in the end, i believe the main source of issue isnt the lootboxes but the companies themselves with their obligation to shareholders to increase profit and lootboxes were the result of that very notion of increasing profit. greed is the largest issue surrounding the gaming industry and its spreading like cancer, the same applies to epic store. it wont solve the main issue in the gaming industry just because it only takes 13% of revenue from developers. several other issues, tight deadlines, crunch time, money spent on false advertisement instead of development there are so many issues within gaming industry that believing that epic store is going to help the industry is just optimistic at best and i dont expect epic store to result in better games just because of a little bit more revenue money
