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.
Since Gacha stems from Gashapon vending machines (source - Wiki Gacha, I feel like medium purists should stick to vending machines only.
Valid.
Pregnancy is a gacha lol
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?
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?
Great now im fantasising about what a Moulin Rougelike would look like
For etymology purists, "gacha" is the sound made by the hand-crank on a vending machine.
Lego blind bag is a Gatcha.
I feel called out.
I love this format
Pregnancy is the gotcha gatcha.
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
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 I 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 parry 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
