Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

valves (tf2) loot box experiment was the only one such that has been fair to users as well. the true frustration is how blizzard dumbed down tf2 by turning every weapon into its own class. threw everything out the window that made it a great game (such as clever map design with more complex choke point structure), and then marketed it like crazy and took the entire market with an inferior product like overwatch. and of course, as with all things blizzard, with predatory loot boxes.
tf2 is an incredible game by design. it's truly a shame all these clones are basically cheap copies made for quick profit with zero innovation and were all practically abandoned right after launch.
