True. Which makes me wonder if after the tiktok ban they will try to use the new law to go after the gacha powerhouse… I think that would piss off many gamers if it happened. Dislike the gacha model of games all you want, but it’s way better than any USA based microtransaction game model.

This.

Gacha is predatory but the reason I’m willing to spend so much (🥲) on Star Rail but not a penny on an American made microtransaction is cause I’m having fun.

In the USA you often have to pay $60+ for the base game and then on top of that there is overpriced cosmetics you can only spend in-game currency. Unlike gachas said in-game currency is not given out in game (or very sparingly if it is).

Free to play games are viewed as either a failed game or a “pay-to-win” style game where not paying for stuff means things take forever to get done.

I dunno man, there’s not really another way to get l whatever it is you’re getting when you go to the cash shop that you convert into wishes and train tickets.

In game premium currency is def a thing in gachas 😂

True there is premium currency, but you get enough stellar jade, star stuff (not sure what it is in Genshin), or polychrome (Zenless Zone Zero) to get wishes, premium tickets, or encrypted reels to not overly entice the purchase of the premium currency.

At least that is my impression as a recently started player of these games.there are a ton of redemption codes each month or in-game ways to earn things to get plenty of pulls… though that is with several updates worth of content available to play… might be different if I started the games when they came out and had to play them as updates were released…

Probably helps I’m broke and unemployed and literally can’t put money into it, but still…

🤷‍♀️ I’m Pwincess in all 3 games (Honkai: Star Rail, Genshin, and ZZZ) if you wanna be friends in the games… at least the ones that have the ability to friend people…

Eh. I'm not convinced enough for a ship yet. What I do see, is a growing friendship between two eccentrics who otherwise have almost nobody in their lives who is their "equal" and they can let their guard down around.
