Nah. Things like this aren’t meant to have a large appeal. It aims to expoilt the few customer with lack of financial control. ‘Just not buying’ doesn’t really hurt the company since it didn’t really cost anything in the first place. It is (like a scam) designed to filter out financially irresponsibile people and extract as much money as possible from them.
You’d have to convince the diehards, casuals, and especially the ones that are willing (regardless of being able to) to spend money on whatever the company throws their way of this. Way, waaaay easier said than done, unfortunately.
Can’t speak for everyone else, but due to the company’s track record, i didn’t even look at Halo Infinite’s direction since it was announced. Then again, as soon as I heard the multiplayer was Free to Play and seperate from the campaign, yeah…not surprised they pulled something like this.
As strange as the idea of regulations needing to come to the rescue might be to some, that’s a decent way for it to go…seriously, so many problems we deal with on the daily just need a bit of regulations for them to not be as out of control as they are (because, as you said, a LOT of people are stupid/ignorant. Or are taking advantage of said people). Now, this just needs to get as bad as lootboxes–which, IMO, it’s practically there, but maybe it needs to get worse, god forbid–for a legislator to look this way.
