I'm assuming the element of randomization in breedable traits is still allowed?
According to Patch Linden, yes it is still considered to be a Gacha. Here’s a quote from Patch, “It is the act of paying for something and in return the item/thing you receive back is based on chance. The level of chance does not matter, or if you disclose it, including the ratios, percentages, etc, if the output is unknown (chance based in any way), that combination of mechanisms is what will be prohibited moving forward.”
