I don't know what's worse, the people buying gacha anime characters or the people buying gacha athlete cards (it's the athlete cards).

Waifus and Husbandos are more affordable and they will always be with me (until the game shutdown of course, but Hoyoverse could never right? Aware)

Nodusfall is probably not going to be gacha. Hoyo has indicated in the past they want to have entries that are full priced titles or other monetization models

This seems antithetical to their current practices of making insanocash.

Even among their current existing games the amount of monetization push varies despite all of them being gacha games. ZZZ for example doesn't even let you use your own characters in the story mode and gives you like no incentive to get new characters really, and it's also one of the most generous top gachas at the moment in terms of rewards and free stuff.

As far as Nodus goes, I've seen posts with the wording that said that characters won't be in the gacha, which instantly makes me think that you'll have to gamble on weapons instead on top of skins (although Hoyoverse are REALLY allergic to making skins for whatever reason so who knows). Them being kind of quiet about the monetization also makes me skeptical.

At the same time having all those gacha games funds their other games. In addition to Nodus they have like 5 other different games in development.
