One grift I've noticed with sponsored gacha streams is how the streamer always have exceptionally amazing luck. They always manage to pull a top-tier character very quickly, and then they spend the whole stream showing it off.
This kind of behavior is beyond predatory and should really be illegal, because it's obvious that the streamer is playing with far better odds than regular people.
Heck, if you want to keep it legal that's probably fine as well, but at least require clear disclosure when the streamer is getting improved drop rates.
- wiseleo 3y agoThere are many salty streams where the streamer does not get what he wants. Having done some gacha pulls and received what I wanted on the first pull with 0.07% odds, it truly is random. One card I have took... let's just say a lot of money... to get. Characters are available for a limited time and then may or may not ever return. For example, the rare character Fujino in FGO could be summoned in 2020, then there was no idea whether she would ever return. It turns out she did return in 2021 and 2022, but her next projected availability is in 2027. I am not saying that the streamer you referred to does not receive preferential treatment, but FGO streams are definitely random.
