How Gacha Makes Games Worse | Episode 99 | Asians Represent!

from Asians Represent! · host Daniel Kwan, Agatha Cheng, Jeremy Blum, Drew Quon, Steve Huynh, Liana Mackenzie, & Emma Yasui

While it is widely accepted that gacha games have predatory monetization, what isn't discussed as often is how the mechanics that surround them actively make gaming experiences worse. In this episode, Liana and Pam discuss the gacha experience and how it leads to bad design and unsatisfying but addictive experiences. //SUPPORT Help us produce new and exclusive content!
