Gacha games arent a tiny share of the market today. Go look up what type of money those earn if you don't believe me.

They’re big earners but the numbers are suspect due to people running Alts and whales. These games are also on phones. We don’t know the phone/pc revenue split.

Whales are exactly the audience gacha games target. It's not suspect it's expected.

I'm looking into it again and it seems Mihoyo games aren't exclusive to EGS anymore or at least not ZZZ. So forget what I said about EGS having gatch exclusives.

The PC and console playerbase has surpassed the numbers of phone players for most modern gacha games a long time ago. Besides that a lot of them are matching the visuals and gameplay of major modern console releases. Look up "Neverness to everness" if you don't believe me. A lot of people can't even run games like that on their phone even if they wanted to.
