Now that Stellar Blade is a huge success, will more gacha devs diversify to make single-purchase videogames and compete with western AAA titles?
Yeah a title with less than 4m sold is really successful and not something like wukong with 30+ million sold
>>729147126lole, why invest millions of dollars in a full fledged videogame to make less profit than your golden chicken does in one month.
>>729147350Ask Shift Up.
>>729147262Wuwho? Please talk about relevant games that still get discussion 1 week after release
>>729147350maybe because some people want to actual create fun games and not just be money grubbing jews?
Didn’t a huge number of gachas fail? Like the Persona one? Pretty sure the fad is ending soon, so we can get back to whipping them into devving some games
>>729147126>huge success
>>729147126>/v/ in 2030>IF YOU DON'T SELL 1 BILLION COPIES GAME IS FLOPSHITMilestones are important. Let's see you make a game that sells X million copies.>B-but *sharts*That's what I thought, hah!
>>729148559yep stellar blade had nowhere near the budget of that
>>729148740And nowhere near those sales.
>>729148559And Rebirth?
>>729148559>shipped + sold digitally>not sold physical + sold digitallyfake #s
>>7291485597m digital copies shipped! Praise!.
>>729149245>>729149314>doesn't know how sales to retailers workBack to your coomerflop
>>729149602>mr Steam Nevell, we can only sell you 7m copies of our game! You can't order more! We don't have more copies in our hard drives!

>>729147126>will more gacha devs diversify to make single-purchase videogames and compete with western AAA titles?Maybe, maybe not.Shift Up's circumstances are somewhat special and there are reasons besides their 'good hearts' and 'SB being a passion project' why they still release free (and paid) updates to keep the game in public's eyes.When Shift Up went public, official reports for potential investors highlighted their reliance on a single revenue source - gacha game NIKKE.While NIKKE is relatively popular and more or less permanent member of TOP 10 gacha earners it's still a single point of failure that could doom the whole company when that revenue stream dries out.So Shift Up was pretty desperate to for another IP that would prove they are capable of surviving without reliance on gachashit.So they keep providing more content despite the game being 'done' and sequel being officially announced.Makes for a good PR and happy players.>>729147350Gachashit is not sustainable in the long run.You will alienate your fans one way or another or bore them to death because you release update after update of inane bullshit to keep your golden goose alive.Once your ''game'' is done, there's no guarantee whatsoever that people will flock to your next jpeg collector.
>>729149064doro spotted
>>729147350There's artistic prestige when making a huge console game that isn't there for mobile titles
>>729147262Wukong is barely talked about this year.Even le wizard game is still riling up some trannies
>>729148559>game A has large dev team and big budget >sell 7M>devs literally admit that game sales ‘Did Not Meet Our Expectations’ >game B has a small dev team and small budget>sells 3M>it's considered a roaring success, gets loads of updates, sequel is announced>retard from /v/ can't wrap his head around that /v/ would be a nicer place if disingenuous retards (like you) and faggots who fail at primary school tier math (like you) didn't post
>>729148559>a flagship squeanix title with gorrilions of budget over the span of two games, with history of over 20 years sold only 3mil more than AA gooner action game that only existed for like 2 years
>>729148559>one is remake of legendary game from world-famous game series with gigantic budget and big,well known studio behind it, which probably spent more on advertising than gooks spend on entire development>the other one is 1st non-gachashit attempt from bunch of literally who gook devs and new IP to bootSQUARE really fucked up, didn't they?
>>729150339>game is only relevant if there's some long lasting drama attached to itThat's pretty retarded even for /v/ argument.
>>729150368SB sold 2m on console back when it came out and 1m in like a day when it launched on pc. We don't know how much it sold since then.
>>729150339Denuvo is the ultimate /v/ filter
>>729150873Probably good enough that the ceo got a presidential commendation
>>729148005Your AGP goon threads are not "discussion of a game" though
>>729150339>short-ish single player game with zero additional content based on ancient story everyone is intimately familiar with and no waifus or controversy whatsoever isn't talked about 24/7/365Say it ain't so!
If Stellar Blade wasn't a success then what does that say about your DEI flops?
>>729152157>ChineseEw.
>>729152157You know perfectly well arguing with big numbers is worthless when china is involved
>>729152157Wuchang needs non-chink costumes
>>729153254>America small indie country, please understand
>>729151070>PS5 console exclusiveWtf is this title? Is this Eruogamer?
>>729147126The potential exists but even in Shift-Up attention is split between Stellar Blade, Nikke and the upcoming Project Spirits that will start beta testing next year.If they do, they do then I hope they do a Nikke TPS with coo movement options but other gacha companies are unlikely to. MiHoYo once floated around the idea of doing a 2D fighting game but were quickly shut down.
>>729153797>coo movementCoo coo?
>>729147126I kinda doubt it. Even though Stellar Blade was very much so successful, in terms of income per effort spent surely a gacha where you just pump out characters and people gamble for them is a lot more lucrative. I'm surprised ShiftUp made SB in the first place, surely for these gacha companies investing effort into traditional games makes no business sense, so I don't expect others to follow suit.
>>729147126I think this thread is losing its focus. Consider the following: RAVEN SITTING ON MY FACE.
>>729154004It definitely had an effect. Look at all the coomer games being more brazen lately. This year we have wuchang. There's also tides of annihilation coming soon and vindictus defying fate.
>>729152157>leftBWC>rightBWC
>>729154004Nikke makes money on the costumes, not pulls. You literally don't have to spend.
>>729154139>tripfagging for coomslopSo dying alone.
I boughted for she
>>729151048this lol
