Started playing genshin a week ago. Don't think I've hit the gatcha specific dread just yet, but totally expecting to sooner or later. We'll see. Basically this is the first gatcha game I played, and I dunno what I'm getting myself into.
its free.
thats it.
thats it.
it's like gambling but instead of money as your prize, you'll get PNGs of anime girls/boys instead.
luck is the only answer for that.

Some people will sell their liver just for a picture of a half naked anime girl
It's a rigged casino, as those games are P2W anyway. I've played a few myself, and sent a lot of data over to those companies (not my osu! email, though).
because people are addicted to gambling
the feeling of being lucky mixed with horny, makes fake happiness
Addictive
But Gacha games, single Guaranteed reward is sucks
If some games give me high rarity items like Bang Dream *4 card, Love Live UR card, D4DJ *4 card, PJ Sekai *4 card, Genshin Impact *5 Characters/*5 weapons, Honkai Impact S rank card/*4 Weapon, etc because too many Gacha games lol
Somehow people tried gacha, get 2 or more high rarity items from it

I think the answer is a mix between boredom, decent, but repetitive, gameplay, mechanics similar to gambling, and a bit of peer pressure.
Answer varies a lot. Some people play it for waifus, some people play it to "gamble", and some people play it for the actual game. Can be a combination of everything I said as well. For me, I play because there's nothing to play and gacha games give ~1-2 weeks of entertainment for me.
It's insanely addictive, but not in a good way. I'm a AR 58 player in Genshin, so I know a lot about it. The gatcha part just adds to it. The game is insanely profitable. And believe me. There isn't much difference between a "whale" spender and a F2P player. Just because you spend thousands of dollars, you won't instantly one-shot anything. Ofc, there is a difference. But not a difference that is worth thousands of dollars. The game is fun, and the storyline is kinda interesting. The fact, that it's a gatcha game, is just a really profitable method to the big shots.
as someone who has been playing multiple gachas over the years, this is somewhat incorrect. it mostly boils down to what game you are playing (specifically the marketting) and your luck. games like Blue Archive wants you to have the best student to beat the best levels, and if your luck is shit you might hit "the wall". it does have an insanely low rate up but thats besides the point. meanwhile games like Azur Lane wants you to have every shipgirls in the game. there will always be an alternative to the meta shipgirls, it focuses more on building so the game favours the grinder rather than the spender.HyBer wrote:

Crippling addiction to dopamine /srs
Rolling high star = instant reward

You all speak of Genshin and, like, 97% of the time Genshin, when there's now YGO Master Duel too to throw some "stuff" at
Anyways, opinion of a Princess Connect! Re:Dive veteran:
If your first foray into gacha is Genshin Impact, then get the hell out of it.
Side note: I'm legal. 29 November 1998. You calculate.
And my focus lately is on the DLC-style games like Arcaea where you do spend a lot but you buy not gamble, and the one-time-offs like Tetris Effect: Connected and the whole lot of visual novels out there, ranging from Little Busters to School Days to Amairo Chocolata to even Lilium Wedding Plan and Soushisouai Lolita. So I'm pretty clean here......relatively...since I do play gacha games but, you get the gist.

Money?
Usually for one to really see what a gacha game feels like, one would have to pick the extreme examples of both sides of a "generous" and "stingy" gacha game, because trying to maintain a gacha game, developer's side yep, is actually a gamble of its own, let alone the idea of players spending money trying to get that sweet sweet SSR or whatever highest rarity. Genshin is a good example of a stingy gacha game, but somehow for the money you spend you get a completely different gacha which CAN be a good thing in Genshin, unironically. Or so I heard.
Because I don't spend money at all on these games.
Even if I felt like spending some, and tried to put some in, I was reminded by Google Play Store ITSELF that gacha games' survival is also a gamble, a la D4DJ Groovy Mix which is actually alive, but you can smell the risk of its "End of Service" with the updates getting pushed. So I just prefer to stay F2P and try to get the most I can out of the stingy ones and pick the right timing to blow my free load in the generous ones, to avoid actual gambling.
Yes, gacha can be literal gambling depending on your perspective. But then you have the players with gambling addiction. Those won't get out of the gacha games. My condolences.

Content?
Gacha games, stingy and generous, usually have to provide content that's enticing enough to lure you in, and that in fact is a skill indeed--I'd cite Cygames here, even, but Granblue Fantasy is a bad example. Refer to Princess Connect! Re:Dive or Uma Musume: Pretty Derby for this.
Priconne, especially, is a devil in this. For the little playtime you get you actually feel like you'd be logging in multiple times daily out of habit, just because the content is "mastered" in a "magnetic" way. You check how the other gacha games fare. You'll figure why such a skill of "mastering" the content is crucial and effective for luring players into gacha games.

Life?
I hope you have a life. My deepest regret because I'm kind of, screwed, even while F2P.
Most players who really can't find something in life will just resort to gacha games nowadays, since it gives that "needed" entertainment or whatever you'd call it, addiction even if you must. But what if I told you there were attempts to combine the best of gacha and lifestyle? Even then, good luck to those developers as this is a hard task. Games like those end up shutting down eventually, unless there's some in-game socialising taken to 11 as players use the game to meet in the real world. But I hope you're in Japan for this.

Ongeki.
If you don't know what it is, good.
It's a gacha game.
But it's an arcade game.
It's an ARCADE GACHA game. A freaking ARCADE MTX. With a literal gacha IN ITS LITERAL CONTEXT.
But hey, if arcade, you're always out in the wild, so you can get a life somehow, eventually, with matchmaking in Ongeki. But, this is Ongeki we're speaking of.........

They are addicting and people tend to be attracted to anime girls more if they require you to sink 100+ hours into unlocking them. They also are fun.
Mental Checkpoint has an amazing video that tells you about the practices that gacha games participate in, and I highly recommend you watch it. Almost no one comes out learning nothing from it.
because gambling addictions are a thing and weeaboos are also a thing and they get combined together to form people who play gacha games
we like to suffer the dread and salt that come with it
its just money
because gambling for anime characters is addictive and gives you a sense of satisfaction when you finally get the character you were rolling for ig
the pixel art version of the characters are cool (this is guardian tales if someone asks).
