The numbers are in — Girls' Frontline 2's (少前2: 追放) Daiyan rerun banner pulled in a grand total of $13,934 in overseas revenue. That's it. Compared to her original banner debut, this rerun flatlined so hard that the community is literally saying "just let this game die already."


Here's the revenue chart and the 18:00 hourly ranking — $13,934, plain as day. One player had jokingly bet that the banner would peak at rank 170 on the top-grossing chart, offering to give away a copy of Dragon's Dogma 2 if it went higher. Safe to say that guy gets to keep his copy.


But wait, there's more. Some sharp-eyed players noticed that the rerun skins are being sold at full price — zero discount. When Daiyan's banner first launched, the skins came with a 20% off deal. So the rerun somehow costs MORE than the original? One commenter nailed it: "Whoever buys this is a total sucker regardless. It's a chibi tactical game — you'd need a magnifying glass to even see the skins."
To be fair, some defenders pointed out that "most gacha games do this — discounted at launch, full price on rerun, it's standard practice." But even they couldn't help adding: "Discounted or not, buying this is peak copium." The community also dug up the infamous quote from the game's producer Yu Shaozhong (于少翀), nicknamed "Chong" by players: "Stop being loyal for free and actually spend some money!" — a plea that aged like milk given these numbers. The irony writes itself: the so-called "loyal soldiers" (尽孝 = showing verbal devotion without spending) and "turtle shells" (crystal-hardcore fans) are all talk and no wallet.
If the dismal revenue was just "expected at this point," the next move enters legendary territory of dev incompetence — players discovered that new value packs appeared in the shop after the rerun launched, with inventory set to 2. Sounds normal? Veteran players immediately flagged it: the identical packs from before all had inventory of 1. The community collectively lost it: "What kind of galaxy-brain move is this? I genuinely cannot comprehend."

Quietly doubling the pack inventory from 1 to 2 — players read this as "the boss is truly panicking now" (帝国董事长 = "the empire's chairman," a sarcastic title for Sunborn's management). It reeks of a desperate Hail Mary to squeeze whatever's left from this banner, and it only made the revenue collapse look even worse.
The comment section has devolved into a full-on vulture-watching session. One player mused that "if Daiyan's rerun could somehow outperform the recent banners, it would be the ultimate irony for Sunborn who always looked down on her" — but alas, no such miracle occurred. Another dropped the final nail: "I've developed a daily habit of praying for the locusts (蝗虫, a slang term players use to mock GFL2) to just die." At this point, Girls' Frontline 2's rerun didn't just fail to make money — it's speedrunning through whatever goodwill was left.
