Every dollar you spend on it will be a bullet that shoots American. Stop feeding china
Well deserved!
I'm gonna farm Artifacts because of the content delay. Comfy login and logout time.
Based. Buying primos right now.
Nice
>90 percent spend nothing or buy a Welkin for five bucks tops
>10 percent are mentally ill and dump several thousand into it
It's wild how it works with these games
80/20 rule
Japan really dropped the ball. A game like Genshin should have come from Japan but they were too busy making PNG collectors and childish games for the Switch.
>its wild!
no, that's the entire modern economy and its the real reason jews want you to cut off your dick or be a fag. If you don't have children to raise, then the hundreds of thousands of dollars you would normally spend raising them is instead put into pointless hobbies like videogames or gambling. Globalhomo doesnt care about muh communism or saving the planet, it's a giant moneymaking scheme designed to put out mindless consumer spending and it does so by creating the mindless consumers itself. People with no long term dependents typically opperate 100% in the now. They seek instant gratification and don't desire to save their resources or spend them responsibility. if these people didnt have access to vidya, they would be spending their money on other short term wish fullfilment things, like hoarding, spree shopping, gluttony and so on.
>the US will be defeated by homosexual gacha whales that masturbate to twinks all day
This is exactly how Rome fell.
How many kids do you have
Welcome to gachafaggotry
It's basically the ideal, isn't it?
People with no money get to enjoy a great game
People with some money can spend what they can afford to spend
People with unlimited money spend hundreds of thousands
The old model of charging every gamer a flat price when people have wildly different incomes is so stupid. People who have more should pay more and Genshin achieves that in a fantastic fashion. It achieves it voluntarily.
I will now buy your game.
The twinks are pretty hot though. Sorry America but I'm funding the CCP.
This is what they get for putting ugly BIPOCs in their games and not cute boys.
Jean, Mona account. Based.
BASED BASED BASED
FUCK THE GREAT SATAN
I will now roll in your gacha.
80/20 is LITERALLY a perceivable effect that applies to literally everything

It preys on gambling addicts
>It preys on
How is offering certain products and services "preying" on anyone?
It's a completely voluntary transaction between consenting adults and you're assuming a complete lack of agency for these "addicts" that they actually possess in reality.
So is heroin
Got to milk the rich retards with more money than sense.
Yes, and?
Mihoyo is the biggest Jewish mobilegaming company I have ever seen. They don’t care about us, they treat us like slavery like niggers in the past.
If you don’t want to spend money on this game, you have to waste your time and it’s worse than other Gatcha games.
Shame it skews all the prices so that's it's not even worth it to spend just a little bit. Like the outfits, a single skin costs like 20 dollars or something retarded like that, because they know some retards will still pay 20 bucks for it
Are you denying heroin addiction
Gonna renew my blessing thank you user
No, I'm saying that the predatory methods drug dealers use to push heroin onto the most vulnerable poors in society that contributes to an increase in poverty and crime isn't at all comparable to a Chinese tech company selling digital waifus to rich gamers or NEETs living off their parent's income.
You're disingenuously conflating the two without reason.
I love my cute brown wife Xinyan and i hope the devs make her more stronger :3
nice to know my rolls are also an investment in a brighter future
And you're assuming that all the people dumping thousands into this game are rich. It doesn't work like that with online casinos either, in the worst cases it's people spending their food money and taking out loans for a couple more spins
This.

>you're assuming a complete lack of agency for these "addicts".
Their agency is generally impaired, by a flood of chemicals they get through a genetic per disposition.
>How is offering certain products and services "preying" on anyone?
If i have information on your vices and use it to take advantage of you, it is predation. But, ehhhh most people will walk away from it after taking enough of a beating.
God I miss being in Japan so much bros
I'll take the fucking coof jab if it means I can go back
I'm really doubtful that Genshin players are causing significant harm to public order but if you have something to suggest otherwise I'd take it into consideration.
>Their agency is generally impaired, by a flood of chemicals they get through
You know all human experience is delivered through a flood of chemicals? If this is your basis for lack of agency then what human on Earth possesses free will?
This is absurdity and you know it.
>If i have information on your vices and use it to take advantage of you, it is predation.
Maybe, I haven't considered that because that's not something Genshin Impact does. It just offers the same deals to everybody on Earth, it's not going after anyone specifically.
>I'm really doubtful that Genshin players are causing significant harm to public order
I haven't claimed that, I've said they're damaging themselves
Also
>it's not going after anyone specifically
It's going after gambling addicts with its gambling system. Like an online casino
>I've said they're damaging themselves
Who cares if somebody voluntarily damages themself? What right do you have to stop them?
You want to monitor everyone and make sure they only ever make the correct life decisions or what?
The question is how voluntary it is, can you truly be considered sane or in control if you keep losing your money over and over but never stop
win win
So if I make a fun video game would you describe that as "preying upon gamers"?
The wording is unnecessarily harsh and you know it. I agree that these games CAN be predatory, but you need more evidence than simply "has a gacha". A casino existing in and of itself isn't a predatory action, it's a passive action. If people come to that casino and walk in the door, that's not preying upon idiots, that's people visiting a casino.
And yeah, everybody who goes to a casino knows what a casino is. They know gambling has risks. They're not all fucking morons, they just have personal reasons for their own actions that have nothing to do with you in the first place, so you probably should just leave them to it instead of thinking of them as retarded monkeys caught in a trap.
I just get the impression you have a very low opinion of humanity in general when you speak like this.
>something makes lots of money
>that means its good
Hopefully some day they find a care for your rampant retardation, but I wouldn't bet on it.
>I agree that these games CAN be predatory, but you need more evidence than simply "has a gacha"
Are you asking about gacha in general of specifically about genshin?
I've simply seen people gamble their money again and again, and I don't think you can consider it rational behavior anymore at that point. Not everyone who gambles is an addict, but casinos make their money from the addicts. Building your business model around those wrecks is pretty sleazy. Charging a one time price for a video game is very different from an endless well you can keep throwing money into
>You know all human experience is delivered through a flood of chemicals?
>You know all human experience
No, a good deal are not a "flood" or an over load, that causes impairment. This is how we know what normal is, because most of the time we aren't getting flooded.
>It just offers the same deals to everybody on Earth, it's not going after anyone specifically.
It clearly understands it's target audience enough to be able to farm the top 10% as well as it does.
But whatever i guess, it probably won't be banned/ or limited anytime soon, not much of a point about arguing about it.
I guess we're talking about Genshin but I would say the same of any gacha, if you want to say it's predatory then I'd need to hear more than just "It's trying to make money with lootboxes!"
Those people aren't what fund casinos because those people quickly run out of money. What funds them is people who can regularly drop a lot of money without bankrupting themselves, thereby providing steady streams of income. Some idiot ruining himself and losing his house and job over it doesn't really help a casino very much at all because a week later that guy is useless.
Yes those people exist, but they're an extreme minority of people incapable of making good decisions, and if they didn't blow it all in a casino they'd have done something equally stupid with their life somewhere else.
You can't protect everyone and trying is futile. Saying that gambling is predatory because a fraction of gamblers are terrible at gambling isn't rational.
>It clearly understands it's target audience enough to be able to farm the top 10% as well as it does.
I'm going to make a wild fucking suggestion here, you ever consider the fact that the top 10% might just enjoy the game and be happy supporting it with their expendable income?
That they might not even care or think twice about the thousand dollars they dropped?
I will never play your gatcha shit, I will however jerk off to pics of the girls.
I'd say a system where the house always wins is pretty predatory by its nature. Granted gachas have those guarantees after you waste like 200 dollars first
>
Wait till Diona see this big mushroom
It's times like this that I feel even more disconnected than usual from the lives of normal humans
>but I would say the same of any gacha, if you want to say it's predatory then I'd need to hear more than just "It's trying to make money with lootboxes!"
I asked becuase genshin is way worse than a lot of other gacha. In a way, yes, all gacha are predatory, but with things like say, Arknights, I can find redeeming qualities, be it decent rates and a low pity requirement
With genshin you have layers of additional bullshit, every new character is limited and only avalaible for 3 weeks, creating this retarded sense of urgency that you have to get them, or you wont get a chance to for the next 6 months-year. Kazuha is the greatest example of this. Then you have constellations, 5* weapons, 50/50 on pity. A lot of things people are willing to put under the rug as whalebait but things that every psychology student will recognize as tactics meant to exploit people
>fact that the top 10% might just enjoy the game and be happy supporting it with their expendable income?
If dropping 5k on a virtual weapon as i have seen some do, "gives you enjoyment" i think you have lost your grip on reality and any sense of virtue. Having expendable income doesn't let you have a "full retard" pass (not indefinably, you do get it for a limited time though) .
>That they might not even care or think twice
That's the problem, it's degradation full stop.
Yeah I guess that happens when retarded fags have to shell out 200$ minimum to get a shot at their waifu. This is not positive news if anything it spells disaster for the future of halfway decent video games. GACHA CHINK TRASH. Getting excited about this news is like getting excited about meth sales of course it's going to be high when half of the user base is mindless Junkies. Real chads just jerk it to the fan art and never give soulless chink trash any of their money.
i have a samsung galaxy s10+
can i run genshin
>Be f2p player
>Know Kazuha is op
>Save enough primo to roll him or wait and see if there more op anemo than kazuha
You might not know but it actually helping people like me who won't spend a single dime in this game plus the pity system actually helping you guarantee getting the character.
I would give them all my savings if that was the case.
how much until america is wiped off the face of the earth?
Holy based, fuck the jewnited states of kikemerica
I know this is bait for saying "based then" or some shit like that but it's hard to resist
Is this game actuallly good? Like behind the Gacha and the waifu stuff is it a genuinly good and fun game?
>genshin is way worse than a lot of other gacha
Like user said above you it has a pity system that creates an upper limit on spending, it's actively taking steps to protect spenders that it doesn't need to.
>Kazuha is the best example
Why? Because literally every other character in the game has had one or more reruns destroying your scarcity narrative?
If people are that easy to manipulate then, again, I just ask, what isn't predatory?
You could accuse a greengrocer of preying upon their customers by putting use by dates on their vegetables.
Weapons were like that a year ago and they added pity to them. They didn't need to, but they did.
it's okay yea
The worst part is that you could spend $20 and get absolutely nothing of value, I get they cant just hand out 5 star items but fuck me it can be shitty. i spent $900AUD when it came out in a month and then quit for 6 months after i realized i had an issue.
Can't believe we live in a world without morals. In the past nobody would support such an obvious fucked up ploy like this but now we have people calling it "based" to get taken advantage of by a chink gambling ring.
I will now spend money in your gacha
