The story was extremely character-driven, all the girls had individual stories you could play through, each of them could be popped onto your homescreen with full Live2D animations and voice-acted time-of-day-relative greetings regardless of their rarity-the nature of the game really got you to care about them. Now, I've played a lot of gacha games, but Magia Record was by far the one that made me grow most attached to the characters. I used to play Magia Record and the EN server closure blindsided everyone-not least of all because they released an extremely hyped unit and tried to cash in on that right before announcing they were shutting down, barely a year into release. Makes it really hard to think about playing these games at all anymore.Ī related story for you. I can still go back and look at my accomplishments in SNES or PS1 games, but gacha games are unique in that one day, everything you ever worked for will just vanish and become meaningless.ĭamn. Everything you've ever achieved in a game will just disappear one day? I guess the answer is "That would take time and money, and there is no reason to spend further time and money on a game that is being abandoned" but.damn.
#GACHA LIFE GAME OVER UPDATE#
By tapping 'I Agree', you're acknowledging that nothing in this game has any permanence, and that you don't have any right to 'own' anything in this game forever."īut, still.there have got to be gacha games that do something nice for their players when they shut down, right? I mean, if the game is shutting down anyway, why not just release a final update that removes all server checks and just lets the player go through the menus and stuff? In the terms of service that you click "I Agree" to before you start playing a gacha game, I'm sure there's a clause that says "One day, this game will stop existing, and on that day, you'll lose everything. But.I suppose that would be a super naive expectation, huh? I'd like to imagine that Azur Lane will simply convert into a single-player game that doesn't require an internet connection, so that you can still load it up and look at all your accomplishments and collections. When that happens.what'll happen to all the ships I collected? One day, the developers of Azur Lane will probably be ready to leave it behind and move on to their next project. But it would be a little naive of me to expect it to exist forever. I've collected over 540 ships in Azur Lane.
