out, because they aren't as shitty as any other company, they're less so
