"What have I become?! I am now inflicted with Whale Syndrome Stage 1 !"

And so to cope, I am interested on gachas operation and maintenance costs. While sure, almost any $100 spent on this let alone any of their kind is justifiable compared to the slops with the same price, I wonder how much they are spending to keep such game alive. I would start with comparing it with how much does it cost to maintain an MMORPG like WoW.

And yeah, the thumbnail is already a spoiler but I'll put the "proceed at your own discretion" obligatory warning.
