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?
“Please, sir, I am dying and with child 😪 10 watermelons and 100 anchovies 🥰”
Wait, waking up every day and requiring food and water daily don’t already count!?
I think you underestimate how gatcha’d we already are.
Since Gacha stems from Gashapon vending machines (source - Wiki Gacha, I feel like medium purists should stick to vending machines only.
Valid.
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.
Purchasing anything in an unregulated market is a gacha.
Maybe I’m a goal anarchist, but I’d argue it’s still a gacha even if you gamble with fake money earned within the game.
We need a third dimension: Resource being used Resource Purist - the resource gambled must be a real world currency or proxy for it Resource Neutral - there has to be a resource being gambled Resource Anarchist - there doesn’t have to be a resource at all
Pregnancy is a gatcha
Bold of you to assume that my offspring would be useful in some way.
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?
All 9 of these should be illegal.
For etymology purists, “gacha” is the sound made by the hand-crank on a vending machine.
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.)
