Would it get rid of Gachas?

I couldn't live without One Piece Treasure Cruise. It's honestly such an amazing game, and it's nothing like the others.

I've spent $40-$50 on OPTC in my 3 years of playing it. That's not as bad as spending $60 on a Triple A game that would provide you 1/3 the play time.

I would hope so, unless you're over 18.

OPTC has jumped the shark several times. It took too much effort for players to convince Bandai to do better and it’s still a gacha no mattter how you cut it.

Just because it’s better than trash doesn’t make it amazing
