According to your first message, the main idea was not quite clear. I agree here too. Roulette is disappointing
You may think you’re a righteous gamer or customer, but what you’re saying right now is just a naive attempt to control a company’s business model at this moment.
First of all, the fact that the game is free is undeniably a plus. However, many users were worried because past survival games have shown just how low the quality can drop when they are free. In contrast, this game demonstrates such a high level of polish that it wouldn’t be surprising if it were sold at a premium price. The in-game purchases are minimal, and especially it's allowing players to progress through the main story without spending ANY MONEY.
Of course, the store does sell various items like battle passes for real money, but none of them impact player stats. Most items are cosmetic, such as character skins, weapon skins, building parts, and some bonuses for specific currencies or rewards.
However, I'm aware of that if you intend to purchase skins, the relatively high prices might be a drawback. The most expensive transparent glass building set costs around 50 $, while themed café sets and some furniture sets are priced at 15 to 21$, and character skins can exceed 20~22$. Nevertheless, considering the prices of full-price games that often include micro-transactions on Steam, the total cost of in-game purchases is not significantly different. For players who are not interested in skins, the value for money is overwhelmingly good.
One aspect that divides opinion in this business model is the ability to change character appearance and nicknames, which requires purchasing a ticket. In a paid package game, players have already paid for all the services provided, so it would be expected to change these for free unless it’s a DLC. Yet, here, as in many partially paid RPG games, you need to spend money to make those changes.
On August, 2024, an update introduced the Lightforge Treasure Chest, yeah, THE gacha system that you're constantly screaming about. This included the Fire Trap Rush motorcycle skin, Phantom Skull costume skin, and the Flame of the Beginner gun skin, as well as new backpack and furniture skins. This new gacha system is very similar to the existing one and has a cap on its mechanics. It has attracted players, though opinions on the three main types of skins, especially the motorcycle skin, are divided. In contrast, the more commonly obtained backpack and chest skins have received positive feedback.
If Once Human ever begins to sell stuffs such as 'New Legendary Gun Draft' that has a skill to melt any bosses down easily, but you can only get it from the loot box, then I will vote for you, I would hold your beer, no, I will even buy all of your beers, loot-box complainers.
