Protest Genshin Impact – What Hoyoverse Doesn't Want You to Know



This was tough for me. Normally, when I see CCs being manipulative or underhanded, I’ll point out the behavior, but not the individual and hope the people that find my videos are able to use that to avoid being misled.
I am terrified of confrontation, but this is important to me, and I don’t see any other way around it. This is a call to action. Don’t allow Hoyoverse to ignore us any longer. Don’t allow content creators to promote their products without disclosing the fact they are doing so. Hold them both to a higher standard.

THAT DOES NOT MEAN HARASS THEM! Just don’t watch them. They’ll notice and get the message.

Don’t protest Genshin Impact by playing Honkai Star Rail. That’s just really dumb.

Tectone: Keep up the good fight. Don’t get distracted by the puppets falling on their swords.

I probably won’t respond to as many comments as I normally do. I’ve been here since 2008, I know the worst of the worst show up in replies. It’s probably going to be pretty bad. I’ll turn off comments if I have to.

To my subscribers: I’m sorry. I know a lot of you will probably be disappointed by this video. Just know I really do appreciate all of you, and I hope you’ll join me in the protest. It should go without saying, I won’t be putting out a Xianyun video.

To trolls: Yes. The Lisp is strong with this one.

  1. A lot of fake information about the charts, revenues, and stuff. As a genshin hater who dug deeper behind your sources, seeing what Hoyoverse themselves announced, looking at the perspective of the games, how the revenue was made, and the different periods, I would say you were quite wrong about all of it.

  2. Agree with you, ex. Of genshin is aether gazer most units are complete at c0 meaning pulling for copy is unnecessary cause the game is not hard,even hard content can be done with c0 units you just need to be good at dodging

  3. for your whales don't carry genshin I don't fully agree with everything you said. hoyoverese dupe system is literally the worst out of any gatcha that I played some constellations change how the character is played. whales do carry other games yes but it isn't because those other games "require" dupes. for example NP 2 (c1) might be a decent damage increase but it isn't going to change how the character is played. while something like NP2 neuvillette makes double hydro way better in team comp building along with you having interruption resist so you don't have to slot in that either. lets take arknights as an example… I am sorry but 4 seconds of redeploy time basically changes nothing unless you doing low ops or maybe 1 P relay which is not mandatory. the reason why genshin isn't carried by whales is all of the mainstream attention it gets so many people buy the battle pass it actually provides way more income than a whale or two. most gatchas actually do not require you to pull for multiple copies of a character. I can't speak too much on FE heros but that is a PVP gatcha don't compare PVP to PVE gatcha it matters on how predatory they get. (epic 7 is also pvp) whales "carry" the other titles because the vast majority of the players are either F2P or whales there isn't a big "middle class" that just buy the battle pass. genshin has a massive community that just buy the welkin moon and/ or battle pass. and yes that does mean when the other games give out characters for free you get 80-90% of the unit for free now some DPS units in FGO specifically might be lower to like 70% capacity because they do most of the damage and more scaling helps more but supports are gonna be carrying 3 star DPS across the finish line. its the same thing it is just player density and popularity not genshin being less predatory. I will grant theoretically if you are going to max copies of a unit you could theoretically lose every 50-50 and not get a unit after the first time where genshin has a card cap but if you look at the averages genshin is about the same to so much worse. as for your argument cons are just a flex, yea dupes in those other games are also just a flex.

    I also want to add this really isn't to take away at the main argument just if you actually look at what you get from dupes genshin literally can change the way a character works in game look at all of the four stars that get busted C6s or a character like eula where the only way to max stack her is c6 you don't get game changing dupes like that in other games.

  4. Sir you have convinced me. I wasn't spending large sums anyway but at least I will stop getting the moon thingy.

    I will continue to play the game since I found it genuinely entertaining as hard as that is to believe but yeah it's not worth paying for it.

  5. Ahhh im not sure i understand correctly about this clip
    But
    1.GenshinLab never trustable source,Even reddit or CN people doest believe it,They just use it for meme or see the trend
    2.Im not sure about the line "How is it possible to single sales in a single market than you made in all market" meaning but if you mean how CN market sales more than Global that include CN? If it right,Sensor tower Global sales never include CN sales
    And in GI case CN merket is 60% off all sales at that first lunche.
