Choose the lesser evil

I don't play games with either of these, but I'd prefer battle passes over loot boxes if I was playing a game that had it. At least with battle passes it encourages you to actually play the game to get the rewards vs literally gambling
Don't they usually have non paid versions of battle passes as well? Sorta the same thing right? I'm fine with loot boxes earned through gameplay though as you're not paying actual money for them

Yes, and that makes me so sad about it.

Payed battle pass has exclusive items, that a free player will never get, and payed one only if he turns to a prisoner of his own keyboard.

But a F2P player gets (usually) loot boxes proportional to how much he plays anyway, and sometimes, get rewarded with the cool stuff too.

I'm not really a fan of either mechanism tho, I prefer single player games without battle passes or loot boxes :shrugge:

All online multiplayer games feel sameish to me

>here's this skin that everyone wants for character X and you have Y% chance of getting it from lootbox 420, hope you have your mom's credit card

It's all so tiresome

True, battle pass is usually possible to calculate.
