Umamusume: Pretty Derby is the latest free to play game to get you to pay real money for the possibility of getting an even gooderer anthropomorphized female character based on a real thing than ever before!
Who is your favorite Honse? Is it the one who never won a race?
Is it the one who broke it's leg?
Is it the one who broke it's leg mid race and had to be Ol' Yeller'd?
...oh... uhm I meant the other one who broke it's leg mid race and had to be Ol' Yeller'd.
Weird that there's two of them, right?
I can be as sarcastic and glib as I want but that doesn't change the fact that there is something here and it's not showing signs of stopping. What I can only really describe, very poorly as I'm not running the risk of falling for "just one more pull", as a management, stat game is becoming a force of nature.
EDIT:
I have been informed by people who have actually played it that it is a kind of princess maker like game. You monitor your honse's stats and emotions to get her into the best shape so she can win. If that interests you then remember that the first pretty derby is always free.
The game started as a mobile game in gorious Nippon and remained on that side of the International Date Line, infecting the likes of China, Korea and others. There is reporting that a FREE TO PLAY game has raked in $2.4 BILLION dollars as of March 2024
Yes. That is just last year's numbers. One day Cygames said "I ruvu money! We needu morl Yen-des! Howa we mayku morl Yen-des?" Hiro Watanabe from accounting responded with "What about Americans? They'll eat this shit up." and eat it up the English speaking world has. After just a month of being released, player count seems to have plateaued at a healthy 48k-50k.
For the record, these screen shots were taken today, July 15th, 2025. It can only be speculated how many burger whales will continue to fund the honse machine for just one more ten pull. Time will only tell how long this will hold but I don't know why it wouldn't.
Hell, Cygames bought a sponsorship spot at THE Kentucky Deby!
So come one, come all and spin a yarn of how you trained Sakura Bakushin O from nothing to something. Regale us with the tale of how much money you spent on El Condor Pasa because it's funny that she's on team Spica which kinda sounds like how a nip would say spic. Lament as you tell your tale as a terrible trainer who tanked tragic Transcend's career. Have fun, don't spend too much money, and remember that horse fuckers get a shotgun blast to the head faster than Rice Shower.
