Does STO count as a Gacha?
I know it has random chances and Pay to Win Purchases. Those are kid of the same as Gacha right?

That's why I only play gachas like:
1st year and 5th year: "She's literally my waifu, I will roll" (Genshin, never roll guys, guys)
1st year and 10th year: "She's literally my daughter, I will get her in the event" (KanColle)

I have a big family.

It even has the thing about how lots of gachas resort to being sexier and sexier as time goes on.

I've never played a GACHA because the thought of "you will own nothing and be happy" with such online games bothers me. I'm old school and like to own a physical copy that will still work, even when the servers get turned off. That being said, I do purchase the Genshin Impact soundtacks off iTunes.
