As it turned out, the gacha mechanic from mobile games is a massive killer wherever it's used. Many say it's gambling, but this isn't quite accurate because it's far more terrifying than gambling. After all, most people know that with gambling, the odds are overwhelmingly against you, and many end up losing everything they have. Knowing this, the vast majority of ordinary people will steer clear of gambling.
But gacha is different. Every time you finish a ten-pull without getting anything, a voice in your head will say—next time I'll definitely get something. And then, you can't eat or sleep, unknowingly opening the red-green mod...Oh my god, my phone is auto-charging money!
The horror of this mechanism lies in its targeted exploitation of human desires and vulnerabilities, and the rosy delusion of "how could I possibly be one of the Unlucky people".
Then, if you equip the mobile game's gacha mechanic with Pinduoduo's headcount model, it becomes a final blow!
