Every f2p gacha player is intended to either turn into a real money transaction or meant to lead somebody else to a real money transaction. The payment comes either from the player directly or somebody else who plays directly or indirectly because of them.
LittleKuribohI really don’t judge you for it, but if you reply to my posts about Hoyo using AI saying “well good thing I’m f2p and my playing is just a drain on their servers” This is like saying that watching a tv show and not buying the DVD is a form of protest. You’re not hurting them by doing it.
