Double Standards You Have Regarding Gacha

Title. Compiled version, 2025 March edition. Mines are:

Gives free stuff - Games I like: How generous! The dev cares about the players, not money! - Games I hate: The dev must be desperate, trying to get new players while keeping current players hooked! Can you hear the approaching EoS announcement?

Doesn't give free stuff - Games I like: Game doesn't have to give anything, please understand. Stop acting spoiled! You don't even contribute anything to the game, you filthy beggars! - Games I hate: How stingy! The dev wants the players to spend money to get stuff! Hope the game gives me EoS announcement soon!

Earns more money than last month - Games I like: The banners have characters with good personality / design / skills, it's normal the players want to support the game by spending money. Game is eating good. - Games I hate: I bet they had limited banners, OP character banners, or many new banners last month and now the whales have been milked dry! No more whales = EoS soon!

Earns less money than last month
- Games I like: Nobody needed to spend money since everyone saved currency / got lucky | Last month was full of rerun banners and people didn't need to roll, it was a calm month, the dev wanted us to take a break.
- Games I hate: The players are leaving! The dev abandoned the game! EoS soon!

Has weapon banner or something equivalent - Games I like: It's not mandatory, we still can play the game normally and clear everything even as F2P. - Games I hate: Yikes! Just how greedy is the dev? Don't they care about F2P players that already used up their pulls only on character banner? EoS soon!

Has dupe system - Games I like: We don't need to roll for dupes. The characters are already playable and helpful even without dupes. - Games I hate: Look at those cashgrab, trying to milk their players by selling incomplete characters and equipments. Bet they're going to run away and announce EoS after they notice the players are dry!

Has gear system that has randomized stats and substats - Games I like: It's alright, I don't need perfect gear for anything. It's satisfying when I get good gear so it's kind of exciting. - Games I hate: Yikes, gear RNG on top of gacha? Absolutely disgusting. I bet you don't have even a single good gear. You better quit, you will only suffer there. Hope EoS comes soon so you can be free.

Has PvP - Games I like: It's not mandatory, don't like it, just skip it. You can check how good your characters and your skills are. Facing whales? No problem, you can beat them using skills! - Games I hate: Literally pay to win! If you don't spend money, be ready to not get a single win even after 100,000 matches! EoS announcement will come earlier than your first win!

Has skill animation - Games I like: Wow! Beautiful! Cool! Amazing! Also I can use it as i-frame dodge in action games! - Games I hate: What a waste of time and resource! Stop wasting my time by showing me skill animation! It's boring watching it repetitively! Hope the game releases animated EoS announcement!

Has fan service - Games I like: Cultured and based devs. If I find it too excessive, I can just ignore it, it doesn't affect my gaming experience anyway. - Games I hate: Ew! Game survives only because of fan service! If not for that, already EoS!

Has a character with "stolen" design or anything similar to other games' - Games I like: It is just a coincidence | It is just a common anime trope | It is just a reference. - Games I hate: Copycat! No creativity all! You should just copy dead games and announce EoS now!

New character powercreeps older ones - Games I like: It is just incentive for us to roll. Powercreep is inevitable, it is normal. Older units are still relevant and can clear all contents, so don't worry. - Games I hate: So you are saying the old characters are useless now? After months of raising and farming for them? Hope EoS powercreeps your life!

Has low F2P gacha currency income - Games I like: I play because of the gameplay not the gacha, I'm not a gambling addict after all. - Games I hate: How stingy! How can I roll gacha and hit pity? Gacha but I can't roll a lot? EoS soon!

Quick daily - Games I like: As it should be. Game respects my time. - Games I hate: Is it even considered playing? It's just a chore! RIP, no contents, EoS soon.

Updates QoL - Games I like: Best game ever. The devs care about us kyaaa! Love you forever! - Games I hate: Why now? Not day one? Trying to keep the players now that you noticed they're leaving? Too bad, that's the sign of EoS soon!

When someone has been playing for years - Games I like: Great taste. I see you are a man of culture as well. - Games I hate: EWW, that is sunken cost fallacy right there! Hope your game announces EoS soon so you can touch grass!

When someone whales - Games I like: Thanks for supporting the devs. The games deserve money. Money well spent! - Games I hate: What a waste. Might as well burn the money or give them to me. Hope it announces EoS soon after you're unable to refund!

When someone criticizes - Games I like: You're just overblowing things. Ah I get it, you must be a tourist, or a doomposter pretending to be a player. Talk about rent free. - Games I hate: *Joins and uses fake news / outdated information, hoping the game doesn't get new players and announces EoS soon.

Announces EoS - Games I like: It's been a good ride. *Pays respect. So long, partner. - Games I hate: Good riddance. I told you 10 years ago! I knew it would die soon! EoS time!

Feel free to share yours. It's perfectly normal to have some, don't feel bad about it.
