Today i woke up to some crazy news, yes people are boycotting Genshin. This is the first time ive seen the Genshin Community stand up like this and it is definitely a big moment, Genshin Players are angry at Hoyoverse and demand changes. Over 1 million people have unfollowed Genshin and more are following suit. in China people are boycotting Genshin and other major companies. This is all following the recent Genshin 4.4 Lantern rite Livestream where many fans were disappointed with the rewards and now we have to see what Hoyoverse have to say?

i just interesting what owner-s for mihoyo thinking about this shit or is really producer folt for bad updates
I think Hoyo can afford to give a 5 star selector for Genshin even if it is just from the standard banner pool. I also think the CN player base are over reacting a bit. If a free item is tied behind a purchase, then it’s a conditional free item, meaning it’s not really free. I get a free pack of nugget only if I purchase 2 kids meal. It’s legit business tactics.
True, free content is a short term fix. BUT, long term content doesn’t exist either. Where’s endgame???
But the game is not fun there's alot of things genshin has to fix
We need end game content, co up needs to be fun, we need more combat focus
Genshin had the potential to be the best game of all time but it just had to be a gacha game lol.
I understand your words bro. But, 3 years of same 3 Small event and 1 big event is nasty. And that primos are not reaching 60pity though. Genshin Dev's had math problem they need Dr. Ratio from HSR.
Hm, so basically way better rewards than that genshin impact first anniversary that gave 40 primos at first (lol so the same reward as the completion of the daily commission system minus the bonus for getting all 4 done) because it's 3 wishes which is technically better. Welp, I'm kinda scared of that side because they are a bit uh batshit insane and crazy violent sometimes over things I don't understand why it's a big deal, but it is fair to want 10+ wishes or 1600+ primos since that's what they got after they rebelled the first time. Considering the Lantern Rite is definitely supposed to be for Chinese New Year and they make it a big thing, I guess you can expect a large amount of rewards to celebrate.
See, I do get it but I'm also of the mind that "hey free stuff is free stuff, it's too stressful to get angry about things anymore, I'm tired and just want to play a game and have fun. :'D"
All Im gonna say is strike the iron when it is hot global won't get this chance again
The CN Community are upset because of the statement made thanking us for accompanying them for the last year and giving us 3 Free wishes.
Boycot Cai Haoyu 📢📢📢
When i saw boycotting in the title I actually thought it was because the war with Palestine and Israel
I was scared that I had to stop genshin 😅😅
1st anniversary vibes except now the CN players are upset… after like 3+ years without realising how minuscule their rewards are. I wouldn’t be surprised if they pulled off another outrageous Google Classroom raid.
Plus your take on free stuff is kinda underwhelming as it kinda misses the point of this boycott. We’re talking about a huge event in Genshin and due to factors contributing to players’ expectations e.g. HSR’s free Dr Ratio – players expect similar rewards but nope, they get basically the same stuff like every lantern rite with little additions here and there.
I love scandals bc free stuff ☺
they always put half a band-aid 🩹 to their problems like the weapon banner. honestly replacing the guy whos not making genshin great is a big W you gotta be delusional to not figure out genshin got some stingy problems so im all in it for the chinese voicing their anger. they making me waste my time doing artifacts and daily giving me mediocre reward or lots of crap substats.
Brainwashed dumbos and genshin influencers : "4.4 IS PEAK!"
Yeah another same old lantern rite with 20 pulls max and fireworks cutscene, woohoo 🙄
(Dont forget future updates that will make us all spend more money because genshit team are super greedy they are on their way to be EA level)
You are coping real hard but at least you're poliete about it. You miss the point about free stuff. Yes we dont play the game for free stuff. Its about respect and validation. Having a company listen to its players and give out free things makes you feel valued and respected. For a game as successful as Genshin impact – for crying out loud it is the most successful gacha game on the planet and it WOULD NOT be able to achieve that without its die hard fans. They make millions upon millions of dollars. They themself said they make about 150% profit perpatch. (basically the cost to produce each patch they making it back 1.5 times over which is INSANE profit.)
When everyone knows all this, and then you see how the company ignores the begging for new features and the extreme stingieness when they are bathing in money it makes you feel like extremely disrepected and undervalued.
Can you understand this sentiment sir?
I don't quite understand why you said that rewards won't revive a dead game. Are you saying that HSR is a dead game or what? If it didn't apply to HSR, then what was it about anyway?
People just complain that Genshin-team simply does not respect its players when it comes to thanking them for anything. For the support, for the profit. Yes, at least for something.
CN community was furious when they heard on the developers' stream that they would send them 3 pulls in the mail FOR SUPPORTING THE GAME FOR A YEAR. It literally sounded like a joke. They could just send those three pulls without saying anything.
People complain that the "gratitude" for the annual support of the game is calculated not in something unique and inimitable, but literally in 3 pulls. As CN players said, "it's just a joke. If I leave the game for two weeks, I will get more pulls from the event for returning than what they give as thanks for the support".
I love this game a TON, not even looking at StarRails treatment– Genshin is one of if not the longest-standing Gacha game that's stayed relevant. That's such a huge hurdle, from power creep and relevancy, so many Gacha games die out SO fast.
I know we're not entitled to anything, it's a free game after all, but 3 years is such a long run (and it's still going strong) that it would be nice to get a little more special treatment than the usual shindig.
I don't have a PS5, but if the console + Controller was customized more for a genshin theme, I would get it.
They need to change.
Rewards not being the problem ?
As much as I hate to mention this, please watch tectone's video starting with title "Breaking" from a day ago. The man chases content a lot but that video sums this up. His staff of homa pulls and ranting did make hoyo add pity to the weapon banner, so Ig this is one of the few Ws there. But please do watch it. You will be more informed on this.
It's true that you can't fix any game by throwing free stuff on the players but it's not just about that.
A lot of players have spent 3+ years playing this game and have been looking forward to some updates that make the game less grindy and more fun.
3 years later? Nothing for genshin but HSR gets all the features genshin players want. 5* weapons in shop, ability to choose standard characters, no resin/energy cap, much better artifact system etc etc.
Mihoyo have shown time and time that they give 0 Fs about genshin players. Free GOOD limited 5* for HSR anniversary was the straw that broke the camel's back. We can't even get a skin selector for the anniversary.
Having the devs be less stingy from time to time helps keep players interested.
giving everyone the skin selector would have been perfect and a reasonable reward
DAWEI TIME TO GO, LET PRESIDENT XI TAKE OVER!
So, the game has no problems (aside from the obvious two that are farming and Abyss), and this is all because of the usual kids that are crying about free stuff…
I am pretty certain that most of the kids that cry about rewards every single time have not spend anything on the game.
I have been playing since the first week, getting the Blessing and BP every single time, and I am perfectly happy with what I get from these, anything else is just a bonus.
Could they give more? Of course, we are talking about digital stuff that they have already made. Giving more free stuff will just slightly lower their profits.
Should they give more? No, there is no reason to give more than what they already do.
These kids should stop crying, and maybe even better, leave the game for ever. No one will miss them, and HoYo will not lose anything from them .They don't provide anything in the first place, they just leech content from what the rest of us pay.
Hoyoverse sure is in a tough spot now. Like think about it, other than this riot from the chinese community, there's also the Gacha Regulation Law that is currently being cooked up in China that they need to look out for. Other than that, should they resolve this uproar by giving away rewards, satisfying ones, rewards that would appease not just the chinese but also the global, because only pleasing the chinese would just lead to a rewind of the 1st anniversary incident, which was quite crazy, even involving other apps not owned by Mihoyo. Soo if they resolve by giving said rewards they would of course incur losses. Now let's say the uproar has subsided, the entire Genshin community have been somewhat satisfied. Now comes the anniversary for Starrail. And since it's their first anniversary, players and fans will also be looking forward for satisfying rewards, especially given that the game is still new and it has to continually flow tempting rewards to invite more players to play the game. Now, after the mess from the lantern rite, will Hoyoverse have the resources to fund satisfying rewards for the 1st anniversary for Starrail?
Buy a PS5 , get a free skin. LOL. Hoyo really treats their Genshin players like trash. Why do they hate their players so much?
So I agree that throwing free stuff at people will not always solve the issue for all games. If the core gameplay is bad and unfun to play, people won't play. However, I think it's different in this case. Genshin and Starrail are not the same game, but they are both gacha games and therefore collecting units is core gameplay in both games for many players. They should definitely work on making combat and exploration more fun, but they should also have meaningful rewards as well
People complain I think Genshin figured out that they gained new players that way, because the game was all over social media. As far as I know the word to mouth about this game increased it did not decrease, and no matter what you people believe about how these stuff works is not impactful. If the people that work with these statistics can prove to Hoyoverse that they ADD to the total player base by doing "dramatic stuff" they won't quit doing it. As far as I know people only "boycott" the game for like a week and than they are back to their favoritte addiction. The game has never been healthier , more new players are added each day those that quit are people that played for years, and that is normal in Gacha culture and something Hoyo predicted before hand. So that is most likely baked in to the business model they might even want to push out those players because they are being so loud on the internet.
the thing is it half about the free stuff its more on hoyo to make us believe they care about this game because other then the music they really dont we believe they see everything as money and the only thing they dont cheap out on is live music set design is hit or miss we dont know how much it is but the truth is do you believe the anniversary rewards or the lantern rite prove they care about the game or its players because for a good amount of people it doesnt
i stopped caring about doom events end of 2023. gg
Cmon guys lets reviw bomb genshin
Thank you for your hard work my bro ❤
If Mihoyo keep causing drama, especially in China, they will be being watched by the government more that's why they only care for their Chinese players. 3 fates as reward is the same as no reward. How the hell did genshin devs cannot see this? 😡
Bro parent company is same that's why we need to compare, there is differences between 3 years but not getting what we need and 8-9 month old still massive improvement every version,
It's fair for different games, but it isn't fair if parent company is same of different games.
I literally don’t understand some people… if someone is complaining that they want more stuff in a game that you are already happy with, then why not let them get you more stuff?
Genshins rewards are trash, it’s literally worse than almost every other game like it but it makes the most money, make that make sense, if someone is good and happy great for you… now just shut the hell up and let people get more stuff is how I see it… it’s even disrespectful and disingenuous to tell someone they are being greedy and asking for to much as a lot of Genshin players do, someone trying to get you more stuff literally has no downsides as long as no one is getting hurt, if CN say fuck Hoyo we aren’t playing with trash rewards just let it happen it’s there right, if your happy then your set…
you don’t need to try to get everyone else less stuff because you feel like what is enough for you should be what everyone is happy with that’s fucked up. Genshin has a community that no in the real world can take seriously because the community makes excuses for a company that is being toxic to the players, to Hoyo the players are sheep, Genshin’s community also uses gaslighting on anyone that’s not happy with the game, the weapon banner is insane, you can’t even get a 5star every update but Hoyo uses characters as the new thing in place of gameplay and new fights, bosses aren’t hard enough to keep players attention for very long, they don’t put large numbers of enemies in the same spots or with bosses, chest don’t give enough rewards for the effort the story can’t be skipped but if you are farming for a character on the banner you don’t have time to sit in story and farm at the same time, the teapot could actually hold players attention a lot but they won’t up the size, we don’t have pets, we don’t have Loadouts, they won’t buff characters that need it, no free 5star…
and yes we deserve at this point, no customization for characters like small stuff like colors, can’t find anything cool in open world outside of chest and stuff, no matter how many characters you have over time every team feels the same for play style, use 2 supports then sub dps then main dps, they keep giving us stuff for teapot and we can’t even use it literally stop 🛑 lol, characters interactions are trash like when they hold their hand out to give you something but aren’t holding anything, unvoiced quests, quests no one can play ever again, quests weapons no one can get ever again, normal attack animations aren’t unique enough for each character,
characters taking way too long to rerun…
you could literally stop playing for 5/6 months or longer and your favorite character won’t be back and if you like Eula like I do good luck getting cons over time or getting one copy for that matter, the good events not staying around, trying to force TCG on to players when we would rather die, the foolish not understanding that Raiden is the best character and always will be, bloom teams making other teams feel useless a lot of the time, characters aren’t allowed to be evil because they gotta sell well, characters not allowed to be human even, Hydro is better than every other element to a unfair level, not letting me kill the daily commission npcs yes I’m being for real lol, not giving us double. the resin every day and not making the resin replenish 50 every time instead of it going to 100, not allowing us to get chest in friends worlds like in TOF, not adding in a 6/7 player activities when literally everyone would play it, I could give at least 2 things about every single character that would make them better but Hoyo gives no fucks, characters aren’t randomly walking around for the player to run into in open world, imagine running into a character fighting or something, the $20 BP not giving more rewards not worth upgrading for, old BP weapons being better than new ones, the top up bonus not just being the normal amount, players saying that it’s better than nothing when Hoyo gives us something close to what we need but way different,
Not making characters that can have dual roles enough, not making characters that have dual elements, not making characters that have special attributes when used with another specific character, not adding characters that have a tag team play style with unique animations for 2/3 characters being used together, not adding a character that can steal the abilities and elements of other characters allowing you to use 2 of the same burst at the same time as long as the ability is a use and forget, making characters under powered on purpose.
and yes I could literally add over 100 more things and even more but no point. This comment was 80% premade and just posted, to say that things that players want that other game add but Hoyo won’t.
I definitely feel annoyed that the reward for playing 3 years is just 3 acquaint fates, so CN players are really valid for that. I'm still gonna play, I'm really looking forward to the new area in Liyue and quite a bit of 4.4, but the rewards are a letdown. It's the same thing every year, but +480 primogems.
this proves that hsr is hoyo's fav game. And that they don't care about genshin.
I'm a new player in HSR and since I started they offered 20 pulls for free and a free 5 star which is really good. In my whole 3 years of Genshin I never got anything even close.
And you're right, I don't play Genshin for the free stuff but the free stuff keeps player interested. On top of that, yhe game is in such state that I don't even feel like needing to pull any more characters because there's nothing to do with the new ones anyway. I can complete any challenge in the game.
Cai Haoyu is like a plague, Star rail was lucky not to suffer what Honkai went through and what Genshin still suffers
I feel underappreciated in Genshin than any of their other games tbh.
Also, it's literally not about being greedy (although it's a little bit like that) but it's also about .. giving your players a proper thank you for playing your game. 10-20 pulls can easily be used by players to wish but a proper free limited/non-limited 5 star can go a long way for these players especially those who really wanted a specific 5 star but couldn't get it
You talk as though free stuff wouldnt help people be happy. On top of that you honestly think they will fix this pile of crap? Its been years and I am sure they have gotten numerous tips on how to make this game better but they have never listened.
Genshin has already had many issues for years now, but I think the stinginess of the game made people finally snap. HSR has self-modelling resin, 5* weapons in shop and endgame rewards, standard selector, guaranteed 5* from the beginner's banner, more endgame content and is on the whole far less grindy than Genshin. It'll be interesting to see where this game goes after these controversies.
