In the world of mobile video games, few combinations are as controversial as the fans of waifus and the gacha elements of these titles that try to manipulate them. This time, Goddess of Victory: Nikke is at the center of the controversy after the latest update called “Bunny x 777 Event” This introduced several adorable bunny costumes for the game’s characters, but one in particular caused the anger of the fans for costing around 60 dollars.
The bunny costume of Rupee that infuriated NIKKE players
This attractive bunny costume of the popular character Rupee, known as “The Luxury Bunny Costume Gacha” is not easy to get. You can only get it if you spin the wheel with the premium currency, which charges around 10 dollars for 6 tickets. This is already a very high price, but, if you are lucky, maybe you can get it with that. Possibly you even get it with one of the few free shots that NIKKE offers. But the gacha is never so merciful: If you are unlucky, you will have to keep using tickets to spin the wheel, and you could end up spending more than 60 dollars on this costume.
This is how the predatory monetization mode of these mobile games works: NIKKE catches your attention with an attractive version of a character that they know will become popular among fans. So they take the liberty of offering it at a high price, knowing that the most desperate fans will give a lot of money to get it. This is unacceptable, and luckily most NIKKE fans are already complaining on social media.
This is a frustrating model, and NIKKE players know they deserve something better. Twitter user @Karres23 summed it up perfectly: “This is crazy. In the past, it was 20 dollars for a costume. Now it’s 10 dollars for 6 tickets that potentially give you the jackpot (…) I love this game, but this is the biggest money grab I’ve ever seen, and I don’t like it at all. Do better things”. It is safe to say that other fans feel the same way.
60 dollars is a lot of money. That’s what a “Triple A” video game for modern consoles usually costs. For that amount, you could be enjoying high-quality experiences, such as Resident Evil 4 Remake or Star Wars Jedi: Survivor . We recommend that you don’t spend so much money on this, or risk trying your luck. No matter how much you like bunnies, Rupee’s character or Goddess of Victory: NIKKE in general. You can always look for pictures of her and other waifus with attractive outfits on the internet, and it will be free.
