By that logic all games with any random component is gambling… which would include pretty much every game ever published. If Diablo isn’t gambling, then neither is genshin.
If player characters in Diablo were locked inside a digital slot machine that you could pay real money to spin, and players were heavily incentivized to do so because you can’t reasonably expect to get all of the best characters without spending a bunch of real life money on spins, you would have a point.
You should really try to seek out other viewpoints. Literally every discussion about this topic overwhelmingly agrees that gacha games are gambling.
That’s not an accurate summary of what I said. Being factually correct isn’t being part of a hive mind lmfao
You’re sitting here arguing that 2+2 actually doesn’t equal 4, and I’m done trying to explain that it does. Please learn to read past a kindergarten level someday
You literally said I wasn’t correct because a majority of people hold a different viewpoint, and that I should get out of a non-existent echo chamber so I conform to the majority viewpoint.
If you don’t understand why your last paragraph is stupid, I don’t think you should have kids or care about what happens to kids.
I didn’t say anything about an echo chamber dude, try again. Maybe try responding to the first paragraph about player characters being locked behind a digital slot machine that you can pay real money to spin.
Because that’s stupid, the point of a slot machine from the players perspective isn’t colors moving, which is the only common theme between the two.
It’s like saying a horse is a tree because they’re both brown.
All video games contain a random element, and a lot of video games since Diablo have random reward elements, and fucking happy meals aren’t considered gambling so lootboxes aren’t gambling, so your allusion fails.

“You’re not part of the hivemind so go seek out more people that agree with me until you are” is a wild statement.

“You should really try to seek out other viewpoints” suggests I haven’t… what is an echo chamber, young one?
You still haven’t responded to the part about the real money slot machine
Almost like you know you’re full of shit
