To clarify, this is accross the whole industry in china. Not just Genshin. (The title makes it sound like Genshin specifically is getting getting these restrictions.
Probably release a China version then you pay extra for the global version that is just as shitty but you get to waste more money gambling, win-win for corporate and gamers alike lol
they already have a china only version of pretty much everything that's also available overseas. for example, tiktok is less predatory there from what i hear. it feels like they're trying not to shit where they eat in a way.
Do we know when the new laws will be implemented? I'm really curious where they will bring these kinds of games since it's such a core mechanic to keep a steady user retention rate
I may be high on copium, but I wish we could get all the primogens we'd otherwise obtain by completing the maximum number of daily commissions permittable per patch via an in-game message that expires after a patch is over; that daily, battle-pass missions were scraped and the cumulative amount of points that completing them grants was distributed across weekly ones; and that the resin cap was increased to a week's worth of resin, if not removed entirely in favour of the distribution of fragile resin by mail.
