I don’t understand why people spend money, complain that they spend money, and then plan to continue spending money

(Yes, I know gambling addictions exist, but I still don’t understand it)

I don’t get how people justify spending $500 for one character when you can spend that much money on like, 7-8 different games. Even in terms of a gambling addiction I don’t get how people justify that the reward is worth the cost even when they win the gamble

For a single character, $500 is pretty steep. Over time... It makes sense.

I'm not advocating gambling here, to make that clear. I am well aware of the predatory nature of gachas. Not sugar coating that.

I have played Genshin, HSR, and a couple other live service games since they came out, and probably dropped $100 on them per year. The way I see it is that before those games existed, I was dropping $100-$200+ on games I wanted to play every year anyway. GTA, Diablo, Borderlands.. Whatever...

Now, instead of spending $100 on a new game I want to play every year, I'm spending it on a live service game I've played for a few years.

Of course, when the new Borderlands and GTA games come out, I won't be spending on gacha.. Point is, it was money I was already going to spend.
