    I really cant wait for this generation of kids to grow up and start dealing with bills and shit. The moment they learn the true value of money this whole trend of buying lootboxes and packing players will die on its arse so fast.

    I just hope theres some fly on the wall footage of the boards faces when they realise.

      Yeah no… the fucked thing is they don’t care … everything is fucked… spending a bit of money on cheap plastic brings you a little bit of joy… why worry about money if you don’t even have much? You can’t get ahead so at least you can be happy… thats where we are…

      You think? That generation will have kids who buy the same crap and won’t listen to their parents, just like the kids now don’t listen.

        Im hoping so. We don’t have the receipts to show them. Were just grandpa’s who yearn for the good old days and we just dont get it.

      I know adults who boost their ego with lootboxes. Beating the peasants by spending money that others use for groceries is how they feel superior.
