And Heroes accounted for over half of it. Which is why Nintendo insisted to just do a girl gacha game \u2014 a GGG, if you will.<\/p>\n<p>And sure, that&#8217;s still $2.2 billion in revenue. But we don&#8217;t really know the profits, since I believe it was total revenue reported. And that&#8217;s between, what, like 8 games? How much did they all cost? F*** if I know, but the costs certainly increase with every game. So you can probably assume most of their games weren&#8217;t worth the effort, aided by the fact that most are delisted. And with no other title even reaching half of Heroes revenue: &#8220;Generally not worth it. Just make some Gacha with anime women and call it a day.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"ui-comment-tools\">\n<li class=\"likes first last\">0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article
