Playable Paimon should be the game's first free five star given out through the story

>Tryhard in the new event
>Can't beat the challenge objectives anyway because of dogshit gimmicks and party members with godforsaken truly awful builds
>3 rounds to reach the point cap
>Pick some random character and just goof around instead without caring about the objectives
>Still takes 3 rounds to reach the point cap
what exactly is Hoyo's goal with this event

>Tease Skirk, a generally highly anticipated character, in a compilation of character silhouettes right before the regional archon quest finale
>Proceed to do nothing with Skirk with half a year before she just unceremoniously gets released without having appeared or been hinted at a single time in the actual game
>Use Skirk's story quest to hype up Surtalogi who is super awesome and super strong and basically cooler than anyone else's OC character
>Go out of their way to use the very same story quest to say that he's not going to show up in the story for a very long time anyway
>Announce a brand new character whom they intentionally had excluded from the aforementioned silhouette for extra hype value
>It's someone no one had heard of before and she's slated to just become an end-of-region filler anyway
>Finally make the game's second ever five star outfit several years after the previous one
>It's for Yelan, a character who hasn't rerun in over a year and who doesn't rerun in the same patch the outfit is released
>Drop nuclear bomb reveal showing the shades in a video where they talk about how they will need to play an active part in the story
>Just one week before they begin releasing the showcases of the next region's playable roster which primarily will consist of regular humans
Just what the fuck are they doing? Is this all a part of some grand plan or are they just throwing shit at a wall to see what sticks?

This game would have been 5x more popular if lewding was allowed
You can't prove me wrong by any means but you're welcome to try

steam commissions a cut of profits from the games that it carries, something in the vicinity of 30%. iOS does the same thing but to virtually any company it's worth it to access the easily exploited and deep pocketed Iphone market.

Presumably Epic Game Store gave Hoyo an exceptional deal, as they often do, and are taking either no commission or a negligible one. In fact, EGS might be paying Hoyo to carry it. They have a habit of throwing money at relevance sometimes.

You could at least shill a girl that can currently be rolled for.
