Eh, I just remember the people who managed to get into insane credit card depth because they were addicted to buying all the crap from homeshopping channels back in the day so I'd say it's kinda similar after all.

I feel like that kind of thing was actually way more predatory because they would deliberately obscure the true cost of the items by doing things like saying 'this can be yours for only 5 payments of $19.95!' without ever mentioning that 5 payments of $19.95 is effectively $100. So you'd get people thinking they weren't spending that much because they were only paying $19.95 at a time without ever stopping to look at just how much it cost in total once you put all of those payments together.

At least with stuff like gacha, you're paying the full amount for each charge up front so it's not like you get blindsided by how much you spent in total.

Not until you go back and add up how much you've spent in total on this "free" game.

Realizing that I spent more on a fucking cookie game I just casually dick around in than the cost of multiple AAA games was um. Not my favorite realization.

(Ironically it wasn't even the gacha mechanics that got me, it was the farmville mechanics.)

I meant in the sense that if you buy, say, a $50 pack, you know right up front that you're spending $50. It's not being marketed to you in a way to make it sound deceiving when it comes to how much you're actually paying.
