If you’re watching videos on this channel, then you’re aware of LOOT BOXES, those wonderful new micro-transactions that have begun to define the AAA gaming experience. Unsurprisingly, people have some strong opinions about Loot Boxes, so I’m actually not going to weigh in on one side or the other. Instead, let’s talk about how loot boxes actually work. Get ready for some psychology, Loyal Theorists, cuz in this episode, I’ll present the scientific facts that explain how loot boxes psychologically affect and train our brains!

Casually watching this at 11pm because I slept since I got home from school yea I regret it
Overwatch references… My favourate 😀
I'm a gamer, not a gambler. I love video games, but I hate loot boxes and especially microtransactions. Whoever came up with that idea deserves to be shot!
Got the notification on my phone as soon as I left school
W8. I got 5 Free loot Boxes and on the last one i got the skin i wanted
yeah. I have to wait till saturday for part 2 }:(
I never had the biggest issue with most lootcrates that where like Overwatch. Nothing in overwatch affects the game in the slightest gameplay wise, a person with 0 sombra items can play just as effectively as a player with all the sombra items. Because none of these items effect the character's play style.
I always did have some issue with micro transactions in F2P games or MMORPGS if they made it very clear that you can't either, get through the game, or obtain the items people can buy otherwise. Games i like to spend money on never make it necessarily hard to get the Real-money Currency or atleast the benefits of it. There was one MMORPG i played i didn't spend real money on it for over a year, i only started because it would help me get some items that would really help me as i had chosen to invest in a playstyle that was a bit harder to work on.
Extra Credits did a Video on this stuff and it's really good and it's also a few years old by now if not close to 5-7 years old. Predatory practices should be punished. Battlefront 2 is Predatory in nature because the loot boxes impact the game. These types of things that make it near impossible for people to enjoy the game without putting extra money in, specially in a triple A full priced (if not higher priced) game definitely. What overwatch does shouldn't be punished, Heck they do their best to make it more then easy for people to get lootboxes and even added new mechanics to help people get the things they don't already have.
Yeah your never going to get a sponsor anymore
I got a _ was _ all along!
Here I thought it was going to be a theory on monthly subscription boxes like Lootcrate. But this actually makes more sense in terms of the channel.
Hey matt what about free lootboxes which can only be unlocked trough paying a "key", you aren't directly purchasing the lootbox or paying for whats inside. You are investing in a key for that particular box. I believe that that is another huge way they trick you into spending your money more easily. But hey thats just my comment, an addon to your theory-comment!
As a long time Las Vegas resident, I felt triumphant at the mention of casinos taking peoples' money.
Like I want to talk about all the crazy clever methods they employ to take your money, but also that money pays for my town, so…
10:05 What happened to the other 9 percent?
My theory crate came in the mail! Got a box of eyeholes, sweet! Sure hope the eyehole man doe-
I think they just hack my wallet
I still want more overwatch skins
In my opinion, lootboxes are not technically gambling, but they are about as close to being gambling as a system can get. I don't want to invite governments into regulating video games any more than they already can… that being said, lootbox systems are one of the worst influences on the video gaming industry in a long time, and that's saying quite a lot.
So matpat where can I pre-order my 1st gt create
loot boxes are a great system if the reward is purely customization, but if they have things that can help you in game (star wars) its not ok
:v
never buy loot crates problem solved
I love how the intros have been lately
destiny lore theory pleaseeeee
To anyone who plays FGO or FEH, you definitely know the pain of RNG from there.
What about csgo crates my guy
I don't like these theory crates but I feel I have to support anything that accepts doge coin. Much theory. Very random.
Funny, Only crates I have ever opened, are those I have won through gaming itself, not paying extra 😛
The face when matpat uses the best loot box system(Overwatch) over and over again instead of an actually bad system
A 2 parter Gasp We.. We haven’t had those since the days of…..
FNAF!
WHY MATTPAT WHY
when you are out of ideas*coughs*
What do you have to say Matthew Patrick
How do you get a THEORY CRATES MATPAT? And I can not read
