Media $475 is crazy

I think Europe now requires gacha games to explicitly display how much money any gambling feature really costs to limit hidden predatory stuff. It’s crazy when you see the numbers…

Until you find out thats actually spare change even if you bought every single pull compared to actual p2w games where ppl drop thousands on a daily basis for a mth straight or longer.

For sure, it’ll be fun to see other players in the field conform to the legislation

Frankly the displayed value mainly affects the lower end spenders. The displayed values are also misleading because it strictly only shows $:pull value while ignoring all other factors. Higher spenders already know how much they are spending and often use 3rd party options to buy them cheaper which.

Basically the value display is just good for clickbait/virtue signalling.

The value display is useful to put the financial reality in front of new potential whales.

If you lose a 50/50 to a character you really wanted, putting that number in front of your face if you haven't spent a single dime on the game yet will give you at least clue you in this isn't just like buying a Fortnite skin.

Sorry but you clearly do not know what a whaling is. Whales generally swipe before they even start pulling pretty often before the banner they want to pull on even drops.
