please don't take this as genshin impact hate, but the gacha aspect of the game can be potentially dangerous, and i'm concerned abt this after seeing posts from folks grieving over pulls. i encourage y'all to step away from the game if it affects your mental health that badly.
It is very easy for people to cultivate a gambling addiction via gacha games. Some aspects of it are predatory & DESIGNED to pull in ppl with gambling addictions. Seeing it foster addictions in people, INCLUDING underage kids, is worrisome.
it's okay to be upset, and it's your choice if you want save up/invest into a game like this, but do not go broke over anime characters. If your money spending habits aren't good do not play gacha games, or at least have someone help you take accountability if you do play them.
Here's an article from someone who played the game and talks about how easy it was for him to spend $130 on a game and have almost nothing to show for it https://www.washingtonpost.com/video-games/2020/10/06/genshin-impact-gambling/
I'm speaking as someone who has dropped a little over $60 in total on some loot boxes for Overwatch skins & voicelines. It may not be a lot for some people but it adds up over time!
ppl are assuming that because I don't have an anime pfp I've never played genshin...y'all I've PLAYED it I've seen their gacha system
Anyways, this tweet sums up everything quite clearly and concisely for anyone hurt about everyone tweeting warnings about gachas https://twitter.com/alchemivichi/status/1357397128721559552?s=19
