As someone who has been really hooked into gatcha (I counted 9 hours yesterday) this is honestly true. It's very personally rewarding as compared to Twitter (if a massive time waste).
Are there many games that will let you gatcha for that long without dumping money into them?
Most gatcha want about a hour of your time to two hours a day, you can extend that to about 3-5 hours with energy packs which you can stock up on. Most free to play gatcha players also play more than one gatcha game. Personally I play F:GO and Arknights alternating primary depending on if a event is running.
