It's the sound that vending machines make. Then it became an entire genre.

Gambling for pngs

Asian lootboxes.

Gacha is objectively a scam, it's a great reset-style "you will own nothing" scheme that sucks money out of your wallet in perpetuity and leaves you with nothing to show for it when the servers shut down. it's a predatory business model built on exploiting the mentally ill. anyone who shills for it should be ashamed of themselves.

ok

what is it though

NFTs in vidya form

It's like a gumball machine, but instead of a gumball you get an anime character out of a random selection

Gambling with no reward. You put in money, the game gives you a jpg (sometimes the one you wanted, most of the time not) and your money is gone.

It's derived from the sound of turning the crank on these.

GATCHA NOSE NIGGA HA!

MODS!

Comes from japanese capsule toy vending machines. The sign on the machine says what toys are available and buying a capsule gets you a random one. Some are way more rare than others, so collectors spend lots of money and get lots of duplicates of common toys. Gacha video games use the same premise. They make lots of characters with different powers and encourage players to collect them all, but you cant directly acquire the ones you want. You have to spend resources for more "pulls" on the game's lottery.

so they're RPGs?

Or gambling for plastic capsule toys.

A gacha is when you come up behind a man, and grab his dick. "Gacha!"

Most are RPGs, and with different battle systems. You pull on the gacha to get particular characters with skills you want, usually rarer are stronfer. There's a few racing games too where you pull for cars.

Most of the time yes, but it can work with just about any game genre. It's more of a style of monetization if anything.

Gacha refers to games that encourage collecting stuff (characters, cars, weapons) and has the only way to aquire it to roll on the game's random gacha. FOMO makes people pay real money for more rolls to get the results they want.

Magnificent!
