That doesn't sem very plausible, how many people are driven away from CounterStrike or like League of Legends because the graphics weren't as good as Cyberpunk or whatever?
Theres a LOT of games that compete with AAA-massive-budget games on aggregate like Dwarf Fortress, CS, League, Fortnite, people are still playing arma 2, dayz, rust, etc Rainbow Six: Siege still has adherents and even cash-payout tournaments. EvE: Online, Ultima Online, Runescape, still goin'
These games have like no advertising and are still moneymakers. Eve and UO are like 20 and 30 years old. Heck, Classic WoW!
I wonder if all the games you named combined surpass what Mihoyo makes off the likes of Genshin Impact.
Dunno (maybe wow?) but is it the most expensive graphics hardware giving AAA all the money/air or because they have a great reputation as games, solid consistent advertising, a strong network effect and a spot on the top of new release lists?
I feel like league of legends has, wrt the genshin $s, I honestly haven’t checked!
Do gacha mobile games even require high-end graphics? Genshin Impact doesn't support native ray tracing.
Plenty of titles that support ray tracing eg wuthering waves.
Many gacha titles now offer amazing pc graphics on nvidia cards compared to mobile.
