If it's streamer and influencer types, they're doing this as their job so it's all tax deductible and written off as business expenses. And games silently sponsor them and give them free pulls a lot or pay them back in sponsorship deals.

If it's regular people, the easy answer is addiction, and just like with many other addictions, they get the money by pulling money from other places in their lives that could have used it. Sure, I'm sure some of them are quietly rich and this is their hobby, but what are the chances it's all or most of them?

[(Anonymous)]

This is a genuinely weird thing to be baffled by. I would presume they get their disposable income from their jobs?

When I started playing mobile games, I was unemployed. That meant having plenty of time for 3-4 games because I was pretty much glued to my phone every day but I had no money to spend on them. Now that I'm employed, I have the money but no time at all so I stopped playing gradually. I just hated the FOMO that came with not being able to join a new event as soon as it started and to do dailies every 5 hours.

How some players have both time and money is a mystery to me as well.

As someone who (doesn't post about it, but) lives like this, mostly it's the fact that I work from home full time. So for games on my phone, like Pokemon Masters EX, Colorful Stage, Fire Emblem Heroes, etc, I can just set it to auto play while I do my work. So that leaves me actually only needing to do my dailies on Genshin (and now Zenless Zone Zero, I dropped Star Rail...) which is a lot more manageable. The ability to spend on gacha so freely is really because I can't drink, so I'm never out at bars. I have a ton of disposal income compared to my friends from that single fact alone lol. Otherwise I'm just frugal in other places that matter less to me, like dining out.

A lot of streamers may have people who do the boring grinding for them so they can play multiple games and do the "fun stuff" on camera. For instance, murderofbirds has a friend who will do all the grinding for new 5 stars for him so that when he actually goes to pull them he both hasn't been spoiled yet (because he waits a few days after new content comes out so he can give his followers a chance to play it first) and he already has all the materials to build them right away. I assume other content creators do something similar. And of course since the ones with big audiences are usually doing it as their sole job they can spend a lot of time playing these games one camera and off because...they don't have a day job to go to as well.

And like others said...since being a content creators is their business they can write a lot of that gacha money off as business expenses since it provides them content. Or they get sponsored. Not to mention fans will often gift them gacha currency (I've seen it happen often enough on streams) so they'll pull for characters.

I wondered this a lot when I was actively participating in the kpop fandom.

So many fans who I wondered how they afforded all the merch, VIP packages at all the international concerts/fan meetings.

I see him as a service top. Granted, I only ship him with Bulma. And a virgin before he met Bulma.

[(Anonymous)]

I see him as switch, but he as top obviously has to be better than Kakarot.

TOO SOON

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed. Quite frankly there is no good reason any movie needs to be filmed with real, functional guns nowadays.

[(Anonymous)]

Okay, wow, I didn't notice the guns weren't real! The blood was obviously CGI'd, but I didn't once think the guns were! That's kind of cool!

[(Anonymous)]

They were? What a great idea! It's ridiculous that real guns are ever used on set but especially these days when it's super easy to sub one in. Give everyone a bright orange plastic replica!

[(Anonymous)]

There have been some secrets recently that's got me grimacing at how OP is rough with their secrets. LOL Likely just me being sensitive XD

Like, ToT did you really need to remind me of Brandon Lee like that?
