Why did the rise in popularity of casino gacha coincide with the decline and high-profile scandals condemning games with lootboxes? Weren't the same people who were so proud to bury the lootboxes immediately ran to donate completely incomparable amounts of money for png pictures and 3d models of not the best quality?

    You're not looking at the same group of people. You're looking at two different groups. Depicting them as the same is a fricking strawman. People who have problems with loot boxes also have problems with gacha. People who condone loot boxes are the same ones addicted to gacha. There's no hypocrisy, you're just a fricking moron.

      Nah, the meme is partly right. People who hate lootboxes almost always hate gachas as well but people who like gachas are far more likely to defend it while attacking lootboxes exclusively.

      You can absolutely see the mental gymnastics in almost every single gacha threads on Ganker. These two groups of people are not the same.

        normal people in real life don't even know what a gacha is. If I walked through downtown all day where I live I would not see one person who has ever spent money on gachashit

          Never said you would but if you explained what gacha was to a normalgay Fortnite lootbox addicted, they're wouldn't be phased by it. Meanwhile the gacha addict would absolutely look down on the lootbox addict.

      This is a very common logical fallacy on Ganker, don’t let it upset you. morons aren’t worth your energy.

    >same people
    You live in a world with 8 billion people, and they all have different tastes in everything
    There are even people that want to have sex with you in this group, and want to do so while you're dressed as ardy lightfoot from the ardy lightfoot game.

    I love reading 35+ year old men crying about gacha.
    Genshin Impact is better than Ocarina of Time.

    Of course people will come and say these are totally not the same group of people. This board is filled with gacha garbage threads, and they don't like looking at themselves in the mirror.

      Ganker is not one cohesive group of people.
      For example, there are many morons here that thing that it is, and smart people that disagree with it.

        You're correct, but only because I gained my incredible luck after an accident in which I was hit in the face with a MLB baseball.

    I have not spent a single cent on Genshin Impact for 2 years, yet I've been able to enjoy hours of new quality content for free that other developers would have charged over $100 for

    I doubt that the people complaing about $60 games are the same that spend much more on gacha games, they play those games for free

    Maybe that was the plan, to use the lootboxes as a loud battering ram to break through the gates of moral norms, through which the microtransactions then flowed. Capital holders just traded a pawn for a queen, it seems to me, because wherever you look, it seems that everyone has already reconciled with battle passes, skins for 20 bucks and the need to bring $ 200 monthly to comfortably play your favorite gacha.

    I've never understood this argument, when the 'jpeg' actually has utility within the game itself
    It'd apply more recently with NFTs or maybe skins for said character
    The real problem is games as a service, or live service gaming, as both the time and bottom hold no meaning or value once the service closes
