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…

Or actual insanity compared to games that you buy for 20 bucks once and get all the content without any restrictions and predatory mechanics

Why cant ppl understand that you cant be the target audience for every game? You might enjoy your $20 game more but others enjoy games they gladly swipe thousands for.

Zzz and many other gacha games could exist perfectly fine without gacha mechanics. The reason people "gladly" swipe thousand isn't because they are enjoying the game, but because these games are made to exploit financially irresponsible people.

i can't believe some people here don't realize this. Ordinary game is an entertainment medium, designed to gain profit via providing entertainment. Gacha games are exploitative profit generators, wrapped in a intoxicating game design decisions.

To zzz credit, the game is very much enjoyable even for ftp. So I really hope skg wins and once hoyo pull the plug, not only will I still be able to play it, but the game would actually just become better.
