Gatcha is un-Gatcha-ing itself, and you're black-pilling?
Duet Night Abyss decided they will only have Gatcha elements on cosmetics, and even that can be crafted F2P if you grind enough.
Could be a flash in the pan, or it could be a new trend, seeing how light on monetization Genshin is, and they're raking in well over a billion, with a 200M investment, EVERY YEAR since it launched.
I don't like the twink sci-fi aesthetics, and much prefer the Heavy Metal, crush a man into paste sized gears of 80's sci-fi, but I might give it a try anyway.

@coded_artist this is how PSO2 has always been. scratch tickets for mostly cosmetic items, and basically everything can be purchased and sold in the player shops for in-game currency. it works really well, because you can buy scratch tickets and if you don't get the items you want you can usually sell the ones you don't and then get the ones you wanted from the player shop.
@coded_artist it's less mmo and more like hub-based
@coded_artist if you do ever play it I would recommend playing through the base game's story mode first.
@beardalaxy Looked it up, and it doesn't look half bad.
I might check that out too if I get the MMO itch again.
