It’s a free-to-play mobile gacha game. Therefore, it is trash. That point simply cannot be argued. It’s not up for debate. If you’re here to debate that point, please don’t even bother. All mobile games are trash. All free-to-play games are trash. All gacha games are trash. Again: there is no debate about that.

Having gotten that out of the way: why are so many people under the false impression that this SPECIFIC trash game is somehow more than trash?

Does it have particularly sexy anime girls? Particularly sexy anime prettyboys? Cool mechs or something? Does it very sadly contain core elements of gameplay that would be fun in a non-trash setting?

Help me out, here.

    Have you played the game? What about it is predatory? It never forced me to pay for anything and I was able to complete the story without spending a dime.

    I’m not stanning anything. Just being part of the, discussion, if you can call it that.

    It just sounds like you’re judging it solely based on the fact there are a few buzzwords in the game and you’re not forming an actual opinion of your own.

      Please address my point about Reddit. How is it not hypocritical to leave Reddit and come here, to the fringes of the internet, based on moral principles…but then go ahead and support and defend mobile F2P gacha game villains?

          They are absolutely comparable.

          You left Reddit because of moral/ethical principles. In other words, you won’t run the Reddit app on your phone because of moral/ethical principles.

          But you’ll run GACHA GAME APPS on your phone. Compared to the villainous motherfuckers who run the gacha game racket, /u/Spez is a literal saint.

        Some of us are just here because they killed our app. Don’t assume everyone is here for the same ‘moral’ reasons you are.

          The high percentage of psychopaths/sociopaths in this community is RAPIDLY educating me on that point. Rest assured.
