I love Ashens, but I really hate the concept of the Loot Crate.

I kinda wish he'd stop these loot crate videos. I really like his videos of weird shit, and these loot crates are so tame and full of predictable "Gamer gear" shit that there seems like there's no point in him doing the videos.

It's more of a fan service to those who want to watch them if anything.

Alright, fair play. I guess he still does a second video with the loot crates when he does them so it's not too bad.
Loot crate is for people who don't have any friends to give them gifts
Some of these things kinda neat but the rest of all just advertising/cheap tat. I kinda liked the Link t-shirt but I'd never wear things like that in public.
Temporary tattoos and stickers, who exactly is this geared towards, 5 year olds?

Loot Crate looks like shit retailers couldn't sell or need to get rid of so they shoved some crap in a box and charge people monthly for it.
This is the kind of tat I see for sale in EB Games all the time
I tried it out one month after seeing an advert for it on Rev3, the month it had titanfall/attack on titan shit in it; which had some okay thing in it, like the first volume of the attack on titan manga. I keep forgetting to cancel the shit but its all cheap garbage otherwise. And the shirts have a very low thread count, you can see through the link shirt.
I could never sign up for this as my room would slowly start to fill up with random junk that I will have no idea what to do with.

They took the newsletter out only to replace it with Markiplier tattoos. I'd rather have the newsletter please.
[QUOTE=meppers;44968525]Loot crate is for people who don't have any friends to give them gifts[/QUOTE] This reminds me of the theory that let's players are surrogate friends for sad people. Kinda depressing, really
