Thats a small number to say all 20 somethings are spending money. Even than 10.5% out of 2k spending to much money seems almost insignificant. And only 18% regret it also seems small. People waste more money on sports than gacha games, from tickets to merchandise. Regretting spending money is common to so to call it the “darker side” is kinda absurd. It always amazing me how people who waste money on make-up, designer clothes, sports, alcohol, just to name a few. Will get upset over wasting money on a gacha games it’s a double standard and nonsense.
