10 Most Predatory Loot Box & Microtransaction Systems In Video Games

3. Dungeon Keeper (2014 Remake)

You can't escape an EA loot system for too long, and we're back with a game that yes, released as free-to-play, but didn't stop the publisher putting one of the worst microtransaction systems in gaming history into this "remake".

Available as an app, the once glorious sensation of seeing your demonic abode come together was replaced by a more cartoonish Horned Reaper repeatedly badgering you to spend more cash. It challenged the term "free to play" so much that various European countries' Commissions got involved, with Brussels stating, "misleading consumers is clearly the wrong business model and also goes against the spirit of EU rules on consumer protection".

Attaboy.

By the time the dust had cleared, Dungeon Keeper was dead and buried - though thankfully, the Bullfrog-developed 1997 original remains a stellar experience.
