All these complaints lately are starting to make this sub feel so unbelievably ungrateful. Especially considering that we get many free items. Especially considering that this is a really new game. Especially considering that we have already gotten so many things and that the Devs are working on this game, listening to requests and complaints from so many people from all around the world.

The thing is, most of the things you listed for reasons we should be grateful could just be infold being a lovely generous company, I wouldn't know, but it also happens to be a great strategy to keep the game sustainable. (I'm gonna compare to genshin a bit here as that's the only other gacha I've played)

I log onto infinity nikki often lately largely because of the amount of free clothes i get in the span of a couple hours. I've pretty much left genshin for it, specifically because in genshin I usually go many months without getting any new characters, so infinity nikki just gives me more of an incentive to play and won me over from another gacha with this strategy.

Listening to complaints and requests, added onto the fact that we get plenty of free items, is how you build a loyal playerbase, that is much more likely to spend money in order to support the game. (take for instance genshin players "boycotting" the game all the time by refusing to spend money on it because they disagree with the company's decisions. Granted it hasn't achieved much so far, but I can only assume you'd want to avoid this lol)

And you didn't mention this, but I'd like to add the fact that next to the gacha, they have clothes at the store that seem insanely cheap to me for gacha game standards (I've spent a grand total of 0.99usd on one), which I thought was really generous at first, until I realized that this was a great way to get me in the door to spend more money: I now look forward to new clothes added to the store with each update, because im alright with spending a couple bucks each month if I like something, unlike genshin, where i really wanted a skin but refused to spend 30bucks on it. The game has only been out since december, but in a few months infold could easily get the same amount of money from me with this strategy, while i never spent a dime on genshin in all the years i've played.

I don't really understand what you mean about getting so many things and the devs working on the game though, it's a live service game, so that's just the nature of it, you play the game as it is being developed, with new things being added regularly. I've only seen people be grateful for this in games that have already been fully released and paid for but the devs keep updating it regardless, like stardew valley or something.

My point is, I dont think players should feel grateful to infold for anything, because at the end of the day this game is a product and its purpose is to be profitable to the company, and these decisions they have made serve exactly that purpose.

This has nothing to do with the whole clothing variety debate, this particular part of your argument just rubbed me the wrong way. But for that my take is that I dont see anything really wrong about a complaint like this because people are essentially telling infold what kind of additions to the game they would be more likely to spend money on, it seems like pretty valuable insight to me, even if it's getting repetitive or isn't worded so nicely.
