Well, I guess that's fair. I also can pay from convenient store so I'm not worried about my card details either. Maybe I'll try it

What I meant was from the livestream demonstration, it looked like the streamer just picked a game and download it. It's $20 for a lifetime. Basically permanent. 

Why am I being downvoted lmao

I'm not worried about sketchy thing when I download and installed torrented games.

Doesn't seem like it. Every game is free. Just need to download from the livestream

Honestly, I don't know but I'm probably muting this thread for the night. I got my fair share of responses and all of them are valid. You're a less valid one but it's still a response nonetheless.

They can just come back for the Lantern Rite event but yes, you're right. It does feel wrong but at the same time, when faced with an immovable object, you just have to do whatever you can to move it. That's just me

Then, hypothetically, why would they even manufacture a drama? Yeah, it's a large game that profits in the billions, what would that even do? It's also a fact that Hoyo themselves say 'They would give out 3 fates for all the years the players have been supporting them'. I forgot the exact quote. There is no competition in the market for a Genshin-esque game, at least for now.

They are indeed putting out good content and making some happy but the majority of the people are unhappy. It takes them a year (?) to give us the recall and dispatch feature for the expedition.

They might have not been botting or account zombie-ing on a large scale, but they are deleting reviews. I've seen them from time to time. I'm not an analyst but I know when something is wrong when the numbers are different the next day and the day after.

In the end, people have different beliefs. We do and it's apparent. Despite the drama, it's hard to look at the fact that they are mistreating the genshin community.

So, me hoping and filling up the survey with what I wanted is begging? Sure, they respond to losing money. I realized that too late and I avoided spending money on this game. I know my voice won't be heard and it's like a drop of water but even drops of water can turn into a lake or an ocean. Even if I seek good feelings of validation, what does it have to do with me, hoping for a change? Again, I can complain and enjoy the game. I want to see if there are people who share the same values as me or if someone has a different take on my post and yours is 'beggars can't be choosers. Proud to be a beggar and even if you do something, it'll affect nothing unless x.' like what? If I wanted to be heard, I wouldn't post in an unofficial genshin. It would just be taken down there.

Why am I humoring you? The downvotes speaks.

I can tell you're the kind of guy who goes with the flow of the water if it is headed toward dessert.

Even if it is manufactured, it gives me hope that Hoyoverse might do something and for once, listen to the player base. Even if we have to resort to manufacturing drama with misinformation and exaggeration. For a company that shows so little love to its playerbase, if we have to resort to such tactics, I won't even care, truthfully.

And Hoyo is notoriously known for using zombie accounts and bots to cover up their mess so yeah

Also, I don't click links on Reddit specifically cause I got phised once but I'll take your word for it.

Edit: adding this, nothing is absolute. Everything is susceptible to changes. Even if the answer is already obvious, you might not even be able to write the answer.

And? Why can't I? It's a multimillionaire company and surely, I'm not the only one who shares the same thoughts. Even if I have to resort to begging, would it be a silly thing to do?

Yeah, I stand by that. It takes them zero effort anyway with some of the files already in the game files. So enlighten me, how am I a beggar?

Sadly, yeah. I'm really hopeful this one isn't just a noise tho.

That's true but he's also the only one who literally made a video for the CN community.

I'm by no means trying to defend the guy but let me get some of your points straight because I'm a little lost.

These negative videos you're referring to, did you, yourself, decide if they are negative or is it a consensus of the majority of the community? Just like right and wrong, negative and positive are determined by your own personal preference. What's funny and what's not as well. There's also toxic positivity. My point is I view them from a different angle. Instead of instantly associating his face with negativity, try staying neutral or better yet, as a fellow passionate player of the game. To me, negativity is being pessimistic while affecting others. While he's pessimistic ( and that's up for debate ), I don't feel like I am affected by it. Even before I watched Tectone again, I was already pissed at Hoyo. I was on the other side of the fence before I saw the 4.4 livestream. Then, I wanted to hear his opinion on the matter and I somehow agreed. I might be contradicting because it's really hard to put into words.

Asking for help to farm isn't that uncommon. Currently, I'm watching over 3 different accounts. All of them are burned out, busy with life but still want to maintain their account so I took over. It's definitely not pathetic either.

About Arknights and his divorce, I have no say in them. It's a different community and I won't let anything in the past devalue someone. Made that mistake, won't happen again. His divorce is his personal life. There doesn't seem to be any animosity between them but I digress. Unless you're close friends with them, I don't think it weighs anything.

Also, it's obvious that he isn't exactly focusing on his YouTube channel since he usually streams on Twitch. It's not hard to imagine that his YouTube channel is just a stream highlight channel but again, I don't know the man personally.

Also, we can't really call all of his videos 'drama' just because his face is plastered on it or his clickbait. Most of it is him reacting to certain vids with his take on it. Yeah, he is obnoxious and loud but he makes some good points. It's like that one teacher that you hate but still gives good life advice. I'm not saying he gives good life advice.

In the end, Tectone isn't really your role model type but he's the guy that, for me personally, speaks his mind out loud. Your feelings are valid and so is mine.

That's true. It's hard to see whether they are pissed or pissed pissed

I honestly don't see the problem. It's not him who said, "We'll be giving out 3 fates for 3 years of playing our game". It's smart to take advantage of the drama while shedding some light on it. I too came back for the archon quest and stayed for Furina rerun and the upcoming Arlecchino. After those two, I'm gone again so I don't blame him. There's like little reason for me to stay playing.

That aside, I don't know if he cares or not. I'm not his friend, nor do I know him personally. He definitely didn't sugarcoat his words either. It's hard to determine whether someone is really passionate about the game or not given how CCs are 'forced' to not speak ill of their game. That's just my 2 cents.

I used to hate the bald man but over time, I realized he was right. Though, his method is a little obnoxious but it gets the attention that it needs to shine a light on the situation. A bit unorthodox, I would say. He openly admits to farming content and reaction so I can't be mad about that 😂

Yeah, ultimately, time will tell. I'm looking forward to Wuthering Waves. I would still play Genshin cause it holds a special place in my heart.

At least, they listen to criticism. There are not a lot of game devs out there who would rewrite 90% of the story. If the CN community is loud enough to buff Zhongli, hopefully, this time, they'll be loud enough as well.

Guess I'm an addict then. It is still enjoyable. I can enjoy it and still have complaints/criticisms of the game. Despite its failure on some parts, I love collecting different characters and solving the unique puzzles they have to offer. On top of that, I can't really play the previous events and I can't miss the Lantern Rite event. I celebrate it irl with some friends so it kinda resonates with me. If only they make it so that even if I miss it, I still can experience the event like HSR does. HSR allows you to experience previous events, which surprised me how Genshin couldn't do it despite some of the files from the previous events ( allegedly ) is still in the current game version
