What is the worst addiction humans can go through Alcoholism or Gacha?
Gacha. With alcoholism, you know you are at rock bottom. With gacha, you keep hoping and being let down. I spent $400 to get one Oberon because i kept hoping.

Gacha, because alcoholics can be made aware of how pathetic they are when they wake up in a ditch, all wet from the rain, with spiders in their pockets and vomit all over their shirts. Gacha players refuse to admit reality, and refuse to admit that they're pathetic losers who are miserable because rather than buying stuff that could bring them happiness, like good food, a cookbook, or a cat, they instead bet their money and act like they're better than the people gambling their lives away on lottery and casinos. (also please don't actually buy cats, try to get them from animal shelters)
Yeah I don't really understand the double standards people have. Like on one hand they say all western games with lootboxes are exploitative, anti-consumer and deserves to die, then they turn around and drop their entire wallet into a gacha game and that's perfectly fine somehow.
I guess gachas are at least slightly consumer friendly when they have put limits, but it doesn't help when I also see so many gacha gamers have this attitude of "I'll max out the rolls on this game, then continue to roll for more either on another account or on a another gacha game most likely made by the same company".

Dude, gachas will never be considered as "consumer friendly" just because x is cheap per roll. At the end of the day, the things you gain in game are things you won't get to hold irl especially if said game finally goes end of service.

I know it's not "consumer friendly", but wording it as "more regulated" also wouldn't be the right term either. But overall I just don't understand the difference in attitudes.
Like in the west, if you put Darth Vader behind a paywall people will ask for your blood. In the east, if it's a small indie company using the exact same business model as FGO/Im@s/Genshin/etc, people will also shit on you. But when it's big companies in the east doing gacha, locking their most popular character behind pay wall, then releasing like 20 variations of that same character exactly to bait the whales, somehow they're celebrated?
