Overwatch also had paid lootboxes and skins. Overwatch was very heavily monetized.

If it was a bad game, there would not be so many people playing it and shelling over money for skins.

Uh, no? It's been proven time and again that people who buy skins don't buy it out of love for the game, but because it's effectively gambling and triggers the same spots in your brain that dopamine does.

 

Wealthsimple recently opened stock lending. I had never heard of it before, but it sounds interesting - you only have potential upside (with the only real downside being your money isn't covered by CIPF if something goes wrong)
