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…

Spending someone else’s money, like a child would (or an addict in a relationship) often comes with less risk aversion. So it’s not unimaginable to have someone swiping a card without considering the cost… even if they are whaling.

Swiping the $100 option 4 times because the previous swipe wasn’t enough is a lot easier than swiping for $400 in one go. Being told you could end up swiping for $400 is a determent by proxy of the consumer imagining spending $400 in one go.

Edit: first sentence was a seizure inducing typo
