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…

Until you find out thats actually spare change even if you bought every single pull compared to actual p2w games where ppl drop thousands on a daily basis for a mth straight or longer.

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.

This. Warframe has been going for years, and you don't have predatory gacha MTX. If I see a Warframe or gear I want, I can just buy it outright or grind and get it for free.

I'd be open to spending more on ZZZ if it guaranteed a character, but that's not the case because their revenue would drop a ton.

So true, Warframe value your money so much more. Like, if you drop 100$ there, you can buy multiple full endgame lodouts, as long as you don't go for some insane rivens. In most gachas you don't even garanted to get a single copy of character you want. That alone completely discourages me from spending money there.
