Question from MAINEac17:Q1) Why or why not should Pub G be eligible for Game of the Year?Q2) Should the Loot boxes originally implemented (by giving an advantage,pay to win) in Battlefront 2 be considered gambling?https://www.polygon.com/2017/11/22/16690182/battlefront-2-loot-crates-hawaii-belgium-banned-regulation-investigate

Comments1) Really enjoying the show!2) Should have a quiz or Game for the show.

Concerns 1) The FreeToe having an odor?!2) My indecision on buying Battlefront 2

Question from Mark:Does Pub G sound like a bar you would go to? Would this bar be located in England?Which is worse paid dlc/season passes or loot boxes? The last battlefront had paid dlc bringing the overall price to over $100 the same with the COD and various other games with no outrage. which kind of burned me because they ended up being games that didn't really hold my attention by the time all the dlc came out so i guess that's on me. The second battlefront tried loot boxes and the outrage or bandwagon outrage has been covered pretty extensively already. So can game devs really ever win, ultimately it's a business, they're supposed to make as much money as possible right? Or do the self entitled gamers win?
