When you're
playing a gacha title, you know that the relationship with the developers can
be quite strained, especially when it comes to the amount of free resources.
However, the immense Genshin Impact community has just hit a
wall of censorship that very few saw coming. Players are publicly denouncing
that the moderators of the official servers began to hand out bans and
systematically delete any posts that criticize the rewards of the most recent
update. What began as a simple collective discontent, quickly escalated into an
intense debate about the freedom to express an opinion within the spaces of the
game
Absolute
cleanliness on the forums
The
affected users claim that the administration is disproportionately cracking
down on their own community. According to multiple reports, even the most
harmless comments that only suggest improving the quality of gifts are being
fulminated in a matter of seconds. While a large sector describes this measure
as a blatant attempt to silence dissent, other more neutral players argue that
moderators are making decisions based on the rules to stop the
immense flow of repetitive complaints. All things considered, dealing with
thousands of frustrated fans posting the same thing can make any chat room a
completely unnavigable environment.
The
mystery of the store and an old joke
But the
real mystery doesn't happen inside chat servers, but in digital showcases.
Interestingly, the game's overall rating on the Google Play Store began to
magically climb to regain its 4.5 stars in several major regions. Many users
suspect that the platform is massively eliminating negative reviews to
make up for the crisis, since a few days ago the rating was around a pitiful
3.3 rating. All this frustration even revived the memory of that historic funa in
2021, when furious otakus decided to bombard the Google Classroom app with
negative reviews simply to demonstrate the enormous size of their anger.
Although
for now the tactic of attacking other applications remains a simple anecdote to
remember old times, the tension between consumers and the developer is more
than real.
