I don’t think so, no. At least nothing I’ve noticed, but they’re also not being any better than any other gacha game, either.

Yes. They are bigger. It sends a message to the entire predatory ecosystem. Which would not happen if they went for a smaller Gacha game.

Other than that, no, let’s give them fines too.
