High Failure Rate Plagues Gacha Games and Developers Amidst Intense Competition
Despite the popularity of gacha games and mobile services, most have short lifespans. According to a Japanese gaming writer, only about 30 of the over two thousand launched games reached their third anniversary, highlighting the high failure rate in this crowded market. Even major developers like Square Enix struggle; Akatsuki Games, for example, discontinued Tribe Nine after only a year. Maintaining these games is a high-risk, high-cost endeavor, even for a few months. Moreover, Chinese companies like miHoYo are raising expectations with successful titles like Genshin Impact, which intensifies the competition for gacha developers.
