RE: With Gachas Being Banned, How Will Future KittyCatS! Be Released?
Considering breedables are a HUGE part of LL's cash flow, I doubt they'll make any large changes. My expectation would be that a one-per-customer, randonly chosen, rule and leaving the rest up to the player-to-player aftermarket would be where they end up.
The problem I always had with Gacha sales is that you depended upon the seller actually putting the 'rare' in the sales box. I have a feeling that, too often, they didn't. And many of the boxes were designed to make it impossible to check.
Charm's problem was that a number of times the "rare" was "junk". Her example to was that she'd bought a few to get the "rare" house she wanted and when she rezzed it, it didn't work. Missing parts, bad textures, and missing scripts.
ETA I don't see the actual breeding randomness as a problem is, at least for well-written products like KittyCats, the effects of randomness can be limited, even eliminated. For KittyCats, the only issues would be the starters, especially the special collections. Some breedables (I'm thinking of one in particular) are so badly done, I've always maintained they were simply ganbling systems and should always have been banned. I've even reported a couple, with statistical analysis to show they are pure random gambling, no matter what handwaving the original designed made. Those, I'd love to see simply banned.
