how did this company became worth more than 3 times than the entirety of Valve in such a short amount of time?

they made a high enough quality game that ticked enough of the boxes that people seemed to want that they spent money on it.
Valve steals 30%, none of Hoyoverse games are available in steam. This proofs that Valve hurts small companies and you do not need Valve Corporate to sell games.
Apple/Google steals the 30% instead
Well no, they have contracts with them, developers can negotiate contracts. Valve doesn’t do such things and demands $100 each game, 30% each sales and refuses to do anything. Valve only makes deals with publishers not the developers, the publishers get paid, not developers, the publishers signed contracts for promotional advantage, not developers.
Nobody is forcing them to do business with steam.
I like that I only have to give one company my credit card info in order to perform purchases in any of my games. Developer cuts isn't any of my concern
Ah, yes keep your credit card on Steam website and believe Valve would not mishandled it.
They mishandled it: https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/steam-game-service-hacked-credit-card-theft-investigated-flna119121
Since then it happen every year since Steam became open to public. Don’t trust them.
based, but this is a valvetroon board and they worship and dickride that company like crazy
Honkai is on Steam, but it's so small that it doesn't matter
>This proofs
no it doesn't, moron esl-kun. something something correlation/causation
>they made a high enough quality game
which game? all their "games" are shitty gacha as
Maybe you're the one who is shitty.
Chinks.
Have you seen this fricking board? They probably coom 23/7
and this
its literally a gambling machine thats not age restricted.
gacha games wont exit 10 years from now and if they do they will be heavily taxed and regulated like real casinos.
That's what valve tried to do with lootboxes, the difference is that they failed while mihoyo succeed
People can just buy guns, it doesn’t matter anymore.
you can buy the items directly through steam trade.
also tf2 and csgo are for adults, genshin is for literal tweens.
>gacha games wont exit 10 years from now and if they do they will be heavily taxed and regulated like real casinos.
Yeah just like physical card packs.
yugioh is more up to standards with regulations than gacha games are. every yugioh pack explicitly states the odds and its always checked by a third party. you can also resell them. none of this happens in gacha games you have to "trust them" but there have been others that been caught manipulating rates like Dokken and PSO2.
>yugioh is more up to standards with regulations than gacha games are
even Master Duel?
Even Master Duel.
@673922208
moron.
Master Duel states their odds plainly and you can craft cards.
With Duel Links you're always guaranteed the card in the pack at least once by clearing out the box. Anything more is a bonus.
If you can't make money, it's not gambling, it's just moronation
You are guaranteed to lose your money rolling gacha girls because you get nothing real
The moment you put money in the system, you lost it
>gacha games wont exit 10 years from now
bruh
If you can get every person in china to give you $1 you are now a billionaire.
>take 30% of almost every online video game sale
>overtaken by one gacha 3x over
i don't believe it
Valve was worth $7.7 billion in 2022 might be a bit more now but its still a huge gap.
Habeeb it.
It's almost like they made an extremely popular game that proved that gachas can survive in a "real gaming enviroment"
Anime breasts.
and ass
Chinks market is huge
pic related makes x10 more than what Mihomosexual makes inform China alone but it is from Tencent so trannies in r/gachagaming never talk about it
no such a thing in Genshin tho
It's a gacha so it's guaranteed to make money, the difference was that it looked enough like a real game to catch people who don't usually play mobages, genshin was baby's first gacha for a lot of people
>It's a gacha so it's guaranteed to make money,
There are signifigantly more failed gachas than there are successful ones.
For every Genshin Impact, you get a dozen Love Live School Idol Festivals that will announce EoS at the same time as their global launch.
Companies should be hopeful their game last more than a year, because so many games came out in 2022 and 2023 and aren't even playable anymore.
most gacha are made with a shoestring budget on android and iphone. its okay if one fails because its literally like ds/psp game tier. the ones that take big AAA risks like sega doing pso2 or sakura wars gacha and failing are the ones that hurt most.
They made good games
It's actually that simple
No it isn't, there are loads of gacha games that reach EoS really fast because they lose money instead of making money
pantyhose.
This guy gets it

>i have a standard for america and a different standard for china
we know
Botw exploration, characters people want to have sex with, and horrible pull rates to encourage spending.
huh...where have I heard something like this before...
>second-largest property developer
How is it only $16.2 billion?
How do we stop the chinese?
By ignoring them. Everything out of the Chinese Ministry of Finance is a flat-out lie
Why stop them? USA needs a fairly sizable threat to keep them at bay. Who knows what mutts will do once they are the sole superpower? World domination maybe.
They were the sole superpower in the 1990s and even most of the 00's.
seriously, that decade between fall of USSR and 9/11 is easily the best era of human history
The greatest geopolitical mistake the US has ever made was not just feeding the entirety of Europe into the soviet meatgrinder. You homosexuals really deserve to be stuffed into gulags for the rest of eternity. I hope the Chinks invade and enslave you, zoomer Americans have no will to fight in foreign expeditionary wars so there'll be nobody to stop the CCP.
Why hate Europe so much, Hernandez?
Mad they’re not going to be represented in kingdom come 2
The PLA is an absolute joke, a regiment of drunk swiss grandpas armed with bolt actions would be enough to put a stop to whatever it is that they would be doing.
why do we need to?
Stop playing League of Legends and feeding them money it goes straight to their pharma and money laundering with real estate in US/Canada.
In 10 years you'll know they are already the hegemon.
by making a good game
janny being permanently assmad about it and deleting any discussion threads is proof of that
>by making a good game

said no one ever and I played it for two years thanks to the sunkcost
course you did lol
good luck finding a picture of someone else's account to try and prove it now
not gonna bother searching for the triple-crowned Noelle pic or logging in hoyolab because whatever I post you shill will deflect it
>Noellegay
Explains everything lmao
2 years of unga bunga would drive anyone mad
>Noellegay
LMAO
I hope you didn't murdered cats like nahidagays over the game shipping your waifu with another male
holy samegayging schizo
what does this make you feel?
LMAO YOU GOT KEKED TO DEATH
I genuinely wonder how many male players got filtered by all the shipping between the male and female characters from Sumeru to Fontaine
>I genuinely wonder how many male players got filtered by all the shipping
Genshin lost %60 of its male players in Japan at the end of Sumeru. They migrated to HSR and Nikke
it is mainly played by teenage girls now.,outside of China, in China the game is still big
japgays unironically enjoy FGO so their opinions are worthless on gacha.
At least horsepussy is actually fun.
Genshin girls are frick ugly saves for Mona.
>e-girl waifus
>feet content
>a lot of moe content
>ugly
u gay anon?
>>e-girl waifus
they all look the same. Same midget skeleton with a moron walk instead of cute and funny ones.
>e-girl waifus
>feet content
>a lot of moe content
Yeah Blue Archive is great
>saves for Mona
how come this b***h is the only girl non-players know?
she's barely relevant in the game
because she's the only good looking one, if there were more good looking women, like 2B, nonplayers would know
her design is garbage
coomers just liked her because she was moderately skimpy for genshin standards
uuuhhhh source?
You triple crowned used goods?
I don’t get it. I tried this game for a couple hours. There’s nothing there. It’s incredibly mid.
you dont get it you need to spend atleast 200-300 dollars before it starts being fun
lol keep on hating and spreading bullshit while
it hasn't worked in 4 years but it might if you try hard enough
With hags.
room for one more?
kek this is just that Bloodborne girl Did they just use an Anime AI filter on her and call it a new character?
>how did this company became worth more than 3 times than the entirety of Valve in such a short amount of time?
The CEO is a part of CPP
>With hags.
censored hags
>more pozzed than western shit
Well poisoning israelite. I hate israelites like you more than any other race
what a shame such sexy characters are wasted on this
>All the westrannies seething itt
If you make your characters attractive you win.
>All the westrannies seething itt
all gayshin players are either trannies or women
the game is censored and pozzed as much as any western game
Genshin fandom has more lgbt than baldur's gate 3
Genshin fandom is about 10x the size of BG3, no shit
>Genshin fandom is about 10x the size of BG3
only if you include the chinks overwise it is barely 2x
>umm ackshually if you arbitrarily exclude this demographic it's... still bigger
OK? Thanks for proving my point.
>OK? Thanks for proving my point.
since when we give a shit about China?
Since George Floyd I no longer care about america and I care more about the enemies of America.
>how did this company became worth more than 3 times than the entirety of Valve in such a short amount of time?
AI is the future
Chinks are already using it
Mona's ass.
her ass is worth 23 billion? show me
They actually make games, something valve hasn't done in over a decade
No SBI involve
but CCP is
Funded by the Chinese government.
they're at it again hehe
I know someone who has spent thousands on this game
i spend about 17k. wonder what the ccp is doing with it
mihoyo: keeps excreting content
valve: *nothing*
>waifus
>profit
>private company
>owned entirely by the CCP
:^)
>owned entirely by the CCP
you're not supposed to point that out
Why did you hide the date? Those news were from like 2021.
As you can see here:
Nothing happened, nobody cares.
By selling phone data of anime simps
coombait and gachashit that has enough game to it to reach a larger audience than just mobile shitters with too much credit allowance.
Money laundering
they added soul to gacha
that's literally it
More like they added gacha to the soul. The gacha feels so forced. You start off having characters join your party after meeting them in the story and getting weapons from chests and dungeons and then 30 minutes in suddenly there's a wish system ditching all of that in favor of gambling. It's like they made a roadmap for a perfect game and realized too late they don't have a non-toxic way to fund it so they tacked on gacha at the last minute.
unfortunately you're correct
>gambling
You either don't know what that word means or you're too stupid to pool resources and then buy characters when they release.
1 character = 180 rolls worth of primogems
There, "gambling" dispelled.
>Have to roll on the slotmachine until it feels sorry for you
It's still gambling.
...and it worked!
They made a completely free full fledged 30 hours long triple A game, then slapped gacha at the end, added endless soulless grinding loop and boom, homosexual sapiens stop playing after finishing the normal game and the insect people got hooked
This is the sad truth, the immersion break is massive. Even when you never set foot in Fontain and you never meet Furina you can roll for her and have her in your party which feels very immersion breaking.
I don't think a chinese company can ever be called private
Gambling. It's just a casino where you get nothing substantial back.
I look forward to Chinese world domination.
I want to see all anti-China gays suffer, especially americans.
There is an underworld of mentally broken people that can have their money vacuumed away by smart sociopaths
>There is an underworld of mentally broken people
the game only made $24 million on global last month. not a lot of money for a gacha game with Genshin budget. the marketing alone is more than that
Genshin only makes a lot of money in China and there are far more profitable games there you never heard about here
what's the evaluation of companies like ea and ubisoft in comparison?
Cute, waifu tier, anime e-girls with zero politics or politically correct bullshit.
Give the people what they want and they'll make you rich.
>how did this company became worth more than 3 times than the entirety of Valve in such a short amount of time?
The fact that you have to ask this question means you don't know what has happened in China in the last 40 years.Or if you do know what has happened, you think it's collapsing or dying off or some other horseshit. China on its own is like a continent worth of people. There's a frickton of money in their middle class, that's why every single games company worldwide wants access to the Chinese market.
How does it do that? That's cool.
>how did this company became worth more than 3 times than the entirety of Valve in such a short amount of time?
Not a private Company it is owned by the CCP and their "games" are more pozzed than some Western games and is full of cuckshit
>someone was insane enough to not only care about it but actually take his time to make that pic and edit it
is he wrong tho? You can like the game but also admit this is true
the females are censored while the males get a shaded ass.
take your pills before i slap you
>pre 2.5 character
thanks for proving me right shill
>noooo my 20 seconds cutscene where character is slightly changed
now move the goalpost again
>now move the goalpost again
now post a non censored girl after Inazuma
the fact you don't want to admit the game is fully censored now just prove you're a shill
stop replying to me, insect
Nice try
but at least you didn't post Navia because you know
2.7 she has more skin showing than any of the characters in your pic
Chiori is fine because you can see her BELLY BUTTON
Wait really? I don't frick with the angles much since I like staring at her legs instead, screenshot proof?
I don't like the lack of shading either but her tummy is freaking hot...
Lmao I took the exact same picture in this event
the event was sick, spent so much time taking pictures
Damn, that's fricking hot.
They lucked out for being at the right place and right time
Now they don't exactly have that anymore
what are you talking about? Starrail is printing billions.
>Tried the game a few years ago
>"Oh it's just gacha open world with mediocre gameplay and the story is laughably bad but cute anime girls."
>$23 billion dollars later
Is the really the power of slop consumers?
>$23 billion dollars later
it didn't earn that much. the game made 5 billions in 4 years and more than half of that is from china
pic related is also a Chinese game and is only available in China but made 10 billion in one year. that's how big the mobile games market there
Crazy how Genshin lives rent free in these schizos heads but no one ever seems to mention the absolute horseshit going on with FIFA and Gran Turismo games
>the absolute horseshit going on with FIFA and Gran Turismo games
these games don't have troony shills spamming this board
>thread up to talk about a highly popular game
>"shills shills shills!"
Guess you're right, real video game threads are all about race wars and /misc/shit
Because this is what they’re competing against
>e-girl feet
pictures you can hear
HOT
CUTE
WHITE
ANIME
GIRLS
THE MARKET IS 99.9% MALES YOU FRICKING moronic homosexualS
AND IT WILL NEVER CHANGE
This is exactly it, genshin fulfilled a niche that wasn’t ever done well, controlling cute 3d anime girls in an open world, they dumped 100 mil on that and lo and behold, people actually like it. It also greatly helped that they pandered to fujos and women as well, even if it had some consequences. Is it as good as it could be? Frick no, but since western devs are moronic and japs would rather play even more turn-based slop genshin is a massive success, and they probably are just going to maintain the status quo of the game instead of ever actually doing anything different
>wtf why doesn't this rated E game have naked women in it?
so now it is E rated game? and btw it isn't it is T
Nikke has the same age rating as Genshin btw. The difference is, Nikke is banned in China
The ccp is the reason Genshin is heavenly censored and Im still wondering how Eula Raiden and Shenhe escaped the censorship
The difference is, Nikke needs fan service to keep its players.
Lmao at the seething
Im not even the guy you're arguing with I just wanted to point out that the age rating is not the reason, the ccp is
>Lmao at the seething
i just stated a fact
azur lane is also chinese and is as lewd as nikke
some devs go for sex appeal to keep players happy, others just make a good game
>azur lane is also chinese and is as lewd as nikke
not the Chinese version
>go for sex appeal to keep players happy, others just make a good game
why not both?
no one can wield that much power
Nikke is the only gacha with decent gameplay and good endgame
oh yeah? show it
soul
soulless
and the best OST too but the bar is not high
can't tell if sarcastic or seriously praising this shit
some people are actually mentally challenged and believe something like nikke can be enjoyable
100% serious hence "decent". This is the best mobile games can offer for now
the actually good gameplay is from turnbased and strategy games but a zoomer like you who enjoy Genshin won't like those
>nikke gay talking about maturity
I do agree about Nikke OST. Has to be the best in a gacha
because it's the only one you heard probably
Concession accepted
>You can look at wriothesley’s bulge and lyney wearing women’s underwear, but cleavage and non-moronic looking shading on an already sexy looking outfit is too much!!
It’s not only that they censor it, it’s that it’s so half-asses. We need fart bubbles underwater even though you can always take upskirts shots while flying because uuuuuh… don’t question it. Dehya’s ass shading looks moronic on purpose even though she’s already wearing super short shorts and what amounts to a bra because uuuuuhhh… it would be too risque i guess. Jean can’t show cleavage and Rosaria needs her breasts nerfed even though Ei literally performs sword paizuri because uuuuhh… idk.
It’s fricking dumb
>hurun research institute
Very reputable institution, I'm sure
>top 15 largest private companies
>get funding directly from the chinese government
Tencent, and by extension the chinese government own significant stakes in Mihoyo, so whatever funding they want, they get. Combine that with them being able to monopolize and push out whatever competition there otherwise would be in the largest country in the world and it's very easy to see how. It probably also helps that their flagship title is a copy of the most succesful triple AAA title that was released at the time (BOTW) but updated with multiplayer and waifus.
None of this is true lmao tendies really are something else, try reading some history instead of wanking over your shota protag's fanart
A game full of attractive characters is successful? Imagine my shock
Seriously? 23 fricking BILLION? By what fricking metric? That's not even a real amount of money.
they've made well over 10b in pure profit
>23 fricking BILLION?
estimation from a literaly who chink company
and since I see Nikke getting posted here, their company thinks their value is 2.4 Billion now after only one successful year. Genshin is not only 4 years old but Mihoyo has multiple gacha games too
Read the article.
The list is bullshit. It's written by a chink wumao
Real question is who gives a frick
>LOOK AT THIS COMPANY I"M SUCKING OFF SHLURP SHLURP LOOK AT THE MONEY THEY MAKE FROM moronS WHO LOG IN AND LOG OUT
