That's surprising, considering that online gambling is legal in Belgium. What was the basis for the ban on gacha games?
With regard to FGO, for example, there were reports of players spending over
US$70,000 on the game, and there are many more anecdotal stories of people plonking over US$100,000. That is insane, in my opinion, but I've not come across a single article to date on what the publisher Sony/Aniplex and developer Delightworks have to say about this (they probably think, "More money for us, what's there to complain about?").
In my case, I make it a strict rule not to spend more than what I would for an annual subscription to an MMORPG like Final Fantasy XIV. Any more, and I would start questioning my grip on sanity.
