This, straight up. It's okay to completely hate Gacha and their mechanics, but what you do have to realize is that this is the devs, and by extention Nexon, recognizing that people who like more risque content are a geniune market force. Gacha is a low investment and high profit market, I'd go as far as to say that it's the only market in publishers would bother to take a risk in the first place and create two seperate clients to keep updated. I won't even say 'just don't throw money at it' in this situation, if you play Blue Archive and can afford to do so, then you absolutely should consider tossing like five dollars for a gacha roll or a skin or whatever. Whether you like it or not, this is where we can make our stand. This is our foothold. And if they see a positive return on this, they will take notice, as will other heads in the industry.
We don't have a direct line to the ears of companies, so when the localizer crowd suggests that they tone things down during the development cycle in order to appeal to an 'international audience' they tend to trust them on face value; theirs is the only voice they're hearing, after all. But we do have a line on their bank accounts, and that speaks volumes louder. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, take the ball and run with it.
I know that lolicons love to whine, but this is simply self-destructive.
