The good gameplay serves to make it a Trojan horse for a terrible business model. It's potentially the most damaging game in the industry.

Yep, gacha is not the best system in the world, though I have to say, calling Genshin Impact "the most damaging game in the industry" might be a bit of an exaggeration.(my interpretation) Genshin's current monetization tactic seems to be to gather many players to spend small amounts of money. This, all be it still harmful, is not as damaging as other games that encourage its small but loyal fanbase to spend life crippling amounts of money.

What do you think of that?

I say it's the most damaging because of what it represents for other games. It shows the likes of EA and Ubisoft that if they make a half decent game, they can sell waifus through all the lootboxes they want.
