Gambling addiction is a serious problem that destroys lives. We should not be exposing kids to things with strong addiction potential. If you'd like a concrete example, here's a guy who realized he had a problem after dropping $15k and decided he needed professional help to quit: https://www.reddit.com/r/gachagaming/comments/b2fopn/i_spent_15000_usd_on_gacha_games_i_got/ https://www.reddit.com/r/gachagaming/comments/b2fopn/i_spent... After someone close to him died, he went back to it: https://www.reddit.com/r/gachagaming/comments/p3qxfr/gacha_pulled_me_back_in_after_2_years_15000_wasted/ https://www.reddit.com/r/gachagaming/comments/p3qxfr/gacha_p... If you'd like more, there's plenty out there about the harms of gambling addiction. One can argue that adults should be able to ruin their lives as they please, but I think there's no excuse for letting adults exploit children in ways that can create lifelong harm.

The point about gaming addiction in kids is fair. But it's also off-topic. The discussion isn't about whether gatcha should be allowed. It's about the gatcha supposedly ruining the game's quality or enjoyment thereof, which is a completely different topic. Also, not only kids play games.

  It's not off topic. The topic is Genshin Impact. You can't just say, "The topic is the parts I like and not the parts I don't like, so stop talking about them." That's not how a conversation works.
