Drama of the Gacha.
Amidst a sea of voices loud,
And internet hate that did abound,
I hesitated to make a sound,
But truth demands to be avowed.

This game, a gacha, has its place,
Guidelines in development traced,
Yet PM seeks to profit first,
Not solely please their player base.

Implying love for gachagirls,
And male characters not their world,
Invites drama, vile and cruel,
And risks their player base unfurled.

The choice is PM's, to chase the cash,
Or cater to a niche, they must make a dash,
Whether success they find, or they crash,
Their fate is sealed with a market's lash.

As for me, my stance is clear,
I may still play for the aesthetic dear,
But spend no more, for injustice here,
I watch to see where this goes, with fear.

Even though this is the norm for games nowadays, I kind of expected better from PM.

I also would've preferred a more standard single player experience like Ruina, as opposed to a gacha mechanic. Though after some time with this game, I will say, I like it more than I expected to.

They've made a lot of changes so far, but my hope is I will like it even more once more story chapters drop.

I give it a solid "okay so far."

I mean, let's be honest. Ruina didn't have a hard time fulfilling the first one because the main thing going for Lobotomy was story and not the gameplay.

I mean we knew as early as the 2021 Q&A this wasn't going to be a full-scale title like LoR - they pretty much up front admitted this is basically a "We needed a gameplay format that can earn a solid amount of money and which doesn't have a clear endpoint so that we can expand on the lore of the city long-term" [Exact Transcript/Video Below]
Basically: LCompany is just a hold-over title to acquire funding and act as an additional lore dump while they work on other projects of which we know they are working towards a distortion detective VN and have expressed interest in a 3D ARPG and other genres.

I won't disagree the monetization is more predatory due to the gacha nature, but I strongly disagree that Limbus is worse in every way. The story is amazing, music is top-notch, atmosphere is great, and the main cast is incredibly likeable. It far exceeds on-launch LoR in terms of quality, and given time and some polish, can potentially exceed it.

Also, while the gameplay is understandably controversial, it does have some strong moments, such as the chapter 3 boss, so the potential is there.

My brothers in christ, there are literally people who solo or do everything in the game using base IDs and EGO, how in the hell is this predatory

Or are you saying the people who have gambling addictions? jokes on you bud even if that was PMs targets i dont think PM is at fault to those people having addictions like that, maybe its because of their environment, maybe their experiences or their miserable life that they chose to become the prey of gacha predatory monetary ♥♥♥♥, and maybe its their own fault that they are addicted, maybe its a combination of all of those. At either rate if it wasnt PM who exploited them intentionally or unintentionally, another gacha or multiple gacha games would have, it is simply a market that is going to say because people will always be humans.

And also how the hell is this worse than ruina, the dialogue amount is literally reaching the point of ruina and all of its Sephirots including side stories, which is literally this games equivalent of your sinners (it is also worth saying that they fulfill the arbitrary criteria of waifus/husbandos as they are 1. not in a relationship or has a crush or their crush/relationship is dead and 2. it is open-ended on whether they do have one because little to nothing is said about their present situation and relationships in the library and all of them just regret about their past life).

< It is better from previous game, Lobotomy is still much better from sequels tho.
< I am not spending real cash, have 9k lunacy, 5 identities 3*, 11 identities 2*, 200 energy modules, beaten game already, playing only dailies and not even clearing everything everyday. Not seeing any reason to spend cash. What am i doing wrong?

Currently this is THE BEST gacha game both on Android and PC market, with tons of free rewards, good reaction to comunity, often updates, almost instant bug fixes, no need to pay anything to play. Go tell us atleast 3 other game names that are BETTER in all those departments. Then we can talk about Project Moon underperforming in terms of expectations.
Genshin impact is an open world game. Not a gacha. Pretty much like Fortnite. :happyquill:

Man, this is the first time I've triggered someone into writing a poem. Thanks for making my day.
