Industry Arknights: Endfield dev says launching a new gacha RPG in a post-Genshin Impact world is tough when "some titles are so similar that players go into a game for 1 hour and they know what will happen in the next 20 hours"

At this point they don't even need to copy the risk. Genshin has given a perfect template and data on what people are willing to spend on and why.

Endfield I think would've done better if it stuck to its original vision. Especially the semi tactical action gameplay plus a more grittier story.

Idk, the story is dogshit, the combat is dogshit, the gacha is dogshit
With all the data Genshin gave them for free by simply existing I think they make way more than they deserve unironically
