@notnert427: I think people will stop complaining about corporate greed (don't know why you put greed in quotation marks as if there's some other kind of greed) when CEOs stop getting paid 300 times the median company wage or when despite record profits they lay off over 800 people.
Lootboxes aren't a way to reduce the specter of a "cost gap", they're there to milk money and generate value for shareholders. There are multiple ways to reduce or ease the increasing cost of game making that doesn't involve blind box gambling and if we saw these companies making steps towards those measures instead of doubling down, I think we'd see the "corporate greed" talk die down.
