I've contacted 2 famous gaming Youtube channels that go against these kind of pratices from gaming companys (TotalBiscuit and The Jimquisition).
This is the message I sent them through Yotube:
"Hello Jim/John. I've been a fan of your work for some years now and I know you stand for consumer rights above all.
I come from a community on reddit from a game called One Piece Treasure Cruise for mobile made by Bandai Namco.
It's a Free 2 Play game with a "gacha" pull system where you can spend money to get powerfull characters, a luck based system (I'm sure you know these type of japanese games called gacha games).
Recently we have discovered that Bandai Namco manipulates the rates of the characters you can pull without informing absolutely anyone about it, they decrease on purpose the odds for you to get the best characters on events where they are supposed to be rate boosted.
Futhermore we have reasons to believe that they have a system in place where the more money you spend/more pulls you make, the less chances you have to get good characters in order to force you to pull more.
Please check this reddit topic if you can
https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePieceTC/comments/71ulgr/memo_to_the_optc_community_regarding_rheathtechs/
and read exactly what's going on.
We just want to be treated with the same respect and transparency that OPTC Japan has, (Japan has a law that forces all gacha type games to display the rates of every character you can pull on events, so they have way better rates) in the US and Europe there's no law so Bandai Namco does whatever they want.
Please help us if you can spreading this movement and stop this anti-consumer practices. Thank you."
English is not my first language, but I think they will understand the basics of what's going on and understand the rest after reading the reddit topic.
What do you guys think? Maybe I should contact them through other social media? Will they even read what I've wrote?
