Do You Feel About Gacha Mechanics in Games?

Gacha mechanics seem to be everywhere in gaming these days, from mobile apps to big-budget titles. While some argue they're a fun way to earn rare items and characters, others feel they push players into spending money for a chance at something good. How do you feel about them? Do you think gacha systems add value to a game, or do they just take advantage of players' desire to collect?

Gacha mechanics can enhance gameplay by adding excitement, but they often exploit players' desire to collect, leading to potential frustration.

I think gacha mechanics are mostly harmful to gaming. They’re designed to exploit psychological weaknesses, like the 'just one more pull' mentality, which can lead to gambling-like behavior. Instead of adding real value to a game, they often lock content behind a paywall and turn games into cash grabs. Developers should focus on creating rewarding systems that don’t rely on random chance.
