It's a free-to-play mobile gacha game. Therefore, it is trash. That point simply cannot be argued. It's not up for debate. If you're here to debate that point, please don't even bother. All mobile games are trash. All free-to-play games are trash. All gacha games are trash. Again: there is no debate about that.

Having gotten that out of the way: why are so many people under the false impression that this SPECIFIC trash game is somehow more than trash?

Does it have particularly sexy anime girls? Particularly sexy anime prettyboys? Cool mechs or something? Does it very sadly contain core elements of gameplay that would be fun in a non-trash setting?

Help me out, here.

You’ve yet to articulate what’s unethical

Getting. People. Addicted. To. Fucking. Gambling. And. Taking. Their. Fucking. Money.

That's the goddamned unethical part, chief.

I mean, are you fucking serious? I had to spell that shit out for you, word for fucking word? I can't even figure out the degree to which you're fucking gaslighting me. Which is the point, I suppose. Congratulations.

So, you may have known this if you played the game or perhaps even spent two minutes researching the thing you're pretending to be an expert on, but you don't have to spend money on the game. Like, at all. And other people spending money on the game doesn't impact you, as a player, because there is no multiplayer.

Anyway, thanks for the live demonstration of my point about informed opinions and such. This concludes the "ridicule" portion, now begins "dismiss".

other people spending money on the game doesn’t impact you

So you're just confirming that you're a psychopath/sociopath.

I care about other people, EVEN IF THEIR SUFFERING DOESN'T DIRECTLY AFFECT ME.

I realize this is a completely foreign concept to you, so I'll try to explain it in very simple terms, one final time:

I am not going to support a game with a gambling-based structure, because I care about other humans. I refuse to support unethical developers who are exploiting gambling addicts. That's completely separate from whether I'm going to spend money on the game myself, or whether I'm theoretically able to get everything I want from the game, without the gambling ever affecting me.

Again, I realize that your neurology isn't correctly configured to experience empathy. You can't be fixed.

So you’re just confirming that you’re a psychopath/sociopath.

I like how you had to use both terms because you don't actually know which one is accurate for the absolute fivehead accusations you're making. Another amazing conclusion from the World's Smartest Man.

FYI, psychopathy and sociopathy aren't remotely the same thing. Please, quit taking about things you don't understand, it's becoming a bad habit at this point. Literally nobody here is fooled by it and you're only embarrassing yourself.

Dude really just needs to step away from the drugs, I think.

Oh, so I'm supposed to know EXACTLY which kind of reptilian monster you are?

Doesn't matter to me. You're not a human. You're an unfeeling beast, without the emotional capacity to care for other people. You've admitted that much, and that's all I need to know. Everything else you've said makes total sense, now.
