Those loot box systems are getting out of hand indeed. Some countries even declared it as a gambling, while more considering that as well.
Yes, I believe it all started with the new Star Wars Battlefield 2. Regardless of what game it is however, these development companies are making extraordinary amounts of $$$ from gamers for cosmetic items that have very little if not no affect on your gameplay.
I believe Activision was also caught out with a system that had in place that encouraged players to purchase loot crates by matching players with loot crate items with those that didn't. Destiny 2 is a great example of the system.
Thats why we here at TriForce Tokens believe that the players also need a way of generating a little extra income from the games they love and enjoy. Especially if they are forking out so much money not only on purchasing the game, but then within the game also.

That's why I'm so interested in this project, finally something where you can get some of that money back while gaming, cos lately I have feeling that sole purpose of the games are those loot boxes and various microtransactions. Basically, games a made with sole purpose of sucking out money from players.
I agree that developers have to make money, and deserve it for their product, but games shouldn't be set up around that.
When I'm reading this I seeing one company who recently changed their way to this microtransactions. I am talking about Riot Games LoL(League of Legends). In beginning you couldn't get skin(some cosmetic appearance of character you play) if you didn't pay for it. Now it is able to gain some random skins with ingame currency and RNG dropouts(you get some random skin in chest and you get keys(need to have 3 key fragments to make key) to unlock that chest, you earn it all by playing the game). This seems very similar what you want to do. Gaming and earning tokens. Only i hope that you will do it more fair because RIOT added RNG to the play and most of times you only get ingame currency but not chests/key fragments.
