Unfortunately they'll just keep spending 10x the amount of money anyone else does so theres no way to combat this cancer that has destroyed gaming forever.
The normalization of spending real hard earned money on cosmetics instead of expansion packs is still so strange to me. Isn't it embarrassing to be such a slave to surface level desires you buy skins? They don't affect gameplay, said gameplay is just "grind X thing for hours/days/weeks to get stat boosts" anyway so why wouldn't you save your money or spend it on something better for yourself? I don't understand it, the game is taking your time with mindless grinding AND your money both at once. Genuinely low IQ behaviour, these companies are filthy rich because they're milking people with illegal gambling addiction and retention mechanics that have been outlawed in all other media and areas of human interaction.

I'm genuinely curious how this compares to other live service games like Fortnite, Call of Duty or Overwatch where instead of gambling you spend $20 - $60 dollars per skin pack
Investors always go for the "go big or go home" play, unless maybe the slap on the wrists from lootboxes are still present and gacha just operates in some weird legal loophole who knows

Always weird they'll defend it with that, while also bragging about how much money "their" gacha is making compared to others, then laugh when another one goes EoS and takes everything away because it wasn't making enough money. All a while there are the small few who will throw hundreds or even thousands of dollars for a premium currency simply for a chance to even get what they want, while pressured into doing so because there is only a limited window to get it.
It's a special kind of evil no sane man would engage.

>>737060373
Senran Kagura died because the companies in charge were asshurt over the girls having big tits

This is mostly just proof that gacha serves the tastes of young men.
That said, I've spent no money on gacha because most of them have gameplay that bores the fuck out of me.

you do realize that china has achieved this success despite every effort of winnie the pooh to prevent it by censoring the games in question, right? if anything the success of gachashit at capturing western audiences displeased with western wokeshit is an argument against global leftism, not an argument that china is better than the west.

hell winnie the pooh recently shut down a super fanservicey gacha game because chinese feminists complained to the government that it was violating their country's censorship laws.

The essential issue, and difference, between this and other games, is IDOL WORSHIP. you don't even pay for an experience, you're paying for a graven image that tickles your imagination for a few hours at most, before being whisked along to the next manufactured promise of revelry. Imagine if Tifa had been a gacha object. Forgotten in 6 months, no legacy, no culture, just tits on a stick and a "birthday celebration" for a fictional character being pumped out by SquareEnix every year.

Idol worship is a fundamental flaw of the modern human brain, the only remedy is replacement; pushing forward religious symbols (and culture and community around them) that satisfy the primal urge for gawking ('agape', verily.) 'Till then, we'll piss away our efforts for spiritual connection.

If someone is retarded enough to play and even spend money on gachashit then they're retarded and there's no helping them. There's really no difference between them and the fags spending money on Fortnite skins or CSGO skins. Same exact type of subhuman. I'd say them losing money is a good thing but sadly gachashit making money means more devs make more gachashit and the vidya market is filled with slop.

The appealing characters of the east and unappealing characters of the west are both products of a wider mindset. That same mindset also leads the east to overwhelmingly tell stories where functional justice-based masculine morality reigns supreme and their people are the good guys, just like we used to. Anime isn't generally going to shove a narcissistic retarded bitch who insists that there's nothing about Japan that's worth preserving except its tolerance of invaders in your face and try to dictate to you that this is what an actual hero looks like, for example. Hollywood casts titty actresses to play these characters regularly and you can see how much it helps.

Making the characters hot is like treating an infection with anti-inflammatories. Obviously, that's an improvement, but the infection itself still needs to be dealt with.

>>737057583

I don’t see what’s wrong with them. Genshin Impact has so much content at the rate I play it, it will keep me busy for decades. Meanwhile AAA games are $80 now and don’t even have offline modes anymore.
