That's a pretty cool article, actually lists facts and sources, not just fearmongering.
>According to a survey by the Japan Online Game Association (source: ASCII Japan), the domestic online game market was worth an estimated 1.105 trillion yen in 2024 (about $7.48 billion), a steady decline from 2023’s $10.89 billion. Meanwhile, average mobile game development costs in 2024 rose to about $3.33 million per title, 4.7 times higher than ten years ago. Combined with the effect of market oversaturation and strong competition from high-budget publishers in China and South Korea, Japan’s domestic gacha game market will likely have a difficult time regaining its momentum.

This is why you shouldn't live in Japan if you marry a Japanese woman. When they're there, they become reserved and conform to Japanese societal expectations. They behave much more freely and open when they're abroad. Japs are experts at what lefties call "code switching," and it's often said they have three faces: One they show publicly, one they show to close friends and family, and one they never reveal to anyone. Compare that to Americans who typically wear their hearts on their sleeves and lack a developed sense of introspection or decorum.
