Believe it or not, but there are """people""" with far more money than sense. And, thanks to them, the whole idea of "voting with your wallet" died.

None, those people a cashcows and cows don't think.
I don't mind them, the money they throw out the window indirectly fund games in some cases.

Literally the same as gambling. The human brain is not very smart.

>the whole idea of "voting with your wallet" died
But isn't what they're doing voting with their wallets?

It's a substitute for actual love for the mentally ill. They spend thousands, sometimes even tens of thousands of dollars on .jpgs they can get for free because the companies making gachashit know how to dress up a lootbox to make it appealing

"gotta catch them all"

Except gambling works because it lure you with a chance to multiply your initial investment and everyone likes that.
But .pngs are worthless.

Those thighs are so soft

Voting with your wallet doesn't work when it's realistic for one specific mentally ill person to spend 10,000 times more than the average player.

No, the gambling works because there is only a random chance of a reward, 1) that's inherently intoxicating, google skinner box, and 2) human brains are incredibly bad at understanding probability so it's much easier to trick people into paying 5 dollars for a 1% chance to get a reward than just having them pay 500 dollars for it upfront.

There isn't any.

doesn't matter if it's objectively worthless, the reward just has to be convincing enough to trick the brain into thinking it isn't.
the human brain really isn't all that complex, and exploiting psychology in marketing bullshit is pretty much an established science at this point.

Jalter!

Not when they uncapped spending. Its not a unique vote, it may as well be a flood of votes from one person.

Gacha is pointless and censored.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but whatever, I've been trying to delete my Destiny Child account for the Korean version, but every time I go to the delete account and try to delete it I get a "Error connecting to server please try again later" message, It clearly has nothing to do with my connection since it connects to literally anything else inside the games without problems except for that part, can a kind user please help.
