Gachas have trash rares too, so.

I'm still surprised that a term (specifically the term "gacha") only arose to describe this recently, considering that this style of randomization has been present for decades.

It's not a mechanic that's been around for decades though.

Loot crates in TF2 were one of the first instances of paid randomised loot in video games, and were introduced in September 2010. Puzzle and Dragons, which popularised gacha mechanics in mobile games, and the term gacha in reference to them, was released in February 2012.

Isn't that basically every TCG that sells ypu booster packs?

Magic was the first one of those!

Alduin · 2017-08-23 15:47:40

Magic was the first TCG that sold you booster packs because Magic was the first TCG ever.

DYRE · 2017-08-23 16:04:05

Fwiw as far as "gacha" specifically, Maplestory had its gachapon (as in specifically called that + the randomized stuff mechanic) cash shop stuff since at least 2009.

Though of course that's still not even one decade let alone multiple.

I was referring to TCG booster packs. Not a vg microtransaction thing, but still.

oh ok

i thought you were resppnding to something i did

If someone comes into your house, and you say "this is the dog", they generally would assume it's only your dog. If you say "this is the local dog", then they know that that means other members of the broader community have access to it (someone might say this jokingly to imply the dog just happens to be there rather than actually belonging to them).

Calica · 2017-08-24 03:55:42

if you say "this is the local dog", then they know that that means the dog has a unique maximal ideal

Tatterhood · 2017-08-24 03:57:35
