Phoenix3875@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Almost 19% of Japanese people in their 20s have spent so much money on gacha they struggled with covering living expenses, survey reveals - AUTOMATON WESTEnglish16·2 months agoYes. It’s from the coin machine that sells a random toy in capsule. Gacha is the clicking sound that machine makes when you turn the button to get a capsule.
