Comments Off on Gamers need to lead the charge in the possible post-lootbox era

  Electronic Art’s Star Wars: Battlefront 2 led the charge, walking away with more than just greediest monetisation of the year nomination. It finally pushed the gaming community over the edge with its implementation of loot boxes and pay-to-win mechanics. It was an entertaining saga with EA’s AMA on Reddit breaking records for the most downvoted comment in the platform’s …

Comments Off on Gaming – the hobby of the everyman

Games have gone mainstream, but we as players can still do more to make them inviting. If you see a new player in a competitive online game, cut them a little slack. Offer them five minutes of guidance and perhaps tell them not to worry.
