If you’re watching videos on this channel, then you’re aware of LOOT BOXES, those wonderful new micro-transactions that have begun to define the AAA gaming experience. Unsurprisingly, people have some strong opinions about Loot Boxes, so I’m actually not going to weigh in on one side or the other. Instead, let’s talk about how loot boxes actually work. Get ready for some psychology, Loyal Theorists, cuz in this episode, I’ll present the scientific facts that explain how loot boxes psychologically affect and train our brains!

    Um my theory box came with 2 alternative skins for Austin (he’s NOT my main), a deflated basketball measured at 2 pixels, a game called “Undertail,” and a sonic plush with a weird stain which, when shone upon with a black light, reveals Avagadro’s number having an orgy with Kirchoff’s rules. I’m normally pretty good at these things, but I’ll be damned if I can solve this theory.

    I was so excited when you mentioned going into a casino with a set amount of money because if I go into the slots area of a pub I only ever have put in $10 and then I quit. Also I deal with my preexisting adictive personality by only entering that area once every few monthd. This means in the grand scheme of things I won't lose money that is essential for me to eat or pay rent.

    Considering a lot of teachers are limited to what they can teach and schools(as well as overworked and underpaid), it's very unlikely that we'll see much change in that regard. Especially when the people running the schools also have an agenda to remain in power and fill their pockets. If anything, parents need to start teaching this stuff at home. People need to teach their families, friends and so on. It's gotta be a community-based education, instead of an institution- based one.

You just don't necessarily always get what you want.

Casinos at least have to give you real money in say a slot machine, aka REAL losses, not free digital copies.

    Honestly I don't understand how they make so much money off of the loot boxes. Never once have I even considered paying real life money for loot boxes in any game. They have only ever struck me as an annoying and shallow reward system. For example, within my first 5 hours of CS:GO, I was lucky enough to get one of those $17 crates. I didn't even for a second think of opening it. I just went on the steam market and sold it, essentially paying off my game for me. In PUBG, Rocket League, Shadow of War, Overwatch, Halo 5 and many many more over the past few years you will not find a single purchase of loot boxes or any other of the sort. To me, I buy the game, I play the content, and I push through any stupid reward system they've implemented. Don't get me wrong, I'd much prefer getting rid of loot boxes entirely in favor of a more fair and better reward system, all I'm saying is that I really don't understand how people can spend hundreds of dollars just trying to get in game virtual skins. It almost ruins the whole "being proud" aspect of the reward systems in favor of "I spent the most money so I look the coolest". Anyways, if you actually read this far thanks for reading my nonsensical rambling and I hope that you agree.

    It's not just a "nonsensical rambling" tough. There are a lot of games that make all their profit on what we call "Whales", which are the few players willing to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on the games' store. In short, most companies that rely on loot boxes already expect that 85% of their playerbase don't spend a single penny on loot boxes, 10% could just buy one or two boxes for various reasons, but that remaining 5% of the playerbase, the whales, will give enough money to make their profit.

I've never paid for any microtransactions ever and I actually sorta like loot boxes in games because they actually give you an incentive to continue playing. Battlefield Hardline was one of my favorite games but it was only fun until I unlocked everything and I was like... what goal do I have now? Then I realized that I didn't get the same dopamine rush after each match that I did with games like Halo 5 where you get 3 free daily boxes.

    I always wondered why I got more happy at receiving the packs and opening them than I did when I got something good. Thanks for showing me how im being used and abused in every way in every game I play :')

    Stop playing "triple a" games, all they want out of you is your money, not your enjoyment.

    Dave Sterling Triple A games aren’t the only games with loot crates. Rocket League isn’t triple A.

    6:50 My biggest example was going for that damn sea turtle mount in WoW. I was fishing for a *month straight* and crashed my server's market on those salmon for the rest of the expansion. By the time I got the mount I was so dead inside I just kept fishing.
