My first exposure to "feeding" was Fate/Grand Order, which was originally out on Japan in July of 2015 and earned a total of 4 billion dollars across the globe in the year 2019. To make a character as good as it could absolutely be, I needed to obtain duplicates of each. When a particular advertisement came along I paid up to 300 euros in order to obtain the 5-star character I'd wanted for years. However, I was unable to obtain the copies I needed in order to see this character's full potential. With the D2R Items average rate for most sought-after 5-star characters hovering around 1%, it was no surprise that I was unable to acquire a copy the character during my time engaging in this game (which I have since uninstalled). As of the end of July, 2021 Fate/Grand Order was the seventh highest-grossing mobile game of the past, and was placed after Konami's Puzzle and Dragons. It could be added to the list because it is also a gacha game.
During an GDC 2021 presentation, Genshin Impact developer Hoyoverse (previously Mihoyo) outright admitted that its method for designing characters was to generate the most capital possible from its customers. In the case of Raiden Shogun and Kokomi characters reruns that took place in March 2022 alone brought the company more than $33 million in revenue.
The moment was immortalized in humorous memes and mockery, the majority of it rooted in disappointment of the audience: People who attended BlizzCon 2018 had been hoping for "Diablo 2 Resurrected" announcements. But it also came from an old stigma about smartphone games that are popular in the West which is where the adoption of smartphones as a gaming platform has been slower than in the other regions part of the world.
Since then, "Diablo Immortal" has raised its profile, and alpha and beta tests proved the game was an intense old-fashioned Diablo experience. (It was also a factor in the fact that Blizzard has decided to bring this game on PC.) In the Diablo series is among the most influential games in contemporary game design, and has a reputation for introducing game loops that revolve around acquiring random "loot" to enhance your character's role-playing powerful. "Diablo 2" that was just remastered, cemented the loop, while "Diablo 3" which Cheng was also working on, improved and streamlined it.
The 2018 year was challenging for Cheng and his team, he claimed it only strengthened their resolve to make "Immortal" is a game worthy in the Diablo series, and its launch on mobile is free to play and brings the series to its largest potential audience yet. The game will be released on June 2.
Cheng's enthusiasm for the game was evident in an interview. "I think that 'Diablo Immortal' will make a difference in people's opinions on what they consider to be an mobile game" Cheng told The Washington Post. "That has been one of our main goals since the Diablo II Resurrected Ladder Items beginning. Let's elevate the standards for what you can expect from an online game."
