This is exactly the reason why I won't play gacha games. First everyone complains about loot boxes and microtransactions and then a game-genre where that's the core of the game takes off.

Just goes to show that the people that (rightly) complain about microtransactions cheapening gaming experiences were always in the minority and most will just keep spending like headless chickens.

Most people I know aren't or don't see themselves as gambling addicts. They're "proud" about how much they spent.
