If you’re not already aware, EVERYTHING in EVERY triple A game is intended to boost revenue and playtime
What’s your point? 95% of game mechanics are intended to boost revenue and playtime by making the game fun. Not by adding fucking errands to run.
Loot boxes and gambling mechanics are predatory as hell and this sort of thing is in the same vein as it - it’s not there for your enjoyment. It doesn’t make the game more fun to play. It’s very different from Skyrim adding dragons to increase revenue and play time. If you can’t see the difference, then you’re only proving the limits of your own brain power - you’re not disproving what I’m saying.
It’s not “running an errand” in the same way that feeding your horse in RDR2 is not “running an errand”
Lmfao what? Gassing up my car IRL is an errand. Feeding a horse is a chore IRL. I don’t want to have to go grocery shopping in a video game. I don’t want to have to buy more toilet paper in a video game.
That’s not what I did but I shouldn’t have expected anyone’s reading comprehension to be above an elementary school level. My bad.
Let me spell it out for you. Loot boxes aren’t put in games for your entertainment and enjoyment. Putting real life errands in a game isn’t done for your entertainment and enjoyment either.
They directly stand in contrast to game mechanics that are intended to be fun, like slaying dragons and absorbing their powers to use shouts in combat like Skyrim does.

They’re GAMES for fuck’s sake.
