Seriously, this has been going on since baseball trading cards.

Nintendo is once again selling scannable cards with DLC in it, in randomized packs.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_e-Reader (Never forget!)
When did we decide, as a culture, that selling people packages of completely random product was acceptable? Seriously, I can think of no good reason for this practice to exist, except to artificially drive up the prices of this stuff. Imagine if Amiibo were sold in big question mark blocks, and you'd see basically where I'm coming from here.
How am I supposed to get that all important Kappa card this way?!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
