Since gacha games became mainstream after the global pandemic and, even more important, AI made it easier for people to have their own websites, we’ve seen a huge increase in new wikis on the space that provide absolutely nothing while stealing all the content they have.

And today we’ll talk about one such case, gacha.gg, a website I refuse to link because I hate everything they stand for and they do not deserve it.

I was surprised when I saw they are not only stealing from me, but also from Prydwen and a bunch of content creator friends.

So, let’s go over how you can identify these types of websites and why they’re bad for anyone who actually likes gacha games.

About clankers and AI usage

AI is a great tool that can help in plenty of fields, including letting people have their own websites without much technical knowledge.

I have no problems with people WHO PLAY THE GAMES THEY COVER, my issue is thieves, not AI :)


What is gacha.gg?

Simply put, gacha.gg is a massive scraping operation that’s stealing information from dozens if not hundreds of wikis, while they claim to cover 100+ games.

Here’s a picture of all the websites they have in their network, linking to one another, all with similar designs, footers, privacy policies and more.

gacha.gg network of websites

Some quick facts about this network:

  • No legal company / entity present on ANY of their websites
  • Several mention they are run by “one person” in their privacy policy
  • Some of their sites say their sources are “scraped from the source”

What source, the hard work of other people? 😭😭


Who’s behind this?

They never mention anyone in their privacy policies nor about pages, which is already a huge red flag.

Tool websites

Important to mention here, their normal “tool” websites are completely fine and can be 100% automated while being relevant and useful for the community.

My issue is the wikis where they do have guides and tier lists clearly stolen and scraped from other sources.

They do use ad providers in most of their websites, and that’s where it’s a bit easier to find information on. Their ad network’s public records list the account holder as Infamous Ltd.

Their google analytics tracking ID goes back to 2011 with different websites, some of them included in the picture above. Sometimes they describe themselves as a “fan site” others as “run by one person”.

I’m not gonna share the specific company registry number since this is not a witch hunt, just me calling them out and telling my community to not use websites of this style.

Right of reply

I contacted gacha.gg through their contact form on October 13, 2026, asking about the copied content, their use of AI, the site network and Infamous Ltd, and gave them until October 16 to respond.

They replied saying the site is “only about 2 weeks old”, “just an experiment”, isn’t monetized and doesn’t get much traffic. They added: “I am inclined to agree that it is not okay to rewrite the character reviews or pros and cons”, and said they had removed all of that content from the site.

Their reply did not address the tier list sources, permission from the creators involved, their use of AI, their network or Infamous Ltd.


The stolen content

Now, accusing them of stealing without showing any proof would be weird, so let’s talk about the games I’ve confirmed they are stealing that I know about:

  • Trickcal, they use my tier list and Prydwen
  • MAke Drama: MAD, also using my tier list
  • NIKKE: nikke.gg tier list as the main scraping point, with Prydwen and my tier list being used too
  • Resonance Solstice: Tharsis tier list
  • Silver and Blood: again Tharsis tier list
  • Almost every game Prydwen covers had their pros/cons and tier list placements reworded, which at this scale only happens by running them through AI (removed since I contacted them)

By the way you forgot to update the MAD tier list, if you are gonna steal at least keep it up to date.

They also wrote Trickcal wrong on ALL their pages and took like a week to fix it, already tells you how much they play these games.

For those of you who don’t know my friend Tharsis, he’s a CC working for Prydwen and making content in YouTube.

And you can see the pros/cons he wrote (bottom) for Resonance Solstice and the thief pros/cons for the same character (top) here:

Screenshot from October 13, since removed.

update 1: they have removed all their rewritten pros/cons and character reviews since I contacted them. In their reply they called it “rewriting”, but this is a site run by one or two people, covering 137 games with dozens to hundreds of characters each. Nobody is rewriting thousands of reviews by hand in two weeks. Let’s not cap here and call it what it is, AI and stealing.

You can go check most of their games for yourself. This is simply what I verified just checking a few from the 137 they “cover”.

I highly doubt they even play one of them to be honest.

Their character pages also show how many websites they aggregate data from, if you go and check, they are literally stealing from hundreds of websites if you combine all the games they list.

For example, you can see for Silver and Blood they claim to be referencing 14 tier lists.

silver and blood tier list references

Screenshot from October 13, before their update.

By the way, this game is dead and barely any people were actually making content for it, so not sure where they “found” 14 tier lists when there were only a couple good ones.

update 2: they have updated their sources and now show fewer, STILL not verifying if these sources are any good (they’re not most of the time) or even asking for permission from the big networks.


Why this hurts ACTUAL guide makers

To put it into perspective and without sharing exact numbers, Prydwen has 50+ people in their staff discord while covering “only” 18 games at the time of writing this article.

Mobalytics, Maxroll, Dotgg and similar networks also employ a lot of people to cover a fraction of the games that this website claims to host themselves (137 games, grok must be doing overtime).

This hurts guide makers and content creators who spend time, money and effort into the games they cover.

It also kills smaller wikis that have no way of surviving when fighting against huge scraping operations like this one, who can feed links and get a lot of users quickly in a few months thanks to their network and the amount of backlinks they can get.

And when more and more legit wikis close due to thieves like these, what do you have left as a consumer? Clanker slop from people who never even install these games.


The answer is always money

Gacha.gg became active recently and does not have ads, but most of their other websites do.

Most ad networks ask for specific traffic before they accept you, which is probably what they’re waiting for.

They use multiple ad networks to profit, sometimes from nice tools for single player games, sometimes from stealing all their information from other people because they have no morals nor care about what they are creating.

At the end of the day the answer is always the same when it comes to these types of companies.

update 3: In their email replying to me they mention this website is not monetized, but they still have dozens of other sites that ARE monetized and linking to one another for easier growth and funneling users between them, the answer remains the same as to why gacha.gg exists.

I’m not gonna sit here and preach about how capitalism is bad while I run my own gacha wiki, but you get the point.


How to identify these websites

There are multiple ways to tell when a website is run by actual people or when it’s simply scraped content, and it’s even easier when it comes to gaming.

The golden rule, authoring. If you can’t see the author, most likely it’s AI slop or stolen content (not always, but this tends to be true more often than not).

Proving you know a game is easy and it shows when you talk with someone over social media or you watch them play, and this is why most gaming wikis nowadays (including Maxroll and Mobalytics for example) show who writes the content.

Another simple clue is Discord. When there’s a community Discord you can directly interact with the people making the website and see if they play these games or not.

This applies to any social media overall, Twitter, YouTube or any reference as to whom might be writing the content is always a positive sign.

The last one is the easiest one in my opinion, writing. You can easily tell if someone actually plays a game by checking how their guides are written and how they speak about specific mechanics.

Are they larping and yapping nonstop about things that do not matter? You probably already know it’s not their content.


All that said, I do hope all the reasons I shared above are enough to convince some of you to never use websites like this, that will never care about the industry or you as a player.

Support your favorite guide makers, wikis and those maintaining spreadsheets and actually putting effort into a healthy ecosystem to help players out.
