Does the Gacha game have a limit?
It can be seen that it is no longer rare for games to combine to create interesting events and exchange activities. This happens even more in Gacha games – a game series with unique operating mechanisms and containing many similar elements between products. Normally, this cooperation activity will bring many benefits. Among them, the most obvious thing is that the game titles have increased “coverage” to many different gamers.
Over the past few years, the international gaming industry has recorded many unique combinations. In particular, there is a very interesting case, every time we cooperate with a product, it is assumed that that product will be discontinued in the future. That is the story of Punishing: Gray Raven – a popular game product from publisher Kuro Games. So, what is the real problem of the huge problem that Punishing: Gray Raven is facing?
God of War Gacha “If you touch it, it's broken”…
Perhaps, it would be a bit harsh to say that Punishing: Gray Raven possesses extremely strong “power”. However, it cannot be denied that this game has caused three other games to close. First, Punishing: Gray Raven collaborated with NieR:Automata Resurrected in December 2022. After just over a year, another game in the NieR series, NieR Reincarnation, has surprisingly confirmed its shutdown.
And yet, Punishing: Gray Raven has just cooperated with Black Rock Shooter, the audience realized that, not long ago, the predecessor game Black Rock Shooter FRAGMENT also announced its death. Even recently, Punishing: Gray Raven just announced its collaboration with Devil May Cry 5 and was discovered by players. Another game, Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat, is also preparing to “disappear” in December.
It is truly a coincidence that Punishing: Gray Raven is truly dubbed the “Gacha Killer”. Although it was not intended, this game is still causing gamers around the world to talk about it on large and small forums.
