#and spending money on a fucking gacha game 😩

[barbwalken]

They were like "can palkia come out to play with us?" And cyrus was like "No." And proceeded to slam the door on their faces

Adaman must be like good luck i dont have to deal with that asshole

Also, giratina was meant to be for cyrus, they are equally petty XD

I love cyrus so much, he is a little bitch. And he is going to help them in the end, but he has to be mean first

I don't know who told this racist lurkers but how the hell is playing the game as a F2P is the same thing as giving money to Hoyoverse?

The equation is REALLY SIMPLE BUSINESS TRANSACTION

Spend money on item = profit

Don't spend money on item = no profit

Players who downloaded any Hoyoverse game is FREE but because their games revolve around Gacha. You can either F2P and save all of you in game currency for a character you want or spend REAL MONEY for that in game currency.

Me being a F2P doesn't give them a profit unless I CHOOSE to spend money in order to get a character

That’s what I’ve been saying but I haven’t been able to explain cause I’m so bad with my wording…

Playing doesn’t give money to hyv, it takes money away from them in fact with how you’re frying up their servers that ARE EXPENSIVE, which will likely be fucking decimated when natlan comes out because of the sheer amount of people who will be playing all at once.

The thing I see people talking about however is player numbers, and people talking positively about hyv games online, which will encourage people to play the game and spend money and whatnot, and to that I say… if people don’t have enough self control to not spend way too much money imo on a game that doesn’t feel very rewarding anyways, then that is… highkey sad. Like I’ve spent my fair share of money on genshin, okay? I know I have, but I’m not spending a dime on any hyv game until they fix their issues. Saving fully for Dottore in genshin, let’s goooo 😩🫶

So, while I understand why people would be fully dropping the game- I think it’s a little ignorant to say “well you’re giving them money just by playing” when that’s not how… that works.
