The gacha mechanic has been described as «immoral.»
A young gamer, with approval from his parents, is suing Nintendo over Mario Kart Tour’s gacha or loot box mechanics, where a player would receive random items from the Spotlight Shop.
Essentially, the plaintiff (who spent $170 on Mario Kart Tour via his father’s credit card) argues that Nintendo intentionally made the game difficult to proceed without paying, reinforced behaviours like gambling and introduced those behaviours to minors.
