Girls' Frontline 2 Revenue Plummet Sparks Mockery: 'Yu Zhong Is Very Satisfied, His Israeli Sugar Daddy Will Pay'

A single revenue chart — how much drama can it cause? Players of Girls' Frontline 2: Exilium recently shared a suffocating income curve: a nosedive with no sign of recovery. But what really set the community ablaze wasn't the numbers themselves — it was that legendary quote from the 'Templar Knight' meme: Yu Zhong is very satisfied.

The original poster opened with a savage comparison: 'Some games chase Genshin and surpass Honkai: Star Rail — this one just follows its own path straight into the abyss.' The very first reply delivered a precision strike: 'I thought this was some honest decade-old game that never milked its players.'

The bulk of the community's fury zeroed in on Yu Zhong, CEO of Sunborn Network and creator of the Girls' Frontline series. He's long been the subject of the infamous community meme 'Yu Zhong is very satisfied' — meaning no matter how badly the game performs, the devs act like everything is fine. Players took turns roasting him mercilessly: one invoked the 'Templar Knight' (an in-game meme): 'Love this Templar Knight quote — Yu Zhong is very satisfied with the revenue.' Another quipped, 'Relax, if Yu Zhong isn't worried, why should you be?' And someone went further: 'Yu Zhong is at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem following Trump's footsteps — he couldn't care less about Chinese players' opinions.'

This naturally led to the second major talking point: Sunborn Network's alleged ties to Israeli capital. Multiple comments hinted at or directly mentioned Israeli funding behind GFL2. 'Maybe he's earning Israeli foreign exchange,' 'Israel pays the bills, why would Sunborn panic,' 'Maybe his Zionist sugar daddy footed the bill' — while these claims are steeped in community hostility and lack concrete evidence, they paint a vivid picture of just how deeply players distrust this company.

Beyond the revenue nosedive, the game's live operations aren't looking any better. One player shared detailed screenshots and analysis of the current event: a 'Wishlist' login event requiring 7 consecutive days of logins, offering a pittance — roughly 1.3 Tier-6 gold nodes, 1.75 Tier-5 gold nodes, 4 gacha pulls, and 100 premium currency. For this meager haul, the event spans a full two weeks.

A deeper analysis from another player suggested this hastily thrown-together event is likely an emergency measure triggered by collapsing daily active user numbers. They pointed out that the previous Wishlist event had a dedicated page and a proper schedule, while both recent login events were distributed via in-game mail — 'one of them obviously required manual tracking.' Their conclusion: 'I suspect daily active users are completely unmanageable and revenue has imploded. Someone must be panicking — if they don't drop something big soon, it's really going to be Sunborn goes boom, boom. The whole company is probably pulling all-nighters with Yu Zhong personally cracking the whip on the writing team.'

One commenter added the perfect punchline: 'Yu Zhong: We gave out so many pulls and stamina — lowering the next event's level requirement to 45 shouldn't be a problem, right?' — a sly jab at the devs masking content drought with freebies.

The post ended on an unexpectedly comedic note: one user confessed, 'Reading all this gossip has me sweating — I just downloaded the client, I never actually played, please don't come for me.' A fitting disclaimer to wrap up this collective roast session.

All told, from the revenue cliff-dive to the lazy events, from 'Yu Zhong is very satisfied' to the Israeli capital conspiracy theories, GFL2's community vibe has shifted from 'tough love' to full-blown 'watching the trainwreck with popcorn.' As for how long this ship stays afloat — even Yu Zhong himself might not be 'very satisfied' anymore.
