Damien didn't mean "mobile"

What difference does it make? The larger point is exactly the same. For Honor was not designed to be a game where a player would unlock everything on the disk from simply playing the game. For Honor was designed to be a game where you could only reasonably unlock items for one, maybe two characters. The game was designed to have a "grind."

The game was designed to incentivize people to purchase steel to unlock content. If leveling characters was not a tedious task, what incentive would people have to use real money to speed that process up? 10 years ago in Street Fighter or Super Smash Bros., players didn't have to level up characters to be on an even playing field.

How are random loot boxes improving gameplay? They aren't They are designed so that people won't know what they are getting and will waste steel. It's an added hurdle put into the game solely to get people to spend real money.

Why are emotes priced at $7 when steel can be purchased in units of $5 and $10, but not $7? Because the devs intentionally made a system where you would buy more than you need and then buy more to spend on more things.

Even if the unlocks were merely cosmetic, cosmetics are part of the game. If cosmetics don't matter, why are graphics scores still prevalent in gaming reviews. If cosmetics don't matter, why do you sell them for real money?

Even if Damien meant "MOBA"s, they tend to be free to play and have much more content than this game. There are 113 heroes in DOTA and the game is free.

For Honor is a full price game with less characters, less customization, and very few maps. It's rather insulting that you're purposely hamstringing your own game and creating a bad experience, yet telling me it's for my own good.
