That’s why it perished…

There used to be games where paying actually put you at a disadvantage.

You can enjoy it even without spending money.
I realized I had spent a lot of money.

This was the previous life of Taimanin RPG.
If you train a little, you can collect about a hundred gacha tickets at the event, and with those, you can pull for limited items.

I want sexy clothes…

Well, guiding users to make purchases is important, isn’t it?
That said, there have been times when I got discouraged and quit because new characters were only available in paid stone gacha…

“Dankagu has reincarnated as a buy-out game and is doing well, or rather, it would have been better if it had been a buy-out game from the beginning.”
Well, it was really nice to be able to play easily on my smartphone, but…

There were quite a few games where microtransactions offered no benefits, making it feel better to play for free instead.

You can’t enjoy it without spending money.
😭 Service termination

It seems to always be in the black, but Last Origin is asking users how it can make money.

I thought that spending money was just a way to save time or something supplementary, so I questioned what to do after getting everything through gacha.

Enjoy it for just 1500 yen a month!

The reason low-cost subscription payments aren’t becoming popular is probably because they’re not profitable.

Making a profit from skins might be a win-win after all.

All games that are based on stacking should perish.

A while ago, a certain game that ended had a major game balance revision a few months after its launch, completely reversing the strengths and weaknesses, which caused all the players who spent money to summon strong characters at the start to get devastated.

You didn’t need to spend even a single yen, right?

There are people who say things like, “Why are you looking at it from the management’s perspective?”

The limited high rarity is incredibly, overwhelmingly strong, cool, and sexy.
Consistency is weak, but if you give it your all, even those can somehow clear high-difficulty stages.
The right balance is the best.

Subscription-only models can only exist in overwhelmingly popular games with a large number of players.

There are situations where there are so few limited PU opportunities that there’s nothing to spend money on.

Azur Lane has continued well without relying on gacha for revenue.

There was a game where it was said that it was better to reinstall it for each event and roll the gacha because the inflation was so intense…

You can watch ridiculously luxurious 3D live performances for free on Saisuta.
Even if I pull SSR, it’s just a 2D cut-in and a little phone communication.
As expected, it has ended…

I thought the social game I was playing was unnecessary, but I went ahead and subscribed to the 1500 yen season pass anyway.
It ended service in just over a year.

Is there anyone playing the purchased version of DanKagu?
I think the mobile game version was pretty poorly done.

I’ve seen many times games that promised all characters could be obtained for free start to flow into paid gacha.

I want to be able to enjoy it without spending money, but just to the point where I feel a little tempted to spend.

Social games where you can’t tell where the money is going tend to last a long time.

I’m sorry for having enjoyed it for about 400 hours without spending any money.
I’m really sorry for clearing most of the content.

The appearance that was said to be just right for a sub-game bonsai is nowhere to be found now.

There are games that have improved with the buyout version, and those who want to buy will do so.

In the first place, there are plenty of people enjoying top-ranking gacha games for free, after all.
Once you prioritize being fun for free players, it’s already like you’ve lost.

I think it’s amazing that I ended up spending around 10,000 yen even though there’s no need to pay anything to play games like Etalit.
Well, there is the fact that if you don’t purchase skins with in-game currency, the initial designs can look outdated…

If you don’t think carefully about how to earn money, it’s only natural that you’ll end up in trouble.

I don’t really know about games that become disadvantageous when you pay, but I sometimes see games where various mechanics are involved, and enhancements don’t necessarily lead to pure improvements.

At first, I need to make it so that people can play for free, and then once they can’t stop, I have to increase the pressure to spend money…

Social games have long been designed by developers to target not gamers, but those with gambling addiction.
If you want something decent, it’s better to do a one-time purchase.

I like restrictions in gameplay, so I find it quite rewarding to limit spending.

I’m playing a bonsai game that’s packed tightly with game elements.

The MMORPG I’m currently playing can be enjoyed for free, but since you can also earn premium coins in-game, there’s no need to spend money, and I don’t understand where they’re making a profit, so I’m anxious about the game ending.

I wonder if there are still mobile games doing event boosts of 10 times or something like that…

Seriously, Last Origin, which has no issues being free-to-play, is celebrating its fifth anniversary…
There have been about three transfers of management…
Yet, it’s strange that the game itself is actually in the black and making money.

I hope that mobile games will wrap up while there’s still some leeway and shift towards buy-to-own models.

Why are there no mobile games that feature advertisements in-game as a means of monetization?

Wasn’t there a lot of talk about how the Chikawa ads were amazing?

It seems there are some ads where you can get a little bit of stones.

I set a limit of 10,000 yen per year for in-app purchases.

It’s free to play without spending money, but I really get turned off by those who arrogantly demand stones.

Those who do not receive stones from seeing a pathetic Temu advertisement are happy.

NIKKE can be enjoyed sufficiently without paying, but they will tighten things with skins and skin gacha.

You can do it for free! (Time efficiency is terrible)

If it’s just about lavishly throwing stones around…
It is always puzzling to me that there are sometimes social games for which the significance of charging cannot be found systematically.

I personally think it’s a good thing that I haven’t played a type of social game that bombards you with advertisements.

If it’s just a character gacha, I can understand that.
When you have skins in gacha, different versions of characters in gacha, and equipment in gacha, it becomes ridiculous.

These days, there are hardly any mobile games that you can’t enjoy without spending money…

I’m curious where they’re making money since even in Master Duel, it’s not difficult to build a deck seriously without spending any money.

Pay-to-win social games have disappeared quite a bit.
There still seems to be a lot of mobile games that buy time with money.

Recently, it feels like there are many types where playtime speaks for itself.
It seems impossible to catch up all at once with payments.

They say there’s pressure to monetize… but without that, the management side will die.

I played many games, but the only online game that ended service was Pangya.
“Doriland is still ongoing too.”

😭 When I returned after a long time, everything except for the permanent ones had become paid gacha.

Is it Hero War Princess wwx? I can’t believe it was such a one-man operation.

When you convert the amount on the ceiling to cash, you go “whoa…”

A naughty new character!
😥Limited to paid users
😨No regular additions.

I find myself recording and saving ever since it was announced…

Even though there are plenty of things to enjoy without spending money, I don’t understand people who say things like “You have to do 〇〇…”

Even if people complain about favoring popular characters, we can’t distribute characters evenly.

I believe that at least the main story should be accessible without paying.

It’s inevitable that events that encourage spending money tend to happen.

You seem to be misunderstanding it as some kind of charity work.

Even for free-to-play players, there are great opportunities like guaranteed one super rare character or getting a favorite limited edition, so it’s okay to spend money once a year on something worthwhile.

I was playing a game called Manasis Refrain, but I could earn infinite stones from quests! → I got killed by the nerf combo.

When I see ads for free 4-digit consecutive gacha, it makes me think that gacha actually has no value.

Mobile games sell simply by lining up big-breasted women.

In the results of the survey for the mobile game I used to play, there were few complaints about the gacha, but Japan had the most complaints regarding training materials.
Many people feel that they don’t want their skills to reach level max on the day they are drawn, making it difficult to spend money on training upgrades.

I think there were many mobile games up until around the late 2010s that were too exploitative to justify with the excuse of “it’s not a charity.”
Recent mobile games have become quite friendly.
The reality is that the peak of the social game boom has passed, so it has become difficult to run a business like a feudal lord as it used to be.

😭 The regular characters are garbage.

When I first started playing KanColle, I was able to enjoy it even without spending money.
Now I can’t play properly unless I increase the number of my alma mater (maximum number).

It looks like a system has been implemented that allows players to freely draw characters that were added to the underpopulated game two months ago.
The yakko-san died just like that.

Please stop the frustrating events filled with a petty spirit, even if I’m paying for them…

But I really wish that the system requiring you to collect multiple copies of the same character or card and stack them wouldn’t exist.

I’ll be participating in the special character and the reception raid.

It seems that there has been a significant decrease in large companies engaging in interpersonal interactions, rankings, and special promotions.

Is there anyone who doesn’t understand Japanese?
I’m scared.

Buying the season pass generally solves everything.
To improve the quality of the scenario, the seasons keep getting dragged out.

Falling at the start of the game.
End of service 😨
Social games are scary because they feel like a given.

There was a game where you could enjoy it for free, but you could also spend money to get cute pets and take them around with you.
It destroyed about two of my kinks.

If we don’t let free players play to increase the player base, paying players won’t come out either…

It’s really good that gacha mechanics have disappeared.
If you don’t have them all, not being able to get event and raid boss bonuses was just hell.

As for the idea that a low-priced subscription like a monthly pass is sufficient, saying that free-to-play is enough will definitely lead to problems.

I think that maybe if we hold a swimsuit event every week, we could make a big profit.

There were really many overlapping assumptions in the past…

The gacha was, well… it was just too malicious.

The concept of a half-anniversary, which is something you only see in mobile games, is nice, isn’t it?

😥 Popular vote starts
😨 Popularity contest sparked among users
🤬 The management is teasing with an unpopular topic.

Now is the time to escape when event units and rewards become useless.
Because you start to lose sight of why you are doing it.

Meeting at the guild at 9 PM for a PvP battle was really tough…
Sometimes it had special effects, and it was really like hell…

It’s an era where you can’t attract customers with new titles unless you invest a huge amount of money, so if there’s no prospect of recouping the costs, it’s increasingly likely to suddenly go under.

Isn’t it necessary for free-to-play players to serve as a punching bag or a sex toy for the paying players?

The Sword of Lily of the Valley is interesting, but the pressure to make in-game purchases is too low, so they’re definitely not making a profit.

😊 Successfully completed the training.
😭 New enhancement elements added

I haven’t seen any crazy things like high-ranking legendary items in marathon rankings or those types of rankings, but score rankings are still present in various mobile games. It’s obviously better for non-paying players to be abundant as well, as that encourages paying players who want to reach the top.

Yeah, don’t start the battle.

Rather, customers lured by breasts will move to another game if new breasts appear there.
Something is needed to keep it from staying otherwise.

I think it’s a warning sign when they start to unlock the upper limit of character development.

There is no worry about service termination as it is performing very well.
The UI is a mess due to the management’s self-destruction.

If the new rarity can only be obtained from a paid stone gacha, it feels like it’s already over.

Reproduction rapid-fire
Further high rarity additions
Character upper limit release
The addition of new characters will decrease.

If you start doing this around here, you’ll die within six months.

The release of the level cap feels like it’s dragging on for a long time, and when there’s nothing left to do, it seems okay, but there aren’t many games that can reach that point.

I think they should sell a complete pack of all the characters from the first year of the bonsai game for several tens of thousands.
If there’s simply no opportunity to get in, then!

At some point, a stage will come where you can’t play properly unless you spend a five-digit amount of money.
After experiencing that many times, you inevitably start to feel that social games aren’t worth it anymore.
