It’s a free-to-play mobile gacha game. Therefore, it is trash. That point simply cannot be argued. It’s not up for debate. If you’re here to debate that point, please don’t even bother. All mobile games are trash. All free-to-play games are trash. All gacha games are trash. Again: there is no debate about that.

Having gotten that out of the way: why are so many people under the false impression that this SPECIFIC trash game is somehow more than trash?

Does it have particularly sexy anime girls? Particularly sexy anime prettyboys? Cool mechs or something? Does it very sadly contain core elements of gameplay that would be fun in a non-trash setting?

Help me out, here.

    No one you’re arguing with has been as wrong as comparing playing mobile games to supporting slavery. You’re definitely on the cartoonish end of being wrong

      I see what you’re saying. It just gets to me, the fact that their starting point was basically “morals and ethics don’t exist. Everything is just personal preference.”

      At that point, it’s like I’m compelled to give SOME KIND OF EXAMPLE of what a morally wrong thing might be.

        Morals aren’t relevant when you’re talking about if a game is fun or not, though. And the game being fun (if it is - I’ve never even heard of it) is why people play. Your first post was a whole lot of high horsin that made your question seem rhetorical. Like you just wanted to rant and didn’t actually care that people find the game fun to play
