From the moment it launched, Genshin Impact truly became a phenomenon worldwide. Not only did it revive the trend of developing open-world games, but Genshin Impact also helped Mihoyo become one of the most renowned game publishers in China, alongside well-known names like NetEase and Tencent. Recently, a shocking statistic revealed that the amount of Primogems consumed by Genshin Impact players has reached a value of 2.7 billion USD, equivalent to over 62 trillion VND.
There are many reasons to explain the success of Genshin Impact, and one of them is certainly Mihoyo’s attentiveness. Remember in the beginning, this game faced a lot of complaints from gamers about a lack of content and not keeping up with the pace of player progress. However, for Mihoyo, ensuring the frequency of new events and updates every 6-7 weeks has helped Genshin Impact maintain a fresh feeling over time. Not to mention, the gradual updates of the storyline, though minimal, are still exciting and keep Genshin players curious.
Additionally, Mihoyo’s steadfastness in its original direction and complete disregard for calls to introduce PvP into Genshin Impact has scored significant points with true fans of this open-world exploration genre. However, at the same time, Mihoyo is also facing a lot of opposition and complaints in recent updates. One of the basic reasons cited by gamers is that this publisher seems to be a bit stingy, lacking the generosity seen in other games.
Specifically, many gamers believe that the daily rewards as well as those from Mihoyo’s events are too few, especially when compared to the revenue of 2.7 billion USD this publisher has achieved. Since early September 2021, when information about the 1st anniversary event of Genshin Impact began to emerge, players have vocally opposed Mihoyo’s plans for player appreciation, calling Mihoyo a “stingy bloodsucker that only knows how to profit”…
And soon it will be the 2nd birthday of Genshin Impact. We wonder if Mihoyo will be more generous this time. But remember, when faced with criticisms of their stinginess, this publisher has deleted numerous comments and even permanently banned comments from players. This has raised quite a bit of tension at that time.
