    Video-game players hate that they have to buy loot boxes just to be competitive. Parents hate discovering, too late, that several hundred dollars in Clash Royale arena packs have been charged to their credit card: http://nyer.cm/52Q1LL8 pic.twitter.com/iyGqzOgT8I

        "Video-game players hate that they have to buy loot boxes just to be competitive" Proceeds to post screen of a lootbox from Overwatch, a game where lootbox items are entirely cosmetic and dont affect your in game performance at all.

        Why use Overwatch? They provide zero gameplay advantage.

        Agreed with everyone here. Using an image of an Overwatch Lootbox shows you to be either misleading, or uninformed. Overwatch Lootboxes give 0 competitive advantage, they are purely cosmetic.

        Mentions clash Royale and everything in the headline. Why not just use a pic of that?

        Why overwatch though? Use imagery that is relatable please. Overwatch lootboxes provide no sort of advantage nor are required to be good at the game.

        Next you’ll have a post about video games turning children violent and use a picture from Star dew valley. Clearly great research going on here.

        I'm guessing the writer didn't get the hanzo skin they wanted.
