Companies like Mihoyo and Nixon are getting yearly revenues comparable to the revenue generated by all the games of a regular company like Steam and Nintendo just by their like 3 games.
Even the actual proper companies themselves are slowly switching to gacha, hell, that project moon company basically stopped making games to solely focus on that one shitty gacha made for SEAsians.
Is every game dev not fuelled by pure passion and actually wants to make money just going to switch to gacha? Is it genuinely Joever?

Brown Shart 2 or whatever is more degenerate innit

Gacha players throw money after fucking jpg images with a very cheap glitter effect on them.
Of course it was over for them once devs realized they could invest a little money into 3d models and get a bunch of other people with latent gambling addictions in there as well.

It's been known for a solid decade now that passion won't get you anywhere.
That's why every time one guy catches lightning in a bottle you got 50 clones that immediately follow to make a quick buck riding off their coattails like with Vampire Survivors, Lethal Company, Among Us and all that.
Gacha's just the safest and easiest way.

gacha is what happens if capitalism overtakes passion.

>>716212267 (OP)
it may be, but i doubt low-effort gachas will be a thing for much longer
it's clear that people are gravitating more towards gachas with high budgets and an actual semblance of gameplay like mihoyo's games which may reduce the interest in png collectors
so far these have the advantage of being far lower in cost and being able to provide sluttier girls, but the trend towards the former games has begun for several years by now

for every genshin impact and whatever other impacts are there there's plenty of gachashit that last for 5 months and disappear forever
doesn't sound like a bright future to me

Same shit happens with live service games too. They see fortnite print money and want the same.

Since I uninstalled Warframe I never dabbled in any f2ps no more
I hate daily login and fomo events cause sometimes I just don't want to play/want to play something else for a few days
I also hate waiting for updates
Which is why I also can't get into gachas (tried Genshin and Tower of something few years ago and dropped them all)

>>716212267 (OP)
It doesn’t work like that. FOMO only works when a product is popular. You can’t make a shitty game with gacha pulls and have people hooked just because it has gacha. Genshin works because the base game is popular.

>>716213869
nuh uh.
at worst you can make the same amount of money as a successful indie with half the effort unless you fucks up REALLY bad.

yes

This is the kind of reductive mindset that the psychopathic capitalist system and its goons want to foment, but it's not really the whole concept. It denies why people want to do things and elevates the idea that money is the only worthwhile enterprise, which is evidently nonsense by the infinite amount of other human endeavours, I mean games themselves literally exist because people had imagination and want to play.

It's the same kind of logic as, "well oil companies make the most money, so why don't we all become oil company CEOs?", it is childishly simplistic. You're right in that these AAA companies and a certain portion of developers will salivate over the perceived easy buck, but that shit won't stop the indie dev with a dream of making his vampire platformer or whatever.

>The virgin 3D exploration sloppa VS the chad 2D low effort card game
It's funny how cheap to develop TCG Pocket must be and the absurd amount of money it makes. Then you have games like Genshin tryharding as much as they possibly can and they only make half as much money.

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.

>>716216583
It's funny how easy it is to make money. Just make your game a gacha.

How sad.

if you said "in the 20s", i might have agreed that there is room for debate. since 2007? you are retarded, there were loads of games from 08-15 that were very, very good. from 15 until now there are also a decent amount of great games.

I'm glad my standards are just high enough to avoid these games like the plague

videogames are toys and you have the standards of a toddler
