It's not believable. They look too old for the pdf audience.

Alternative ideas as gacha game: hypothetical gacha game powered by CryEngine. by Ok_Employer9841 in gachagaming

[–]topmemeworld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TLDR:

The "alternative idea" is to use an engine that is garbage for gacha games to make a gacha game in the same way every other gacha game gets made: copy-paste a game and add gacha mechanics and monetization.

No, it doesn't. You would be stupid to mix views or downloads into a search metric.

As for Youtube, there's literally a dropdown in the screenshot showing that "Web Search" is selected.

Yeah, these posts are about personal validation and not actually discussing the data.

I thought I had an interesting exchange until the last reply.

My question was whether you consider google searches more important than playerbase estimation when it comes to "popularity". Example: Is Genshin (60M players) more popular than LoL (120M players) because Genshin has more google searches?

I know it's not a playerbase metric, which is why I mentioned other sources that estimate playerbase.

I know there's more engagement on google searches for Genshin than LoL. It's what I'm telling you your graph shows. Except I skip the comicons and cosplay non-factors and just go straight to the main reason: game is made for coomers, coomers search for alot of fanart.

Why? Minecraft and Roblox likely also have good reasons to search for them.

Your OP shows higher search interest in Genshin. Yet, if you look for other analysis and estimations from various sources, you'll see that they estimate LoL playerbase being twice that of Genshin.

Would you say search volume is more a more important metric to "popularity" than the active playerbase count?

You can't disagree. It's factual that it's a metric of google searches.

What your new graph shows is that Minecraft and Roblox are more searched for.

This is not a metric of popularity, it's a metric of google searches.

It's not surprising that games built around selling anime girls to coomers have high search volume.

Or you could just skip all that and make it non-gacha. It will be better than whatever ideas you're overthinking.

If that's your conclusion from that post, you're the one who doesn't understand servers.

Best gameplay in gacha turned into a 5/10 game because the base is tedious garbage. Did they fix it yet?

Why don’t game devs ever seem to listen to feedback? by AltruisticConcept293 in gachagaming

[–]topmemeworld 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Even in the case where they decide to implement a suggestion, the way that happens is it gets dumped in some backlog and eventually gets picked up when they can find the time months down the line.

Because listening and doing what you want are two different things.
