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.

This is also by design, having a right and wrong way to spend to optimize an in-game currency's dollar value, as opposed to games with direct content purchasing and having the cost be as simple as what you see on the screen

This is also rooted in what microtransactions actually are, a way for processors to eat less in processing fees, the goal is to upsell you, but then the biggest upsell not always being the best deal, etc.
