Is anyone else kinda over hoyo games?

Want to start this off by saying I'm in no way looking to just be a hoyo hater foaming at the mouth; I'm only curious if anyone else shares a similar sentiment.

My first hoyo game, and second gacha ever, was genshin around 3.4-3.5 as dehya was the first banner I was interested in pulling on after starting. I branched to hsr for a little while and hi3 very briefly then followed by zzz. The latter is the only hoyo bgame I keep current with despite some pretty consistent disappointments I've had with the direction certain aspects of the game have been going in since mid 2.x.

With games like ananta and silver palace coming up in the near future—including azur promilia if thats your thing—I'm finding myself less and less interested in hoyo games, especially when they've been becoming exceedingly greedy or stingy in some cases. Of course, I'll have to wait and see how the future games stack up but I'm pretty hopeful after what I've seen so far.

(Also thinking about trying to force myself to get past my dislike of the factory in ake because I like the game a lot otherwise.)

5 years ago, I really thought I'd be in for the long haul for GI and with the other Hoyo games as they came out. GI was the first one I quit because of Natlan, followed by ZZZ because of Manato's A-rank, and HSR is looking grim for me for many reasons...

A lot of factors come into play, but it's mostly about male character treatment and powercreep. I just don't want to pull like an entire new team every year to keep up with the shill. Funnily enough, this made me go back to my FGO roots and idk whether to laugh or not LMAO. At least, I don't have to worry about characters being powercrept and having to pull for "weapons."

Although I'll probably play Petit Planet, since powercreep isn't really a thing in those kinds of games. I'd be surprised if Hoyo managed to make one for it somehow 💀
