I feel like priconne as of recent is too money-targeting though... every new character feels like its trying to appeal to the current popular thing and they drop a kyouka alt banner every year ever since the halloween alt brought in crazy amounts of revenue lol
Id also be barely scraping by with free gems even though i was playing on the kr server and had future banner outlooks. Literally had to sacrifice oshi swimsuit makoto for swimsuit saren in the second year cuz i couldnt collect enough after pulling nyui and muimi
i feel like cygames in general def suffer from design creep because ive also noticed princess connect getting inflicted with something simuliar although not to the extent of umamusume (1st is default starting character, 2nd and 3rd are newer characters)
