Research

Resources based on my interests of the loot box:

Topic Description Source
Loot box variations A loot box isn't always in the form a box incubators, paint brushes, skins, iOS app, STEM box, an AE script/plugin
Loot box characteristics The movie trailer moment of a loot box special moves, rush launches, trap cards

Observations

  • time, sound, and motion-based triggers
  • surprise pipeline: a "surprise" but only for those at the receiving end?
  • packaged selections of "randomness" in the form of bundles/kits/subscriptions
