Why Are Most Gacha Games Terrible Games?

"Gacha games are good despite being gachas" is a take I've heard before. Which means that all gacha games are inherently bad games. But some are able to be good despite that. And straight up, I agree. I think that all the popular ones, Arknights, Limbus Company, Punishing Gray Raven, Genshin Impact, Fate Grand Order, etc, would be better if they weren't a gacha game. And this video breaks down why that's the case and will also prolly anger a lot of gacha game players...

Also my friend Dino Dave helped me out with some ideas for this video. Such as the disconnect between game play and story and how that's a flaw for Gacha's.
