    If daily logins and fetch quests were mandatory for pregnancy the human race would be somehow even worse than it already is

      Fetch quests

      Why do you think pregnant women have a habit of randomly wanting very specific things?

      Wait, waking up every day and requiring food and water daily don’t already count!?

      I think you underestimate how gatcha’d we already are.

  Since Gacha stems from Gashapon vending machines (source - Wiki Gacha, I feel like medium purists should stick to vending machines only.

    Valid.

  I was going to say roguelikes aren’t a gacha because you usually don’t gamble with real money in them, but buying rougelikes can be a gatcha if you don’t know if you’ll buy a good game.

    Purchasing anything in an unregulated market is a gacha.

    Maybe I’m a goal anarchist, but I’d argue it’s still a gacha even if you gamble with fake money earned within the game.

      We need a third dimension: Resource being used Resource Purist - the resource gambled must be a real world currency or proxy for it Resource Neutral - there has to be a resource being gambled Resource Anarchist - there doesn’t have to be a resource at all

  Bold of you to assume that my offspring would be useful in some way.

  Claude’s a gatcha.

  Will you get the rare following instructions loot or the deletes-your-whole-prod-environment loot that you already have 10 of.

  Lego blind bag is a Gatcha.

  I feel called out.

    I mean of everything on the list blind bags are basically the only real gatcha. Not sure where the poster got the idea that video games are the original medium.

  All 9 of these should be illegal.

  Every pull should cost money, which disqualifies most roguelikes. Pregnancy is still a gatcha though, especially if you’re recycling for free pulls.

    Electricity costs money, thus, keyboard strokes and mouse clicks technically do have a monetary cost

    source

    • Hoimo@ani.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Time is money, but the grinding does not make the gatcha, the pulling does.

      Thought requires calories. Food costs money.

      (Similar to compute now that I spend some calories on it.)

  I found that a naturally developed a sense for a specific type of gacha. I was watching a preview for this new game that I’m forgetting the name of, something about oddities, and I noticed the combat flow which threw up a small flag, then I saw the party tell animation, then I saw the three characters, swap between, and ultimate animations. Altogether it immediately registered as gacha, went to steam and saw “free to play.”

  …damnit, now I have another gacha to play lol
