#034: RIP Gacha? The era of 'Respect' begins 📉 (feat. This week's viral meme 😂)

Recently, Capcom's new IP 'Pragmata' was released to overwhelming acclaim, and the highly anticipated subculture game 'Neverness to Everness' is taking a bold step by introducing a gacha system without 'off-rate' pulls—the biggest stress factor for users. At the same time, 'Clair Obscur: Expedition 33' has swept major awards, proving that original gameplay is rapidly emerging as the market mainstream. 🎮 This phenomenon suggests that **consumer psychology** has shifted from mere possessiveness to 'rational consumption and fair rewards.' Gamers no longer open their wallets for opaque probabilities or inertia-driven systems. In a market structure where platform boundaries are blurring and options are expanding, only titles that minimize user stress and provide high-quality narratives are forming strong fandoms. 📉 Ultimately, the game industry has entered an era where **'respect for a user's time and emotional sunk costs' becomes the core competitive edge.** Technology is now just a basic requirement; building a solid relationship of trust with users, rather than maximizing short-term profitability, has become the only metric determining the survival and long-term success of an IP. 💡 The pendulum of the industry has already swung from provider-centric to consumer-centric. Is your game selling simple stimulation to users, or is it providing sustainable value? 🧐

🤔 What happened?

Under the title 'Why does my laptop get hot whenever I play games?', a photo of a 'laptop abuse' scene where the vents were completely blocked by a fluffy blanket caused visual shock and pity among gamers worldwide.

💬 One-liner

A blanket is not a cozy sanctuary for a laptop, but a torture chamber that chokes it... Please, just use a stand! 🔥💻
