For context I'm talking about the younger players and while Genshin and XIV aren't one to one (Genshin isn't an MMO) they're both live service titles competing for gamers time.

Genshin has a different problem tho. It's a gacha. And apparently an exploitative one at that. Tho very few gachas aren't.
