>Genshin Impact made $3B from mobile only >this doesn't count console sales (PS5/Xbox) >this doesn't count PC sales >30% of the revenue comes from China >25% of the revenue comes from Japan >20% of the revenue comes from the US
HOW???
You fuckers told me this game was going to me "flavour of the month". Then it turned out to be "flavour of the year". Now it's 1.5 years later, and it's STILL going strong.
Corrupted manifestation of the frustrated desire to have children

>$3000M in revenue >$1500M after app store gets their cut >$750M after taxes >$370M after Chinese government fee >$500M+ in budget
How is that impressive? It's fucking over for China.
Evan Turner
As someone who has spent literal thousands of dollars on gachas, Genshin Impact has the ABSOLUTE WORST draw rates of any gacha I have ever played. Even three star characters were damn near impossible to pull.
Nicholas Clark
It’s a fun game. Literally a better version of BotW. I am Welkin only, and have everyone I want, so it does not even rip you off
Dylan Perry
That's where the money came from. Don't forget weapon banner and rolling for constellation for bigger numbers.
Lucas Stewart
Three star characters do not exist. You are a filthy rat kike engaging in pilpul
Julian Ward
>three star characters Huh?
Connor Evans
>It’s a fun game it's fucking garbage >Literally a better version of BotW it's the other way around >I am Welkin only, and have everyone I want and you'll soon want donation to the ccp military >so it does not even rip you off chinked off 3 billions from toddlers and women around the world

the only people still seething over GI are nintendo underages who've seen hit game after hit game skip over their shitty tablet.

stop acting retarded. You obviously play genshin and this is just another shill attempt
Thomas Torres
Please don't reply to me if all you're gonna do is throw a temper tantrum.
Logan Davis
when will genshin come to the bingtendo shitch? they announced the port like 2 years ago
Ethan Garcia
>Please don't i fucking will
Isaac Garcia
Can't handle it. They probably overestimated the hardware when they announced the port.
Isaac Sanders
Sir Nintendo Switch Pro sir.
Easton Martinez
yeah okay but games still gay
Matthew Phillips
>here, let me make up a bunch of shit to make it look like a failure Game had a $200 million budget. And nothing else you claimed can be verified.
Jackson Perez
>and you'll soon want donation to the ccp military um based?
Luis Anderson
Nobody ever talks about the game, just the porn and how much money it makes, which leads me to assume there's some predatory gambling targetting children somewhere.
Nathan Bennett
The game is actually pretty good. Exploration, combat, graphics and music are all top tier. It's just kept down by lackluster dialogue and the gatcha mechanics. If it was a single player game with a set release, Yea Forums would be calling it the best anime game ever made. And the other half of Yea Forums would be bitching because it's an anime game (which they're already doing).
The single player content is not good except for a couple of questlines. Forget the actual gameplay and main story. It would need enough of a revamp that it wouldn't even be close to the same game. Everyone already decided what they think of this kusoge regardless of what you or I say, but I'm still tired of this meme.
retarded shit makes billions, therefore retarded shit = good ok, imbecile.

>The single player content is not good except for a couple of questlines. It's almost like he said the dialogue (aka quests) were the bad part... >Forget the actual gameplay and main story. Funny how you need to invalidate half his points to make the game look bad.
Mason Smith
Sex sells. Simple as. This game would be nothing without the waifubait.
Jeremiah Sanders
It's not on xbox you fucking retard.
Kevin White
Friendly anime fairytale teenager nintendo style game. Pokemon Go made $1B in a year. People want to have fun in games, but not dying hard in shitty dungeon.
Why does this bother you so much? You'll never play the game, you don't like it.
I played it and didn't like it, it was clearly not for me, and likely not for you too. Why is this so hard to understand, that the world doesn't cater to you.
Levi King
>Yea Forums is retarded and wrong many such cases
Leo Lee
It was super hyped though, probably the hypest mobile game ever. Even normies news were reporting on it every day, Hillary and Trump were referencing it during elections etc
Brayden Rivera
>reminder game doesn't even have a lock on >attack feel like auto mode tracking Don't get me started on the other issues
Fun for maybe a few days after that it falls off don't kid yourself drop it and play anything else this is coming from someone that played it day one for about a month it's the same issues that plague warframe
Christopher White
Please kill yourself at the earliest convenience, thanks.

>Even three star characters were damn near impossible to pull. I'm pretty sure three star characters are literally impossible to pull.
Elijah Ward
I think the gameplay is sufficiently fun but dailies and fomo shit burns me out.
Landon Wright
what is with all the chink bots these past weeks?
Juan Thomas
That is simply embarrassing.
Henry Brown
I don't play Genshin impact at all, but I'm shocked that the game can make so much money, and yet western game devs refuse to copy the formula because it isn't diverse or woke enough
Caleb Mitchell
As it turns out you can't just shit out high budget stuff on a whim, GI itself was in development for 3 years
Michael Wright
Genshin (and Asian games in general) keep rising in popularity precisely because the west is killing itself. Anime was niche 20 years ago.
There's a direct correlation to the rise of political correctness and the amount of people turning to anime. Because people didn't stop liking lewd stuff and cartoons just because the west killed their versions of it.
The game doesn't make money because it refuses to be diverse. The game makes money because of predatory monetization schemes. Stop being an idiot.
Asher Bennett
Genshin now has 3x more contents than its original release. That's on top of the 6 week update schedule. I don't think any western game devs can keep up with that. And the original game was massive and was actually a full game unlike the shits being released in the west in the past 5 years.
Samuel Evans
You could say games like Overwatch and League of Legends is the western equivalent. No, it's not gatcha. But it still made an ungodly sum of money and was far more popular than traditional games.
And as much as I hate League of Legends, it's single pay system is way better than gatcha. I might have actually bought a couple things in Genshin if they were a set pay system. But I also didn't need to buy anything. The base game already gave me 12+ characters. And 4 of the 5 characters I wanted.
Bentley Kelly
it's good/fun
it gives me beautiful characters to play as in a beautiful world with beautiful music
Nicholas Bell
>And the original game was massive and was actually a full game unlike the shits being released in the west in the past 5 years. It has extremely simplistic gameplay as expected from a mobile game. And the story is bad even by anime standards. So what exactly is there to "keep up with"? This is the very definition of mass produced entertainment banking on easy access.
Ryan Harris
A yes a gambling simpulator with waifus made the most money. Gaming industry shocked. Tell me again how creating a future generation of gambling addics and conZOOMers a good thing?
Overwatch is basically dead, so that sure as shit isn't the equivalent.
Eli Wilson
When will /v stop seething over this?
Logan Robinson
and it provides a much more compelling gaming experience than every single game the west shit out for the past 5 years. People cannot stop talking about it.
forget about keeping up with contents. The western devs are so fucking incompetent that cannot even release a patch that change a single element of the UI without fucking up the entire game. kek
Angel Gomez
Cuteness happened

Landon Reed
When people stop spamming mobile gacha shit on Yea Forums.
Leo Cox
Cute girls combined with a decent botw ripoff=mone

You're either a troll or a drooling retard if you're saying this kind of imbecility unironically. >The western devs are so fucking incompetent that cannot even release a patch that change a single element of the UI without fucking up the entire game. I'm not sure what you're talking about. But it's likely completely irrelevant to the conversation.
Charles Hall

Owen Gutierrez
well if you go how much MHY paid tax in Shanghai, their revenue was ~13 billion dollars in the first 3 months.

there's no 2w here. it's a single player rpg, you can easily complete all the content totally free
