WhenSaints Rowflopped, the takeaway was that woke games fail.
The inverse never seems to be true.
So how does an industry like that react toInfinity Nikki?
But the signs are there.
It hashad ten million downloads in its first few days on the market.
Being free to play, we’ll have to see how many of these ten million stick around.
But Infinity Nikki has reviewed well and, more importantly, I think it’s pretty good too.
How Do You Repeat Infinity Nikki?
But are they in ours?
The obvious takeaway here is that there is a huge audience for games like this.
Modern Barbie games still do not deliver on that.Infinity Nikki does.
It’s the feeling Infinity Nikki has conjured since its first trailer that has been key to its success.
That feeling also has the fortunate side-effect of weeding out the angriest gamers.
But Infinity Nikki is self-selecting.
Not a game for girls.
A game, for girls.
Game first, audience second.
It was the same with Barbie.
It was a great movie, one that in this particular instance appealed to a female audience.
Unfortunately, I doubt this will be the lesson.
The proof Johnny Executive will take from this is that gamers want six hundred more fashion gacha games.
Just pull the slot machine and win some shoes.
But Infinity Nikki isn’t about the gacha.
It isn’t even really about the dress up.
