We need more revenue in order to get our daughter back!

It's a loss even wuwa fans can't get mad at. Getting number 2 is a first and 46 million is like... A lotta cash for what the game is usually earning, even for the hype sentinel resonator patches

Its a bittersweet victory for wuwa fans Ill be real. Yeah its great vindication seeing our fave game so close to the top, because over the past year the rise in production quality has been clearly met with a rise in market response and revenue, steadily climbing the charts since 2.0.

But by the same token its impossible to ignore how the game is being far more aggressively monetized - fucking bike skins for 25 bucks, a spending event in 3.1, the stat rerollers players had been begging for now a limited premium item available mostly for big spenders... new "weekly" pass on top of the BP and monthly Lunite pass... The price to pay for popularity and success is that devs will inevitably crank up the overt monetization of the game. At this point, ZZZ feels less exploitative and more F2P friendly than Wuwa to me.

Everything u mentioned doesn’t affect f2p players one bit btw. The games f2p friendliness has not changed at ALL.

u/DranDran WuWa/ZZZ/Limbus Mar 02 '26

Yes, it hasnt changed, thats the problem. ZZZ has gone to further lengths to make the game f2p friendly by buffing and changing the way standard characters work, along with popular agents from the 1.x era like Ellen, Sanby and Jane. I dont see Kuro patching Lingyang or Calcharo, or even Yinlin who feels terrible to play. ZZZ also gifted Zhao, when was the last time Wuwa gifted a brand new limited banner character? Xiangliyao?

I love Wuwa and its my current fave gacha but ZZZ has done way more lately for the players than Wuwa has.

u/Phasser_ Mar 02 '26

Wuwa has never been f2p unfriendly lol what? Just because some standard banner release chars are bad doesn't mean the game isn't f2p friendly. Lower hard pity, more pulls per patch, guaranteed weapon banner, being able to share weapons in ToA, etc. Who cares if Calcharo and Lingyang are bad? Are you gonna try and tell me every single character in ZZZ is good? Completely pointless statement lol. And 1.x characters like Yinlin literally do have a buff in the newest endgame which is the only place they'd actually need one to perform well. Also what does giving a free 5 star away recently have to do with being f2p friendly or not? By this logic HSR is more f2p friendly than wuwa since they gave out a 5 star selector recently? Lmao. You're literally calling wuwa exploitive because of BIKE skins (completely cosmetic lmao?) a spending event that barely gives shit and is ALSO mostly cosmetic, substat rerollers that are only for pure min maxing purposes and dont even guarantee u get anything good, and a weekly lunite. Be serious.

Ah, goalpost shifting and bad faith arguments, someone from the Saintontas school of arguing. Onto the blocklist you go, what was I even thinking.

u/austin346688 Mar 02 '26

way to project!

u/Calm-Literature7502 Mar 04 '26

Anyone who say wuwa is f2p friendly are just bs lol. Character + sig weapon = 240 pulls compared to genshin of 180 pulls for a character and useful 4* weapon

1

u/DranDran WuWa/ZZZ/Limbus Mar 04 '26

Nah, you can get selectable standard 5* weapons using free standard pulls in Wuwa, thats a false equivalency. Also Genshin’s pull economy per patch is terrible lol, its not even remotely comparable. xD ZZZ does a far better job.

u/Calm-Literature7502 Mar 05 '26

Do you even use the standard 5* weapons when pulling for a brand new 5* character? :)

No counter argument so it’s “onto the blocklist” Hilarious 🤣

u/IndianSerpent10930 Mar 01 '26

Not to.mention this is only mobile sales, when most players are gonna be on PC or console

45

u/Routine-Boysenberry4 Mar 01 '26

While i do think that if we add pc and console sales for both Wuwa and GI, GI would still win, it still is a big achievement

-4

u/austin346688 Mar 02 '26

really? i think majority of wuwas players are on pc and it'd probably be more than genshin atp.

1

u/IloveIdolsfromZZZ Mar 03 '26

No because genshin still wins on console and we don’t have pc genshin numbers but genshin pc also has to do a ton

-2

u/austin346688 Mar 03 '26

nah i'd bet wuwa has way more pc players than genshin, theres no reason to play genshin on pc bc it still looks crappy just like on a phone! wuwa is gorgeous on pc.

u/BeastlyBeast5422 Mar 01 '26

all of this money going straight into my favorite company while my phone cant handle aemaths ultimate

u/BeastlyBeast5422 Mar 02 '26

oh yes how i never thoguht if this before

u/lordsfavor10 Mar 01 '26

The star do aligned, it's spend event as well, so ppl just dump their cash rn, topup and get more add ons, cute Aemeath bike decor + weap + char

It also helps whales S3 Meath as well bcs it's good

It just fits perfectly

u/Defiant-Seat5425 Mar 01 '26

Also it's when wuwa made family focus story instead of goners story, their loud minority goners can't be happy because now they realise their fav dating sim slop the one holding back the game lol

4

u/ambulance-kun Mar 01 '26

Yes, and if they keep doing this, players and attention seeking CCs gets filtered out and now what's mostly left are the chill type of players, the target audience you want if you want your billion dollar game to thrive beyond needing to sell sex for the sake of selling

4

u/Defiant-Seat5425 Mar 01 '26

Selling sex not gonna work  long because other gacha are willing to go more beyond 18+ unlike wuwa.

u/Apart_Routine2793 Doomscroller: Go Tribalism Go! Mar 02 '26

If Cantarella's incident is any indication

KuroGames are willing; Tencent aren't

-1

u/Defiant-Seat5425 Mar 02 '26

Yeah and her banner flop, not until phrolova with better story and less sex drop lol.  Tencent doesn't care as long as money is rolling.

Simpleton that only roll for character just because she hot actually a minority in wuwa, meta slaves and story lover are majority.

6

u/Apart_Routine2793 Doomscroller: Go Tribalism Go! Mar 02 '26

story lover are majority.

Are you sure they didn't just leave after a whole lot of redundant dating-sim-ish episodes?

1

u/Defiant-Seat5425 Mar 02 '26

Who say you can't come back after leave?   Happen a lot with genshin after that underwhelming inazuma and natlan story

u/Apart_Routine2793 Doomscroller: Go Tribalism Go! Mar 02 '26

I've tried, potato phone can't take it, cloud clogged, forget, back in the last day of Aemeth banner with my account rekt a new one, can't get her, leave one more time
