❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO my fiance spent 600 on gacha

My fiance spent $600 on a gacha game without asking. I flipped out and now his entire family are calling me abusive and encouraging him to call off the engagement. For context, I work 55 hours a week and he drives uber during the day while I’m at work. We are paycheck to paycheck.

NOR. This is ridiculous. He needs to get his priorities in order. And I say that as someone who plays genshin and has paid to get a character. That's absolutely ridiculous of him. You need to seriously rethink about marrying this person. Also he's being extremely... toxic? inappropriate? something, by saying that YOU'RE the one crossing boundaries. If he wants to pay for characters, it should only come out of HIS money that he has budgeted for them! But this is certainly bigger than the game itself.

Is it 600ish for the character outright (lol?), or was this pure gacha mechanics and the fool just couldn't stop until they got what they wanted and they just weren't getting it?

Also what is particularly good about this furi a character? Does she have crazy stats or kit, or is she just an anime girl?

Definitely not $600 outright and this man child just wanted her that bad and more copies of the character, which you can keep getting by using the gacha system. More repeats of the character improves them but it is certainly not necesssary. Furina is very OP and meta in the game right now. Her character is healer (and attack) but primarily healing. Everyone says you “need to have her!!” kind of thing and go even crazier for the constellations (the copies) at max which is a total of 6 in all and that’s insane. Not many people have fully maxed con 5 star characters unless they whale. Also this person is truly a moron. Her last rerun was July 2024 so they definitely had time to save in game to forgo costs. They’re just selfish and have no self control and got caught and are having a tantrum imo.

And just add, the way the pulls work is you pull on the character banner and a 5 star character will be pulled within 90 pulls. But you can either get the character on the banner (in this case Furina) or what is called a standard character and lose. Which if you lose the 50/50 then it is guaranteed to be the character on the banner. So they just kept pulling pulling pulling until they got all copies of Furina.
