>live service game gets more popular over time
how?

it literally just came out

streamerman plays it
the only way games get popular these days is if streamers play them, an entire generation is enslaved to parasocial relationships with funny scream at videogame men

Isn't this mobileshit?

>>715086006
Devs figured out you can get a modest amount of extra money by just exporting the unity project for PC and shoving it onto steam. The biggest benefit is that you're constantly advertising your game for free through people's friends lists.

ANOTHER STEAM CHART THREAD AAAAAAAA

>>715087431
This, honestly Uma will get boring real fast. It's super grindy, and super repetitive. They can "release" new scenarios but after you play them once in like 1 hour, it's the same thing.

What you play for, races, never really changes and it's all automated. Successful live service relies on keeping things fresh and/or involvement with other players. Uma has neither which is why even in Japan its popularity cratered compared to release hype.

>>715089004
>let's see if you keep up after you power up all your decks and have more abilities!
yeah sure

This board criticizes big games for the tiniest things then talk about mobile gacha games

What is wrong with you

>>715089273
Fags here can't afford big games on the regular. They can afford free to play gachas.

This is how you realize that most of the conversation comes from retards who have never even played the games they are talking about and just regurgitate things they've seen on youtube

>>715089118
yup
There is a reason why nips prefer Blue Archive

>>715089273
Thirdies can't afford or play modern games on their systems

>>715085494 (OP)
Streamers, there is no actual gameplay.

>>715089118
>Successful live service relies on keeping things fresh
I do not mind things being stale because I ultimately like the RNG elements, it keeps it (somewhat) fresh and interesting each time. My big problem is the amount of time it takes to use up my stamina. I dropped Limbus because I wasn't dealing with the MD mines anymore now imagine at least 1 MDN having to be done each day just to complete the dailies. Add to that another 3 or 4 to fully use up all your energy and I'm looking at a part-time job. If you could sweep I'd still be playing.

Funny to see you BAfags have to backtrack after gloating for so long. Couldn't beat Persona and couldn't beat Uma. Uma is the most with actual organic popularity

>>715091892
>organic popularity
>paid streamers

>>715091968
BA pays fan artists, and all I'm saying is in every available metric we can see that Umas popular, players, stream numbers, sales. But for BA you can only see it in the fanart, that's weird

>>715091892
Is it really so surprising that BA would have a lower player count? You can finish dailies really quickly in BA whilst you need to spend quite a lot of time on Uma. That's not to detract from Uma hitting it big but the difference in time commitment is massive.

>>715092423
>Well you see people just don't actually play BA
Using that as a cope after saying how KINO the story is and how much of a good waifu game it is is crazy. All you fags have hundreds of unread momotalks whenever you post a screenshot, you just don't play the game because what you really like is just the fanart/porn

>>715092601
I made absolutely no mention of the story, nor have I said anything about waifus. It's fine if you don't like it. You do not need to create narratives that are formed through straw men. It's also fine if others like things you don't, anon.

The opposite actually because a lot of people are saving for her, her banner is a 10 pull, meaning you get other SRs and SSRs along with it, you are not rolling only for her or nothing.
This will boost the power of most accounts allowing more of the community to participate in more PvP events, also you only need 1 Kitasan card because the upcoming events will allow you to max 1 SSR card of your choice.

>>715095816

With this game specifically, it received a streamer boost from July 2nd onward. From its launch it was hovering around 20k players, but then streamers found out about it which caused a chain reaction of other streamers jumping on it, now with their viewers trying the game.

Anon..
F2p with mtx (gacha in this case) is an attempt to milk the retards with poor impulse control. It can be a good game but usually become a shit game due to monetization because the monetization usually fucks with progression by making it extremely grindy and time-consuming or making it really inconvenient to play the game. Shit has been played out for ages in kMMOs

>>715102715
it is when its mobile

>>715102593
Yea, people abused linking a bunch of posts, so you can't do that anymore.

>Counter Strike 2
>Team Fortress 2

I don't think the ability to host private lobbies negates the on-going support the games get from their developers. But if those two games are your only examples of non-live service games, and I'm going to just say you only meant TF2 because Counter Strike 2 is so clearly a live service game, you've only got one example out of 24 total I posted.

>>715102978
Are you a chink or a SEA nigger (same thing but I just want to clarify)?

>>715086493
"Surprise" hits almost always reach their peak in their second week during the week end so it'll probably reach its final peak during this week end (but given that it's a gacha, it will possibly happen during Kitasan Black's banner next friday and then fizzle down).

>>715103095
There's a lot more others that aren't live service like terraria, rimworld, euro truck simulator, project zomboid, and so on. Just didn't want to point to every single one of them. Point is, live service games are games that, if the developer/ publisher decides to stop supporting the game, the game becomes defunct and will no longer work because it requires a host server like MMOs.

>Uma thread turns into a BA seething thread

>>715103462
Terraria has gotten developer support, updates, and content since it launched, just like a live service game would. That it doesn't monetize like a gacha game, doesn't make it a non-live service game.

https://terraria.fandom.com/wiki/PC_version_history

I'll check on the other games, but I'm guessing that more and more players aren't playing games that are years and years old that have not been receiving continuous developer support to ensure players are being serviced.

The Rimworld developer has a blog going back to 2013. I see updates, patches, what looks like an upcoming expansion. This isn't a game that the developer launched then never touched again. They've been feeding it and its audience month after month, year after year.

https://ludeon.com/blog/

>>715103853
Never mind then. We're seeing things different. You come from the view point where any game that still gets updates is considered live service while I come from the view point where if the dev/publisher decides to stop bothering with the game, it'll cease to function.

>>715103890

BA has the gigacoomer barrier and P5X is just a shittier version of P5, it’s one thing to play it on your phone it’s quite another to play it on your PC where you have access to the real game.

Persona 5X devs crashed their game via multiple things
1) accelerate global by a hillarious amount, like 3 banners per rotation
2) halving the necessary resources you get from events/promos/etc

Game quality aside, the horse people knew exactly what they were getting into. P5X on the other hand, you had a lot of people that don't usually play gachas curious about it to see if maybe it wasn't like every other gacha and when they realized what was going on dropped it

>>715089587
>mid archive
aka nikke for pedophiles

>>715105395
Also only started playing it right now but I can see the horizon. The free karat handouts slow down DRASTICALLY after you've played for a while as you start off getting achivements and main-line quests for doing nothing, but once those run out you are probably left with at max like 200-300 a day from daily quests, loggin bonuses and doing daily events. It's the classic "give you so much of it you think it's worthless then stop giving you any" tactic. You can certainly F2P it since I've seen people do that from the JP launch but the handouts will start dissappearing quite soon.

>>715106209
Because it wouldnt last 4+ years? Its the same reason Bombergirl stayed arcade for so long and why Gundam Xtreme VS doesnt get a console port. Being an "actual game" wouldnt change how Uma Musume worked in the slightest since its basically a single player horse raising game to begin with.

uhhh, that sounds based tho

>>715108590
Then why do I only ever see art of Asuna?
I know nothing about Blue Archive aside from Asuna because she's everywhere for some reason

>>715108301
i can asure you the hate its totally organic and not a handfull of retards spamming because its totally normal that the uma thread somehow brings up BA every thread

>>715099475
TND

>>715109205
Why would the Uma thread care about the inferior game

>>715099173
Worthless till they are removed from their gacha jails

>>715089579
I used to think this board being overrun by broke thirdies was just a meme. No, it's real. We share a board with people who are unironically living in squalor and probably have a bundle of wires hanging in view of the closest window. Man I miss the old internet.

>>715108676
horsegirls is way more popular with vtubers specifically

>>715109754
i dont know you tell me why since there is always a post about it

>>715102593
Huh? TF2 is one of the progenitors of live service games.

>>715108842
It isn't since the game only has TWO actual lolis. Idk why it got a reputation of being a loli game.

nice game bluekeks

The biggest issues BA on steam has is no Web Events, why the fuck would I even log in on steam if I gotta go through my phone/emulator to do what I need in game anyway?

>>715085748
Got to be organic though. NL wasn't sponsored to play it. Did it as a shitpost, it blew up, and others hopped on the trend

>>715099008
You mean /v/ vs /v/ fight, don't kid yourself.

>>715103508
>>715104190
It's BA players being mad that their strategy of being as repellent as possible to gatekeep actually means their game is on the downturn.

>>715109962
I live like that and I do have a bundle of wires hanging in front of my house

Uma may have won the battle, but BA will win the war.

>>715115245
the war of losing...

>monkey still mad
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Funniest thing this year so far was BA cucks daily posting about not being allowed on Steam, and how it had been 61 days or whatever the fuck, whining and complaining like BA was a big deal and NEEDED to be on Steam.

Then it came out and no one played it lmao

>>715085671
Its been out for 4 years, EOP-kun...

>>715085494 (OP)
they paid a lot for streamer exposure. it's just another lame gacha

>>715108301
you seem confuse hating a game with hating a fanbase

>>715117817
No one cares, nigger....

>>715117817
and nobody in the west cared about it because no english version

>>715116497
In 1 year BA will have more players than Uma

>>715089273
what is wrong is we need a gacha board so they can all fuck off

>>715089587
>There is a reason why nips prefer Blue Archive

>>715099446
yes

>>715095816
feet

>>715092423
Wasn't BA is a VN? Did people just press SKIP all the times or something?

>>715094726
BA is censored and flop even harder in China lol

>>715127657
He's the crazy part. We HAVE one.

Why mods don't enforce the rule is beyond me. 80% of "game" discussion on this board has been fucking mobile games like blue archive, master duel and the horse shit for the last few days with a sprinkle of switch 2 ragebait threads, steam charts and SKG/Thor shit.
But no move the /an/ thread to /b/.

If I obtained dlc through creamapi would I "keep/own" it after uninstalling creamapi? Or would I have to keep it installed to continue using said dlc?
