Big words prediction

9. Asia’s game developers will move away from character gacha monetization

A new trend we’ve started to see emerge in the market is video game developers announcing that their new games or existing games will either no longer have loot boxes, remove character gacha elements, or are being branded as non-pay to win. This focus on fairer gameplay and monetization comes amid market saturation in the gacha game segment, where even miHoYo is seeing increased competition among its own portfolio. Regulatory trends and general player fatigue is also playing a role, and we expect more games to market themselves as not including these features going forward.

    Well, I still like unite and will be sad if it goes away. And yes, I gave in and paid for a few battle passes and a couple other holowears... If it went away, my investment in my future enjoyment of the game (while using those items) would disappear as well. Please save unite.
