Cute anime girls are in extremely high demand and gacha games exploit this.

You 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
>>
>>739659849
It'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.

Exactly. 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!!"

you guys realize the gacha part is like 0.1% of the game right?

"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.

cute and free!

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.

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.
>>
>>739662250
perhaps just make crypto the only payment method then
and host it in some country that doesn't give a fuck
>>
>>739659849
sex appeal, f2p, gambling, retention gimicks, available on largest platform (mobile). its pretty simple. they arent popular on merit.
>>
>>739659849
I 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.

>>739660068
This and payment processors.

The 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

Sony's board of directors approved this, let that sink in

>>739662068
Yes, 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.

My 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.
>>
>>739659849
Post 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

>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.

This is patently false though.

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.

Is she canonically always or regularly barefoot?

It'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.

It 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?

1. 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.
