weirded out by the complaints about re-runs and the gacha system

i dont want to invalidate anyone's feelings or opinions towards the gacha system in lads, but i just wanted to rant a bit about all this discourse (I'm open to any discussion).

but i find it weird to have so many complain about the gacha and the greediness of this game. as someone who played tears of themis (made by mihoyo), lads is like heaven compared to it, the grinding in that game was even worse (and I felt like the pity in that game was just horrendous).

re-runs are normal in every gacha game, and there always usually one year after the initial banner release and will re-run every year after that. seeing people call infold greedy is so funny, because this is such a normal thing. i have been f2p for all my gacha games aside from lads (b/c i want to support the game devs), and its hard to be f2p for the majority of the popular gacha games (i had to skip banners and pray to get the characters i wanted).

but at the same time, the base game is free, you get all the features aside from the special card/character. the game has to fund itself, and with lads using 3d modelling that's even more expensive. i feel like people forget how expensive it is to run a game (especially in the current inflation era). but i do agree that some of the shop things are horrible like the outfit costs.

tdlr: what infold is doing for its game is a normal occurrence in every gacha game. all gacha games have horrible pity and grinding gets difficult once you're at a high level in the game (especially for f2p).
