It was really a matter of time, though, lbr. I am a shipper at heart

Oh, also, despite making gentle fun of Cookie Runners for having ships I've also now developed one in Pomegranate/Millenial Tree solely on the basis that the context of their relationship is kinda fucked up and I'm into that.

Aaaah, all of this rings very true of my experience with SW: Galaxy of Heroes, the only mobile game I really tried to get into (had to quit due to aforementioned vision problems and horrible grind). It came in strong precisely due to my love of SW characters and my desire to have a collection of my all-time-favorites. I'd imagined that it's a bit riskier / a bit more difficult to build this bond for the makers of gacha games without a very strong and well-known IP behind them, but Cookie Run certainly prove my assumption wrong, from what I can see.

There's definite a lot of gacha games that rely Solely On The Pretty (husband/wife collection games like Love Live and Touken Ranbu come to mind) but those also heavily rely on merchandising (and the porn professional fandom generates, lbr). This is also technically the second Cookie Run game, so I'm not actually sure of the extent of the Korean fandom :|c
