        For largely being publishers and investors, they are extremely successful on their own. Being wealthy enough that genshin killing is just a spiteful hobby. Losing means more experienced developers in the streets which can be reused in making the next GI killer; winning means GI gets swept into their portfolio.

      You got baited hard. That was a proposed bill to slightly change the current "allowances" within gachas (namely: daily content, weekly content duration, etc.) It never went through, but even if it did, all the devs would have to do is adjust daily logs to weekly (Star Rail did this pre-emptively.)

            I played Genshin up until the start of Fontaine and the story and characters are so lackluster, if Sony games are Movie games, then Genshin is a Telenovela game, characters don't develop in any major way, the game is split up in these episodic quests that then last an hour (Most of that hour taken up by dialogue and/or pointless banter); the gameplay is just combo-ing skills one into another, yes there is the strategic factor of element reactions but I got Tighnari in my first 100 rolls and he carried me for most of the game, it isn't until Inazuma that you find some more interesting enemies and environments that actually force you into playing a bit more smart, oh yeah and there's also the fact limited-times events, "play it now or play it never" typical car-salesman tactics, the gacha system is worse than other gachas I've played (Blue Archive, GFL, FGO; I have over a dozen 3*-equivalents in each one of those games after having played them for less than a year, after a year of playing Genshin I only had 5), I somehow reached up to Adventure Rank 54 before calling it quits, I don't wanna touch it again until they make grinding or the gacha less harsh, the music and character designs are marvelous, don't get me wrong, but I can enjoy those without playing the game.

            I hope people stop pretending gacha is bad after feeding valve's gacha scams for more than a decade without complaining. Imagine hoyo made a full priced game without any microtransactions and then suddenly turned it into a f2p gacha and also added a stock market to trade gacha jpegs. And you can't even opt out of it despite paying the full price at the start. Valve did exactly that multiple times, but NO ONE fricking complained like you pretend to do. Now it's too late to pretend to care, you gacha loving hypocrite homosexual.

            At least Counter-Strike doesn't hide weapons behind microtransactions, you can play all Heroes in DotA after 25 matches or doing a console command, as for TF2 I can slightly get your point, but weapons are so easy to obtain even as a pure-F2P you still have the (abandoned) crafting system to dump your duplicates.

        Gacha has to have a break point just like games as a scam does, there's ultimately a limited pool of whales. They easily have enough money to fund a bunch of, yes less immediately profitable, but ultimately potentially company-saving products. They can even make fricking gacha shit based on their own actual games if they get popular enough and they REALLY want to. It's just really important to remember how huge juggernaut IPs have always come out of small beginnings and if you don't allow those beginnings to happen you can end up crashing.

Gachas are games popularized by poorgays and sponsored by richgays, they're perfect for the new world we're going to. Traditional AAA games are middle class games, poors can't afford them, richgays can't whale on them, without a big middle class paying for those games they can't exist. And that's the real reason they're on the way out.

      Because they invested a shitton of money in production quality. It was very expensive from the start. The shader pipeline they use to make this 2D-like anime style is a fricking masterpiece. Also the animation quality and smoothness, the super expensive OST. And they also kept investing back into it all the time, because new regions and character deaigns are clearly much higher quality. Given all that you cannot just make a generic clone that looks and feels generic due to standard rendering pipeline and hope it will somehow do better. You need to overinvest them and make sure the money actually went into development. Project Mugen, for example, looks exactly like that, something even more expensive to make. Unless the trailers are all bullshit it can actually rival hoyo.

        I mean it seems like they did, but not really, lots of mobile games have revenues in billions or at lest hundreds of millions.
        Mobile games are expensive to make mostly due to number of employees those companies have, often in thousands.

        The difference is that Genshin had a bigger upfront budget where the idea in mobile dev is to turn out titles in few months to a stage they can be dropped on a store and go from there.
        >Project Mugen, for example, looks exactly like that, something even more expensive to make. Unless the trailers are all bullshit it can actually rival hoyo.
        Yeah thats what im talking about, you get 10 trailers for games that seem like they will rival genshin, then when games come out it seems 80% of teh budget went to make that trailer
        its not that genshin is some pinnicle of quality, its just that other games are low effort as frick
        Though the art team at hoyo is really good, same for the lore guys, shame the main story writers just cant decide on a tone or direction, tech wise they keep doing tiny improvements here and there but it ads up, the new regions look amazing

              It doesn't have to be a big company, it's perfectly adequate. I have a question for you, not necessarily in the mobile sector. Maybe you can you tell me something about it.

              Can you tell me when the true next gen graphic games for next gen consoles will finally be available? Because I expected a lot more from the next gen consoles, graphics that are outstanding and overwhelming.
              Do you think the graphics will change massiv with the Ps5Pro or next gen like PS6, Xbox?

              And I read a in a news to AI and game development, an AI can create games in 5-10 years itself (possibly people laid off...?) How do you see that?

                This claim is so wild that it borders on fantasy.

                What you mean next gen graphics? like fidelity? animation? physics?

                When it comes to really next gen stuff i would say it already did, Immortals of Aveum, while a meh game, it uses all new tech, from unreal only stuff like nanite and new shader workflow, to stuff like ray traced GI and really fancy blend shape based facial animation
                Art style of that game is questionable, but tech wise its truly next gen, completely ahead of what anybody else did

                >Do you think the graphics will change massiv with the Ps5Pro or next gen like PS6, Xbox?
                Ray tracing will make stuff look better, people really underestimate how good proper GI makes stuff look, they are used to lazy meme ray tracing with traced shadows and reflection, both usless, only real point to use it is to do GI

                Personally im a character artsist, and i dont see anybody doing anything truly new, and i fallow industry solutions, though polycounts will fricking skyrocket, and without the ps4 dragging everything down to shared memory limits resolutins on textures will get some big you wont see any blurriness

                >And I read a in a news to AI and game development, an AI can create games in 5-10 years itself (possibly people laid off...?) How do you see that?
                moron talk, been talking a bit with previous naughty dog tech director on AI solutions, seen him do stuff on modeling and level design, hes not impressed despite his plans to start up his own AI software, says it will take many years yet and he plans it as a really long term investment
                But you will see AI make animation, voice acting, simple models and stuff, but not entire games, even a army of coders who know every line by memory cant optimize well with compilers that make 0 mistakes, meanwhile AI that imagines half the code would make shit that runs at silky smooth -2 fps, bluescreen your pc and then brick your hard drive

      Gachadevs probably thought Genshin wouldn't survive amongst 2D lewd gachas, but I'd say during Inazuma they started scratching their heads and soon we gonna have a bunch of gachas like genshin, I just hope that they support proper co-op and look good and play nice. Co-op is a soft requirement, I'd just love to play something with my friend.

      There are a few of them coming soon
      They only got approved to be made after genshin explosive launch so it takes a few years to show up

      >all that money for games with zero Black folk
      Yes, it's a massive victory for us, gamers. israelites lied to us for a decade claiming that every game must have Black folk, ugly wymen and gender politics to be successful.

    Genshin world is the most beautiful and soulfully handcrafted world I have experienced.

    Every other game world is sandbox generated in conparison.
