Do the kids like it? Who the heck knows. This feels like a love-letter to us gray-beards... the longtime fans - rather than a simple cash grab. I suppose that'll all depend on what you expect from a F2P Gacha. For me, it's the expansion of the lore and the adaptation of moments from the books. There's also plenty of fun to be had in the non-canon crossover events.
