I don't think you realistically can trust these as there will never be serious audits, and they exploit all kinds of psychological weaknesses. They really just need to be illegal. Sell content piecemeal, sure. But not loot boxes.

I agree completely. I would've spent ridiculous amounts of money on that game at this point if it weren't for loot boxes, but alas it wasn't meant to be.
