Every Gacha Is Copying Limbus. Nobody Will Admit It

Over the last year, every gacha community celebrated the same things. An anniversary that finally felt generous. A banner that removed the coin flip. A developer who actually apologized. And every time, people said: finally, a studio that gets it. Here's what nobody said. One game did all of it first. Years ago. And the entire industry has been quietly copying it ever since without ever saying its name. This video isn't about why that game is great. It's about why the industry will copy the parts that look good in a trailer — and refuse to copy the part that actually matters. The shard system. Guaranteed characters. No mandatory gambling. The thing that proves player-first design is possible AND profitable — and gets ignored anyway. Because admitting it works would mean admitting every other studio is choosing not to do it.
