Why they are too afraid to make a Pure, Offline, Full Priced, Single Player game ??????Every single one of their """"game"""" is Character/Weapon Gacha with shitty artifact grinding
why you are esl
>>746178819because i am esl duh
>>746178719Because low IQ browns love "F2P" slop. They then proceed to slave away in-game grinding dailies and optimizing their sleep patterns around the limited energy systems to earn a "free gacha roll", or end up spending 10x the cost of a regular video game (and both are not exclusive).
>>746178719Sadly they'd lose money. Gachatards produce too much profit.
>>746178719Because "Pure, Offline, Full Priced" games make much less than any Gacha-slop with predatory microtransactions ever would.It's all about exploiting their mentally ill player base.
>>746179121Its still amaze me they have like 10 of those Live Service Gacha still up until today
>>746178719because their fanbase can’t afford real hardware
>>746178719Hoyoverse is a corporation, and in a freak twist on every motivation known to humankind, they like money and want to make as much of it as they can.Seriously, we get so many of these "why doesn't gacha company make a single player offline game?!" posts, that we might as well start regurgitating the old Unicef jokes for fags like you again.
Hoyoverse is the best video game company active right now. how does that make you feel OP?How does it make you feel knowing they could do a Psychonauts gacha and more money off of it than 1 & 2 combined?How does it feel knowing it'd be a 3d platformer with team swap mechanics to help you tranverse puzzles and an open world mind with regular content updates driven by character and skin sells?how does it feel 90% of the characters would be female becasue they sell better?how does it feel knowing that future of gaming is chinese live service games becasue the west has unironically stopped making entertainment in favour of making things they hope will make the world a better place.well they are making the world a better place op, a better place for russia, suadia arabia and china. and every other large economic country who is seeking to fill the gap that the west has created by deciding to make propaganda isntead of entertainment.How does it feel OP? How does it feel?
Didnt they just announce an elden ring like today at gamescon called nodusfall?
>>746179459they did
>>746179375Best Video game company at making money ? SureMaking games ? Lmao no
>>746178719Why you ask? Hoyoverse practices Stop Killing Games' values.
>>746179649What are you talking about? If this game EoS, it's gone for good.
>>746178719Because gacha games make more money?
>>746178719they know their audience (subhumans)
>>746179649Sent that freak flying.
>>746179375>implying they'll ever make anything other than cookie cutter gacha slop or souls slop cause that's the only thing they can rip off
>>746178719What the fuck do you mean afraid retard?It makes them more money to make it gacha. What is there to be afraid of?
>>746180795For a video game company they sure never make a proper video games
>afraidyes, those billions of dollars they are raking in every year means they are totally afraid. you stupid faggot>>746180795hes a retard using loaded language because its a reddt tactic of passive aggressiveness, like when dems make a bullshit leading question or headline to shit smear about trump or something. they can't ever be honest with the reality of the situation, they are the losers like OP is.>>746181172they are producing more new IPs and supporting them than any other publisher on the planet, dipshit. you're just a pathetic cuck crying about china for the 30th time in less than 3 hours on this board
>>746181471>new IPElden Ring Hunter Obscur is not a new IP, nor does Breath of The Anime May Cry.Do something fresh.Also they are Online Only Live Service Gacha. <---- Does not count as Video game
>>746178719They cant make a good game. They cant write a good story. They cant stop ripping off other works. They cant stop the influx of gachaniggers money. Lastly, they are also chinesse, they cant make anything genuinely creative or good.
>>746178719Because gachashit makes more money. Money which they can then use to build nuclear reactors and shit (and also to make more gachashit).
>>746184310More like Nuclear Warheads
>>746184786No, it's reactors for now. Not that i care about the details, i'm just trying to make OP understand that yes, corporations which exist solely to make money, will indeed continue to pursue what makes the most money. The fact that the end product is garbage doesn't matter if it sells anyway.
>>746185030>>746184786They also invest AI, robotics and china's space program. You're fucking stupid if you think that a billion dollar company like mihoyo would just settle with vidya gaymes. The reason companies like Sony for example can afford to get stinkers like concord is because their movie division just made 2 billion dollars with the new spiderman movie.
>>746178719They are a bunch of inexperienced idealists and you can literally see this happening in their games like genshin, hsr, and zzz.Their main motto is literally 'tech otaku saves the world', meaning that they dont care about conventional video games design that appeal to mass audience, they create gacha for the sake of gacha because they like it, not because you like it. Its either you have to like it or you leave, not a single room left for you at all.
>>746185030Hope you get luigi'd. Fucking shareholders i swear
>>746185497I simply leave. What you gonna do about it, huh ?????
>>746178719Is that soulslop a gacha too? Lmao
>>746185736Soulslop and Animal Crossingslop lol
>why doesn't this company make something that will bring them less money??you guys aren't very bright huh...
>>746185901>why doesnt this company make something that will bring them more recognition from the fans??you guys aren't very bright huh...
>>746180178>implying you can think of a well-selling genre other than those.
Why do you guys shit on Hoyo when their path is just copy-pasted from Cygames?
>>746186219Cygames makes an proper single player video games. And also an anime too.
>>746185953Fans? the ones shitting on them were not their fans to begin with?
>>746186290Isn't genshin having an anime as well?
>>746186357Definitely just a 12 episodes ads instead of proper Anime. Cygames makes Akiba Maid Sensou.
>>746186294I barely seeing ZUN getting shitted at. This is why For The Fans >>>>>>>>>> For The Money.
>>746185953>a singleplayer game that will be over in 70 hours will bring them more recognition than something like genshin impact that has been dominating for 6 yearsare you really this stupid?
>>746179756Hoyo hasn’t EoS any of their games yet. Even their fucking ancient Honkai Academy 2 is still getting story updates in CN even though it only has a couple thousand players at most.
>>746186290Yeah? But ther were able to make those because they had a lot of gacha games:1. RoB2. Granblue3. Cinderella Girls4. Pricunny5. Dragalia (dead)6. World Flipper (dead)7. Shadowverseagainst Hoyo's...1. Honkai Impact 3rd2. Genshin Impact3. Tears to Themis4. Zenless Zone Zero5. Honkai Star Rail
>>746186472>People still talking about Half Life to this day>People still talking about MGS to this day>People still talking about GTA to this dayWow you really this stupid huh
>>746178719Because chinks think it's a good thing that you can pay to win
>>746186556So what does Hoyo made with their Gachamoney besides another Gachaslop ???
>>746186578half life and mgs are both dead and my dude, you know full well that GTA6 is going to be big because of GTA Online 2. GTAV makes billions of dollars because of shark cards.
>>746186656They just released a game, right?
>>746186290cygames games all suck ass though.
>>746186578Most discussion on half life is just where is 3. Doesn’t count as actual game discussion.
>>746186656See >>746185030They are funding nuclear reactors.
>>746179270Thos is /v/, a company is only allowed to like making money if it's from Asia. Except Nintendo, obviously.
>>746186657>>746186719Did you miss the weekly half life thread ?Did you miss MGS4 thread yesterday ?Did you think GTA 6 and 5 is the only game that discussed here ?
>>746186730Okay ? So whats does a GAMING company do with building nuclear reactors ? Should they use their resources to make a proper single player game ????
>>746186656Legitimately nuclear power unlike the shitty western gaming companies, you could go after ANY gaming company but hoyo for this anon.
>>746178719Why is /v/ so scared of live service games?>noooo I want the full experience NOWYou don't want new tv shows? Read manga or watch ongoing anime? Read ongoing book series? Why are you so upset about this format in games specifically
>>746186847Goalpost moving faggot
>>746186857WOW ! So cool !! What does it have to do with VIDEO GAMES though ?????
>>746186874>He left out the MoviesLol
>>746186936So you dont have anything to counter my argument then. Mihoyo is just another evil company #523
>>746186874Like I could see if it was shitty stuff like every single sports game that has gacha, p2w, and have to pay 100+ for the base game but OP is a fucking retard and ignores that
>>746186847Because you're mistake is thinking they're just a gaming company. Mihoyo is literally a branch of the CCP, and they fund and make things like robotics technology and rockets.That's like thinking companies like bandai namco only makes tekken and dragon ball games when they also have pachinko, gachapon, gunpla and other model kit toy lines.
>>746178719Even if they did, it'd be just a third-person unreal engine action game.
>>746187029
>>746186802more people talk about 1 (one) genshin character than both half life and metal gear combined so idk what you're trying to sayalso gta is popular right now because of a new release, and 5 wouldn't have been talked about so much if it didn't had online mode
>>746187040Before the merge Namco is just gaming company. BANDAI is the one who makes what you said.Makes me wonder though. Are you defending Hoyoverse as a company or are you condemn for what they done ?
>>746187163I know they are capitalistic company that does what a company does, make and produce things that make money.
>>746187141>TalkMore like shitpostBut anyway. The Number of thread on this mongolian weaving forum doesnt determine the game is popular or not
>>746187040It’s like how people think Sony is just the ps5, they make manga, anime, movies, TVs, shows, and so many other things that when I see someone saying Sony or Microsoft are dying I can’t help but laugh. They have their fingers in so many pies that they legitimately can not die and make billions each year
>>746187231then what does?
>>746187380The one that stick on your brain for the rest of your life. Thats what actual popularity of the game is. I really doubt people still remember who Jean is today lmao
>>746187521ET on the NES stuck to people's brain for decades because it was so dogshit they can't forget itdoes that make it popular?
>>746187637Yes. In bad way
>>746187673so, should companies make complete dogshit games then? since popularity is what matters according to you
>>746187932No. Just make a good game that stand test of time. Do you think Genshin gonna last for another 10 years ? People already starting to sick of genshin nowadays.Pragmata is one of legitimately good game that will stand the test of time.
>>746188113>Do you think Genshin gonna last for another 10 yearsprobablyit's still going strong 6 years after release>Pragmatalmaook i'm done talking with you
>>746188113NTA but you really need to leave your bubble if you think genshin impact isn’t one of the most popular games in the world and making hoyo billions each year just on the game alone. I swear /v/ gets dumber and dumber each year.
>>746188540Its really not. Its only popular for non gamers and dumb office workers. Same with its other clones and such. Did you see an actual people who play video games religiously discuss genshin ?>>746188271Its a good game, Try it. You play video games, right ??
>>746188762>people who play video games religiouslythose manchildren only care about beating a title and moving to the next one to consume consume consumeit's why they hate live service games with a story because their adhd won't allow them to engage with that type of content
>>746188904Ironic given you do dailies and go to the next game and do other dailies . Be sure you think twice of what you said before hitting that "Post" button
>>746189056listen to your own advice because what you just said makes no sense in this context
>>746188762my dude, genshin has fucking fan events all around the world and every cosplay convention has dozens if not hundreds of genshin cosplayers. What are you even about?
>>746189124For casuals not for gamers>>746189104Did i stutter ? You dissing people finishing single player games quickly then go into next thing, yet you playing 5 gachas and do dailes and into the next dailes and into next.Except in single player case. Theres an ending. Did you ever see a gacha game ending ?? EoS didnt count lol
>>746189356>you playing 5 gachastake your pills and stop assuming
>>746189356Wait a fucking second are you that faggot Shin? If so kill yourself
>>746178719They are a company driven by profit that has more than 2k employees.You also need to be 18+ to post here.
>>746189356>For casuals not for gamersgames are a normality now, retardthere's no such thing as dedicated "gamers" anymore, everyone under 25 plays stuff
>>746189418You defending gachas really hard and dissing a proper single player game and unronically defending live service games. Its easy to assume you play more than one gacha game.>>746189465Who ?
>>746179459>co-opsurely that is a decision made for the betterment of the gameplay experience, and not so that they can sell skins for you to show off to other players
>>746189509the difference between you and me is that i play gachas, singleplayers and competitive games just fine and can see each of their appeal, while you sperg out against the games you dislike as if that will change my opinion about them
>>746189931No, i just dont see appeal of Gachas. I dont even consider Gachas as video games. did you consider slot machine as Arcade games ? Nope.So. How many gachas youre interacting with ? ( i refuse to say play because they are not video games) Genshin and ZZZ ? Any more ??
>serious gamers>metal gear>half life>GTA
>>746190964Try playing Metal Gear Solid 3 in European Extreme Try Finishing half life with a pistolTry finishing GTA san andreas with hardcore mod
>>746179185Sunk cost fallacy. Freedom is always one button away. I uninstalled every gacha I was playing last year and haven't looked back since.
>>746179375well i think chinese games fucking suck and will forever suck, becauae they will never deliver on one aspect of gaming, that is the masculine urge to play a brutal power fantasy where i can maim, blast off and sever my enemies head with loads of splatter. no chinese game will ever deliver on that because chinks are too sanitized and chip-shouldered to make something overtly violent. devs like platinum and new blood however? they absolutely can, and there's no limp wristed waifufag marketshare that can get in between that. pozzed AAA westernslop isn't even in the equation.
>>746191134>handicapped challengesyou can do that with any game
make game that doesnt print free moneyor make a game that does... difficult...
>>746191916Ah yes Genshin Tower is very challenging
>>746191760what gacha do you sugggest?
>>746178719they are the most jewish company on earth man
>>746192229
>>746192320kek
>>746192320289 dollars? wow that's roughly as much as one character costs on average in genshit if you dare to not login every day
>>746192534why would i not play the game if i like it? the scam price is made for streamers and normalfags that come by every once in a while
Name one original thing this company has ever made
>>746192675not about if you like the game or not (I do in fact like the game), the point is hoyo are greedy scum and use psychological tactics to prey on the (retarded) masses, they don't deserve half of the money they've made especially since they used it to make dogshit like HSR, ZZZ, petit planet and whatever other predatory slop they've got cooking
>>746192959the retarded masses are MADE to be preyed on though, and i would rather they use their money to fund my free game instead of wasting it on whatever the fuck catches their double digit iq's attention, because one way or another they WILL be preyed on by someone
anime f2p is the asian equivalent of western AAA. zero fucking depth of gameplay. 1000% spectacle targeted at people who can't play games. pay attention at how both AAAfags and gachafags complain when they play something that requires actual gameplay interaction beyond insta killing shit with big number or mashing the same attack for 3 hours straight
>>746178719>Try it despite what /v/ says>Its actually goodhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/2490990/Visions_of_Mana/Remember to avoid what /v/tard says. This place has been plagued by chinks.
>>746186708There is literally no chinese game I have ever played that is better than GBF Relink and I think that game is basically just monster hunter married with PSO gameplay.If you think there's some obscure indie hidden gem from china please do rec it cause it's abundantly clear the big chinese corpos are unable to create anything with soul
>>746193178well yeah both target casuals aka the largest demographic
>>746193336and that is why gachafags shouldn't get a pass. they are as bad for gaming as ball and gun tards
>>746192959you did not come to that conclusion yourself
>>746193692How much yuan you got for working at Hoyo, shill ?
>>746193770that one isn't yours either, do you have any original thought, drone?
>>746178719gacha game formula worked for them, so now they keep spamming it
>>746194171So tell your thought to us then Chang since Dawei cock is so tasty for (You). Why Hoyoverse is one of the best and the oh-so-generous company ever ?????
>>746194317>So tell your thought to usFucking dirty ESLs calling anyone a Chang or Pajeet will never not be funny
>>746194615What do you like about Dawei's cock ?
>So tell your thought to us
>>746194790You know you can play games without sucking cock right? Is that not customary where you come from
>>746192059Genshin does have a hard endgame, yes. Meant for whales
>>746194992he is french so he's mindbroken beyond saving, it's hyperfixation on abdullah's cock, many such cases
>>746178719Ah it's like we're back in 2020.Players seething at Mihoyo creating a temu botw/eldenring monster hunerThe game will be good at least
>>746197747Did you see the leak ? Its just genshin with Elden Ring Paint
>>746192320One character, not counting his weapon, costs $2k in genshin.
>>746201153>One character, not counting his weapon, costs $2k in genshin.
>>746178719you know, i'm just gonna say it; artifact grinding is good, actually. at least in the world of gacha shit, few things are really better. for a slow burn power climb, i like grid building in GBF, but it's waaaaaay too slow burn and grind-y really, and they've completely lost the 3 niggas in a row vibe as all you do is refresh page and repeat the same thing 10,000 times to make any progress, the "gameplay" is totally irrelevant at this point.artifact grinding in genshin is a clever way to not be able to develop infinite content but still keep people infinitely engaged, if they want. because you can do 99.99% of content with nothing but the correct set bonuses, and then you can work on minmaxing the actual rolls as much or little as you want.>>746199332sounds cool
>>746201153it also costs $0
>>746203452And how long will it take you to get c6 character?
>>746203675why would you do that?
play Genshin Impact please~
>>746202465Do the math dumbass
Whenever i feel down i see retard like this >>746202960
>>746178719the company is worth 25bi. I think they know what they are doing
>>746203791Too 100% the game of course. Can you do that with a fucking Amber ????????
>>746201153>>746203675I have never ever ever played a gacha : the movie
>>746204648At scamming and taking advantage of human fomo of course
>>746204668Not him but I do the math long time ago. Its not $2000, its about $500 to $750 to C6 a SINGLE character (assuming you have shit luck) (Weapons excluded)Still 10 times more expensive than AAA video games. But of course being a Dawei dicksucker you gonna defend this. Because why ?? You already fell too deep anon.
>>746178719>UGH WHY ARE THEY GIVING ME YEARS OF FREE ENTERTAINMENT I WANT TO PAY FOR SHIT INSTEAD
>>746204662the only purpose a c6 has is to allow you to finish stygian quick enough to get that shitty weapon skin, a purely cosmetic itemmany other games have a cosmetic item that's worth a shit ton of money, like league with those $500 skins or csgo, or apex, etc, these rich player traps have been a thing since trading cardsto include them in the standard playthrough of a game is plain retarded
>>746204903>Thinking you need C6 characters to play the game normally in 99.9% of cases (aka outside ot ultra shilled whale modes any normal person just ignores)I have NEVER EVER played a gacha in my entire life : the movie
>>746205217I did play Genshit up to Inazuma before dropping it because how FOMO it was. Even the fucking Story is FOMOfied>>746205010I dont know about Later characters but Zhongli is extremely powerful at C5 aboveNo wonder Hoyo makes millions
>>746178719>>746179185A better question is why no one else tries to do a "pure, offline, full priced" game in that vein.Like it's obviously hugely successful. Some of the games even have decent gameplay, they're not carried entirely by their shitty waifu simulators. They make SO much fucking money that even if a standard pricing model gets you 10% of their profit you'd still be sitting pretty with a functional, financially secure studio, and you could sleep soundly lying to yourself that your audience isn't incels.So has no one else done it? Is there really no one with an ethical bone left in the global gaming industry?
>>746204948>GREENTEXT WITH CAPS LOCK ON SO YOUR POINT IS WRONG MKAY ?????
>>746205612See CashnadoIts similar thing with Zoomers. This is their Cashnado
>>746204903>Not him but I do the math
>>746205735No argument except the indian word. Every single time. I wonder what youre like in real life. I can already imagine it
>>746178719Because picrel can't afford consoles and computers
>>746178719zzz tanked so hard after the flop that 2.5 was that they had to pump out another game in desperation
>>746205996Im really doubt those countries can make Hoyos millions
>>746206113they can't, but they're loud and annoying so the investors think they canwhich resulted in zzz flopping massively
>>746206196>which resulted in zzz flopping massivelytldr?
Genshin and HSR on Switch 2 when?
>>746206509It sadly only makes hoyo 10's of millions $ instead of 100's of millions $. You are replying to a schizo btw.
>>746206509It didn’t. We already know ZZZ earns more than HSR on Playstation and PC. But people only look at the made up mobile numbers.,
>>746206509It doesn't make as much as Genshin but still makes a shit ton of money and gets a lot of merchandise and promotional stuff, which of course means it flopped.
>>746205996They don't make them money but they are good advertisement. I know because they spam gachashit here for free.
Gachafags really funny because when they shill their game its always about their Sales numbers instead of actual gameplay
>>746186290>>746186357>>746186387>ok we'll make an anime>but we will NEVER EVER EVER NEVER have stakes, an ending or character development outside the game
>>746178719Hoyo means asshole in Spanish
>>746207547that's all games on this board thoughno one actually talks about gameplay stuff, just sales and player stats
>>746206767>>746206843>>746206898holy cope
>>746207593Since you being so retarded : THE 37 YEAR OLD MAID MAIN CHARACTER DIES IN THE END AND PIC RELATED BECOME A CRIPPLE
>>746207826not game related
>>746207921dont care
>>746209073i'm sorry for your loss
>>746178719Gacha makes more money.
>>746206113Wealth inequality is their game so I think 20% can.
>>746178719a single whale can end up being worth thousands of players that'd buy the game or purchase characters for a flat price.if for every thousand players the game attracts one whale willing to spend whatever it takes to max out every new character and weapon, then they've made profit over selling that game for 60 dollars to those thousand players.for example with genshin>genesis crystals - the premium currency>the best deal gives you 80.81 crystals per US dollar.>can be converted to primogems at a 1:1 ratio, and wishes cost 160 primogems>for the sake of simplicity lets just say 1 wish = 2 dollars>the 5* rate is 0.6%, but starting at wish 73 the rate drastically increases due to pity and becomes 100% at 90 wishes. for the sake of simplicity lets just say that the average 5* pull is at 70 wishes.>every banner features one promotional 5*. your first 5* pull has a 50% chance of being the promo character, if you do not hit the coinflip the second is guaranteed to be the promo character. so lets just say you hit your desired 5* every 105 pulls (70+35)>to max out a character you need to pull them 7 times, that means ~735 pulls for 1470 dollars.>promo 5*s cannot be gotten outside of their respective banners, so every one needs to be whaled for separatelyone promo character earns them 1.47K USD per whale, genshin has 57 promotional 5*s right now.every genshin whale has dumped around 80 thousand dollars into characters alone, and thats not including the weapon gacha.suppose instead they sold characters for a flat 10 dollars.most people would buy 1-2, stick with what they like, and leave it at that.it'd take ~5-6K normal players to match the profit from one whale off of characters alone.there's also lower spenders that are far more common, like those that just max out one character.sadly, there are enough people willing to dump their life savings into one gacha that'll get EoS'd eventually to make this a highly profitable practice.
>>746201153One character, with the absolute worst luck, will cost somebody at most around $400. It's still absurd so there's really no reason to lie so egregiously.
>>746211862
>>746212506>$400c1 maybe, c6 is about 2k
How come gacha criticism comes from actual retards that can't even figure out the game and have tons of misconceptions and misunderstandings about the game? And why does all of that criticism boils down to their own inability to control basic impulses (like fomo, completionism, etc)???Are we okay with this gamersisters?
why are gachafags like this?
>>746178719Simple answer is they're addicted to money and care more about profits than art.
>>746178719Gacha makes more money. The stated goal of the company is to make a VR MMO in which over 1 billion people decide to live. Sword Art Online being the inspiration. They've got a partnership with a brain-computing interface research lab to figure it out. They need big pockets to make it a reality.
>>746213675But for now all the money goes to the CCP
>>746178719chinks and jews are the same
>>746212828We're not talking about maxing a character. The absolute hard pity is 90. So if you lose the 50/50 and get taken to the hard pity both times you'll need 180 summons. $100 only buys 50 summons. So, around $400 if you have the most impossibly bad luck.
>>746215220why are you explaining the game to a retard that couldn't even be bothered to have a look at the system before screeching about it?he doesn't care, he isn't going to change his mind, it has nothing to do with the actual game and gameplay
>>746178719Is the joke that they just did that?
>>746215982Where?
>>746179756NTA but surprisingly enough, we can't say for sure. The only game they ever had that ceased updates, Zombiegal Kawaii, is still donwloadable and fully playable offline. You do need an iOS 10 or earlier device (32 bit) but still.
>>746192943Not copying the garbage that is Falco into their games.Transcend is better btw.
>>746207680>mihoyo means myasshole in spanish>when they changed names to hoyoverse we all joked about mihoyo expandingGood times
>>746205612The only country that could theoretically do it is Japan. As for why they haven't bothered to try, I dunno. I think it's their old boomer CEOs that don't want to take any risks. They're basically letting Chinks rugpull the entire anime video game playerbase from right under their own feet.
>>746216087Nodusfall which is apparently supposed to be like Monster Hunter instead of a gacha
>>746215220>>746215551Why are you trying to defend this vile monetization, you get paid for it in primogems?
>>746217398Japan is content with cycling established IP PNG collectors that EoS after a year
>>746217447>multiplayerLook like you fail
>>746178719>Why they are too afraid to make a Pure, Offline, Full Priced, Single Player game ??????becasue it would make them less money.
>>746217496It's cheaper than battlefront 2 on release, lolGuess that one was gacha too
>game is the size of like 5 regular games>never included in the price comparisons
the success of genshin impact has buckbroken so many people.
>>746178719Because if they did filthy Slavs, spics and other undesirable "people" would immediately steal the game
>AfraidThey cracked the code. A company is designed to make money, not "change history" or whatever.
>>746219952Nobody cares about gacha games except third worlders that can't play anything else due to owning only a phone.
>>746178719Because you should have a look at gacha revenue and tell me with a straight face that it's not impressive. It's the best effort to profit ratio ever. These "games" fucking suck and just cannot be high maintenance yet rake in tens of millions each month.You don't kill the gold egg laying goose.
>>746178719If your company execs are on the CCP board (which Mihoyo's are as of 2021) then the governing body mandates that your video game product is (1) classified a chinese cultural export and (2) that said cultural export provides an income stream of a set number of years to meet the financial threshold that the government set else the product gets cut while majority of profit goes to the board, and not the company itself. It functions as a financial gate you have to meet before the company is granted more liberties on their product.
>>746178719They'll get executed by the Chinese government.
>>746217496I'm not defending it. I called it absurd. Flat out lying about it serves no purpose and undermines that point.
>>746222780>These "games" fucking suck and just cannot be high maintenanceyou have zero clue about what you're yapping about
>>746178719Because you didn't punish them
>>746224325No, he's absolutely right, genshin barely has gameplay, they make like 6 boss fights a year and that's it
>>746219952This desu
>>746178719They get way more money exploiting gacha whales.
>>746224413So about the same as WoW & FFXIV manage to do with a monthly subscription, Expansion cost & Cash shops.
>>746224325don't defend lazy devsmaking children puzzles doesn't cost billions
>>746212584You just saw all the text and went immediately to your reaction image folder without actually reading anything. All he did was work out the math on how much a retarded whale dumps into the game which explains why chink companies will NEVER abandon the gacha model and make a single player game. He's correct too. Why make a single player game when you can make a gacha with a shit ton of players who are willing to drop hundreds or even thousands into the game?
what is this retard doing?
>>746185030>gacha games are funding nuclear reactors in china>games developed in communist china are less marxist than western oneswtf is this timeline
>>746204662https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txi9BZO-CeAYes.
>>746224808fishe things
>>746222465You're very upset for someone who doesn't care lmao
Uhhh Hoyosissies, this is your game?https://x.com/lanxre/status/2092671238149701684
>>746178719Why would you. Gachas are money printers. Genshit probably makes more money with a micro patch that just adds two new characters (with a shit drop chance) than a singleplayer game would in its lifetime.The time that you paid a lot of money upfront and got a finished, polished product are over. Why take that financial risk?
>>746225096yes, and its still better than dei infested westoidslop
>>746225441Cult
>>746225472not my fault the bar has been set so low
>>746225096that's called soul
>>746179756Thing is that all of their games are functionally singleplayer. The amount of money they've invested paired with what their games are would make way more sense releasing as a standalone game with tweaked paid mechanics instead of keeping up the servers if it ever came to that. The Battle Cats has a standalone version for example as does Rockman X Dive, and Little Noah got converted from gacha title to a standalone Switch title.There's no reason to believe EoS for games of this level would be it just due to how they're structured. They're not MMOs, they're not autobattling card games, they're actual singleplayer open world games.
>>746186357Anime, lol how many years since hoyo announced this, and every year since there will be an anime someday, maybe.
>make kino exploration game>retards "buying" (leasing) anime waifus fund its endless growthNo problems detected. These people would have dropped their money on the road, been scammed by a cult or thrown their money into slot machines anyway. I get cool landscapes to find, gullible people fund chinese infrastructure, everyone wins.
>>746224808bin chillin'why is the sign text backwards?did they just take the latin alphabet, mirror it, add some dots and say "it's a fantasy language!"
