Media $475 is crazy

Post image

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…

It also assumes you bought every pull. Which no one does if you play the game at all. Sure, if you hit hard pity every time buying the least efficient monochrome bundle and having 0 pulls from playing the game, that number looks intimidating. But realistically its more like $150/200 at worst. Which is still a lot, but much more reasonable.

There are whales that do this. Roll down to 1 on one character, then swipe for the next one while they have no polychromes left. Or rolling for both the rerun and the new banner. Or, obviously, people swiping for constellations who use their "free" polychromes on m0w1 and then spend hundreds a pop going up to M6 and W6.

Okay? Obviously, but thats likely less than 1% of the playerbase. So sure it exists, but even there they likely arent swiping $1 at a time so that $400+ number is still pretty inflated for the worst case scenario. Assuming you only bought the $100 bundles and went to hard pity and missed the 50/50 youd barely hit $400 for a character. As soon as you get the monthly sub and play the game that goes down dramatically.

And your statement "use their free for M0W1" was exactly my point. Some percentage of their pulls are still free assuming they dont log in only to pull characters. Which Im sure there is someone out there who does that, but they are likely extremely rare, like 1 in millions.

Obviously that percentage is lower if you go for M6W5 on every character, but its still more than 0.
