#I'd be happy enough if every AAA went out of business

When it comes to gacha there's a couple games that are good except for their gacha

Like if Genshin was a game I could actually buy and play and didn't have shitty dailies and let me buy DLC instead of wanting me to drain the GDP of a small nation... I think it's a pretty good game if you strip all that bullshit away (there's a reason when I found out you can run private servers of it I was interested... when they actually have all the quests and stuff working I'll probably download it and play through the story stuff)

Then there's pretty much exactly one gacha game I kinda respect that my friend plays, and it's actually a kinda sad story to me cause the company used to just make normal ass games, but they made this most recent one gacha just cause... they couldn't afford to keep going with the old model and this lets them keep funding development while releasing the story more episodically

I'd never call any gacha good, but they at least seem less bad and like they try to tune the rates to be fairer... but again, it's mostly sad that it feels less like a company going for a cash grab and more like them needing to be amoral to stay afloat

Anyway fuck the very concept of gacha, the people who let shit like lootboxes make money should be bludgeoned cause... saying that accepting gambling mechanics in games lead us here isn't some slippery slope fallacy... it's just recounting history
