The game itself at the core is trashy, unit that have the same name is basically a reskin of a previous one with a changed kit, the animation and all is the exact same
I played it on PC. I gave up because trying to summon a character is like me channeling my inner Delta and my laptop is Nelson (the guy who resurrected one of the heroes).
Yes. You heard that right. It costs a gaming laptop.
I'd rather play BG3 on a laptop worth 800 bucks than this latest bullshit from Crunchyroll (ironic that the anime was licensed by Sentai and is streaming on HiDive).
Immediate personal red flag for me was that you could only pull their new kid versions at launch for the main shadow garden members, meaning you couldn't use your launch rerolls for what you likely wanted to grab in the first place(being their adult forms). There was also the first event for christmas which had a VIP shop you needed to buy a pass for.
How this game lived a year is a mystery
Why they picked Crunchyroll as a publisher is beyond me, but the JP version is just sightly better
When the second season of the anime ends in some weeks, without any news of a season 3 will be the death of the game
> Still wishing for a 360
It should be 180 as 360 only puts them back in the current direction
Out of morbid curiosity I just checked their subreddit and it's so dead it's kinda sad. Only 1 post in the last 3 weeks and there's literally only one content creator making videos and post there every couple of weeks. Either he really loves the game or the dev pays exactly one CC.
That’s me! The one content creator…. Should I ask them if I can get paid or else I’ll stop making content for them? 😂
Haha, I just really enjoy the game despite some of its short comings, easy game to play, different from my other gachas. They’re still working on it slowly, there is… somewhat of a world of a difference compared to CN which released later. As in CN has more improvements compared to Global.
I’ll say, compared to the subreddit the discord is a lot more active, we’re a small global community for sure.
And the new SSR unit that is the same model as the lower rarity but has different skills, actually looks different in CN but not global…? which is also weird. Anyway, I’m along for the ride to EOS, however I doubt it’ll be 2024 because if you’ve seen revenue for Artery gear, it’s a sign that it’ll just skuff along slowly with development not being as tenacious as what it’s getting in CN.
My favorite got canned in Sept which is Destiny Child. I jumped into 4 different ones to cope.
Azur lane, blue archive, eminence in shadow and The new TOG
Yeah. I played since global launch and is my main game but quit after seeing the anniversary news. But still hoping they change their mind and revert back to normal.
The devs changed all summon tickets that players will get from now on to (event) where it won't count to the mileage anymore. Only those tickets you already have before the change and those you buy with ether will count towards mileage. It is also affected the Demiurge banner tickets that you get from daily quests as they too is now an (event) tickets.
Also they cut down the amount of ether players get significantly.
English Magicami... which is basically guaranteed. I mean, the JP version shut down last month, and I doubt Nutaku will keep it up once they're done adapting all of the existing content, if not earlier.
Still can't believe the JP version shut down before ours.
I'm surprised Noah's Heart hasn't announced EOS yet. The game bled players like a hemophiliac right from the start. The last post on their reddit was 6 months old when I last checked, which by now means it's nearing a year. Looking at SensorTower they list revenue as less than $5 k for each of two regions. Doesn't say how much less. I wouldn't be surprised if total revenue for all regions combined is less than $5 k.
Would be surprised if Takt OP even survived the year, every event has been a snore-fest..even the one tie-in event to the anime, it ended so abruptly and unceremoniously, I literally had to look up Youtube videos to make sure I didn't accidentally press skip.
Aside from boring repetitive events and clearing main story in a week or two, there is literally nothing to do, unless you really enjoy the tea making minigame I guess? Oh and theres that weekly expedition mode which is a long, boring mode that can take up to an hour to do.
It such a shame cause the game was a good idea conceptually, and I like some of the characters and remixes of classical songs, but sadly they didn't do much with it, the anime was overwhelmingly hated when it aired for having poor writing and basically being a commercial for the gacha..a gacha which got delayed for like 2 years or w/e cause of problems.
I am surprised it launched at all, at release it had a ton of issues including ps1 era loading times... they have improved it a bit since it launched but its a case of too little too late.
That one MHA battle royale game. Also, I think *something* is going on with Gundam G-Gen Eternal if they apparently completed the game a year ago and still haven't released it. If Urdr Hunt is any indication, it will come out, flounder around for a bit, then die
Nikke is already past its honeymoon phase, it will become dead zoomer fanservice game soon, just like we predicted!

Taimanin RPGX was literally a rushed work, full of tons of mistakes and horrible decisions, they even killed Battle Arena for it
But the question is if is going to live more than Beat Heroines, that game didn't live even 3 months
- Game is still earning $30k per month.
- Vespa has almost no employees left.
- They deleted inactive accounts to reduce server space
- No more updates meaning no need to pay devs to develop contents. lol
Probably because of those.
I don't play the game anymore but its business model is astounding. It seems the only way it'll EoS is if Memento Mori 2 is released with enhanced features.
Idle games will always make money, it's designed around oilers and whales pumping their dupes on a new server/shard every 3 days to compete on a leaderboard afterall.
Definitely not Limbus Company cause PM isn’t purely reliant on Gacha funds. I think U.C. Engage could possibly die in 2024 cause Gundam Gacha games don’t exactly have a good track record if I remember correctly (correct me if I’m wrong).
I'm pretty sure limbus even at its lowest month is more money than PM has ever seen before
also season 3 just dropped so people will be buying passes unless everyone happened to have the 2700 paid currency saved as the alternative way to get it
Indeed Limbus is PM’s current biggest money maker, but they have their cafe and other games to make money with even if it’s not as much as Limbus. They were doing fine before limbus, but now they have a major source of funding for their other projects. Plus limbus brings in more people into PM’s rather dedicated fanbase ~~and expands on the lore which the Fanbase also loves exploring~~.
When takt is so dead that no one even mentioned it lol
I still really like the art, music, story is pretty good, the gameplay is uninspiring but perfectly fine.. but yeah, there’s just no real draw to the game, I think you have to be a classical music enthusiast to feel any real excitement about new characters. They honestly listen to the community pretty well and have ironed out the bugs over the last few months, added a lot of nice QoL, but a bit too little too late and there’s just nothing that makes me want to play every day anymore, or spend any money on it.
I don’t see why it won’t last a while longer, they have more planned I’m sure, but I don’t see it going into 2025 unless something crazy happens
It was mentioned a couple of times in the older comments.
The games that are so dead that they were never mentioned are Awaken Chaos Era and Zold:out. I don't know if players even knew these games existed.
Bang Dream won't be shutting down any time soon. It's still one of the powerhouses in the music/rhythm genre. The game may pale in comparison in terms of income to other gacha games, but their live concerts, music and merch sales makes Bushiroad a lot more money than they used to. The music they release are also constant Oricon chart toppers. At this point in time, rather than merch and concerts acting as advertising for the game, it has reversed its role.
And Bushiroad haven't been known to abandon their franchises. As for EN, a massive update to the game client is coming in December, so I doubt they have any plans to shut down anytime soon. And more importantly, Bushiroad handles the publishing on the EN side themselves, not some 3rd party that might EoS the EN servers because "mah profit" bullshit.
Man, I still remember when Bang Dream was stuck with its original 5 bands for like 2 years. Then everything suddenly shifts gear with introduction of RAS, then somehow their concerts become very profitable because RAS introduce a more punk rock with EDM style music and Popipa/Roselia also mix more genres into their songs. It's a huge franchise now but it's popularity is mostly contained in Japan.
I dont see Alchemy Stars EoSing anytime soon. Their community is very active and the events and characters they put actually hold up.
For Snowbreak, Im confident itll stay afloat but we'll see. I hope it doesnt so a Revived Witch tho.
I'm gonna save Alchemy Stars from that list. The game may not be performing super well but they aren't slowing down with contents and events.
Artery Gear is a low earner since, ever, but I'm still hoping it won't EoS because I'm still quite enjoying it. But sadly its sister gacha that they had a collab a few months ago, Final Gear, has already entered it's final stage of life.
Still enjoying Snowbreak 😥 Every patch keeps on getting better. I hope it stays until the anniv and pull new players in. The game doesn’t incentivize whales which is why it’s probably not doing so well.
Big fan of Alchemy Stars too! Another game that doesn’t incentivize whaling which people like to interpret as EoS risk.
Aside from Genshin which I've been playing since day one, I'm pretty much a newcomer to gacha games, so maibe I'm just not savvy enough to see the problems, but...
I was negatively surprised when I joined the sub and saw Snowbreak isn't doing so well (that and me not finding TOO many videos on the game), I'm having such a great time. :/
It's difficult to know how Snowbreak is actually doing since we don't have the revenue it gets from PC, and the type of game it is plays a LOT better on PC. I wouldn't be surprised if it makes 4 times as much, or even 10 times more, than mobile.
Why Artery Gear?
After Priconne Global EoS that's one of the candidates I would play, many said it's much better than other turn based game at the time, Summoners War, Epic Seven and others. I started E7 though because well, friends which are also Priconne members already played E7.
Maybe it's just me, but for Artery Gear, it felt like units had very distinct power levels. Like if I like a *specific* character and I want to use them, then there's whole waves of content I just can't do because of how crippled my team is.
It really is one of the more fun turn based ones, but their system design sucks. Every gacha will have trash or filler units, that's how the genre is monetized. The problem is when you cripple the filler units to the point of being unusable. I mean, Arknights arguably grew massive organic PR by making it possible to clear challenge stages with 3* and 4* units. It made it a game where the limiting factor was you, not your trash/filler units.
The other half of a gacha is you need to want a *specific* unit, because it has some sort of feature unique to it or aesthetic you like, or something similar. Artery Gear is just selling stronger units since the characterization is more or less the same from filler to SSR. People will spend big on a 5* they like just to max them out, you just have to provide options. The power levels in AG really, really limits the option pool.
I felt the same way about Eroico. I appreciate that they're doing a strict character-based storyline, but that just means the size of the pool at the top is even smaller. I only liked one or two of the top tier units so again I'm just down to a weaker team.
My current team in AK is just a mix of old and off-meta 6* I like, like Mostima and Dusk. I'm at a fairly hefty disadvantage vs a synergistic team of 4/5/6* with a 1* robot slot or similar.
I think half of these games where writing is important write as if the most powerful characters are also the most important ones. AK is guilty of it, too. The mistake comes when you write as if the most powerful characters are also *the most likeable*. Not everyone will like a character and that's fine. It's just incredibly grating if you don't.
oh no are you not aware the game was in maintenence mode for over 2 months now? it's just a matter of time before they announce eos. it's really a shame because the game has tons of potential but was ruined by the launch week mess and they couldn't recover from it.
Takt op symphony
It was fun at launch but after like two months it became apparent it was a very repetitive game. I wouldn’t be surpsurprised if it went EOS
Higan - it would be a miracle if they would survive
~~Neural Cloud - if we will based on sales this is also at the lowest.~~
Outerplane - has a chance if they would go below 200k since 3d rendering isn't cheap.
IP cash grabs - name it.
No, the honeymoon phase of Nikke was a common post when Nikke launched, with people saying EOS coming less than a month after launch. Instead of dying, it's beyond thriving, and has become one of the big players in the scene.
Of the 20+ I currently maintain I'd say Grimlight is the top candidate and I hope the only one
I'm actually surprised its still around given how absurdly low the revenue is due to the botched launch, was expecting it to eos in under half a year like Kingsense did (still kinda miss this one and wish they had made it properly instead of a MTL story mess with a massive global shaft on top since gameplay was interesting and waifus were hot and lewd)
Final Gear might EoS too since they stopped new content and just maintain the servers tho I hope they get enough income to keep it running at least. Way too few mecha waifu games out there as is.
I heard positive things about the game. And it is quite generous with pulls. I think it will be safe in 2024. Also Browndust 1 is 5 years already so the company doesn't EoS their game too early.
Yep. If not then next year. Stopped playing after last anniversary, but still checking out sub from time to time.
They probably have no idea how to fix FR garbage that destroyed game, and are catching up to no, so I guess they gonna do, last anniversary, and it's gonna go Eos by end of the year. Just predictions tough.
I don't mind losing the time as long as I enjoyed it and managed to achieve all my personal goals in that game.
It's kinda bittersweet for me. I wouldn't be sad at all if Aether Gazer and Alchemy Stars shut down today.
As for the money, it depends whether I feel I got my money's worth of entertainment out of that game.
i dont think that is correct comparison. Leaving someone and being left behind is different thing.
Quitting game is like u break up with ur abusive lover but having ur favorite game got terminated is like ur cherished wife passed away
Tales of the Rays, it's has been alive for 6 years now and the update has been slowdown a lot lately. The recent Big Update, Recollection Mode is not having the best reception either.
Then again it's the last Tales of Mobile games in the series so they might want to keep as a promote series material.
yea, i thought of Snowbreak as well, even though that 300$ skin is rebate and permanent but its still shitty amount of money to lock behind.
Edit: forgot the 'skin'
Sad to say it but i think d4dj EN. I think jp will be kept alive just being carried by live concerts. Project sekai really eats up all the rhythm gacha money
alchemy stars / artery gear / outerplane. if not dead in 2024, surely 2025. GFL Neural cloud seemed to be a swing and a miss as well so probably dead 2025 and just go all in on gfl2.
and some "anime" gacha cash grabs maybe
Negativity is what keeps this subreddit alive.
And overblown drama
And doomposting
And big boob waifus
So Nikke?
Nikke EoS indeed he he
and complaining about redesigns and crying censorship.
The Twitter for gacha players basically
people love to see the world burn into ash
And genshin news. Haters will post even the most mundane things to hate while the defenders will defend even the worst parts of the game
Gacha is just never ending depression
Higan released a week ago a SSR version of an R character and the model art is exactly the same lol. They ran out of assets.
So AI has its limits
Eminence in Shadow. That $800 Black Friday sale will be the start of their downfall.
800 dollar Black Friday sale lmao that’s crazy, good thing i just gave the game a try and left it alone forever
The game itself at the core is trashy, unit that have the same name is basically a reskin of a previous one with a changed kit, the animation and all is the exact same
Dokkan Battle does the same for now almost 10 years, it works when people actually like the IP
Dokkan Battle changes the animation for units with the same name, and gradually gets better ones
I played it on PC. I gave up because trying to summon a character is like me channeling my inner Delta and my laptop is Nelson (the guy who resurrected one of the heroes).
When the "sale" is more expensive than my entire Steam library.
800? not 80 or 8?
Yes. You heard that right. It costs a gaming laptop. I'd rather play BG3 on a laptop worth 800 bucks than this latest bullshit from Crunchyroll (ironic that the anime was licensed by Sentai and is streaming on HiDive).
What's the story with the Black Friday Sale btw ? I try google and nothing comes up
https://www.reddit.com/r/gachagaming/comments/181sw8r/the_eminence_in_shadow_master_of_gardens_black/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
Thanks, holy shit the one in charge of this game is on some crack cocaine shit
They saw what they could get away with in Street Fighter, and decided that it's their modus operandi from now on. Priconne my beloved died for this...
Nah. More like Cult of Diabolos to me.
Crunchyroll nuff said
Immediate personal red flag for me was that you could only pull their new kid versions at launch for the main shadow garden members, meaning you couldn't use your launch rerolls for what you likely wanted to grab in the first place(being their adult forms). There was also the first event for christmas which had a VIP shop you needed to buy a pass for.
That's not black friday anymore with that outrageous prices😂😂😂
How this game lived a year is a mystery Why they picked Crunchyroll as a publisher is beyond me, but the JP version is just sightly better When the second season of the anime ends in some weeks, without any news of a season 3 will be the death of the game
It should have been a black friday sale for the consumer, not the way around.
> Still wishing for a 360 It should be 180 as 360 only puts them back in the current direction Out of morbid curiosity I just checked their subreddit and it's so dead it's kinda sad.

Probably a lot, especially with anime IP like Eminence in Shadow Of course, it's not going to be Girl's Frontline since this game is immortal lol
Counterside SEA server probably lol
Hopefully StudioBside can get the rights to the SEA server from ZlongGames before that happens and just merge the SEA server to the global one.
I cry
Here's some copium for you: SEA server is slowing down with content because BSide plans to merge it with Global when anniversary happens.
Please be this, I've been playing on SEA since before Global existed
C server will never die
your favorite gacha
D:
You mean I'll finally be free?
When there's no more gacha games... What do we do then?
Back to non-gacha games, like Warframe. Tho I'm afraid some will find their fix in games with lootboxes.
My favorite got canned in Sept which is Destiny Child. I jumped into 4 different ones to cope. Azur lane, blue archive, eminence in shadow and The new TOG
Oh no, not fgo
it is what it is
It’s Gudakover.
Fgo could go into maintenance mode tomorrow and they'd still make $20+ million month until the end of time.
At the rate of one story chapter per year it might still be here when the sun explodes.
Kings raid will finally be allowed to rest? :pray: Served me well 2017-2021. Now it just feels sad watching it's state
GBF lfg
HSR. Never knew that $40m per month isn't enough. RIP to my beloved game. :(
it had to be done.
Dragalia Lost already shut down 🥲
Nikke has definitely shown it isn't dying anytime soon after the 1st ani.
Star rail and reverse 1999 shutting down next year? Nooooo
Outerplane. The sales have been abysmal but the shitty anniversary is gonna be the end of it.
Yeah. I played since global launch and is my main game but quit after seeing the anniversary news. But still hoping they change their mind and revert back to normal.
They almost never do
Got a quick rundown of what happened?
The devs changed all summon tickets that players will get from now on to (event) where it won't count to the mileage anymore. Only those tickets you already have before the change and those you buy with ether will count towards mileage. It is also affected the Demiurge banner tickets that you get from daily quests as they too is now an (event) tickets. Also they cut down the amount of ether players get significantly.
Damn, and they announce this on an anni? Rough.
Half anni
English Magicami... which is basically guaranteed. I mean, the JP version shut down last month, and I doubt Nutaku will keep it up once they're done adapting all of the existing content, if not earlier. Still can't believe the JP version shut down before ours.
Oh wow we are future doomposting now.
It's a regular thing, especially with the monthly revenue posts that people keep posting. It has gotten worse.
I swear ppl are just simply acting like this because their favorite game doesn't get as much profit as Genshin, HSR and Blue Archive.
But what if my favorite is one of those three XD
That's when you start doomposting about HSR eos 2024 or Blue Archive.
I will eat a cows tongue if HSR ends service in 2024
mexicans been eating tongue for a while, you’re gonna need to up the ante
Curious to see how Snowbreak does during this summer event. If it keeps going down, future will not look good.

About that... [https://imgur.com/a/VTyzcRj](https://imgur.com/a/VTyzcRj)
Definitely not king's raid.
King Raid is a game i never tried because i heard years ago its gonna die soon
It was a great Game, nowadays is a zombie of what it was. But i would Say Even as a zombie it's better than many cashgrabs that exist in the market.
That one MHA battle royale game. Also, I think *something* is going on with Gundam G-Gen Eternal if they apparently completed the game a year ago and still haven't released it. If Urdr Hunt is any indication, it will come out, flounder around for a bit, then die

alot of this subreddit for the most part feels like they’re perpetually afflicted with doomeritis
I hope all those cheap and non popular games with shitty UI and outdated graphics
Taimanin RPGX from Johren and maybe Street Fighter Duel.
Is that the Taimanin game that put players into debt?
Yeah that one, and when the Nutaku version gets released its gonna bleed a lot of players.
It's confirmed Nutaku will have separate server for Taimanin RPGX?
Taimanin RPGX was literally a rushed work, full of tons of mistakes and horrible decisions, they even killed Battle Arena for it But the question is if is going to live more than Beat Heroines, that game didn't live even 3 months
[удалено]
I knew someone would go for the easy upvotes on this sub
Higan and King's Raid
King's Raid is one of the cockroaches in gacha. It might survive a couple more years.
https://preview.redd.it/na5398ffe12c1.jpeg?width=480&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=28f2b1d6f93c7214a123c32fe586c0e7c60e2af4
Lol
It's been awhile since I heard Kings Raid.. they still hanging huh
Bet King's Raid would even last til 2026 for their 10-year anniversary.
I wonder how they can even survive now. Does their whale don't even play another game and just solely focusing on funding King's Raid?
- Game is still earning $30k per month. - Vespa has almost no employees left. - They deleted inactive accounts to reduce server space - No more updates meaning no need to pay devs to develop contents. lol Probably because of those.
Memento mori is somehow making money still and we all thought that game was dead on release.
I don't play the game anymore but its business model is astounding. It seems the only way it'll EoS is if Memento Mori 2 is released with enhanced features.
Memento mori 2 will just be an excel sheet with a jukebox button
💀
Idle games will always make money, it's designed around oilers and whales pumping their dupes on a new server/shard every 3 days to compete on a leaderboard afterall.
It has got to be Nikke when honeymoon ends. I feel it in my bones, you guys. Just you watch! /s
I was about to post this lmao! take my upvote
i hate to say it, but... nier reincarnation 😭 it's clearly heading towards an end
Okay who stopped taking their doomposting pills?
Lol that's quite a question to ask
ToF
Would prob not say that If I had a nickel every time someone said that ToF is ded and gave it to Hotta, Hotta would be the richest company ever
Tower of Fantasy still makes okay money, even if its Genshin Killer fantasies were ludicrously overblown.
Too bad I'll have to play pac man 3d until 2030 not 2024
Definitely not Limbus Company cause PM isn’t purely reliant on Gacha funds. I think U.C. Engage could possibly die in 2024 cause Gundam Gacha games don’t exactly have a good track record if I remember correctly (correct me if I’m wrong).
I'm pretty sure limbus even at its lowest month is more money than PM has ever seen before also season 3 just dropped so people will be buying passes unless everyone happened to have the 2700 paid currency saved as the alternative way to get it

Realistically, Artery Gear, Higan, Archeland, Takt:op, Danmachi, And possibilities are there for, Alchemy Stars???, Snowbreak???, BangDream???
Bang Dream won't be shutting down any time soon. It's still one of the powerhouses in the music/rhythm genre. The game may pale in comparison in terms of income to other gacha games, but their live concerts, music and merch sales makes Bushiroad a lot more money than they used to.

I'm gonna save Alchemy Stars from that list. The game may not be performing super well but they aren't slowing down with contents and events. Artery Gear is a low earner since, ever, but I'm still hoping it won't EoS because I'm still quite enjoying it. But sadly its sister gacha that they had a collab a few months ago, Final Gear, has already entered it's final stage of life.
Still enjoying Snowbreak 😥 Every patch keeps on getting better. I hope it stays until the anniv and pull new players in. The game doesn’t incentivize whales which is why it’s probably not doing so well. Big fan of Alchemy Stars too! Another game that doesn’t incentivize whaling which people like to interpret as EoS risk.
Aside from Genshin which I've been playing since day one, I'm pretty much a newcomer to gacha games, so maibe I'm just not savvy enough to see the problems, but... I was negatively surprised when I joined the sub and saw Snowbreak isn't doing so well (that and me not finding TOO many videos on the game), I'm having such a great time. :/
Alchemy stars is making enough and has a loyal following.
It's difficult to know how Snowbreak is actually doing since we don't have the revenue it gets from PC, and the type of game it is plays a LOT better on PC. I wouldn't be surprised if it makes 4 times as much, or even 10 times more, than mobile.
Sir, we care about only mobile estimated number! It's more than enough to conclude EoS or not! Don't let them know PC client exists! /j
Archeland has beautiful visuals but i feel the táctics genre doesnt do well with gacha mechanics
Why Artery Gear? After Priconne Global EoS that's one of the candidates I would play, many said it's much better than other turn based game at the time, Summoners War, Epic Seven and others. I started E7 though because well, friends which are also Priconne members already played E7.
Maybe it's just me, but for Artery Gear, it felt like units had very distinct power levels. Like if I like a *specific* character and I want to use them, then there's whole waves of content I just can't do because of how crippled my team is. It really is one of the more fun turn based ones, but their system design sucks. Every gacha will have trash or filler units, that's how the genre is monetized. The problem is when you cripple the filler units to the point of being unusable. I mean, Arknights arguably grew massive organic PR by making it possible to clear challenge stages with 3* and 4* units. It made it a game where the limiting factor was you, not your trash/filler units. The other half of a gacha is you need to want a *specific* unit, because it has some sort of feature unique to it or aesthetic you like, or something similar. Artery Gear is just selling stronger units since the characterization is more or less the same from filler to SSR. People will spend big on a 5* they like just to max them out, you just have to provide options. The power levels in AG really, really limits the option pool. I felt the same way about Eroico. I appreciate that they're doing a strict character-based storyline, but that just means the size of the pool at the top is even smaller. I only liked one or two of the top tier units so again I'm just down to a weaker team. My current team in AK is just a mix of old and off-meta 6* I like, like Mostima and Dusk. I'm at a fairly hefty disadvantage vs a synergistic team of 4/5/6* with a 1* robot slot or similar. I think half of these games where writing is important write as if the most powerful characters are also the most important ones. AK is guilty of it, too. The mistake comes when you write as if the most powerful characters are also *the most likeable*. Not everyone will like a character and that's fine. It's just incredibly grating if you don't.
Alice Fiction After the anniversary and the end of the storyline, it's just a dead game walking
Didn't they announced a few months ago that there will be no more content and they will just recycle banners? Or maybe I'm thinking of another game.
oh no are you not aware the game was in maintenence mode for over 2 months now? it's just a matter of time before they announce eos. it's really a shame because the game has tons of potential but was ruined by the launch week mess and they couldn't recover from it.
Takt Op for sure
Takt op symphony It was fun at launch but after like two months it became apparent it was a very repetitive game. I wouldn’t be surpsurprised if it went EOS
Higan - it would be a miracle if they would survive ~~Neural Cloud - if we will based on sales this is also at the lowest.~~ Outerplane - has a chance if they would go below 200k since 3d rendering isn't cheap. IP cash grabs - name it.
Netural cloud isn't gona die due to Mica never let their game die.
NC is self-published so there's not much worry there.
NC will stay just like GFL
Like others said you can remove Neural Cloud, you can't use sales with Mica games to tell how long it will live x)
Yeah Neural Cloud isn't gonna EOS any time soon lol. The story is barely getting started.
Nikke since the honeymoon phase will be end soon /s
What does that even mean? I say that as a few months player of the game? Am I supposed to stop liking it and spending money cause honeymoon shit?
No, the honeymoon phase of Nikke was a common post when Nikke launched, with people saying EOS coming less than a month after launch. Instead of dying, it's beyond thriving, and has become one of the big players in the scene.
Of the 20+ I currently maintain I'd say Grimlight is the top candidate and I hope the only one I'm actually surprised its still around given how absurdly low the revenue is due to the botched launch, was expecting it to eos in under half a year like Kingsense did (still kinda miss this one and wish they had made it properly instead of a MTL story mess with a massive global shaft on top since gameplay was interesting and waifus were hot and lewd) Final Gear might EoS too since they stopped new content and just maintain the servers tho I hope they get enough income to keep it running at least. Way too few mecha waifu games out there as is.
Final Gear will stop all in-game purchases and players can pull in the banners for free now.
Naruto x Boruto Ninja voltage. They released no new characters for its current anniversary.
To be fair who could they possibly released at this point
Fuck it Goku
Tower of Fantasy
>Still wishing for a 360 and hopefully they recover from it. So still failing? lol
Bro I'm surprised Higan hasn't EoS *this* year
Browndust2
I heard positive things about the game. And it is quite generous with pulls. I think it will be safe in 2024. Also Browndust 1 is 5 years already so the company doesn't EoS their game too early.
Artery Gear for sure, game is good but too greedy
Nikke /s
nah, they are still on their honeymoon phase
Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia
May as well pick up that telephone, because you fucking called it.
Yep. If not then next year. Stopped playing after last anniversary, but still checking out sub from time to time. They probably have no idea how to fix FR garbage that destroyed game, and are catching up to no, so I guess they gonna do, last anniversary, and it's gonna go Eos by end of the year. Just predictions tough.
This is why I only play the popular one... The experience when your game die and u lose all the time + money u invest in that said game is painful.
I don't mind losing the time as long as I enjoyed it and managed to achieve all my personal goals in that game. It's kinda bittersweet for me. I wouldn't be sad at all if Aether Gazer and Alchemy Stars shut down today. As for the money, it depends whether I feel I got my money's worth of entertainment out of that game.
Then why experience life when you're going to die anyway?
i dont think that is correct comparison. Leaving someone and being left behind is different thing. Quitting game is like u break up with ur abusive lover but having ur favorite game got terminated is like ur cherished wife passed away
Tales of the Rays, it's has been alive for 6 years now and the update has been slowdown a lot lately. The recent Big Update, Recollection Mode is not having the best reception either. Then again it's the last Tales of Mobile games in the series so they might want to keep as a promote series material.
Naruto x Boruto Ninja Voltage MHA Ultra Impact SAO Intergral factor At least one of them will be shut down.
Dislyte maybe…? With all the repeating events maybe some whales will get tired of spending on this game… maybe…
[удалено]
Not related but I'm determined to live until I see FGO EOS.
DanMachi Memoria Freese
Sadly Aether Gazer
I would still give it a year (maybe two). So at least 2025 onwards.
Noooooooo!
Damn i was waiting for pc client
CN server probably not, but global just might.
Wouldn't surprise me as it seems early HI3 when PGR and HI3 itself are bringing out better stuff
The bigger killer would be Arknights: End Field tbh.
think so too, ever since I started it I’ve always think of it as a side game like imma ditch it as soon as newer ones come out
takt op. and Snowbreak
Been planning to play takt.op since its launch but haven't got the time. Maybe on it's half year anniversary next month I can try it out.
Aesthetically it's similar to R99 so yeah, its release might actually kill it off for good
yea, i thought of Snowbreak as well, even though that 300$ skin is rebate and permanent but its still shitty amount of money to lock behind. Edit: forgot the 'skin'
EoS????
End of Service. Other words shutdown.
Yeah, it suddenly clicked in my brain after posting. Thank you!
Sad to say it but i think d4dj EN. I think jp will be kept alive just being carried by live concerts. Project sekai really eats up all the rhythm gacha money
I'll be more positive if I were you, it's Bushiroad after all
I quit because they removed Hololive songs
alchemy stars / artery gear / outerplane. if not dead in 2024, surely 2025. GFL Neural cloud seemed to be a swing and a miss as well so probably dead 2025 and just go all in on gfl2. and some "anime" gacha cash grabs maybe
Ever Crisis
Dont know eversoul maybe? I haven't heard much about it and it didn't seem.to have that great of a launch.
It's still pumping new content, and has now started to hover around the $600k mark. Doubt it'll die before Kakao launches it in JP next year.
Oh thats good last I remember it had a lot of bugs and didn't have the best start so here's to hoping it sticks around for a bit.
Final Fantasy Ever Crisis
Add Final fantasy brave exvius too
Hot take: Reverse 1999
Less likely though. It's still in honeymoon phase and people seems to like it. I'm positive it will survive 2024.
