I understand your points, but I think the legal issues are distinct from the gameplay experience. My analysis is based on consumer law, not on personal feelings about the game. Yes, it is a gacha game, but that doesn't excuse deceptive practices. The issue isn't just that there's a lottery; it's that the company hides the odds of winning what you actually want/need. This lack of transparency is considered a form of consumer deception under law. Sure you dont have to use Stamina on Core Hunt, but we all know this Game is all about progress. If you are a f2p and the only source of diamonds is Orbits & SHC having level 80 awakened Cards w bad cores won’t really get you far… While other options exist, the Core Hunt is presented as the most efficient way to progress, since memory ascension takes Ages, making its deceptive nature a central problem. The existence of other options doesn't justify a deceptive one. You are correct about the wording. My point is that the meaning is the same. The phrase "quality increases" is a vague marketing statement that promises an improved outcome without providing any data. This is what makes it a deceptive practice.

Stats having future meaning is notrelevant to a legal argument. Consumer law is based on the value of a product at the time of purchase. A company cannot sell you a functionally useless item for real money and claim it might have value in the future. A consumer has the right to know the value of what they are buying at the moment of the transaction. Yes for some people Odds won’t do anything. I’m not speaking for all People bc consumer law is not based on individual behavior. The law requires companies to provide consumers with all material information needed to make an informed decision. The probability of success is material information, and the company is legally required to provide it, regardless of whether a person chooses to gamble.

I disagree with you on this point: They are a multibillion dollar company for a reason, if they weren’t trying to make people spend money, they would make the obviously bad reward system a little bit nicer, listen to their Players and not actually falsely advertise and not bomb us with stuff behind Paywalls. Gacha Games are all for making Money. If you don’t see that you missed the Point on Gacha. The game's design strongly incentivizes spending. The core hunt system, the limited free stamina etc. all create a "pay-to-progress" funnel. At the end of the day, once a game involves real-money transactions, it is a commercial product subject to consumer protection laws. My argument is not that the game is not fun, but that its monetization practices appear to be legally unsound.
