The shutting down of Pokémon Unite may lead some to suppose that the sport is underperforming. Whereas we don’t have any proof by some means that that is so, it’s value noting that Belgium not too long ago made the sale of loot containers unlawful within the nation, ostensibly reducing off Unite’s Prize Machine mechanic. The Prize Machine doles out beauty DLC at random with purchases made utilizing in-game foreign money, which in flip is purchased with real-world cash. The Netherlands, in the meantime, are significantly contemplating a ban of loot containers, as effectively, so the timing of those shutdowns is, at least, reasonably coincidental. We’ll proceed to replace if we study extra.
