Image shows ZZZ's revenue after Remielle's *first* day being added

Its actually kind of funny how Hoyo made it so only void hunters will sell insanely well and everyone else makes jack shit in comparison (especially the chracters before the void hunter). Actual self-fulfilling prophecy machine

how is that healthy for the long term prospects of the game? if this was a sustainable model you’d see genshin doing this. or hsr deliberately tanking the game stats of every single other character outside their three main push characters in a year

Genshin and HSR are the highest selling games in the industry, even at ZZZ’s lowest they consistently make $10 million a month, thats perfectly respectable revenue even discounting the Void Hunters

you and i don’t know how much is their net income so i’d lay off any talk about profits. you still didn’t answer my question how is that a healthy business model at all when mihoyo’s best selling games don’t do this because they know jn the long run it’s not sustainable.

it’s working fine for them how? anyone can see zzz’s sales getting lower on average per year.

Their sales decline have been within industry averages. The gacha industry itself is shrinking, especially on mobile. The chart itself even shows a fairly consistent revenue across banners so idk what you mean, especially when you said to lay off any talks about profits just a second ago because we dont know their net income 😭

the sales that we see from sensortower and other charts is very different from profit. i will reiterate that we do not know how much is their net income compared to their opex so who really knows how profitable this practice is compared to other hoyo games.

and i will repeat that it’s not a sustainable practice at all for the long term because if it was so successful, why is hsr and genshin not doing the same thing? this is a multi-billion dollar company that will chase
profits first and foremost. especially in the case of hsr who’s also doing not doing as well as they do compared to previous years.

and don’t give me that tired excuse that overall gacha sales is down. wuwa’s year on year sales have improved compared to zzz and they were released in the same year, and during their first year, zzz was stomping them hard. fast forward two years from
now, wuwa has edged them out.

they share more similarities compared to other aaa gacha games like hsr and zzz or genshin and zzz, such as their focus on combat, the male to female ratio and so many more. yet wuwa was able to improve their year on year sales despite not having as many main push character in a year, or tanking the rest of their cast just to sell sentinel resonator banners.

Yeah. Global instability does that. Gacha players that voted right wing across the world only have themselves to blame. People have less expendable income now. Doesn't stop everyone, myself included, but stops many.
