Gacha Game releases kino commerical mocking their players and receives huge backlash
Background
Yes, I know this description may accurately describe many gacha games but Nikke is in a special tier of coomer games. You're basically just standing behind these girls fighting some enemies while watching their posterior jiggle. As far as I know that's the entire game. Needless to say, it mogs the likes of Baldur's Gate or Planescape into oblivion.
Recently they released a commerical featuring the average player playing their game and it's absolute pure undistilled kino:

This however was not appreciated by its community in the western and the eastern world leading to a ton of backlash
Nikke TH apologized for making the ads that portray the player base as a perverted otaku.
The Ad contains the main protagonist who resembles the nerdy otaku stereotype doing a lewd act while playing the Nikke game on mobile like pretending to lick the screen, stroking the hand like jerking off, and imagining for 3 Nikke to do the twerk in front of him and sexually please him.
The Ad quickly gets negative feedback from the majority of the community players since this's basically an insult from the publisher. Most of the comments said that they shouldn't portray the player base like that, the ad is too focused on the sexual, and some even said disgusting.
On the January 12th, the next day after the incident Nikke's official Thailand page made an apology announcement about the ad that said they received the comment that some players feel uncomfortable with the ad and we're truly sorry for what happened
The Apology
If you can read what these ΰΉΰΈΰΈ΅ΰΈ’ΰΈ‘ΰΈΰΈ·ΰΈ are saying: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=158436100286576
Since the team released a new online ad on January 11th on the game's social media channels in the Thai region, after the team released the ad, we received Some comments from players that represent inappropriateness in the content and presentation style of the said advertisement. The team must apologize and apologize for any content and style of presentation in this ad. That results in players being extremely uncomfortable or dissatisfied. For this error, the team has acknowledged the lack of care in considering the presentation of content in advertisements and has been published in detail The team has already removed and suspended the distribution of such advertisements from the official social media channels of the Thai region in all channels of the game. The team would like to thank you for all the comments from all players. The team will take comments and suggestions from players to improve and develop content. The form of advertising and promoting the game to be better in the future. Including careful and thorough refrain from presenting more sensitive content in various fields. The team apologizes for the incident that happened once again.
"A lot of other things have been said. I would like to add that please do your homework before thinking of content. π Each promotion is sexy. Character character does not exist. but just let the pretty wear a dress Can't touch that character at all, just a provocative girl. π€¨Puzzling, my favorite character isn't like that. π§People who play games are not only men. And not everyone will play with bouncy butts. Respect the players."
""Some players", right? And the rest is that they are okay with erotic ads. Do you insult the game and the players? Make an ad to insult both the player and the game itself. Is that really all there is?"
"Get apologies in diamonds and free tickets."
"Because you come to work without understanding the sensitive issues of the community in the first place, even though it is the field of work that should be aware of this aspect the most. How much investment has been made in brand image? It's probably not too expensive to recruit new people."

My takeaway from this is that there's extremely few attractive Asian pornstars and horny otaku with yellow fever turn to these games to cope. If there were more hot Asian pornstars these games would probably lose half their market in like two seconds. Almost all of the existing Asian porn actresses are very mid, with rare exceptions. You'll almost never see a hot Asian doing porn.
Kind of a weird flex for these game companies to be pointing it out though. We live in the era of OnlyFans and while authentic Asians may be too sensitive to cultural norms to do porn, there are plenty of American women of Asian descent who will very quickly fill this void. Why would they want to put a commercial out to remind their userbase that they only exist because of inefficiencies in the marketplace?
