This gambling mechanic and confusing jargon is far from unique to "Genshin Impact" or even gacha games. Loot boxes and gambling mechanics are the subject of legislative action in Europe and Asia. Activision Blizzard's popular "Overwatch" is probably the most mainstream Western example of implementing gambling into the game. And yes, Activision and "Overwatch" defenders will say that its "just cosmetic," but it's a fact that cosmetics can enhance a player's experience, depending on what they're looking for. Even if it's just an alternate look for Mercy, "Overwatch" puts a lot of work into alternate costumes to make them enticing.
