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

It’s literally just an opportunity to get the skin CHEAPER than if they were to just sell it..

In theory yes, but based on how effective gambling can be, and how this kind of balloon popping event is not regulated in any way, there's nothing stopping them from arbitrarily making your odds of getting the skin first try very, very low.

Like if you have 1200 blue units in your account, the game can guarantee that you spend every last unit. But if you don't have any, And spend real money, they inflate your chance of getting it first or second try.

This. Like god Reddit comment sections are so brain dead when it comes to the reality of gambling and how most people respond to it. Like I am so happy the average Redditor of the Riavls sub is immune to this but most people aren’t.

The gambling aspect leads people who didn’t even really want the skins to see they have 300 units so may as well give it a spin or two. And then they get high on the anticipation or say “oh well I already did some spins may as well do another… and then another… and then another” until suddenly they pay full price for something they didn’t want

And the moment someone genuinely gets one of these the first few balloons and sees it is possible? It’s over. They over inflate how common it is and then pull for every single one.

And the people all coming to Reddit to share how they got it in one are just feeding people the fact it is possible, again giving an impression it is easy to win. It isn’t. I’ve pulled four of these and paid the full price everytime. Most people aren’t probably being taken all the way but are still holding onto that idea they will eventually get their break.

It’s gambling plain and simple. And people who defend it are kissing the ass of a company by helping justify the gambling for people all around

Edit: oh not to mention they give the “incentive” of the second skin being half off. So then you feel inclined to just get the other one as well cause it’s just so much cheaper
