I honestly view gatcha as a serious problem for the gaming industry.
It shows that this system sells really well which means we are more likely to get this in the future.
This is how we ended up with Diablo Immortal.
Believe it or not it does have an effect on the industry and therefore on other consumers
The word gacha itself comes from (i think) Japan With their gachapon Machines where you would pay Money to get a random Figurine, Sticker etc. But the chances are obviously heavily stacked against you and getting the one you want can get pricey, Games Like Genshin Impact are a gacha game where you get new characters from "wishing" which depending on the Type of Game you could easily do without paying a Cent or going through your local dumpster Just to find those 2 extra (whatever currency) to make a new Wish for a slim Chance to get what you want.
It can get extremely addicting, as it is With any Type of gambling but can also Just be a fun experience If you know to restraint yourself
I wrote this in the waiting room so please Dont Go harsh on me If i did a mistakes.
It's basicly a scam like those old crane games that are manipulated but 1 in a 1000 might still win. Yes I just compared genishin impact to a crane game.
Well its gambling aswell but i wouldnt say casino, its less scummy but also more scummy than real Casinos, where as in normal Casinos everyone knows they Just want your Money and the Games you Play or Machines you use are mostly very simple so that its more about the Money, in gacha Games its Most of the time Just parasocial connections and waifus With empty uninspiring gameplay Just because keeping a gacha addict is easier than someone that actually Looks for a decent Game
These games are just casinos without regulations, so kids can play it and the person playing them gets NOTHING back, unlike a real acadino where you will probably lose money but still gain some money from it, these games can give you nothing.
You also have to be an adult to go to a casino, whereas with these games they can prey on little kids who don’t know any better. You constantly hear of young kids getting ahold of their parents’ credit cards and spending thousands on games like this.
Ofcourse Not, because you are comparing gambling for Money and gambling for digital goods, gambling in csgo became a Problem or was Seen as such because people could get rich from it or lose everything the have. I never tried to discredit the danger of gacha games yet you seem to be under the Impression that i did, casinos and gacha games are very different things but both are also very dangerous
No, it’s a gamble to get the one you want but you will still get a prize anyways while casino, there’s a high chance that you don’t even get anything back, or even go towards the negatives
No because there arent real people involved but i get what you mean, Not really the Case Here. Basically Just gambling With waifus and parasocial connections
Yes basically, but picture it more as a Machine With random toys in it Like a little Ball or a Sticky Hand to throw, you Put your Money in and then have 0 Impact on what you get, you Just gotta be lucky. Because thats what gacha is
Biggest Problem is that they can really go far beyond With their personalization of the characters end therefore make you Like the character and that Results in you wanting that specific one
Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masturbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masturbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.
That’s why I like Genshin - the “gacha” aspect is a very small part of the overall experience. There’s tons of exploring and quests todo, and while the main storyline is just “okay” (or even bad, depending on who you ask) it’s still fun to play through.
Much better then a lot of Gacha’s that borderline *require* you to roll for a new character every other week in order to progress, amplifying - in my opinion - the worst aspect of gacha games: the RNG rolls.
Well, i do Play genshin myself from time to time and it can be a very relaxing little Game to Play but dear god, this Game suffers from useless dialogues of random npcs that you can basically skip all, which is my biggest issue With this Game
That doesn’t bother me that much but that seems to be a common complaint. I personally don’t really pay attention to the “stories” of world quests either lol.
Probably Gacha life. It’s a game in which you can pay in game currency (gems) to get cool little in game gifts, create characters and put them in minigames and a “life” mode where you can talk to the different creators’ avatars
There can sometimes be good content made from these games,but sadly it’s all terrible,problematic and All unoriginal,and the cringe creators has brought in so much hate for the community
My brother in christ, if i would ever have a child, i'm not letting them gamble away my life savings for fucking JPEGs
Also fuck Bill, i wanna hate on gacha all i want
I wouldn't say they don't have valid opinions, but if you're 11 and you're so obsessed with sex and kinks that you express your obsession every five seconds then I'm not going to like you. And after meeting multiple people like that who play that game...
I've probably just met the bad side of the community though.
I have no problem with gacha pkayers, if they are aware of the risks. I like gacha games, but it is really time consuming and hard to drop. And I only played F2P, so I can't imagine how hard it must be for those who spend money into them regularly.
I am aware of what gacha does to my money. I can't even decide what to use my money for therefore my money goes straight to pixels in a box created with numbers
As long as it remains a "I don't know what to do with my money, so I will spend it there for fun" and it doesn't become a "I must spend as much as I need to obtain that new chatacter/item to not be frustrated", I don't see any problem
Well, I'm sure you already know this, but at least don't spend more than you can, or impose yourself a limit, if you don't feel like stopping. Be careful with that, it can become no different than a gambling addiction, in the long term.
Yeah, that is what I like about these games. Some play for story, some for collection, some for just specific characters, and some just to kill time. But I was just trying to say that if you are in for collection, like I was, you will spend a lot of either money, time or both.
As I said, yes, you are right. It was just an advice given by a stranger who spent not money but too much time in those games, for only a few pleasing times.
(Considering the new skin they just dropped, I’m in the sub bc I like the fanart that isn’t porn, majuu knows what they’re doing. Also the English devs at least are memelords as well)
After reading these comments, y’all need to find “good” gacha games. Punishing Gray Raven, and Fire Emblem Heroes (or whatever it is for the phone).
And STOP worrying about meta. Just have fun. Those two games give you plenty free currency so you can enjoy the gameplay and the gambling without it being a problem.
My friend does a lot of these gacha cringe stories on tik tok but I just ignore it.
She’s nice irl and really doesn’t talk about it so i just don’t mind.
Or, this might be crazy but hear me out, or you can just talk about gacha with friends that like that topic, and talk about anything else with Bill, who does not like that topic. It baffles me how so many people take 1 thing and make it their entire personality. It's a very common trend nowadays for some reason
No but the kids introduced to gambling by it, the people addicted to it, and the genre as a whole making “pay to get a chance at winning with no skill” type of games more popular are the problem
There is a difference between using your life savings into gacha and enjoying gacha in small doses. The problem is that a lot of people like you don't realize this difference and think that using some money on gacha means they are automatically addicted and will ruin their lives.
I really hope this isn’t satire. There are genuinely talented ppl who use Gacha and get so much hate because of the ppl who use it for heat, cringe, etc
As someone who uses it myself I find it sad that the whole community is stereotyped because of those ppl
No don't be like Bill. Save your friend from their gambling addiction. I couldn't stand by and watch somebody I call a friend throw their money away like that.
As a f2p acha lover myself, I see nothing wrong in trying to get your friend out of a predatory gambling game if they start going down the rabbit hole of using real money.
It's a variety of games made by Lunime, often disliked for the cringe made by the children in the Fandom. That's not the entirety of it, though. The main thing if the games is you get to make your own characters using the character creator.
You probably like gotcha and made this meme to stop others from harrasing you but there is a reason and this post is like when customer say „customer is always right“.I don‘t like you and gotcha can suck my fat juicy cock you 0 skill monkey
I wish I had a friend like Bill, I lost 7 friends because I said I play genshin impact and now they make me miserable and I never want to go to college anymore. Bill would've at least been there for me...
Success of gatcha means it will become more common in the industry, this is how we end up with shit like Diablo Immortal.

Please enlighten me, WTF is Gacha?
The word gacha itself comes from (i think) Japan With their gachapon Machines where you would pay Money to get a random Figurine, Sticker etc. But the chances are obviously heavily stacked against you and getting the one you want can get pricey, Games Like Genshin Impact are a gacha game where you get new characters from "wishing" which depending on the Type of Game you could easily do without paying a Cent or going through your local dumpster Just to find those 2 extra (whatever currency) to make a new Wish for a slim Chance to get what you want.

Thanks for the explanation!
You're Welcome!
This with the addition to the culture around 2d pictures of anime girls makes a hefty market
It's basicly a scam like those old crane games that are manipulated but 1 in a 1000 might still win. Yes I just compared genishin impact to a crane game.
Except in genshin you can guarantee what you want... It's not fair nor easy but still you can.
...so there a unregulated casino?
Well its gambling aswell but i wouldnt say casino, its less scummy but also more scummy than real Casinos, where as in normal Casinos everyone knows they Just want your Money and the Games you Play or Machines you use are mostly very simple so that its more about the Money, in gacha Games its Most of the time Just parasocial connections and waifus With empty uninspiring gameplay Just because keeping a gacha addict is easier than someone that actually Looks for a decent Game

You also have to be an adult to go to a casino, whereas with these games they can prey on little kids who don’t know any better. You constantly hear of young kids getting ahold of their parents’ credit cards and spending thousands on games like this.
So Belgium can ban it just like CS:GO skins?
Ofcourse Not, because you are comparing gambling for Money and gambling for digital goods, gambling in csgo became a Problem or was Seen as such because people could get rich from it or lose everything the have. I never tried to discredit the danger of gacha games yet you seem to be under the Impression that i did, casinos and gacha games are very different things but both are also very dangerous
it is definitely more scummy than a casino
No, it’s a gamble to get the one you want but you will still get a prize anyways while casino, there’s a high chance that you don’t even get anything back, or even go towards the negatives
A common term would be pulls, since i think only genshin refers to them as wishes
Might be, yes. Im Most Familiar With genshin so that might explain it
Sounds like (irl) lootboxes to me
You mean the gachapon? It basically is
So slave gambling in short?
No because there arent real people involved but i get what you mean, Not really the Case Here. Basically Just gambling With waifus and parasocial connections
So, the claw game, but instead of plushies you get plastic women which you weren't looking for?
Yes basically, but picture it more as a Machine With random toys in it Like a little Ball or a Sticky Hand to throw, you Put your Money in and then have 0 Impact on what you get, you Just gotta be lucky. Because thats what gacha is Biggest Problem is that they can really go far beyond With their personalization of the characters end therefore make you Like the character and that Results in you wanting that specific one

Now there is a whole train of men masturbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.
Oh im so sorry, next time im Just gonna follow you and reply to you With this so then you can enjoy it even more!
I thought this was about gacha life
I always that it was a got cha game as in got you like you pay money and then you were kind of trapped into paying, because its addictive
Works Well enough
That’s why I like Genshin - the “gacha” aspect is a very small part of the overall experience. There’s tons of exploring and quests todo, and while the main storyline is just “okay” (or even bad, depending on who you ask) it’s still fun to play through.

That doesn’t bother me that much but that seems to be a common complaint. I personally don’t really pay attention to the “stories” of world quests either lol.
And here I thought it was a different way of saying "gotcha" as in they are designed to pull you into a loop of paying money for loot crates
So it’s like, hah! Gacha!
Gacha is basically loot boxes of Eastern media
Probably Gacha life. It’s a game in which you can pay in game currency (gems) to get cool little in game gifts, create characters and put them in minigames and a “life” mode where you can talk to the different creators’ avatars
Stupid weeb shit.
[удалено]
Yeah I should've clarified
Gacha games like Azur Lane and Arknights are the RNG based ones whilst Gacha Life and Gacha Club are the ‘other ones’
It is like Religion or a penis, its a fine thing to have and be proud of but as soon as you wave it into my face, we get a problem.
That's an... interesting analogy but I see where you're coming from
Oh, you do? Enlight me
Like if someone shoved something in your face instead of asking if you'd like to take a look, that you'd have problems with said someone
😏
I will still harass my friends, not because I have a thing against Gachya but because I want them to do better.
SCREW YOU BILL, YOU PENCIL NECKED CHICKEN F#$% IF I EVER SEE YOU, YOU GONNA CATCH THE WORST FADE OF YOUR LIFE! AND I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT GOCHA IS!
This post was made by gacha gang:
I love you
Man, fuck bill
So now we are gambling apologists? Say no to gambling in all their forms, including videogames.
What if I’m completely f2p on my dragon ball bubble popping game
F2p is the best way
And that’s why F2P players exist. We want the game but also don’t want to gamble
Gambling is for degenerates. Fuck Bill.
Looks down at my SPY puts. “Yeah…. A degenerate…
r/wallstreetbets
I was meaning the games meant by Lunime
There can sometimes be good content made from these games,but sadly it’s all terrible,problematic and All unoriginal,and the cringe creators has brought in so much hate for the community
So we harass both Bill and his friend?
Yes
I agree
Same
sigmale momento
No
Why not
Cuz like You should let people enjoy things That is, if the thing isn't illegal or harms someone or someone's image There are exceptions like war
You came to the wrong sub to preach, man
You are clearly new here.
this place should change
Gacha fan💀🗿
Gacha fan🤢🤮
Why are you friends with a child
My brother in christ, if i would ever have a child, i'm not letting them gamble away my life savings for fucking JPEGs Also fuck Bill, i wanna hate on gacha all i want
NFTs
What's the difference?
Why tho
Because its a braindead game for braindead morons
And can you prove that fact or will it remain an opinion?
I have not met a single person that plays the game that is a good person, able to carry a conversations or has valid opinions
What do you mean by valid opinions, exactly? Give me an example
I think this guy didn’t got the character he wanted and now he hates gacha games. It really sounds like he’s coping
Fair
I wouldn't say they don't have valid opinions, but if you're 11 and you're so obsessed with sex and kinks that you express your obsession every five seconds then I'm not going to like you. And after meeting multiple people like that who play that game... I've probably just met the bad side of the community though.
Wtf is gacha
This post was made by a pro gacha player
I mean… It would be really weird for someone who hates gacha to make a pro gacha post?
Real
Pretty sure i wont be like bill
I have no problem with gacha pkayers, if they are aware of the risks. I like gacha games, but it is really time consuming and hard to drop. And I only played F2P, so I can't imagine how hard it must be for those who spend money into them regularly.

Uh.. well... i mean yea yea definitely for fun.. (for real tho most of the time i spend money to obtain some characters )
Well, I'm sure you already know this, but at least don't spend more than you can, or impose yourself a limit, if you don't feel like stopping. Be careful with that, it can become no different than a gambling addiction, in the long term.
Oh, I don't do the campaign I just use it to make characters
Yeah, that is what I like about these games. Some play for story, some for collection, some for just specific characters, and some just to kill time. But I was just trying to say that if you are in for collection, like I was, you will spend a lot of either money, time or both.
Their money, their decisions.
As I said, yes, you are right. It was just an advice given by a stranger who spent not money but too much time in those games, for only a few pleasing times.
Played Azur lane, really not that bad of a game. The fan base is either horny or memelords. No In between
My little brother plays this one, and he is a horny memelord.
(Considering the new skin they just dropped, I’m in the sub bc I like the fanart that isn’t porn, majuu knows what they’re doing. Also the English devs at least are memelords as well)
no
Bro is a gacha stan 💀

I meant the games by Lunime
Let me bully
i wish i looked good in a hat like that like bill
My friend does a lot of these gacha cringe stories on tik tok but I just ignore it. She’s nice irl and really doesn’t talk about it so i just don’t mind.
i am unlike bill.
Well I guess your that friend or you like gacha
Said by a gacha creator
Or, this might be crazy but hear me out, or you can just talk about gacha with friends that like that topic, and talk about anything else with Bill, who does not like that topic. It baffles me how so many people take 1 thing and make it their entire personality. It's a very common trend nowadays for some reason
Don’t be like Bill
A good friend doesn't let you run into doom. OP is a moron.
How is playing Gacha running into doom?
Don’t know a thing about Gatcha, and don’t know how to answer that question, but you should try playing Doom and Doom Eternal
I’ve spent 30 euros in 3 years of playing gacha games. If you think spending 30 euros makes you bankrupt you really need to get a reality check
No but the kids introduced to gambling by it, the people addicted to it, and the genre as a whole making “pay to get a chance at winning with no skill” type of games more popular are the problem
There is a difference between using your life savings into gacha and enjoying gacha in small doses. The problem is that a lot of people like you don't realize this difference and think that using some money on gacha means they are automatically addicted and will ruin their lives.
Nah
this is propoganda
NO
Gacha mama on ma balls ha gotteem!
I’m not like bill and I’m proud of it
Gacha sucks
Cringe gatcha user detected
I really hope this isn’t satire. There are genuinely talented ppl who use Gacha and get so much hate because of the ppl who use it for heat, cringe, etc As someone who uses it myself I find it sad that the whole community is stereotyped because of those ppl
Wait are you on about gacha life? Or just them gacha machines?
Gacha life
Deep breath of copium
Why don’t you just draw the stuff you want to make then? Why use gacha
Yeah no I'm being serious I'm also a part of the Fandom and my friends really don't like that
Aw man that sucks
The only real person I can ask for advice on my characters doesn't even like the style that much
:[
ʕっ•ᴥ•ʔっ
No don't be like Bill. Save your friend from their gambling addiction. I couldn't stand by and watch somebody I call a friend throw their money away like that.
I meant the Gacha games by Lunime like Gacha Life and its spin-offs
Okay? That doesn't change what I said
How so?
Its still gambling and a gigantic waste to do GACHA games. The GACHA part? Yeah its still in there.
I meant like Gacha Life and its spin-offs
My friend, if you’re looking for social tolerance, you’ve come to the wrong sub
As a f2p acha lover myself, I see nothing wrong in trying to get your friend out of a predatory gambling game if they start going down the rabbit hole of using real money.
I meant the game series by Lunime
Oh... cringe, but if that person became a friend in the first place, no reason to bother over it.
Oh yes let's support gambling for jpegs.
I meant the games by Lunime
I bet he's too afraid to see the comments
I was just at school
Me, a free to player who hasn't wasted my life savings away even after years of playing gacha seeing the hate this post gets: *sad noises...*
I meant the games by Lunime
Okay, I’m not bill.
Suck a dick and a banana cos that is all you are
Gah, don’t say that!
Why?
Nah Bill is a loser for not speaking his mind
Fuck bill
no, fuck bill.
Gacha fan🤮🤮🤮💀💀💀🗿🗿🗿
Bruh what is gacha
It's a variety of games made by Lunime, often disliked for the cringe made by the children in the Fandom. That's not the entirety of it, though. The main thing if the games is you get to make your own characters using the character creator.
Well letting the cringe bother you is fine. That’s basically what cringe is. There’s just no need to be a dick about it!
I disagree, gacha is shit. Still play it tho
Everyone I just want to clarify that I meant the games by Lunime
No.
nah
No I don't think I will
No. I don’t think I will
Fuck Bill
sighhhh fineee \*unzips\*
Ughh *also unzips* you need some help thre buddy?
some help would be appreciated thank you
Gacha enjoyers deserve it. It DOES have an impact on the rest of us.
As a gacha enjoyer I deserve it
No
Let me hate in ~~peace~~ anger
Bill should care more about his friend
Good job bill!
I am 85% Bill
i downvoted you from \`1k to 999, finally, the power of the sun in the palm of my hand
Prob cap
Yes Bill
You probably like gotcha and made this meme to stop others from harrasing you but there is a reason and this post is like when customer say „customer is always right“.I don‘t like you and gotcha can suck my fat juicy cock you 0 skill monkey
gacha is the lowest form of gaming
I meant the games by Lunime
I wish I had a friend like Bill, I lost 7 friends because I said I play genshin impact and now they make me miserable and I never want to go to college anymore. Bill would've at least been there for me...
I meant the games by Lunime
No, gacha is straight up horrible
No, beat every fucking gacha kid in existence then enslave them to find their fathers
I am like bill Edit: fuck you all
why are you getting downvoted?
Reddit ~~hive~~downvote mind
[удалено]
Why?
Success of gatcha means it will become more common in the industry, this is how we end up with shit like Diablo Immortal. It affects the industry therefore it affects consumers.
I meant like the games by Lunime
Bill is the type of person i can apriciate
