What I don’t get is, you don’t own them anyway. They are lost once the server is shut down, which happens quite often for less popular games. You often don’t even play with them, the gameplay is so obnoxious and snowball-y, you just click the auto button and leave the game to itself.
For all intents and purposes, watching videos, or collecting images, has equal value and it’s free.
If you wan’t more interaction, go watch some VTuber.
imagine playing Super Smash Bros, but not knowing who Pikachu, Fox, or any other character is. then dial that up 100x because these gacha games are drawing from a universe of media that much larger than Nintendo’s.
I thought gacha referred to the lootbox mechanic, how core are anime girls to gacha gaming? Actually curious.
A lot of gacha games are anime-styled. People spend a lot of money on those rare anime girls.
It does mean the lootbox mechanic. The term comes from gachapon, Japanese vending machines where you get a small plastic capsule that contains a random figure/toy of some kind. In gaming, the virtual capsule can of course contain anything, such as new characters, recently often anime girls.
