    pay-to-win games, who can has advantage, but it destroyes the game and fun. pay some more - win some more. vendor has to lift up game target or similar which is not reachable for regular or not paying gamers. the other point is that some loot boxes are like gambling and that ofc need some special licenses.

    i dont have a problem with a monthly fee to have a game developped, but then i expect to have a fair chance like all gamers there. when i read "pay2win", absolutely no-go, dropped. i have installed a playrix game on my android device for spare time fun, i can buy items to game on, but i also can play anything else in that game, multiple tasks. after certain time i can switch back to the task. thats fair enough.
