According to a survey conducted in Japan in July 2024, 16.4 percent of boys aged 15 to 19 years old spend money on in-game item purchases or gacha mechanics. The share was considerably lower among girls of the same age. Gacha mechanics in video games operate similar to capsule-toy vending machines by enabling users to receive random game content, such as items or characters, in exchange for a real or virtual currency.
