    All of the money spent is for an experience.

    It's as close to sky diving as it is to gambling.

    That said. It's a lazy, ****** way to make money from video games.
    Well said. And you didn't even mention how you spend real money to buy premium credits, which you use to buy cache keys, and lo and behold the exchange rate along the way usually ends up with you having a few extra premium credits, incentivizing you to want to buy more premium credits so the ones you already bought don't go to waste. Don't think that wasn't included on purpose by monetizing Matt.

    The saddest thing is that UBI obviously consider it easier money than actually putting together a DLC with real missions in it. But then, this is the company that lost 97% of the player base of it's biggest selling game. Imagine the money they could have made from "real" DLC if they had the foresight to build upon it's strengths instead of pandering to just 2 or 3 elite youtubers.

    Seeing how you aren't defensive about your gambling habit or that you don't see it as gambling here is the very definition of gambling and then compare it to the fact that you are paying for a chance to get a virtual vanity item. Also I highlighted the items you may want to read. Then you can go back to your denial.

    1.play games of chance for money; bet:
    "she was fond of gambling on cards and horses"

    •bet (a sum of money) on a game of chance:
    "he was gambling every penny he had on the spin of a wheel"


    2.take risky action in the hope of a desired result:
    "the British could only gamble that something would turn up"

    Hi All.

    I'm not sure if this will help with caches in getting gear items.

    There's a Cache wallet in the game where league event stars go and if you have enough stars you can buy caches.

    But for some reason i'm unable to find the wallet in the game, and upon looking this up all i came up with was the wallet it under the Cache tab in the menu, but i have nothing there maybe some of you will have it.
