Capcom Avoids Gacha Monetization Methods to Preserve ?Healthy Development of Youth?



 Capcom President and COO Haruhiro Tsujimoto, specified in a recent investor report that, as a ?general rule,? the company likes to ?refrain? from implementing gacha mechanics in its games. This is said to be in aid of abating any ?social concern? surrounding randomized forms of monetization in video gaming, specifically with regards to the ?healthy development of youth.?
This particular issue has seen a lot of heated debate in recent times, with the morality and potential legality of mechanics like gacha and loot boxes being discussed in many different governments.
