QOTW: If Mihoyo removed the gacha pulls and the gacha game design I would gladly pay $60 for Genshin Impact.

A-bomb to all of the collectible items you can get in MMOs. Event or season exclusive, launch bonuses, content rewards. I love them. I can fill my virtual world with shit I don't need but really want.... instead of my physical world where it becomes a fire hazard :)

Da-Bomb to a particular younger member of my family who is just getting into online games and also really loves in-game collectibles..... Just because I haven't logged into that game for 5 years doesn't mean I'm going to hand you over my in-game collectibles. You're right, I don't need them... but I also don't want to give them to you :)

Genshin Impact review:

Step 1. Make game that looks like BoTW
Step 2. Have people keep talking about it looking like BoTW and inadvertently advertise it to wider audience
Step 3. ??????
Step 3. PROFIT

For real though. They did good. Real good.

With the huge success of Genshin Impact I predict tons of cash in attempts on the "MMO but actually singleplayer + gacha paywall for characters" model. It's going to be the next big thing like mobas, hero shooters and battle royales that the slower companies will still be trying to copy five years from now when it's too late. If you don't know what I mean check out Creative Assembly actually still developing a hero shooter and a mobile ccg in 2020.

Genshin Impact is a good game and was really stupid not to of been a single player game set at a fair price. It would of sold +millions.
Its a good free game currently and when I call into to play, it stays that way. :)
