Are you kidding me? The fact that you could see other people get the BIG or RARE things is a massive factor in people buying them themselves. Twitch is by far the biggest and best place to show off those fat loots so that your target audience sees it on their favorite streamer and clamors to buy it themselves.

You don't feel the need to get something if you never see it. And Twitch is the biggest window into what you could be getting.

There was a time where if my favorite Hearthstone streamers were stomping with a deck that I didn't have the cards for, I'd log in and buy packs to hope to either get the cards, or enough dust to make them. You'd be crazy to not think Twitched fueled that fire.

I mean all of this happens literally by just playing the games, where they always advertise the newest gacha pull banner with the newest characters/cards/whatever as soon as you boot it up. Gacha is pretty much gambling, which appeals to the most basic human nature of "I want that," then entices you by making you think you could get it.

You sound super biased. Trying to blame gacha of all things on Twitch is asinine.
