Sometimes I get really depressed when I think about problems that could be solved if people would *just* behave slightly differently.
If people would *just* stop buying lootbox slop, it wouldn't be a problem. it's not asking a lot. It's not asking you to change your diet, or ride a bike twenty miles in the snow. Just stop buying that shit. I just want to smack impulse buyers on the nose with a newspaper, or squirt them with a spray bottle. Stop it!
But that's not how people work. We barely function at all.

Nope, if people stopped buying lootboxes, they would just find something else. The problem is not lootboxes, it is the fundamental incentive structures, that incentivize exploiting your customers. If we really want to fix this problem, we need to abolish capitalism.
