Most PC and console games people play have gatcha mechanics and by having gatcha makes them gatcha games. If it has any gatcha mechanics it's a gatcha funnel.

I work in the games industry, and this just isn’t true.
Where are you getting your information from?

I would say common sense from seeing free to play shooters, verified by a random site where most are gatcha games. https://activeplayer.io/top-15-most-popular-pc-games-of-2022...
Some aren’t gatcha but most are.
No they're not - if you include mobile games, sure but they're not really the same thing as PC/Console games. It's good to criticize this stuff but the hn crowd seems to go into full moral panic mode when discussing video games.
It's really easy to find hundreds of really good games that don't have predatory microtransactions, just download steam and pay attention to reviews.
