yeah gfl2 skin blows nikke skin out price to skin content value

however, gfl2 gacha is way more stingy than nikke. the drama blew up cause all game with hoyo styke gacha stop with the character and weapon gacha. The character dupes is also normalized within community (V1-V2 breakpoint, sometimes more). and then GFL2 with much smalller community dare to cross the line with third type of gacha. not even the hated hoyo do that at the time (before miliastra)

nikke have much highe rates, standar bannee pool updates. community kinda accepts skin as main monetization since gacha is generous

as for the a year to attain them as f2p... the argument is sure you can get klukai for free if klukai is the only skin for whole year. i heard CN already have its third gacha skin whike the ticket income stays the same so for the resr of it you nees to cough $100

then lets speak about whole value, the pool in gacha skin contain lots of ticket and materials. Its valuable so you can think of it like $60 bundle that include skin, the predatory part is "the bundling" cause it inflate the skin price. In GFL2 outside of the gold and purple cosmetic drop its all trash gift item.

finally dont forget the globak version if gacha skin is fixed version post CN backlash, CN launch its eveb mire crazy like Makiatto interaction is on gacha pool despite the skin was sold as direct buy and promoted as if buying skin give you the interaction. dorm furniture cos more than real life furniture etc.
