What a geniune apology that was. You can really see that it comes from his heart and he realized he made a mistake. #matgang4life
Over 100 years…
after world war II…
this is 2018…
Did he mean after world war I, or am I missing something?
I think the loot box system stems from our hunter/gather instincts. We search places for rewards, whether its visual or physical.
HAHAHA MATPAT THROWIN' SOME SERIOUS SHADE
I agree with what you're saying about what is "technically gambling", but still I refuse to accept it.
So I could open a big store that has slot machines and all kinds of gambling, but mine technically isn't a casino because it has a twist. Every time you pull the slot machine, even if you lose completely, the slot machine always spits out 1 penny(or some arbitrary worthless prize like a sticker). So technically you always get something in return, even if it's not something you wanted. So is that not gambling then?
This is why it's a slippery slope both ways. With loot boxes I just get that urge "well if it looks like gambling, feels like gambling, then it must be gambling", even if deep down I know it technically isn't.
The problem currently is with the law that defines what is or is not gambling and it needs to be redefined. Yes loot boxes are gambling, yes they are dangerous, no a bag of skittles is not gambling, no it is not dangerous.
pls dont do an intro like that again
The original loot box was countries. America had the greatest loot in the 1890s
I thought I had avoided all micro-transactions until you brought trading cards into the mix. I've spent an unhealthy amount of cash on a particular Yu-Gi-Oh! Booster Pack because I'm trying to get a card that's advertised on the back of the pack, and yet I've been struggling to find an actual copy of the card anywhere else.
Those who do not ready history are doomed to spelling errors or clever hidden joke?
Remember when the at the start of the last episode, he kinda said, "the next video will be out Saturday, and we are normally late." And then it came out on Sunday.

I actually watched Jim Sterling's video before and was pleased to hear the referral to that video soon after.
Just telling u I think I think I figured out how Chica fits in with SL. Take a look at Yendo's mouth and Chica's mouth. They're both the same
"Nearly 30 years after the gold foil…"
Way to go! Now I feel old…
nice intro. spicy meme
As always, thought provoking videos! That final point made me realize these aren't gambling, though it is massive manipulation and shady at best.
do a knack game theory
WOW REALLY YOU MADE A JOKE OF MY FAVORITE SHOW(BIG BROTHER)(I SPELLED THAT WRONG)
I remember the days when I could just go to the in-game store and buy the thing I wanted directly, completely circumventing the loot-box ordeal…
10/10 beginning.
