To all who debate the reason why LL decided to ban gacha's.
It does not matter. Whether they prayed for divine guidance, used an AI or an Ouija board, had lots of meetings with their legal and/or PR team, tossed a coin or went on a weeklong drug and booze bender: it does not matter. As long as their rules don't break laws regarding illegal discrimination, consumer protection and such there is little they can't put in the rules for their world. They made their decision and if you read between the lines, there is nothing we can do that will change their mind.
To all who think they can work around the ban somehow.
Again reading between the lines makes it clear what LL wants to accomplish here. They only want gacha-style vendors gone. Period. They don't want the ban to affect other things such as games, subscription boxes or breedables. They just want gacha vendors gone. Now I tend to love playing devil's advocate and find and exploit all those fun loopholes but in this case it's totally counter-productive. No matter what we think of, it's going to take much less time and effort to add extra rules to ban then it will take us to make a loophole exploiting new script. And there is generally a section in the TOS that can be used to bring the hammer done on someone who really starts to annoy them.
So focus your time and energy on something more useful: how are you going to support the creators you claim to value so much.
