>>540566045Good
>>540566045Japanese economy is ass. The yen is dying and jap companies are experiencing record bankruptcies.
>>540568428>Japanese economy is ass. The yen is dying and jap companies are experiencing record bankruptcieslol you know we're all fucked once they start selling US bonds right? and then every other countries follows them? the entire west is fucked
>>540566045Bungo Stray Dogs was a good anime. Watched the 3 seasons back in 2020 and it gave me new perspective at the time.
>>540568770>the entire west is fuckedThis has been the case since 2008. Since then, the West has simply been living on borrowed time, hoping to somehow miraculously improve its situation in the meantime. Japan is simply one of the West's weakest links, so the collapse will begin there.
>>540566045Japan will be the only place to invest in and get rich in the next 20 years. They are developing next generation high technology. China will command the lower end stuff. But the west is finished unless they enact tariffs for everything but then the asians will do that in kinda for their agro imports so the west dies and becomes poor. And unlike the past with gun boat diplomacy and sanctions this won’t work since America is getting humiliated in hormuz. Just wanted to add my 2 shekels.
>>540568770Japan will be forced to eat the death of the yen. (((western interests))) won't let Japan's own financial problem that it caused collapse everyone else.Japan is going to become a permanent 2nd world country and Thailand 2.0.
>>540566045It’s simply a matter of the mobile gaming boom coming to an end.Mobile games are something you start just to kill time, but before you know it, they’re eating up your time and even bleeding you dry—and the reality is that people are quitting as they realize they’re nothing more than scam apps.
>>540569722Jap have zero next gen technology let alone any tech industry besides playstation (which is mainly US based and run). lolMove back home to Japan then Takashit.
They're all gacha shit with greedy rates, shat out constantly piggybacking some other IP and then get EoL'd real fast when they can't capture enough consumers in an oversaturated market.
>>540566045No, this is the standard in every country, every year. Mobile is your opportunity to get a foot in the door, and it's a good place to make enough money to transition into 'normal' games. See Akatsuki for ex. (One of the best development studios that no one knows about at the moment btw.)They transitioned from a Dragon Ball Z gacha to a multimedia project which failed (very large loss) and still had enough in the tank to keep going with Hyke and more projects soon.Anyway, it's a good time in Japan dev right now in terms of quality work but not a safe time financially. But that's also relatively normal, a lot of great games came from close to bankruptcy and a lot of long careers from said games.
>>540572158People are playing with the model anyway with that Dragonsong (maybe Dragonsword I don't remember) Korean game doing quite well at the moment as an example. Formerly gacha MMO, transitioned to single player game. It looks dull to me but people like that sort of thing.
>basing your whole economy on animeISHYGDD
>>540572288They have a lot of stuff desu. For example, all high-end sunglasses are made there, all high-end denim, and a lot of other high-end fashion as well. A lot of glass as well. And a lot of components ranging from low to high complexity. And obviously cars.Media is nice but it's more important for happiness than money. I would akshually say their local music circuits and conventions for literature etc. are more important.
>>540572288It's especially retarded when they let their best thing get pozzed. Pic rel, the new globohomo swimsuits.
>>540566045GoodFinally we will get kino anime like in the 90sJapan always makes the best works under pressure
>>540568770Good. The "West" completely ruined Spain in less than 50 years
Who the fuck still plays mobile games? Pay to win, pay to play every level and ads every 5 seconds killed the industry a long time ago.
>>540570229Yeah most people are just gooning to A.I chat now and doomscrolling.
>>540566045all gacha garbage needs to flop and their companies need to go bankrupt
>>540570229truegenuinely the only good thing to play on your phone is emulated gamesthere are hardly any actual games on phones that aren't daily login bullshit with chores to earn gibs
>>540566045>Japanese mobile game developers are going bankruptThat is unironically a good thing.
>>540566045Going bankrupt my assGacha slop is venture capitalism for gamingIf they don't make 500% returns it is deemed a failure and EOS the gameEven if the game and playerbase numbers are actually decent and are in the net positives by decent margins they shut that shit downThese bankruptcies are some scam to not pay their employees or something
