>>739659849>free>approachable>quality is generally "good enough">appeals to heterosexual mengg ez
>>739659849Cute anime girls are in extremely high demand and gacha games exploit this.
UOOOOOOOH
>>739660437
I wonder
>>739660127You forgot the part where they're made to resort to the same psychological tricks as slot machines. Quality is not good enough and nobody cares. The audience are 3rd worlders or kids who are too poor or too retarded to use anything but a smartphone
>>739659849It's the gambling. Cute girls help, but they don't account for young men doing the same shit with sports game gacha. I don't these people are jerking it or moeing out to Patrick Mahomes and Kylian Mbappe.

>>739659849gacha with femdom and findom when?
missing bbc and the boy blonde one
>>739660810Exactly. Gacha main appeal isn't necessarily sexual fanservice. Nobody here minds fanservice, or the trash gameplay for that matter. The common denominator of these games is the casino manipulative tricks. That's what defines gacha. Not "le based fanservice!!"
>>739661053>>739660810you guys realize the gacha part is like 0.1% of the game right?
>>739659849Iirc before covid it was a big meme in this board, but then genshit came and every waifufag makes threads about ithttps://arch.b4k.dev/v/search/text/"Genshin impact is the biggest hill operation on v"/
sorry. >>739661286https://arch.b4k.dev/v/search/text/"Genshin impact is the biggest shill operation on v"/
>>739660946Many people are asking this
>>739661980i feel like its such a good conceptimagine your waifu teasing you into spending more or laughing at your small bank balanceits ez pz
>>739659849Covid.That's it, it's just covid.
>>739660068who was this even made for.
>>739662028"Consumer rights groups" (read: the instruments of you-know-who) would decry such a game as "manipulative" and "immoral" - such denouncements would be utterly hypocritical and inane, for psyops instigated against the consumer are most certainly nothing new. Whence, then, the disgust and pearl-clutching for merely making a revelation of the rampant deceit?
>why are games that are literally being given away for free popular?Gee, I dunno, must be because the woke people are woking up all the other games with their wokity.
>>739659849cute and free!
>>739659849Younger zoomers, gen alpha, and 3rd worlders already grew up on mobile trash like minecraft, roblox and other shit. Gacha is actually a step up in some regards.The console market that dominated millennials is a tiny fraction of the market. PC players who play more than F2P slop like Gacha are even smaller.
>>739662250perhaps just make crypto the only payment method thenand host it in some country that doesn't give a fuck
>>739659849sex appeal, f2p, gambling, retention gimicks, available on largest platform (mobile). its pretty simple. they arent popular on merit.
>>739659849I don't really know, they're boring unless you just like reading visual novels all day. I've played flash games with deeper mechanics than gacha games. They're so braindead half of them come with an auto battle button. Even gacha that try to clone good games like GFL2 half ass it and make it too easy until endgame.
>>739660068This and payment processors.

>>739659849The perfect storm of Genshin Impact coming out during Covid and just a more general acceptance of Asian media in the 2020s, or so I think
>>739660068Sony's board of directors approved this, let that sink in
>>739662068Yes, Covid started the gacha success. But anon shouldn't western developers have been able to capture the gacha audience. With all the really great games they have made since covid? Like Dust Born, Concord, amd and Marathon.
>>739663562My first gacha was Raid Shadow Legends. I remember Jontron was shilling it. Needless to say I didn't stick around.I remember Dragalia Lost getting hype. A "Nintendo Mobile Game" (not really). And I liked that one. But I didn't really see it talked about outside mobile game circles.It really seems like Genshin Impact took it mainstream.
>>739659849Post genshitfags won't admit it but it was the big ip gachas like dokkan, fgo, naruto etc
Retarded nigger faggots buy gacha because they are perpetually horny and want to jerk off all the time, that's why all the discussion you hear of gacha is shit about which child the person wants to rape. That's literally all there is to talk about with the >>>games
>>739662361>Younger zoomers, gen alpha, and 3rd worlders already grew up on mobile trash like minecraft, roblox and other shit. Gacha is actually a step up in some regards.It's kind of a Harry Potter situation, isn't it? "At least they're reading".Actually, kids would probably get more value out of reading Reverse 1999 or Limbus Company than Harry Potter. At least those pay tribute to real literature.
>>739660127>>quality is generally "good enough"This is patently false though.
>>739660068This has to be top-3 cringiest webm to ever exist. Genuinely how does it even physically exist in the first place.
>>739659849rise of asians with disposable income and “left over” men
>>739665439Women and faggots is why it exists
>>739659849more like why did real women become so shitty and modern gaming so gay
1.4 billion chinks1.4 billion indians
>>739659849too many indians and south east asians in the world now, and they absolutely love ai-generated gachaslop
Gacha hasn't been popular outside of southeast asia, china, and japan since 2020. Sometimes a new one comes out and gets some twitch streamers to play it for a bit (NTE being the most recent one) but they quickly quit to go back to playing moba or battle royale slop.
>>739659849Hot women
>>739659849Who is she?Is she canonically always or regularly barefoot?
>>739660946It's been tried but couldn't work, gachafags are too fragile and want validation more than anything. Also gacha is meant to for a broader audience so it can't rely on niche perversions or it'll flop.
>>739659849dumb tranime addicts will spam it and defend it+ gambling addicts
>>739659990I want to be anime girls. I thought that was the main reason we liked these games?
>>739662203This is what happens when your market research algorithm scrapes data from millions of bots on twitter and cuckolds on reddit
>>739660910Toxic yuri...
>>739666349Wrong
>>739659849It would never take off it it wasn't for obsessively consumerist approach to entertainment media in east Asia and weebs getting assimilated by that mindset. They're used to spending more than reasonable for small extra benefits.
What the heck is up with this "imaginary friend" thing that keeps popping up in Genshin? Is everyone in Teyvat just schizophrenic?
>>739659849>add wife>people playshocking
cloudy up here innit
>>7396598491. Asians are becoming addicted to gambling since childhood.2. Anime aesthetics, which is the only one Asians employ en masse and which is also becoming increasingly popular in the West.3. Various levels of sexualization.
>>739659849Literally they're the only ones still doing good looking and nice characters. In all other games, it's all a bunch of uggos who treat you like shit
>>739659849Fuckton of content for freeEasy casual-friendly gameplayNo nu-western brainrot
>>739667835Prolly one of the shittiest reveal ever>years of mysterious login screen>its just a pathway to a mediocre zones, home of a bunch of immortal faggot who have fuck all to do with the msq>oh btw, the goddess in the intro is not around she left years ago
