Is it really fair to compare the two, like really, yes, this is greedy, but are we really comparing cosmetics in a free to play game to pay to win mechanics in a game you have to pay for?
Can't be worse than Rift's $100 lootbox, or the $28,000 unlock-all cheat code of Star Citizen.
No, Rito is more Blizzard nowadays. Ruined gameplay balance and getting woken every patch like them. I think p2w aspects will come somewhere around season 10 to milk remaining playees
This is why I can't help but feel like riot is making a AAA MMORPG. Milking the players for things like this makes me think riot is desperate for money when they shouldn't be.
Is this still Riot Games? Or is it just EA? Caught in the pay walls No escape from the prestige skins Open your purse, get the credit card and see Chroma for Aatrox, which you don't even need And it's a hundred bucks, for a skin in gold, too much cash, the reward so low The game's reputation doesn't really matter to them To them Mama, just killed a game Cashed it out until the end While our playerbase just went Mama, they went to play Fortnite And threw our goddamn game away Mama, oof, the game is gonna die The servers won't be up tomorrow The game is done, it is done, and nothing really matters Too late, the game is gone Got hundred millions a month, now it's only... some Okay guys, I couldn't find rhymes anymore. That's the end. Go watch Bohemian Rhapsody by the way, the movie is great.
