Gacha games isn't a scam, it's just legalized gambling for kids. You get exactly what you paid for, a chance to win.

A chance to win the access to use a fictional character/weapon that will be revoked as soon as the game closes. Seems like even more of a scam than regular gambling, and that's already pretty iffy.

Gambling for JPEGs on a screen that cannot be resold and will be taken from you at a moments notice. This is a billion-dollar industry btw. God people are stupid.

Yeah I guess it’s more predatory than scammy. Still shitty though.
