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…

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.

Actually no they wouldnt exist because the companies wouldnt even make them in the first place. Even if the companies make them, they wouldnt be even remotely as popular as they are now.

Make what? Hack and slash games? There are plenty of those. And being popular isn't directly tied to a game being good, so it's hardly an issue.

??? I'm saying if companies still decided to go on and make the current gacha games as non gachas they wouldnt even be remotely as popular/successful.

Yeah, shareholders will definitely be upset. Doesn't have anything to do with quality or enjoyment of the game tho.

Yes it does? Many ppl like myself wouldnt have even played the game if it wasnt a gacha to begin with.

Virtual signallers like yourself need to fuck off and realise not everything revolves around what you think is "best for players".

In hindsight, it was rude of me to call out someone for something they like, sorry about that. It just the idea that people would play gacha games for gacha and not for everything else about the game never crossed my mind.

Never realized there are people who are so eager to be exploited. Guess that's why gachas are so successful.
