gacha games, dragalia lost 

Some friends convinced me to pick this up because dragons and because Monster Hunter event, and I am... confused by its business model.

Typically, gacha games are either pay-to-win or have a window where they give you lots of free currency, then slowly shut off the spigot to convert to real money. This one seems to have severe balance issues in favor of the player, especially during events -- meaning I'm now deep in the endgame in a week without paying any real money.

The biggest one is the game will happily play itself, looping the same quest as many times as I'd like. And since quests and daily rewards give vastly too much free currency, and the payouts for the Monster Hunter event are enormous, it's infinite for as long as I'm willing to leave my phone on its charger.

Which is... not what I expected, really!

Also, the game's dragons and beasties are adorable, and I want to hug most of them.

Yep... I haven't spent a dime on it... and I actually enjoy it!
