Japanese gacha industry is sinking, they can't compete with Chinese and Korean studios, many games are EOS'ing and a lot of people are losing their jobs, and worse yet they struggle going back to work on console games.

It's all your fault, /v/, for spamming the Mihoyo shit over and over. Now no one wants to play the Nip stuff.

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.

More like S-E sucks at making gacha games (or they outsource most of them to literally who retards), it's no surprise most of them get shut down in like a year after release because they're making less than $100-200k a month (although some flops like KHUX make negative money and stay around for years because they're directly backed by some higher-up like Nomura in this example)
Funny how ex-Square-Enix devs made their own company to make gacha games (Cygames) and they actually released some succesful ones. Hell, they even have their own art team (CyDesignation) and S-E outsource some work to them because fuckall talented people still work there.

i played this game until the EOS in the international version. in the end they kept re running the same events over and over again, and trying to please the metafags and whales until the game died.
it was cool to play a gacha game with an actual plot, where the females are not trying to ride your dick every five minutes.

No, it's just other series like Final Fantasy are sinking. They tried to turn everything into a gacha and, not a big shock, only a handful of them got big. The rest will die off. And we'll be left with like 5 big gachas.

And Final Fantasy is dying not because of gacha but because of three decades of stupid management from Square.

>many games are EOS'ing and a lot of people are losing their jobs, and worse yet they struggle going back to work on console games.
Yes because the quality of Gacha games is rising and therefore the costs are higher. 2D Gacha's are no longer as viable as they once were. Nowadays it's either 2.5D or 3D or bust. Very few 2D ones are able to make it to market.

Also SEGA and Square Enix expected to make easy money off the Gacha market, but usually IP Gacha is looked down upon because their rates and monetary incentives are worse compared to the lower echeleons of Japanese Companies already in the market and are wildly successful. It's their own fault for failing in the market, not Cygames, not Bandai Namco not others who are successful to this day.

Gachas turn to shit the longer they go on for. The more tacked on bullshit the more shit you have to grind for, balance gets completely fucked, etc. What made Brave Exvius nice is that you only needed 1 copy of a character to max them out. Even 3* base units could be really good maxed out. With the addition of 7* units you needed to pull the character and 4 copies of them to max them out. Neo Vision made things infinitely worse by reducing the game to numbers porn and making it so you're required to do x amount of damage in 1~2 turns or else you lose.

Kingdom Hearts Union X had this same exact issue. Every attack doing full screen number damage, you dying in 1 hit, you having to win the battle within 3 turns or else you lose, etc. Brave Exvius followed the KHUX model to the T and died just like it did.

The shareholders. Literally. Square management announces "we're making a FF gacha." The shareholders dump $300 million into their stock. They make the game for $50 million and invest the other $250 million to cover their other games loses. Then let the game die after 9 months. Idiot shareholders lose their money and Square can claim they're "growing."

Square Enix has quality in terms of presentation and animation. But their monetary system and economy are awful especially the Gameplay aspects. They try to milk users on a premium.

Square-Enix has zero long term planning skills for gachas. Their only idea to prolong a gachas life is to make the numbers bigger. I fucking laughed when I redownloaded BE after a year or so and all of a sudden I was doing 5+ million damage in 1 hit.

All true. But the problem is Square has always run their company following the Hollywood model. In the 90s this meant taking risks and investing in new technologies (CGI, etc). But Hollywood became stagnant in the 2000s and on. And Square continued to copy their model. So now you can only get something greenlit if it's a spin off or remake of [known IP]. Hence, Final Fantasy gacha, rather than an original concept.

I think this is an issue with bigger companies and shareholders. They take less risk because they think if it's not an IP it can not work or make money. But honestly it's a lie it can but they need to be able to take a risk on products and allow them to make money. But they are too thirsty for ROI ASAP make huge numbers they lose sight of trying to think long term with viability.

Their gachas tend to be decent for the first year or so though. Record Keeper, Brave Exvius, KHUX, and Dissidia Opera Omnia were all decent early on. The one thing they all have in common is devolving into number porn and making events that kill you if you don't win in 1-3 turns. That's not the only reason why they turned to shit but it is a thing they had in common.

China is very good at copying something and very recently they're getting much better at polishing their products in way that Japan cannot compete with just because China has so many fucking people.

The one strength Japan had compared to China and Korea was that they made a lot of weird unique shit and they had the freedom to tell more sexual, bloody, and "taboo" stories compared to china and koreas censorship. It seems that in recent years they're losing even that.

Yeah, because they treated gacha as a cheap cash grab. China and Korea still wanted to make a decent game that you'd be willing to put up with the gacha. Japan just made a lot of gacha of their big IPs as cash grabs (SE being one of the worst culprits). Not to mention Genshin set the bar VERY high to where you can't just have cheap sprites anymore. What's dumb is gacha is doing better than its ever big. Its just Japs got lazy and let the Chinks and Gooks run away with the market.

No wonder I see so many brain-dead finance takes these days. Do you actually think the stock price going up is money going to the company? There's no way you're THAT financially illiterate

The untold problem with gachas is that there never was a end goal or a end game. When does one "beat" a gacha game? Where's the final boss?

I wouldn't be praising Koreans either. They crashed their one and only market, the MMO market long before gacha got big. They'll follow suit too. Chinks will probably just make their own consoles at some point instead of these shitty AAA games on mobile phones.

This is also a problem with MMOs. New expansion, new power creep, your previous achievements now mean nothing, etc.

Just like MMOs and other live service games, that's up to you. The games will always try to string you along to the next update, hoping to extract just a little more money out of you, or have you lure in new players for them.

The gacha gold rush in the mid to late 2010's so was crazy. There were big new games coming out every week if not every few days. The industry really is dead as fuck right now in comparison to those days, Genshin killed it by setting expectations too high so devs can't make clones of other gacha games with a popular IP attached and call it a day without investing a lot more money now.

It's basically what happened with MMOs. There used to be weekly Korean MMOs releasing but now the genre barely gets big new releases.

It sounds like you're the one who's illiterate. I literally said they're covering up their losses and put "growth" in quotes. I know you can't get a persons tone of voice through text. But you should be able to get it when I lay it out in the text.

Kantai collection tested the grounds.

FGO almost perfected the idea and walked so that other gachas can run.

Genshin impact is the standard ideal gacha game.

They also had other markets. Namely the RTS and Gunbound markets. But they killed those as well.

Japan still does it. It's just that the whole "it's okay when Japan does it" is real. And it's because Japan doesn't try to claim they're the originator of the thing. They take something, refine it and make it better. China takes the thing and copies it directly. Then says they invented it.

I know what a pyramid scheme is, you magnificent example of the dunning Kruger effect. What I don't know is what you think the link is between people putting 300 mil into SE stocks and SE spending 300mil. You said them in consecutive sentences, but you also acknowledge that the first 300 mil doesn't go to SE.

FGO being such an old platform feels like an advantage in the current climate because with old graphics, simple 2D presentation and a more narrative focused, essentially VN in mobile format delivery, it doesn't compete so frontally against the waves of Mihoyo and Korean gachas. A lot of the people who persist there are people who grew up with visual novels and TM products, and it keeps interest by being a generally narrative oriented game. For better or worse, that's part of the reason there will likely never be a FGO2 with updated models and graphics, not only because people already invested too much on their accounts so they'd not want to migrate and start from scratch, but the cost of upgrading graphics and visuals and meeting the kind of high standard that Mihoyo and others have set is just too much, specially considering all the other side projects the FGO machine already carries.

Umamusume similarly brings a very different kind of experience that you won't get with other gacha products on the market. I think as long as you're working with different niches that do not compete so frontally with the current market leaders, it should be fine, otherwise it's looking like a suicidal enterprise.

The budget put into modern gadgets make me feel like none of them will reach the decade mark, simply because it'll cost too much to maintain at its old presentation level once the numbers dwindle too much.

Vs. 2d gatcha where.....you just throw one artist at it for awhile and someone else to write up new scenarios/maps.

let me make my question more clear since you are clearly more than fiscally retarded.
What is the relationship between people spending money on stocks and SE spending money on expenses? The money spent on stocks goes to other shareholders, not SE.

I mean RPGs are about building a character. Increasing the level cap isn't exactly a problem because you take the same character forward. With gacha if they powercreep your old characters and you need to gamble for the new and strong ones it's much worse.

Maybe their shitty menu clicker gachas would last a little longer if they didn't shut them down annually.

It can't cost that much to keep a game like Opera Omnia going. Square doesn't give a shit. They shut it down and thought the playerbase would just shift over to the next game and start their progress over. No fucking chance. Better yet, stop putting out low budget cashgrabs.

Square Enix isn't putting out big budget gachas. They're putting out low budget cash grabs, shutting them down after a year, and crying about Genshin stealing their lunch.

Honestly, if they actually committed to FInal Fantasy XVII as a big budget gacha game and gave it the longevity of treatment that XI got, they might be able to compete. But why would you ever give them money when they've proven they're perfectly willing to throw your progress away when its convenient to them?

Stock is not a static thing. Companies borrow and invest with their stock value. That's the entire reason they go public in the first place. There would be no reason to open your company up to outside investment if you had to just sit on it. And this is obvious when you also look at how many companies crashed because of a sudden rush on their stock couldn't be covered. Because, again, it's being invested in other companies, R&D, product development, etc.

The irony when you're claiming I'm fiscally retarded...

Good, you produce nothing but low effort slop for past 10-15 years (with very few exceptions) and then act surprised that chinks and kimchis taken over of both gacha and gaming industry. It's a self inflicted wound.

Now you go bankrupt and i will celebrate every single of your companies going down in flames.

To be fair, FGO is in a very unique situation. Unlike many gachas that exist only as a ad and just there for quick money, its canon. Really rare for a gacha game i think. Anything that happens in the game may affect other future Fate works. Nasu and the other writers are all supporting the game.

1. The numbers you gave give a 1:1 ratio of money spent on stocks to expenses. If you can't see why you're being called retarded for that you're beyond help.
2. Loans have to be paid back. You don't EVER want to be borrowing for losses or you're twice as deep in the hole, so I don't know why you're bringing that up
3. I have no idea what you mean by "invest with their stock value". Stock is in the hands of the stock holder, not the company.
4. A company goes public because ISSUING stock brings in money. Once the stock is issued, the company doesn't get any more money from it being traded.
5. Show me one example of a business that had good financials, but had their stock price driven down and had to shut down.

Don't learn economics from /pol/.

You're right. They usually use more.
>2. Loans have to be paid back. You don't EVER want to be borrowing for losses or you're twice as deep in the hole, so I don't know why you're bringing that up
If you think companies don't take more loans than they're worth, you're an idiot. They take a new loan to pay past loans or refinance loans all the time. Every fucking government in the world does this. What makes you think companies don't?
>3. I have no idea what you mean by "invest with their stock value". Stock is in the hands of the stock holder, not the company.
The money they get from the stock. But also, the interest rates and loans they get is dependent on their companies value. Which stock is one part of that.
>4. A company goes public because ISSUING stock brings in money. Once the stock is issued, the company doesn't get any more money from it being traded.
And hence why I said they will trick new investors to buy stock. But you keep skipping over the parts that don't fit your argument.
>5. Show me one example of a business that had good financials, but had their stock price driven down and had to shut down.
They don't have good financials. That's the point. They issue more stock than their company is worth, then get screwed if a huge amount of the investors suddenly want to cash out. Like I already said in a previous post, they either have to borrow to cover their debts or get new investors to replace the old ones. This happened to an anime studio called Gainax. And is currently happening to Disney. But Disney is able to stay afloat because of their outside investments and theme parks.
