While I agree with you to an extent, I have no idea why you're lumping in Fortnite with stuff like Genshin and HSR. Yes, Fortnite is live service, but you aren't paying for power. Anything you can buy in Fortnite is purely cosmetic, there's no gambling at all either. This video sounds more like you're sick of how popular gacha games are, which I completely agree with, I stopped playing Hoyo games because it's basically just gambling with a game on top, feels more like a job than a game to me. But I don't see the issue with other free live service games that make you pay if you want to just look cool
Hoyo didn't invent loot boxes. Even without a gambling mechanic, the hard difficulty wall you run into will either force you into a grind/task loop which will take years or get you to spend money. These companies making games are all following the money and this is not going to be good for gamers.
Yes, I'm still using HSR footage because I still don't know how to stream my Switch game footage. Make no mistake, I quit.
