Gacha games involve monetization where players spend currency for random draws of in-game items. Despite the enjoyment from games like Persona 5: The Phantom X, which offers a unique story, the overarching view is negative toward gacha mechanics. The Phantom X features a new protagonist who explores the Metaverse and connects to the original Persona 5 narrative. The complexities of enjoying a game while disapproving of its monetization practices present a contradiction for many players. Ultimately, the view expressed is that gacha games detract from genuine storytelling in gaming.
Gacha refers to a specific type of monetization model in games, where you have to spend in-game currency to do random draws for characters, weapons, items, etc.
I've decided once and for all that gacha games as a whole are bad, and opposed to meaningful stories and gaming experiences.
The Phantom X is the latest in a long line of Persona 5 spinoffs, but this game specifically plays with the idea of almost being a pseudo-sequel to the original game.
The game's a true Persona experience with its own dedicated story, but ironically it partakes in gacha mechanics that are criticized for their predatory practices.
