if hoyo put archons and their constellations behind their respective questlines, and straight up sold other characters, and had many more cosmetics available, and yanked out the resin+gacha mechanics entirely, I am convinced they would make as much or more money

gambling is not the only way to monetize live services

no, because that implies the gacha mechanic is at best neutral, when it's actually fucking trash
