The gacha games are successful for a reason. It's easy to write them off if you haven't played them but the successful ones are all quite competent both as games and as gambling traps.
Even the booba ones.

badposting is a comm where you post badly
This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.
Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?
Rules:
- Do not post good posts.
- Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
- Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
- This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
- This rule intentionally left blank.
- If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.
Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

i'm having fun. i haven't spent any money. i kind of don't care. i'm going to play it until i get bored of it
Yeah that's the thing I'm saying. If you set aside the ones that fail, all the successful ones are genuinely good games within their genre. Maybe not for everyone because not everyone likes every genre, but "breath of the world style fantasy rpg" is very well catered to by Genshin, and "Action combat team-combo game" is very well catered to by ZZZ, etc etc. Each one is filling a different niche and usually filling it very well.
Eventually one of these companies is going to go after Fifa, a football team gacha game full of anime characters will be quite successful if they nail gameplay.
i haven't spent any money
Just fyi, it starts small intentionally. If you feel yourself thinking, “just a few bucks couldn’t hurt” gtfo
I've spent like $10-15 on another gacha game a while back and did not spend any more. I think I'm fine here
FIFA is extremely successful with ultimate team which is damn well a gacha model. Hell its been accused of being predatory to kids. FIFA 21 made 1.49 billion from ultimate team mode alone. Since its pretty much has a monopoly on football its a damn cash cow
Yeah that's my point. Some company could come and take EA's lunch by doing it but with characters that have bright and fun personalities and designs instead of the boring as fuck footballers. The footballers are the weakest link.
Hmmm I can't say that tbh. The footballers can have unique characteristics. The appeal of getting legends on the card is elite. Footballers are larger than life personalities so they are a massive selling point. A bunch of NPCs in football just wouldn't be the same. Part of the appeal of FIFA is the simulation aspect and some of the realism (I'm using realism loosely). Its why a game like football manager which seems like it would be bland sells like crazy. Same with Madden
FIFA 21 made 1.49 billion from ultimate team mode alone.
Destroy western civilization.
Don't fall for the sunk cost fallacy. Just delete your account and uninstall and move on. It hurts for a bit, but much better than hurting every day.
sunk cost fallacy? more like the suck cock phallussy! let's go gambling! 
This one right here officers. 
Officers seem unavailable. We may have a vol purge night. By the Gods
Officers seem unavailable.
Too busy sucking cock phallussy.
suck cock phallussy
Hey that’s my cuz
That’s how they get you. Post irony still pays apparently
I get the urge to go back to gacha from time to time but eh. Honestly the most additive thing about the one I played was getting a happy birthday message from the characters, I tend to push my needs down a lot around friends and family so even asking for a simple happy birthday was a lot. Alienation is a fuck, still if you're having fun then I'm not gonna lecture you
Okay, I'll ask. What game?
torture could not get that out of me
But did you last five minutes?
OP is an experienced gooner who's able to last 6-7 hours.
(I do not know OP and I'm making shit up.)
whomst among us hasn't gotten accidentally addicted to a gacha game... several times
I swear I'm clean now, don't touch the stuff 
lol is it Destiny's Child?
