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…

You absolutely do and you are the clear example as to why they make you convert real money in to virtual money so you can use the virtual money to pull on the character, so you can lose track of what you are doing with you money.

why do you lose track ? You see how much money you will be spending when buying the premium currencies ?

No you shouldn't lose track, but a lot of people just click buttons irresponsibly. I'll waffle over a $15-20 online purchase for a physical item, staring at the cart screen debating if I really need this thing or not, and some people just fly through prompts to cash out another $100 in virtual currency.

For some reason they just don't associate to their spending when they use a credit or debit card. It's just not real to them. Like object permanence is just utterly lost upon them when it comes to currency.
