It costs $110k to fully gear up in Diablo Immortal
I regularly play games with gambling (gacha) mechanics and I love them. The short bursts of fun are exactly what I&#x27;m looking for in my current busy life. I have nothing against this model of monetization. Gambling is fun. Casinos are fun. I am not a big spender by any means, but I&#x27;ve probably spent ~$2k on these kind of games over the past two years or so. I don&#x27;t regret it, and for me the fun is in figuring out how to maximize the value of my spending by doing the math for different types of purchases, sometimes even coding up simulations.<p>The problem starts when it&#x27;s unregulated and you are tricking kids, or people who are not educated about probability, into spending their money in casinos, and use dozens of psychological tricks to do so and obfuscate purchases. Just like it&#x27;s easy for kids to get addicted to social media like Instagram, it&#x27;s easy and dangerous to get addicted to gambling (especially when you see your friends or popular streamers doing it). I believe all of these games should be 18+, at the very least, and come with a big warning sign.
