Ensnared by the Gacha: Magia Record and the Weaponisation of Anxiety anitay.kinja.com

Fate/Grand Order, part of the enormous Fate multimedia behemoth, is a Gacha game run by Aniplex, a subsidiary of Sony Entertainment.
When done well, Gacha games make serious profit and provide consistent, long-lasting entertainment.
My first experience of mobile Gacha games was Kingdom Hearts Unchained on the iPhone.
Like all Gacha games, there were various in-game currencies and interlocking mechanics that took a long time for a new player to understand.
Magia Record is the second anime Gacha game released by Aniplex in the US.
