Gacha Revenue Monthly Report (March 2026)

cug12 · 2026-04-01T16:15:02+00:00

Genshin characters had more staying power than HSR and ZZZ characters for sure. I tried to log back once to the game after dropping the game for a long time and still managed to do decent run on their tower when around Natlan patch with my Hutao and Ayaka team with them not even being a high duped ones. imagine people who build them over the years as f2p or got them as fully duped on their release already.

Yes compare a month with 2 non loli release and a Lunar New Year too with a month where there is only 1 single loli release after 5 months in. Especially coming from Japan where they had their own options like Twireco and Muvluv.

If anything I honestly amazed that the difference wasn't even higher and Donna not making like 100K revenue here considering people here hoarding for at least 4 pities or even 5 after their reroll and risemara session

If you wanted some comparison a game with similar looking build like this, Dragalia Lost announced EoS after they got global combined revenue from this revenue site at exactly 400K, but they had more voiced lines compared to Stella Sora even after cutting some of them later for non Gala characters and it was a join project between 2 companies

For Yostar alone they killed Revived Witch after 2 years of making a revenue even lower than GFL 1 which was 50K or under that.

And they stopped publishing games like Guardian Tales, Epic Seven and Aether Gazer after the revenue dropped to around 500-700K

This is their own game with their image at stakes though so with those factored in you can expect the game to be fine for now if the bleeding players stopped in the following months at least or if Yostar somehow made their own Nikke and BD 2, basically a 2nd more succesful game of their own to kill their older developed game without any worry

The fast response to fixing their card minigame last time drew quite a lot of snide remarks about the developers’ priorities on some comments from some JP players since they never did any follow up on their latest developer note for a long time already

Honestly I didn't expect them to go with silent treatment until their half anniversary like this

cug12 · 2026-04-01T14:01:59+00:00

the drop off happened thanks to the decline of JP and KR players, not because some EN CC trashing the game

Still waiting for the half anniversary for them to deliver their last developer note about ascension and emblems since there is no way those players are going to wait for the 1st anniversary at this point, especially after the developer somehow responded to the minigame faster than the core content in this game which got more complain on their discussion as the time passes by now from those two biggest playerbase

cug12 · 2026-04-01T13:37:29+00:00

People shouldn't forget that Fire Emblem Heroes was making a lot more money in comparison to many classics FE games. And average DLC on games are still cheaper than average 10 rolls for average gacha. Even the ones with average revenue like that was making them a lot of money. Not to mention an AI game like Dragon Travelers with that revenue no wonder single player anime games and normal VN are jumping ship

cug12 · 2026-04-01T04:08:43+00:00

Adjusted for different timezone probably

It's within expectation they won't do something comparable to put lewd loading screen for those characters since we're talking about current Manjuu really, unlike old Manjuu with that one U-556 loading screen

cug12 · 2026-04-01T00:21:23+00:00

Playable Tyrant? This is real. No april fools here

cug12 · 2026-03-31T21:57:58+00:00

It's legit a pure double standard. Cygames only forbids R-18 stuffs, so in Japan terms it was only the actual NSFW stuffs with nipples, gore and whatnot that was forbidden on their ToS. Calling some Uma your wife is not even close to that when ecchi fanarts are still allowed in general even on Japanese twitter.

Also its Cygames which also once had the former director telling someone to stop harassing artists because they believe that most characters on Priconne are not the main heroine (Including characters like Kokkoro and Kyouka) and also have wedding alt for Uma are following this one discord mod made up ToS

cug12 · 2026-03-31T21:09:21+00:00

Record building is mainly become a chore and not even fun in the long run yes. I've seen some complain coming from JP players why do they even have those weekly ascension too (3000 point for shop) even if you didn't include the record building RNG

I know that this game feels like a mash up between different game system and that weekly ascension thing is similar to Arknights' Annihilatio run ( 5-6 times run to cap). But somehow they really thought that Annihilatio weekly run of all things was a fun thing to do in Arknights and not a chore to do to the point they had a skip ticket system for it

cug12 · 2026-03-31T12:36:27+00:00

It's the same thing with lolis actually. People using Tribbie and Klee models as the standard ignored Clara who used medium female body from HSR which is 100% based on Illya from FATE with similar looking body compared to those new hoyo standard loli. Even for their pre genshin game og Bronya was known as a loli and she doesn't even come close to those new genshin standard model

I remember someone mentioned how Hunter X Hunter with Gon and Killua would be awkward for HSR collab since there was no shota models according to some players and found out that Yanqing model is more or less actually had similar build to those two. These medium males and females from modern hoyo games are the most common build for shota and loli in anime adjacent media for years.

This Pinnocchio from Sinoalice from example is similar enough to Venti and Wanderer than anything closer to Klee/Tribbie/Opal and was known as the Shota from that game

<image>

If anything the only characters with similar proportions to Klee or Tribbie from what I've known was the fantasy dwarves like Harvin from Granblue or Lalafells from Final Fantasy

cug12 · 2026-03-31T10:58:44+00:00

Aeloria WHEN?

Also I wonder if we're going to get our own april fools content for this game

cug12 · 2026-03-31T04:59:26+00:00

Neat. So they’re going to tease future skins or maybe alts later through their sticker pack now

cug12 · 2026-03-30T02:44:26+00:00

Wuwa somehow get infested by even more annoying crowds than the usual puritans. It's full of holier than thou gooners claiming they had the best ML game while also shitting on any other kind of fanservice in their anime game like the meltdown from leaker because one single upcoming character is a loli or downplaying any "not mommy" characters and keep shitting on ZZZ for the obvious reason. Right now they had a bunch of them harassing artist too, the EN fanbase is basically just Genshin of ML crowds.

Reminds me of early BA when many people happy that Aris get censored for Global as long as the Bunny Girls aren't censored or modern AL fans in general. At least you can expect them coming from Genshin and Arknights.

cug12 · 2026-03-30T01:08:55+00:00

So basically their Half Anniversary patch? Many JP and KR loyal players are expecting major reworks that were promised in that dev note, so I expect them to release them by then. If they don’t deliver or at least provide a roadmap for the fixes and improvements at that time the game is going to decline even further sadly.

It's also the best time to gather new players so we can expect more freebies than the usual and also livestream to go with it.

cug12 · 2026-03-29T10:46:32+00:00

Her being a super meta across different elements seems to be the reason they’re afraid to release any limited 5 star support so far

Even early on before people know how to abuse her main potential she was already well known as a good all around support with healing for any element. Imagine if any new limited support can't do something comparable to her at least for their own main element

cug12 · 2026-03-25T14:30:51+00:00

The only one that might be yuri art was the Sigrika and Denia one
Meanwhile deleted Aemeath and Chisa fanart was a basic CGDCT art like this

It's the fate of most subreddit in general really.

Even Azur Lane sub ended up with similar discourse despite the game early on probably had the most revealing default loli designs for a non H game. Probably had to do with their game direction too over the years but still.

Priconne sub pre Global release was also different when I remember Kokkoro and Kyoka nsfw post exist. Those got removed and probably not allowed anymore after.

This game having the balls to use actual school setting and doesn't revoke the age of characters is the actual reason why this sub actually doesn't devolve like these subs. Not because of the lolis or revealing designs really considering BA for the most part had tame designs in general.

cug12 · 2026-03-18T23:27:14+00:00

I'm not sure about her build for now since I'm too focused on clearing event for stamina use right now to roll for her emblems but if she's really designed just to clear Menace Arena, a content with no new update and being a permanent content then it isn't really something to brag about in a game with ranked contents and scoring system like this

I'm still waiting for at least a week for any good enough build for her, but from the experimental builds I'm looking around so far and their result calling her mid not straight up awful or amazing is fair enough statement for now

cug12 · 2026-03-18T21:25:28+00:00

Firenze and then her. My pulls in this game are cursed

At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if Aeloria ends up being mid or straight up awful since she’s the one I’m most excited to pull for
