Let's Talk Gacha Games (X% IS A LIE)

I used to play F:GO until I realized it sucks and I'd rather play a PC game

Probably the only reason I played so long was my S-tier luck, I have tons of good SR and SSRs

It seems a tricky balancing act for something turn based to be fun.

Not sure about that. turn based games are done extremely well in some instances; see Darkest Dungeon, for an example of amazing turn-based combat.

It's just that gacha games aren't about the gameplay, they're about the loot/rolls/collectable jpegs, so they sacrifice depth

I think the main problem with gacha games is their predatory business model, preying on those who have gambling problems/dont understand statistics/etc

it's an industry I don't feel comfortable supporting

I have a fear of gacha games after having had a serious cognitive dissonance whiplash about my spending on one

your mistakes make you who you are, you're a better person for them. instead of regretting your past choices, recognize that you learned from them and feel confident that you're smarter now than you were then.
