They are doing another pop event isn’t this like the 8th one we had? First it was those summer skins and in total that was 6. the 2 pajama ones bring us to 8. The dino one brings us to 9. The 2 celestial ones is now 11. Now this new one brings us to 14 gatcha events. At this point it’s just scummy

"Just learn self control" as if gambling addiction isnt a serious mental health issue that can be quickly solved. Jesus christ this take is so out of touch and unempathetic.

They should get help or have people responsible for them help them. Your addiction is not other people's problem.

Theyre usually not indentified until its too late, and they have to want the help as well. It doesnt have to be anyone elses problem but you can at least have empathy for another human being with mental health issues.

Why even be alive then? You have no agency. You can't control yourself. You're mad a company wants money. Nothing is ever in your control. Why even be a human being?

The fuck are you on about? All Im asking for is empathy (a basic human emotion) for people with mental health issues (something out of their control). Companies can make money without using predatory tactics that are banned in several countries, it happens daily. Why is defending these predatory tactics the hill yall are desperately wanting to die on?

It's not predatory, this isn't even real gacha. You're just too stupid to understand that.

So are you saying we shouldn't have stairs because some people don't have legs? We shouldn't allow people to smoke because others lungs are shot?

You have agency. Stop infantalizing people and realize they live with the choices they make. If a child is spending their parents money, that's a THEM issue. Getting offended at a company trying to make money wherever possible is akin to getting mad at people for breathing.

What do you mean its not predatory? Do you realize the amount of psychological studies that have gone into these kinds of things? Everything from the visual design, hiding the odds as best as legally possible, giving discounts on the other balloon set is all intentional to trigger the basic part of your brain that wants to gamble.

Gambling addictions are not a choice. It is a mental health issue. Like holy shit its not that hard to understand that. You cant say "Just dont gamble".

What the fuck is that comparison to stairs lmao. Are you saying the Big Stairs corporation is intentionally taking advantage of disabled people for profit? That might be the worst analogy Ive ever heard.

They tell you the percent chance you have. They SHOW YOU. You're comparing lootboxes to this event and that's STUPID.

YES. They will do what they can to get you to buy. That. Is. Their. JOB.

Are you dense?
