There are just a few days left until Genshin Impact celebrates its third anniversary. Special date for which, unexpectedly, it became one of the most popular titles in recent times. The success was total for a video game that has accumulated billions of dollars in revenue since its launch. However, now it is going through your darkest moment. Even though we have just received one of the most ambitious updates in its history, the dominant opinions in the community are largely negative. The company is accused of neglecting the game, not paying attention to community requests and also of preparing a anniversary event very disappointing.
Genshin Impact anniversary pisses off players
Starting with the most recent, the live presentation of Update 4.1 that will arrive in the game on September 27 was somewhat disappointing. It featured an anniversary event that has not generated much interest in the community. There are two reasons for this situation. On the one hand, it criticizes the lack of rewards. Most Genshin Impact style titles offer a large number of in-game currencies, materials and commemorative items in their anniversary stage. This happens even when we talk about other projects from the same company. Also, the birthday of the title It will barely become evident as we play. Other celebrations such as the Lunar New Year, the Spring Festival or the arrival of summer have much more impact on the gameplay. This is something that I have never finished liking.
This same problem has occurred in previous years, but the situation is particularly negative this time. The income obtained by Genshin Impact marks a obvious negative trend, with the latest character banners being some of the least sold in their history. We should not misunderstand this. It is still one of the most lucrative games in the world, but profits have been cut significantly. This bad trend, along with the lack of changes, has made many players think that HoYoverse is simply not paying attention to the game. In addition, there is a feeling that the company takes more care of its other titles, giving them unjustified favored treatment.
From a story point of view, the next update is very promising.
As a consequence of this accumulation of situations, the players are beginning to organize a protest against HoYoverse. Over the last few days, negative reviews have increased in mobile application stores. There have also been content creators who have tried to call a “spending strike” against the company, a movement that many players have joined and that has become a video game-themed ‘trending topic’ on social networks. This, it must be said, is not the first time that a similar initiative has tried to be organized without much success. Although the negative opinion is (almost) unanimous, reactions to movements of this nature tend to be disparate.
What in any case has become evident in these preludes to the third anniversary of Genshin Impact is the community fatigue. Regardless of what initiatives take place – there will be some because many are already underway – and what their reception is, the future prospects of the video game have worsened. It is difficult for a title of such popularity to fall into oblivion overnight. However, several consecutive months of decline accompanied by a new controversy make it difficult to be optimistic. Can it be recovered? HoYoverse has the means and the talent to do this, it only remains to know if they will seek to find a solution.
This game is like mixing GTA with Genshin Impact in a world of science fiction and big cities.
