Gocha games are an example of "games gamers actually want". You don't need to ask people define what they want, you need to see what's selling and just do that, because sales and profits are something you CAN measure.

But I doubt the DEI departments at Sony, EA, Ubisoft and Microsoft will ever let them release games with waifus and jiggle physics, so they'll have to keep saying no to free money on the table just to die on that hill.

Edit: The gocha waifu anecdote was an example to prove a point, I'm not advocating that that's the only way to make money and that everyone should start making that. There's other successful examples besides gocha.
