Spent 500$ and didn't get a single box, how come EME?

There's very little purpose in never spending money. If you make more money you'll most likely end up spending more of it somewhere. 3k could also be very little money depending on context too. 3,000 over 4 years is the same as buying part of a new game each month.
or buy a xbox one x
if you are her mother and if she is under age how she was able to buy emp ?
is mean she stole your credit card or you let her use credit card
[email protected]#K. THAT.
You put money into a slot machine and lost, just like so many others. The only difference is you decided to throw away $500 for pixels while others stopped much sooner. People keep posting these threads proving just how unfairly low the 'success' chance of these boxes are, I don't get why people think that their chances are going to be any better.
So yeah, GG EME, but also GG to you too for buying into it and not knowing when to stop. This is exactly why EA is under so much scrutiny and why a lot of people hope regulations get put on lootboxes sooner than later, because they're gambling, plain and simple.
some of us minors learn these lessons a lot cheaper than some adults lol.
They'll be fine because, if it follows what happened in China, Japan, and South Korea, they'll just have to post the odds, maybe have a failure cap, and have spending caps for minors. None of these things are going to break the system, and haven't broken anything in any of those countries ("gacha games" are still wildly successful there). This is partly why I've been pushing for these changes for so long; they help perception a lot without really hurting profits in the end.
As a case in point...
It's fair to say that lucky people aren't making threads bragging about their good luck. This is the entire problem with not having a failure cap -- even if the odds are 2%, 3% or whatever it is, you'll always have people with horror stories that make everyone else believe the odds are against them. To me, that alone would be a reason to fix this.
It might even get more people to purchase the boxes, because they know they can get the item guaranteed after a certain amount.
Loot boxes as they are right now... not a fan, I've also spent some cash left and right on loot boxes (though not anywhere near $500, at least not in 1 go) and most of the time I was left feeling robbed and disappointed.
I usually now just sell EMP and purchase the item directly, so I'm glad that work-around exists.
Valve has proven that you cannot sue based on this reasoning.
First, this is not gambling. You are spending real money to obtain a virtual item with no real money value attached to it.
When you gamble you either win or lose, with lootboxes and crates you always get something.
You spent 500? 12,000 x 5 = 60,000EMP x 30(emp rate to gold) = 1,8m gold. You thought you could get more than 9 jackpots, so got greedy and got burned.
lol, what the hell are you going to sue them for? your own damn gambling addiction?
There, support his - Chris Lee's work and make EME (and other publishers) show percentage of winning chances on those boxes. That will make things bit more clear on loot boxes and make people think twice before spend money on it.
