imho the anniversary rewards aren't bad, just the usual underwhelming gacha game freebies

anni rewards, usually, give at least a few freebie gems fore more than just a single 10 roll

even fgo invents excuses to give out gems on anni.

they aren’t alone in not giving out 5 stars like candy on Halloween, but gems at least so the majority of the gacha salty hoard don’t come for your throats

yeah, i play three other gacha games and all of them give out plenty of free currency during their anniversaries. genshin is very much not the norm when it comes to that sort of thing - most games are pretty generous.

it also really does not help their case when it’s not like they hide how much money genshin has made them over the past year

a few months ago i saw a video of a giant slime plushie getting out into mihoyo’s office’s street view window, that Barbara 3D building show in China I think?, the icon hashtags on Twitter, etc

the funniest thing about this is my friend honest to god said with a straight face "people don't understand that game companies don't just HAVE money they're sitting on"

i wanted to scream in disbelief

LMAO

that's incredible

honestly the shills are way worse than the review bombing. i'm currently watching a genshin channel just circlejerk each other about how much better they are than the angry fans. i want to review bomb genshin out of pure spite to these people at this point.

ah yes, the poor, broke studio that *checks notes* spent untold millions on hashflags to advertise the anniversary on twitter

the funniest thing about this argument is that it's not like giving out IN-GAME rewards costs the company real money lol, it's pixels

An employee would have to handle the process of giving the rewards out. Something has to add them to the accounts, notify players and ensure players can't cheat the system and get more than they should. That employee also has to be paid for the time spent doing this. There also are likely to be support requests for cases where it doesn't work as intended or someone didn't get those and that also has costs associated with it. It's not completely free, but definitely less costly than the bad PR they are getting will be.

... anon it's honestly not that complicated. Just set a script to give out the rewards upon login during a set time. If fgo and granblue fantasy can do it without any big issue, so can genshin.

but

genshin had a thing in place that made it easy for them to send out freebies

but around February they took it out of the game/stopped doing it

and now instead they have a bunch of web events that give really mediocre rewards

anon, while you're technically not wrong, the way you're describing it makes it clear you don't actually know how it works

ayrt

update: during a new conversation in which i gently called this friend out by saying "well this company definitely has billions" they replied with "yeah but they spent it"

i was at such a loss for words i just closed the group chat and didn't return to it for the rest of the day.

anniversary in gacha games, especially highly successful ones, is usually the thing players get most excited about because of all the freebies. it's a thank you to the player base for sticking around and making the game successful.

it's not like we needed a free 5 star to be happy. they could have cut resin costs for a couple of weeks, given us some kind of beefed up overflow event, given us a mission event with primos or fates as rewards or beefed up the rewards we get for daily commissions, given players the kfc glider they promised earlier in the year, etc. they had a lot of options. this patch feels like any other patch.

i mean the anni rewards are sort of underwhelming but the player response is insanely disproportionate

the genshin fanbase is filled with teenagers and immature adults who egg them on so i’m not sure why the response we’re seeing right now is a surprise

or why that means people can’t criticize genshin’s anni rewards

in the year of our lord 2021 people are still whiteknighting multi-billion dollar game companies and claiming "no, it is always the fandom/community that is wrong" and i'm tired

but anon, genshin players don't ~*deserve*~ anni rewards anymore because of the review bombing!

please point out where i said people cant criticize

saying the anni rewards suck or are disappointing is normal
review bombing honkai impact isnt

okay but no one was saying the review bombing was okay

this was about criticizing mihoyo’s handling of anni

you’re the one who brought up the fanbase’s response so i think you can see why i would assume, from context, that you were implying that no criticism was allowed

idk, i don't play genshin myself but i get the impression that it's the kind of game that a lot of people spend a lot of money on. i'd be pissed too if they weren't giving out even basic gacha anniversary shit when it's obvious they're raking in a ton of money. the game i play is much less of a big name than genshin and it still hands out free gems and free characters during its anniversary.

Which is a valid point, but anon I replied to was saying that it's just pixels and that's free. It's not and such an entitled attitude is a huge problem with gamers.

I think you're lost

personally i care less about that and more about the fact some characters still have bugs they just won't fix? like xinyan's shield won't proc the higher version even if you meet the requirements, xiao's e doesn't always land because it glitches, that kinda thing.
