When a gacha game that launched less than two months ago drops out of the top 50 on both the revenue chart AND the free chart right before Christmas, you know it's experiencing a textbook launch disaster. Enter Girls' Frontline 2: Exilium (少前2：追放) — the game the entire community has been watching like a car crash in slow motion.
The original poster made a key observation: under normal circumstances, many gacha players pre-charge their accounts before new banners drop to optimize day-one pulls. This 'pre-charge effect' should cause at least a small bump in revenue rankings. But the chart shows absolutely zero sign of life — flat as a doornail.
The NGA comment section responded with a chorus of pure schadenfreude. One player quipped with dripping sarcasm: 'Nobody cares? Oh wait — EVERYONE is watching! Just as we all hoped!' Others crowned it the 'uncrowned king' (无冕之王) — a backhanded title implying that while GFL2 hasn't achieved anything positive, it's absolutely dominating the 'speedrun to death' category.
The legendary copium phrase '节后涨' (post-holiday recovery) — a meme born from fans and possibly official sources promising that revenue would bounce back 'after the holidays' — got dragged through the mud once again. One commenter sneered: 'Don't worry haters, once the Christmas offensive launches, you'll all be routed!' Another player shot back: 'Can it even surpass launch numbers? Just tell me — is it higher than before the holiday or not?' This self-Q&A style of savage sarcasm has become the community's daily bread.
The comments also got substantive about the game's monetization problems. One player pointed out that almost nobody in the community discusses 'high constellation' (高命座) character builds — the gacha equivalent of pulling duplicates for power boosts. When players aren't even talking about whale-tier upgrades, that's a massive red flag for spending appetite. The constellation system combined with the SRPG gameplay design has essentially zero pull potential given the game's toxic reputation. Another commenter joked that the director (dubbed '翀子' by the community) is 'too busy adding accessories to Character 95 to care about you' — a jab at the dev team obsessing over cosmetic details of a controversial character while the game burns around them.
The game's aggressive ad spending (买量/UA) became yet another punching bag. 'Our revenue chart may be low, but our BUYING chart is high!' one user mocked. Another piled on: 'Hurry up and buy more traffic to save face! Wait... don't tell me you can't even afford THAT anymore?' This suggests the game's user acquisition budget may be running dangerously thin.
The most gut-wrenching comment came from a self-described OG player of GFL1: 'As someone who genuinely enjoyed the first game, I'd have felt bad if the sequel was merely mediocre. But it turned out so rotten to the core that now I've transformed into a pure entertainment enjoyer — just watching to see when this thing finally dies.' The emotional journey from disappointment to morbid curiosity, captured in a single paragraph.
Everyone is now staring at the same date on the calendar — December 25th. 'We're all waiting for the explosive meltdown on the 25th,' as one player put it. Whether Christmas delivers a miraculous comeback or an even bigger faceplant, the answer is probably already written in those plummeting chart numbers.
