For what it's worth, the Hoyo "loot boxes" are quite fair because of the pity system:

Every 10 pulls you'll get one if the featured 4* characters
Within 90 pulls you're guaranteed to get a 5* (though you'll almost certainly get it between 74-80 pulls)
When you get a 5*, there's a 50% chance of getting the featured character
If you lose the 50/50, the next 5* will be the featured character.
The pity system persists through each banner.

Each patch, free players will have enough resources to guarantee one of the featured characters and their signature weapon (provided they do their daily tasks and clear the content).

I've been playing Star Rail since launch, never purchased any premium currency. It's certainly the fairest form of gacha I've seen.

It kinda sucks that Hoyo is being targeted, when the system is so transparent and forgiving. There are MUCH more predatory systems out there.

Dead or Alive publisher requests between 2,000 and 3,000 takedowns on works of inappropriate fan art annually because it thinks of the game's characters 'like daughters' in c/pcgaming@lemmy.ca

Not to mention the pedo-bait character, Marie Rose.

But what if I want to play a Japanese man in the Japanese Assassins Creed game?

The problem I have with having Yasuke as a main character is as follows:

Assassins Creed at its core has always been about exploring cultures through their most iconic time period, from the perspective of a person from that culture, with an exception of AC3, where the main character's mother was Native American and father was white, but done so to explore the history around colonialism.

I welcome the idea of an Assassins Creed game within central Africa with an African man/woman as its lead, but I think we can all intuitively understand how wrong it would be to give one of the leading roles to a white character.
