Gachaslop is purgatory for tired gamers. After being bombarded with DEI, lazy AAA cinematic slop, no gameplay, fotm streamer garbage, multiplayer cancer, and ports, gamers are only willing to do gacha dailies and look at attractive anime women (China) instead of engaging with the current state of the industry.

It's the same reason why an otherwise 8/10 game like E33 is being called not only game of the year but game of the decade, because it literally had no competition since 2007.
