Pregnancy is a gacha lol

Since Gacha stems from Gashapon vending machines (source - Wiki Gacha, I feel like medium purists should stick to vending machines only.

I was going to say roguelikes aren't a gacha because you usually don't gamble with real money in them, but buying rougelikes can be a gatcha if you don't know if you'll buy a good game.

Claude's a gatcha.

Will you get the rare following instructions loot or the deletes-your-whole-prod-environment loot that you already have 10 of?

Pregnancy is a gatcha

Bold of you to assume that my offspring would be useful in some way.

For etymology purists, "gacha" is the sound made by the hand-crank on a vending machine.

Great now im fantasising about what a Moulin Rougelike would look like

Lego blind bag is a Gatcha.

I feel called out.

Every pull should cost money, which disqualifies most roguelikes. Pregnancy is still a gatcha though, especially if you're recycling for free pulls.

All 9 of these should be illegal.

I love this format

Pregnancy is the gotcha gatcha.

I found that I naturally developed a sense for a specific type of gacha. I was watching a preview for this new game that I'm forgetting the name of, something about oddities, and I noticed the combat flow which threw up a small flag, then I saw the parry tell animation, then I saw the three characters, swap between, and ultimate animations. Altogether it immediately registered as gacha, went to steam and saw "free to play."

...damnit, now I have another gacha to play lol
