being a gacha style game doesnt inherently have to be multiplayer.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a prime example of a game that has major gacha mechanics but is strictly single player. You collect core crystals and thr crystals rng into a blade, with a percent chance of unlocking a named rare blade that has a unique model/sub quests.
the difference in models of games like wuthering waves/genshin impact vs Xenoblade is that one is free to play, and tries to release more playable characters in order to entice players to pay (not required to, can be earned in game if you choose to) and the other is a 60$ game + DLC costs.

I don’t understand the business model. It’s single player but gacha?
