>>4447I know from working on
Fortnite that it has a certain design philosophy when it comes to releasing skins: it has quotas, that some must be goofy, some manly, some girly, in the same way that gameplay items are designed to appeal differently to different demographics (casual, competitive, clueless, etc.), and I think Yugioh does achieve something comparable with its mechanic and visual design, but that this wouldn't really be applicable for your run of the mill waifubait gacha. The two prior games have lots of elements that all come at the same time, in batches, while the lottery machine releases its new prizes one or two at a time, and creating a SHAB requires more work than creating a card. I don't think this level of diversification would work as well, Mihoyo already does a lot just by adding men instead of just girls.
>>4446I should add that the alternative Eldlich art also has some insane levels of swagger. A golden conquistador necromancer sitting idly in his throne of ruins, his whole theme perfectly tickles all of my fancies. In fact, I bought this one card just to have it next to my monitor because it's
that cool.

Although I understand why they'd get you banned like that, local card game matches are tabletop-adjacent in that the level of fun very much depends on what the people are collectively willing to set as the standard of play. Lots of stories out there about kicking out optimizers or cheeselords.
