Episode 59 | Are Loot Boxes Ethical?

Join the Kickstarter for Botch Dice!

Who doesn’t love being rewarded for playing a game?  I mean, when you look at all that hard work and dedication that we put into honing our craft it only seems fair to get a little something something on the back end.  But it doesn’t always go as planned.  Loot boxes have made their way back into the news and players are again talking about the ethics of both loot boxes an microtransactions as they pertain to video games. Are they gambling?  Are they fair? Are they robbing us of the joy of playing these games that we have all come to know and love?  Well, that’s what we want to talk about this week on the Free Play Podcast.
