I remember when volvo invented lootboxes to make tf2 free to play instead of selling a $60 "AAA" title with a battlepass and lootboxes included.
They should have made the patent free to use as long as the game was free to play, like they did with the seat belt patent
If memory serves, Valve got the idea for the loot boxes from Korean free to play games. As far as I know though, they did invent the battle pass with Dota 2.
