How do you feel about gacha games?

These are a genre of game based around a type of lootbox that originated in Japan: the gashapon machine. In real life, these were toy capsule machines that allowed you to put in a coin, crank a wheel, and get some random toy as a quick and easy reward. Gacha games have blown up in the 2010s and 2020s, with some of the more notable ones being Fire Emblem Heroes, Fate Grand Order, and Hoyoverse titles like Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, and Zenless Zone Zero. These games usually rely on virtual currency that you spend to roll for a chance at winning something. Be it a weapon, some materials, or entirely new characters to play with different tiers of rarity. And you can earn this virtual currency either by playing the game and clearing daily or weekly challenges, or by buying them with real money.
