I'd rather people be betting on gacha than getting scammed in the casino

Why? Because they target vulnerable young people instead of retarded old people? Or because they're not properly regulated? Or because there's no chance they actually win anything?

Every dollar extracted from a gacha player's pocket is one that doesn't go towards extra BD sales or figs.

>>90625
Because gacha supports japanese animators and pornography, it's an inherently decentralized evil that gives everyone something. while sports gambling cycles everyone down the funnel of centralized corruption.

You wouldn't have half the entertainment you do without gacha money being cycled through the system. Fate would be dead and forgotten if not for GO and other video games.

interesting, so this survey is specifically about japanese people in their 20s

and the source is indeed jap, the results are here

this is a stretch
there are some that do make good use of their gachabux, like indeed nasu or cygames with priconne and uma musume, but there exist tons and tons of gacha that do not translate into other forms of media of high quality, like say, those of dragon ball, arknights, or blue archive, and some original anime have been made that ended up being letdowns because they were gacha adverts, like takt op
the predominance of gacha doesn't particularly support fan artists, as they would anyways have a great amount of newly released content to make art for every season, nor am i particularly attached to any of what they do produce, and it's highly debatable whether putting money into gacha is actually good as you have none of the winnings potential of real betting nor the cheaper and unobstructed progression of a real rpg
if it's gonna be financed by massifying addiction and steering people away from better things, i'd rather it weren't made at all

>Fate would be dead and forgotten
Would be better than letting GO shit all over it. Also that's wrong because Prisma and SF were doing fine well before GO took off.

>>90631
Fate Zero existed before GO and it was huge, same with the UBW anime. I doubt it'd be dead and forgotten.

>>90631
in the worst case scenarios, i'd honestly rather a series end gracefully, i don't like when things go on for too long
and in the case of fate, i think GO ended up overriding everything else about the series, didn't it? so i can't just ignore GO if i wanted to get into fate like i can with some other series
>>90628
another thing i dislike about gacha fan-culture (for lack of a better term), i wish more ero/manga artists drew OCs more, or at least characters from games and anime i actually partake in. it feels like gacha has overtaken literally everything

>>90643
Although I can't rule out the possibility of the Strange/Fake anime existing as a super high budget project as a result of the gacha funding.

>>90645
>i wish more ero/manga artists drew OCs more, or at least characters from games and anime i actually partake in
well that's easy to fix. just play the gacha ya dum dum

>>90650
faustian and not even in a worthwhile way

>>90650
>just play the gacha
none of them are fun
nor am i particularly fond of any of their characters or character designs
