Let’s also keep in mind gacha is becoming more and more saturated and I don’t think the genre is bringing in any new players at a considerable rate. More games means just spreading the existing customers out further reducing the chances of single games popping off like they used to.
I have 2 friends that used to top up a lot, but now they can't not because they don't like it anymore, but because economy is literally so shit right now
Finally a comment I can agree with. I nearly cut all my gachas now (except NTE and ZZZ) and allocated my gambling addiction budget to single player games: Dawnwalker, Control Resonant, & Ace Combat 8. Life feels so much better now.
Bro seriously think there's a game out there that ALWAYS maintains its revenue for over five consecutive years LMAO. Really need to touch grass or take a few classes.
I expect 90mil+ for tsaritsa banner because its releasing in december. Don't know much about the CN market but genshin has always been screwed over by sensortower because its past main push was released in january and during that time Tiktok isnt no1, its the other two tencent games. So normally passing tiktok means being no 1 in CN but genshin always gets 3rd place even after passing it which means revenue is underestimated
The problem I said affected mavuika as well. I think it lasted 30+hrs above tiktok yet did not hit no 1. The actual mobile revenue was probably much higher.
I'm convinced that a significant part of the revenue comes directly from miliastra, it's just that ST can't separate this revenue, since it's a game within a game.
But the result of such stability is also the purchase of skins, which speaks to hoyo successful business strategy.
That’s what I think as well, It would be a funny thought if it turns out half of the revenue earned is from Milliastra given how much push back it gets from the western playerbase
