| 4 hours ago | comment | added | Owen Reynolds | I feel like gacha with free players is about converting them. Part of that is presenting the game as "totally playable FtP if ...", and never slapping them with an obvious paywall, but instead encouraging them to think that throwing a few bucks at only the best lootboxes doesn't count as spending. | |

| 10 hours ago | comment | added | pinckerman | @Themoonisacheese I can say the same about your answer, you started talking about CS2 which is not a gacha game. So what? It was related because I explained that it's easier to pay to shorten the grind. They want you to do that, but I'm currently playing Genshin Impact without spending a single penny and it's totally doable. | |
| 11 hours ago | comment | added | Themoonisacheese | -1 for "totally playable in a free2play way, if you have patience." not only is this not part of the question, this is also equivalent to saying "you can totally make money at the casino by picking up chips off the ground". sure, technically that's correct but it's clear that gachas are tuned to the fullest possible extent to extract money from the players, especially in ways that are actively detrimental to them. | |
