WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:00.020 --> 00:00:02.020 Kid: Last lootbox! 00:00:05.520 --> 00:00:06.460 Kid: Yes! 00:00:08.680 --> 00:00:12.680 I've been wanting one of the Widowmaker skins. 00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:14.340 *Clap clap clap clap* 00:00:14.920 --> 00:00:16.040 I've been wanting one of these 00:00:16.040 --> 00:00:18.920 That is... that is the best skin. 00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:21.340 Oh loot boxes is back as a 00:00:21.580 --> 00:00:26.300 Controversy you may remember last year with CSGO Lotto 00:00:26.560 --> 00:00:31.900 There was a two youtubers that owned the company of loot crate gambling company 00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:35.180 But loot crate is back again on everyone's radar 00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:37.180 Thanks to EA 00:00:37.180 --> 00:00:40.280 Thank you EA, now loot crate just seems to be 00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:41.840 everywhere these days 00:00:42.120 --> 00:00:43.820 You know I try and buy a sandwich 00:00:43.980 --> 00:00:45.960 Would you like to loot crate the 00:00:45.969 --> 00:00:51.960 Ingredients and see what you could get? You could get the legendary mozzarella or perhaps when I go to the public restroom 00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:54.900 Would you like to loot crate the toilet paper? 00:00:55.020 --> 00:00:59.500 You can get a legendary drop where a man will wipe your anus for you sir 00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:07.240 It's it's impeccable or you could just win toilet paper. We need more loot crates I keep telling everyone. There's not enough loot crates 00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:15.940 CSGO has it, Overwatch has it, even PUBG has it. So there really should be no surprise that the latest Star Wars Battlefront II 00:01:16.060 --> 00:01:21.960 Has loot crate in it. Loot boxes, whatever there called. I am just thrilled 00:01:22.020 --> 00:01:28.860 I can't wait to open all those boxes on camera and have an epic freakout over 00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:30.420 What's inside 00:01:30.420 --> 00:01:32.480 (IT'S FREAKING INAUDIBLE, HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO TRANSLATE THAT KID'S WORDS) 00:01:32.540 --> 00:01:34.540 Ok come on, what is it gonna be? 00:01:34.540 --> 00:01:37.100 What is it gonna be? What is it gonna be? 00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:42.760 [Screaming] YES! YES! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY GAWD! 00:01:43.420 --> 00:01:48.700 Oh my God! A virtual skin for my k-nifffeee! That is 00:01:48.820 --> 00:01:55.820 definitely exciting! Maybe I'm not the right person to criticize loot boxes cause I personally have zero interest in them. 00:01:56.080 --> 00:02:01.360 I find them extremely repetitive; boring. I don't see the appeal in 00:02:01.380 --> 00:02:08.120 Virtual clothing okay? It just seems like something not that appealing, but EA was sitting down at a meeting 00:02:08.260 --> 00:02:10.720 doing their quarterly finances 00:02:11.340 --> 00:02:14.480 And trying to brainstorm ideas on how 00:02:14.600 --> 00:02:20.400 To get more money. How can we squeeze more money out of our customer? How about we make our own 00:02:20.420 --> 00:02:25.260 distribution platform cutting off steam and making the general experience of 00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:27.940 accessing our games a giant chore? 00:02:28.660 --> 00:02:33.940 Genius! That's genius, but not evil enough. How can we make people pay 00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:36.040 £69.99 00:02:36.040 --> 00:02:43.960 Instead of £54.99? Well we'll give them the elite edition those idiots will love it, but not evil enough. 00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:47.840 What about day 1 dlc? NOT EVIL ENOUGHHH! 00:02:48.020 --> 00:02:55.260 Wha-Wha-Wha What about a season pass? NOT EVIL ENOUGH! Ok I got it once they spent £69.99 00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:58.080 They'll spend even more on loot boxes 00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:02.620 Excellent. Now loot boxes is nothing new and uggggggh 00:03:02.620 --> 00:03:07.800 Really all this controversy that started around EA and Star Wars, someone on Reddit 00:03:07.810 --> 00:03:14.110 That was testing out the game figured out that since their rewards are no longer based on your skill in the game, 00:03:14.140 --> 00:03:17.660 Let's say if you perform really well in the game, it's hardly affected 00:03:17.720 --> 00:03:19.370 It's morely based on 00:03:19.370 --> 00:03:25.500 How much time you play the game. So if you want to play as Darth Vader in the new Star Wars game 00:03:25.700 --> 00:03:32.320 You have to unlock him as a hero and to unlock heroes you do so by purchasing loot boxes 00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:36.920 Or you can earn them through, through playing the game seems fair enough 00:03:37.020 --> 00:03:41.700 You know you get two options, but someone did some (sick)math and calculated that it took 00:03:41.720 --> 00:03:45.220 It'll take you 40 hours of gameplay to unlock one hero(seems fair enough) 00:03:45.220 --> 00:03:52.400 And that is cutting out all the loading screens all the time between matches and the fact that you can't buy any other 00:03:52.580 --> 00:03:57.080 Loot crate in the meantime. You really have to focus 40 hours 00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:02.600 specifically for that chance to get that hero drop or you know you could just pay 20 bucks 00:04:03.740 --> 00:04:07.120 I mean it's genius. You know you have people spend this amount of money already 00:04:07.489 --> 00:04:10.599 Why not make them spend more needless to say people weren't too 00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:13.839 Happy about this. The post went viral on Reddit. 00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:20.590 EA then made a response which, you know, was probably the most well crafted well-thought-out response of all time 00:04:20.740 --> 00:04:22.740 Which is why it got 00:04:22.820 --> 00:04:25.520 20,000 minus points 00:04:25.520 --> 00:04:29.180 The most disliked post ever on Reddit. 00:04:29.420 --> 00:04:32.740 Congratulations. Let's see what it says 00:04:32.740 --> 00:04:37.680 (Reads the EA Post) 00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:40.540 By spending 40 hours 00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:47.540 (Reads it again)(Am I blocking the words?) 00:04:47.540 --> 00:04:54.700 When you pay 64 pounds you get a lot of things, not all of things, but a lot of things 00:04:58.540 --> 00:05:04.500 (Reads some crap again)(NoW I aM rEaLlY tRyInG tO cOvEr ThE wOrDs) 00:05:04.880 --> 00:05:07.780 Or you can just pay us 20 dollars 00:05:10.730 --> 00:05:15.999 Here's a, here's where my opinion just goes out the toilet 00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:22.000 I agree that loot boxes are terrible. It's a scummy way of practice, but if you hate them so much 00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:28.959 Just don't buy them. Just don't buy them they exist for a reason they exist because people are dumb enough to buy them 00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:31.840 Now I understand that the concept is that "Whales" 00:05:32.060 --> 00:05:36.220 Pretty much as they're called people just spend an over load amount of money on the game 00:05:36.220 --> 00:05:42.360 And that's how they make most of their profit because they really squeeze out an insane amount out of certain consumers 00:05:42.400 --> 00:05:48.260 It's not like everyone is buying the loot crate's is actually probably a tenth of players that are actually buying them 00:05:48.280 --> 00:05:54.309 But that's enough to justify them existing and it just overall ruin the experience for everyone playing the game 00:05:54.410 --> 00:05:59.679 It's not like EA has the best track record. I don't see how anyone is surprised by this 00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:01.680 Do you do you not remember how many? 00:06:01.780 --> 00:06:09.180 How many DLCs they had for Sims? Sims Living Large, Sims House Party, Sims Hot Date.These were all treated as 00:06:09.180 --> 00:06:16.720 Individual games an expansion packs, and they've been doing this for years, and it's not like the whole practice of gambling isn't or 00:06:17.320 --> 00:06:20.980 Buying something and not getting quite what you want is 00:06:21.460 --> 00:06:25.380 Has never existed before we practically grow up with it as kids 00:06:25.380 --> 00:06:29.300 And maybe it's cuz I'm not the biggest Star Wars fan ever, but basically 00:06:29.660 --> 00:06:33.560 EA is holding, holding the franchise hostage is pretty much 00:06:33.700 --> 00:06:38.800 Oh man, we're reeaally sorry you don't like our loot crate system guys. We just wanted to game to be fair for everyone 00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:39.400 you know 00:06:39.400 --> 00:06:43.540 Maybe help players catch up if they can find by buying a couple of loot crate's hmm 00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:49.149 If you weren't we could give you names of some other companies that are making Star Wars games. Oh wait 00:06:49.149 --> 00:06:53.040 We're the only weapons aren't we? Mmmm, I guess you'll have to buy some loot crate's 00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:56.400 Now despite what your opinion on the topic is, the memes 00:06:56.980 --> 00:07:03.680 The memes are very fresh, okay? They're veeaary nice. EA's new proposed handheld console. 00:07:03.699 --> 00:07:07.119 I really I really appreciate this one: We here at EA. Honestly 00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:14.919 do not remember making Battlefront a pay-to-win game. The story has encouraged us to address other things in about our company we 00:07:15.139 --> 00:07:21.609 Have loved and had romantic encounters with men throughout our life, and we choose now to live as a gay man. 00:07:21.610 --> 00:07:22.310 How brave 00:07:22.310 --> 00:07:23.539 How brave Electronic Arts 00:07:23.539 --> 00:07:29.649 Now a lot of people got fired back around the whole controversy as well because there was this guy named BiggSean 00:07:29.740 --> 00:07:33.760 Claiming to work for EA saying that he got 7 death threats and over 00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:41.080 1,600 individual personal attacks. Now I don't know how you calculate that like you can keep up with all of them 00:07:41.080 --> 00:07:45.190 And I don't mean to sound insensitive or anything, but if I made a big deal out of any time 00:07:45.190 --> 00:07:48.489 I got a death threat on the internet. I wouldn't have time to make videos 00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:51.220 It's not the death threats on the internet 00:07:51.229 --> 00:07:52.180 Don't mean anything 00:07:52.180 --> 00:07:58.959 But that's another topic. Now a lot of game magazines took it upon themselves to use this as an opportunity to point out how 00:07:59.060 --> 00:08:06.849 Awful gamers are for criticizing the poor game devs. When it turns out, there's no confirmation that he actually works for EA 00:08:07.880 --> 00:08:13.599 Most likely he doesn't work for EA, but at the same time who really fucking cares? At the end of the day, 00:08:13.599 --> 00:08:15.599 It's Disney and EA. 00:08:15.650 --> 00:08:16.669 Two 00:08:16.669 --> 00:08:17.900 large companies. 00:08:17.900 --> 00:08:24.460 They're gonna squeeze out as much money as they can. What you can do as a consumer is to not buy into it. 00:08:24.460 --> 00:08:29.140 Don't be that brainless Star Wars fanboy(liek me) that has to buy all of them. 00:08:29.180 --> 00:08:34.760 Just don't buy this one. Stop buying loot crates, refund your games, and stop crying. 00:08:35.690 --> 00:08:38.289 Seriously. I found that there's a petition 00:08:38.810 --> 00:08:40.789 so that the ESRB 00:08:40.789 --> 00:08:46.838 would declare loot boxes as gambling which I hundred percent agree with it(me too), is a form of gambling 00:08:48.940 --> 00:08:54.920 And it should be rated as such. It blows my mind that people are surprised that EA and 00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:59.920 Disney we're somehow trying to squeeze money out of people, like that's never done before. 00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:03.760 Buy indie games you have people working passionately 00:09:03.760 --> 00:09:04.460 on 00:09:04.460 --> 00:09:07.420 their own projects, support them instead.(support A.S.S) 00:09:07.420 --> 00:09:08.870 eughhhhhh 00:09:08.870 --> 00:09:16.239 We have so many options right now as a gamer. This year was incredible. We got so many great releases(liek A.S.S). Support them instead. 00:09:16.310 --> 00:09:18.310 i-it's really not that complicated 00:09:18.800 --> 00:09:23.220 Anyway, thank you for watching this video. Do you agree or disagree? 00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:29.760 Leave a comment down below, leave a like if you enjoyed watching. One like you could unlock my new loot box system 00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:33.060 Where in every video I'm announcing a loot box 00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:36.560 Where you could win another video. 00:09:36.560 --> 00:09:38.560 Eghueghueghueghue 00:09:38.740 --> 00:09:45.080 While finishing up this video, EA Star Wars made another statement, three statements about this thing 00:09:45.100 --> 00:09:48.699 I sure hope they get it right this time. This was never our intention. 00:09:48.800 --> 00:09:54.310 Sorry, we didn't get this right. We hear you loud and clear, so we're turning off all in-game purchases. 00:09:54.889 --> 00:09:58.059 That is fantastic they listened to the community 00:09:58.100 --> 00:10:05.709 And they responded. Wait a minute. The ability to purchase crystals in-game will become available at later date. 00:10:05.709 --> 00:10:10.420 So basically you're just trying to save the launch and you're gonna add micro-transactions anyway 00:10:11.300 --> 00:10:15.900 Congratulations to everyone. Now I know people are gonna be pissed about this, but at the same time 00:10:15.910 --> 00:10:22.240 They have a budget to recoup and they had a financial plan in this game. They're gonna have to do it regardless 00:10:23.089 --> 00:10:28.268 They can't just give out, It's not a charity. I feel like thi.. everyone loses. Congrats.
