Love the "What is your favourite region in Genshin" poll at the bottom of the article.

Good, fuck gacha mechanics (saying this as a Genshin player lol.) A guaranteed 5* character costs 400 USD. (Would be ~356, but they don't let you buy exactly that much virtual currency.)

Cost of doing business.

Ban the entire business model.

Really thrilled to see how this gonna work, as an genshin player FTC is totally right they succefully banned loot boxes from gaming for a lot less then gacha.
