I have 41/51 characters, all of which are fully built with their levelled talents, unique weapons & artifacts. Congrats and screw you lads!Įdit ('cause other subs called this a P2W scam): $60 got me 25 five star pulls and 400 wishes saved. So yeah, I'm happy for and very jealous of Hoyoverse for this masterpiece. I've spent only $60 on this game in the last 2 years and I've gotten more fun out of it than many other games combined. If Genshin is going to keep this level of quality to the end of this Teyvat chapter (4 years from now), I'm all in for this ride. Meaning for every dollar that they put in, they get back ~$15, which is just f**ing crazy!! Return on Investment: Considering that they have spent 500M until now and they make $3.7B per year, the ROI is around 1380%. The first Destiny may be a close competitor as the devs have unofficially stated that it cost them $500M to 'develop the franchise', whatever that means. The closest official competitor will be Star Citizen, which is probably never gonna release and Cyberpunk 2077 which comes in third now. Then there is full voice acting in four languages, marketing, production design, servers and a lot more. Considering an average yearly wage of $75K (IT pays a lot more than this), it makes it a minimum of 50M+ per year in salaries. The numbers do make sense because they have 700+ people on this IP. The next year, they issued a statement mentioning that it costs $200M per year to produce new content and keep everything running on schedule. Hoyoverse made Genshin at an initial budget of $100M, which officially made it the 12th in the list of big budget games. Genshin Impact will have cost Hoyoverse $500 million by its second anniversary, making it the most expensive game ever made!
