Reading what the anni Servant is is like going down a flight of stairs, but you're missing every step and eating shit all the way down.
"Oh it's Ereshkigal. In a summer alt. From the Servantverse. In a Beast alt. Weak to Avenger so they can keep her one-note rivalry with Ishtar. Waow."
So, review time, this is what I mean when i keep talking about how most of the audience doesnt matter to people who make gacha, and casting a wide net etc.
This is always the endpoint of gachas no matter how good or bad they start out. We've seen this with Genshin and how when it finally started to fall off, instead of implementing things most fans wanted they created an entirely new game with those requested features but kept Genshin as is and instead used it to springboard a new gacha.
the sea creature comparisons with gacha players aren't arbitrary, it's about WHY non whales matter in the first place. It's about how fishing works and net sizes.
When mass fishing as, the mesh size is very important, as in the distances between each section of the net. The reason for this is that when mass fishing for a specific market, you dont want your haul to consist of unintended fish who live in the same area that then have to spend that much more time being sorted through and tossed back. Basically it's a way of selectively filtering out the small fry.
You can probably already see where I'm going with this. Gacha does the same thing. it casts a massively wide net that will surround all sorts of players but as that net gets pulled in, all but the biggest catches will slip out of the net because they never mattered in the first place, it was just about maximizing the small concentrated number of big fish. The whales. Fuck everything else, it can be filtered out, it's not efficient to even try to catch them.
And so, these "massive" gacha who "are different, this one's good" end up in the exact same place every time.
