WHAT'S WORSE THEN HYPING THE RL OPENING OF A GIANT LOOT BOX CONTAINING A YOUTUBER?

Having the box get stuck in customs and having the "loot" just walk on stage after an hour of three other Youtubers hyping the crowd even more

Lets add up train-wreck points here

+Box stuck in customs. Going to bet customs is not a fan of manifests that say "empty box"

+It was cheaper to make said box overseas and ship to US, rather than pay any of the independent production companies in CA to make it.

+Putting on a paid panel despite missing the key feature for said pannel

+You have to pay to watch footage of this via the Blizzcon Virtual Ticket

+Spending a month hyping the equivalent of a stripper jumping out of a cardboard cake

+A furry has the best information about what happened

Total score: 6

Know that I am late to the party but it seems like there was no backlash about all this Blizzard more lootboxes shit. It has become abundantly apparent that loot boxes are now the primary revenue generating mechanism in a game. That methods of getting more lootbox purchases have been patented and that it has been shown to make a game more money then the games original sales. Where are the pitchforks or is it to late?

The gay nigger that commentates smash games was supposed to be on the box?

Everyday blizzard reminds me that they can be even worse than they already are.

Does this have something to do with that women's panel blizzard has going on?

If that's the case then I assume the most disgusting transvestite the world has ever seen will pop out of that box instead of some hot cosplayer or stripper.

See not sure who was suppose come out. According to the article it was supose to be

>It was YouTuber Stylosa dressed up as the spray of punch kid from the first Overwatch short.

>>13770175

No, why would it?

> We had no idea what the panel was. Neither, it seems, did most of the people on the panel. Community manager Josh Engen promised it would be very silly, and probably a big waste of time.

I thought the cringe was hoarded and carefully sheltered until E3 came around.

You haven't seen shit in terms of cringe from the upcoming E3.

Devolver opened the floodgates of garbage pulling that shit this year.

One day, the entire game will come in a lootbox. They cost 20$ each and 9 in 10 contains stickers, posters, soundtracks and other "bonus" shit, making it so you need to spend about 100$ per-game.

And it's a random game out of a big-ass list where 60% is shoverlware. Actual good games are "Legendary Loot!

MARK MY FUCKING WORDS

>Every game is an emergent experience, designed from handcrafted modules

>When you purchase the game, you get ten (10) "content lootboxes" that contain independent little bits and pieces of the game. We're happy to provide a rich user experience and fans can be rest assured that each module is worth the cost and then some

>One player opens his content boxes and gets a Mage Starter Set and a Grass Arena. Wow! Now Tyrone over here opens his and got a Warrior Starter Set and a Caves Adventure. Two completely different experiences for the same price

>But what if I got pieces I didn't like? Don't worry, for the low cost of just $9.95 USD, you can purchase three more randomized content packs. This lets beginners experience more content, experts tailor the gameplay to their skills, and collectors trade extra content to other players.

>And the best part is its all completely optional

Games will be "sandbox experiences" and to get a tailored "guided experience" you will be loot-boxes to "fill out our world"

E3 hasn't really been cringe for a few years. It's just boring now.

>Head to GamesLootboxstop

>buy 10 loot boxes

>8 of them have little papers saying "Thank you for supporting us!"

>another has a cd, it only has one track of the OST and it ends 2 minutes earlier than it should

>the other box contains a paper with an HTTP link

>write it on your browser

>it's a link to the online-store page for that product

>you can only get to this store with that link after paying for it

How will this get promoted?

The same tried and tested way: tell consumers it's an "exclusive" acess to the store. Watch them buy it en-masse.

He probably shouldn't make jokes like that since in a few months sega might legit push this thing.

Here's the thing though: According to the precepts of chaos, it will either happen or it won't.

If it doesn't, the industry will be better off for it. If it does, then it will become another entertaining rollercoaster of horror. Either way, it's fun.
