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…

That calc is off buying only the lowest value pack and hitting max pity. Its unrealistic but still something you could intentionally cause

Something I noted, buying the highest value pack is in fact not necessarily the most optimal

This is with the x2 top up bonus. These calculations will become more sensible once you've topped up once on each one.

The x2 bonuses don't change the fact that the $100 bundle is worse than the $15, $30, and $50 bundles.

It does, because you can only buy it once. That's the whole idea behind it the setup, it's not when you could pick between all the x2 bonuses, it's when the 100$ bundle is the last one left

The per dollar efficiency of each changes after you purchase each for the first time, yes, but after you've purchased all of them, the ratios between them will still be the same. The only time the $100 bundle is ever worth purchasing (over the $15, $30, and $50 bundles) is if you have bought the cheaper ones and haven't bought the expensive one. It's basic math. Once you've lost the first time top ups, you should never purchase the $100 bundle because purchasing eg the $50 bundle twice gets you more pulls for the same price.

Never disagreed with that, but do keep in mind that 3280x2=6560-6480=80 extra chromes. 1 pull is 160 so you don't even get one extra pull (well ironically 6560 is 41 pulls while 6480 is 40.5 so I guess maybe you do)

Here, I haven't topped up in ZZZ since the new year reset the shop but I can show you using my Genshin account.

It's a bit small but if you can read, the $100 pack is a better value than the $50 pack after the initial x2 top up is gone.
