So I was reading news that Diffusion Million Man Arthur is coming to PS Vita for free and you can probably spend $5 for a pack of cards with a guaranteed rare even though rare is the lowest unit of rarity in the game (there's like rare+, realy rare, super rare, ultra rare, and then there's normal which is clearly far rarer than anything else). Of course things like that are nothing new. However I noticed that pretty much all games where you buy the equivalent of a pack of MTG cards rarely discloses your probability of getting some things. I'd think this has to be illegal somewhere, not that I doubt compaines are running a scam behind people's back but if you don't have an entity that can verify the content of the said virtual pack of cards are appropriate it seems like the law must have a problem with that. I assume this is done because they don't want people to find out the odds and give up, but this is stupid, because MTG has well-known odds (1 rare in each pack, 1 mythic rare every 8 packs, all rares are equally rare). That sure doesn't stop people from spending money on good rares since if you need 4 of something and there are 20 rares then you'd have to buy 80 packs to get enough on average if you're attempting to get those solely by buying more packs. Honestly I don't think this helps the company because MTG exists as an example where the odds of getting what you need is well-known and it's probably the most successful concept of the 'gamble pack' out there.
On another note, it seems like all Square Enix is making are these equivalent of scam games where they hope you'd blow a lot of money on packs. I mean I don't mind the concept itself but it's $40 to buy the Artbook for Diffusion Million Man Arthur and I can guaranteed you it takes way more money buying packs to get the cards for the Super Rare+s, and I'm pretty sure nobody is buying those for the game itself because the illustration on those is actually really nice while I think the card game itself makes about as much sense as the card game in FF9.
