It's time to remind everyone that Daddy Da Wei knows best
HoYoverse is a multi-billion-dollar international megacorporation. They can afford to hire the finest, smartest, and most highly educated financial analysts in the entire gacha industry, who are themselves seasoned veterans after spending years developing and publishing multiple successful gacha games.
They employ tens of thousands of people across multiple regions, with entire departments dedicated to market research, game design strategy, monetization, and player-behavior analytics. They spend millions on advertising, data collection, and forecasting, with teams of analysts, economists, and strategists whose entire job is to determine exactly what will sell and maximize long-term profit from every release.
The combined experience of HoYoverse's leadership and the expertise of their countless highly paid professionals therefore points overwhelmingly toward the same conclusion. That is to say that after all that research, all that data, all those years of experience, and all those highly educated experts analyzing every possible outcome, they determined that HoYoverse would make more money by releasing a random four-star brick with minimal involvement in the story and no significant purpose in gameplay than if they had turned just one among the following:
- Signora
- Capitano
- Dottore
- Pulcinella
- Pantalone
- Rerir
- Ronova
- Madam Ping
- Guizhong
- Moon Carver
- Mountain Shaper
- Andrius
- Dvalin
- Azdaha
- Apep
into playable characters.
