It doesn't matter because they're gachas, therefore, bad

I held off from posting that video because it will attract salty LW players, something that I had no desire when I was at like 40+ subscribers. But now, since there's already a huge gap in my videos and I made my distaste for Touhou LostWord _VERY MUCH_ clear, I figured that bite-sized video won't hurt. Overall while LW is objectively a better game, I enjoy BotC more because let's face it - *LostWord is just a huge waifu/nostalgia bait.*

And I'm not speaking as of "grrrrr this is why I hate video games it appeals to male fantasy ⟩:(" - I like waifus, I'm a big degenerate who watches hentai from time to time - but I don't feel like being explicitly marketed towards, especially in the game that at first glance doesn't have those elements (and it's damn effective, I fell for that trap too). While I could elaborate on that particular criticism of mine - but I feel like this could or could not become a video of mine since the other critique videos seem to be lacking in my eyes either due to obliviousness or a general consensus that "gacha=bad" - which doesn't really outline the big issues with this game specifically (the closest critique video that actually conveyed my concerns was Aajohans' video, who is the reason why I started to somewhat appreciate the existence of LW because the gameplay is much more deeper than I thought, though it still makes me miserable). Overall I don't respect this game and what it's doing, but I still somewhat appreciate its existence since it did introduce new people to Touhou project since fandom was kinda dying back then - and it did hit the demographic I fit in - those old nostalgia-addicts who finally got to see PC-98 represented and being fair - I like the idea behind A-type universes since they're an interepretations of OG sprites and that is something I'm genuienly ecstatic about (though what they're doing with it now: A6 Sunny Milk, Beta Protagonists alongside Retail Protagonists and possibly A6 Yukari - I don't approve at ALL).

And a bit of an angry tangent here: I fucking hate it when new-wave gamers call games with rougelike/rougelite elements - gacha games. Those are two different things. Gacha is basically gambling in lighter words, while rouge-games are more of a clusterfuck-y experience that are individual to every person playing them. I know this is meant to be a joke, but I don't find it funny aaaaaaaa
