A clip of Twitch streamer Tramell "Lacari" going off against Honkai Star Rail's gacha system after running out of pulls has gone viral after viewers reshared it on social media. The content creator was playing miHoYo's new gacha RPG when he lost his composure and went on a long rant about how bad it is to play these games without spending money.
Games such as these offer substantially better rewards when real-world money is invested in microtransactions. Which is why some players take it upon themselves to be free to play, or F2P, and go through the game without spending money on pulls. Lacari seemed to be doing the very thing while playing for the last couple of days and had enough after pulling a Light Cone that he did not like.
