Long time ago, there is a company named 'Skinnerian Gaming' who invent the
so-called
gacha[+]
mechanism.
People are addictive to this type of game due to their spirit of
adventure and the operant conditioning.
The company earns a lot of profit from it. However, it is not
satisfied anymore...
Gashapon (ガシャポン), also called gachapon (ガチャポン), are
a variety of vending machine-dispensed capsule toys popular in
Japan and elsewhere. "Gashapon" is onomatopoeic from the two
sounds "gasha" (or "gacha") for the hand-cranking action of a
toy-vending machine, and "pon" for the toy capsule landing in
the collection tray. "Gashapon" is used for both the machines
themselves and the toys obtained from them. Popular gashapon
manufacturers include Tomy, which uses the shortened term
gacha (ガチャ gacha) for their capsule machines, and Kaiyodo.
In the United States, "Gashapon" is a registered trademark of
the Bandai Company,[1] and gashapon are generally referred to
as blind box sets. The gashapon model has been adapted
digitally into numerous gacha video games such as mobile phone
games and massively multiplayer online games (MMOs).
