Are you sure it was John Wright Martin scamming and not Richard Garriot?

How about all games have a single huge lootbox you pay for up front that contains all the options, items, skins, unlocks etc? I'd pay for that!!

Imagine if Richard Garriot, Peter Molyneux, and Chris Roberts got together. They could probably pull off the scam of all scams.

Well in all honesty I am not sure there is a bigger one then what Richard just did. Unless you count his last one. He needs no help that way just ….well i won't go there.
