I’ve browsed a few Japanese forums in the past (with the help of Google Translate), and I’ve seen people defending these practices under the guise of "contributing." Meanwhile, I’m sitting here thinking "contributing to what exactly? Contributing to screwing yourself over?"
I also remember reading a Reddit thread a few years back, discussing a Famitsu artcile where Famitsu reportedly called players “greedy” for wanting a "pity system" - you know, a mechanic that guarantees you eventually get the character you've often spent $200+ trying to get after multiple failed attempts.
It really seems like the issue isn’t just the companies pushing these predatory practices, it’s also the mindset of a large chunk of the community enabling it.
