I have to admit that if the loot box issue in Genshin is the same as CSGO then this might just be a case of dumbass kids. I've never bought anything in CSGO and I have hundreds of hours in the game. You rarely get a good long close up look at gun skins in game which is all there really is to get from the boxes, so who fucking cares; and if there are attention calling GUI elements for the loot boxes then they aren't very significant because I don't recall them and my eyes apparently just gloss right over. So I really can't understand someone throwing a bunch of money at that without like the involvement of scammer YouTubers spreading lies to make money for their own gambling sites.
