As a different take, I think it’s just an un-fun mechanic that infects an increasing number of what I’d otherwise consider “good” games.
Because the (broad-stroke) economics of it mean that only 1/100 people actually need to engage with loot boxes for the company to see a profit, they’re incentivized to shove that shit in all of our faces constantly even if most of us hate it.
So, “we all have to miss out” is a huge mischaracterization of how I’d react to loot boxes being banned.
