i hate that it makes sense in a very twisted kind of way

Just when I think I’ve heard the most retarded thing, OP comes along.

No piracy won't keep devs from exploiting whales anymore than no drm would keep consumers from pirating.

then why are gatchas inherently mobile instead of PC based?

Not really
Gacha is the natural consequence of corporate greed
Horse armor would have happened eventually, piracy or not

You can pirate a game but you can't pirate a microtransaction.

>open an image gallery
>pirated gacha

Piracy is the universal scapegoat of every greedy publisher. Plenty of modern games make good profit despite being fully offline and devoid of dlc/mtx. It's just that simply "good profit" isn't good enough for big publishers who promised 800% returns to their shareholders.

That's just a side effect of selling something that's not even the main product

Gacha is the natural consequence of simping

this

why sell a main product if people just pirate it

That's why gacha is winning, you're forced to pay
Devs don't lose money with gacha

It ain't even twisted my dude
makers want money for product they make
pirates don't want to pay money
makers make product that forces you to pay money

Gacha is the effect of using the well established casino psychology in a mainstream product for ages 3+, and getting away with it because law can't keep up with tech. That's literally all it is.

Meme argument
People play gacha with hacked apks too and they're even easier to find than PC cracks
Devs don't lose money period

You've misread my post.

I'm saying that even if piracy was not a thing games companies will still exploit whales.

Look at Overwatch, it's not piratable since it requires servers that are not publicly available. Does that mean Blizzard play ball by simply making the game a one time payment? No. They still use lootboxes because whales are just that damn profitable.

that's just as meaningless as watching cutscenes, you don't actually own the characters

i can just download the pngs of them and stare at them.
Pirates win

>hacked apk
What
Gachas are free to play, retard
But if you want that pretty slut jpg you gotta buy it from the online store currency and you gotta buy game currency with real money

Congrats you figured out why gacha is a hollow experience as a whole

>Devs don't lose money period

noooo you can't just download those jpegs you have to gamble for them like an honorable man

not really, it's like saying that hacking dark souls and then one shotting the end boss instantly is the same as beating the entire game, it's pointless

Sorry user but you're retarded
apk with things like infinite health or stamina make it so you can skip the timegates, grinds and can pass raids that would nomally require the best rarest units
Meaning you get more currency to roll with
Of course they don't
Publishers lose IMAGINARY money that they wanted and theorized they would get
Devs get paid their meager wage either way

Piracy has always existed and games have continued to turn a profit without requiring microtransactions. I refuse to see piracy as anything but an excuse for devs/publishers to push the fault of their game underperforming onto factors besides their own failures.
Plenty of people have found ways to hack Gacha games in order to acquire units without paying.
