The Dark Downsides of Gacha Mobile Games and Gaming as a Service

September 10, 2020 by Chikorita157 4 Comments
Artist: 千石千鵆

It’s not a big surprise that anime fans tend to play Japanese mobile games that has a gacha element. In some cases, you probably saved a lot of free in game premium currency to roll for your favorite character. Others probably spent a lot of money in order to get the character they want in the game.

However, not everything is forever, especially in gacha games. The big downside of these games is that unless it’s successful, as in bring in a lot of money, the game won’t last long. In other words, you will lose all your progress and money spent in the game.

Believe it or this, this is not too uncommon, especially with localized mobile gacha game releases. This can really upset a lot of people as seen when Aniplex USA decided to pull the plug on the English version of Magia Record. Yes, I was livid about it, but apparently the franchise isn’t popular enough compared to popular franchises such as Fate Grand Order.

Since I spent money on monthly passes, this announcement really left a bad taste towards mobile gacha games or the whole games as a service thing. The question is, do you really own anything in these games? The answer is obviously no. Since I am salty about this a few weeks after the announcement, I want to share my thoughts on the dark side of Games as a Service.

Note: An audio version of this post is now available.

Happy 31st Birthday

August 9, 2020 by Chikorita157 7 Comments
Artst: 高坂のばく

As expected, time flies by so quickly. Now, I finally turn 31 years old. I have to admit, by 30th year was definitely a year of redemption. Yes, last fall, I finally received that job offer for a different federal IT job and the rest is history. So far, I find my new job a lot better than my first job since it’s closer to what I want to do and such. Also, my health improved, especially now that I lost close to 20 pounds and going back into the healthy weight range.

Of course, the whole Covid19 pandemic has affected my plans on what I wanted to do. Moreover, the whole pandemic gotten worse in the United States due to gross mismanagement from an obvious leader of ours. Not only that, this kind of impacted anime releases as well due to the pandemic. It brought some challenges of my flogging motivation to blog and lack of the titles to cover. Hopefully we will overcome the challenges.

As mentioned earlier, my blog’s domain finally turns 10 years old in two days. It took about a year and a half of not having one to eventually obtain one. Either way, it shows how far we come in the longevity of my anime blogging career.

While this birthday post is short, I just want to thank all my readers, followers, and people who comment on my blog for supporting me for these years. Let’s make the next year a great one, hopefully once the Covid19 pandemic is finally under control. Also, feel free to say Happy Birthday in the comments below.
