Gatch

Gatch (or gatcha) is a breed of video game that adapts and virtualizes the physical gacha (capsule-toy vending machine) mechanic, i.e. greedy and manipulative pay-to-win. In the monetization of video games, it is similar to loot box, inducing players to spend money. Most of these games are free-to-play mobile games. In gacha games, players spend virtual currency, which can be from a machine; however real money is usually eventually spent to obtain the virtual currency and opportunities to use it.

I love gatch games as they not only waste my time and phone battery but ultimately my money. Gambling has evolved.
