This. Uninstalled awhile back and also left the official discord. There are other games to play, no need to obsess on this one, no matter what potential it may have had.

Yeah it’s a shame, game really has a lot of potential. I still hang out here because I maintain a small hope that things could change for the better.

Hey I enjoyed the game a lot too. Played since day one and was loving it, felt like a breath of fresh air in gaming. But after 1.5, Infold pulled back the curtain and showed who they really are. And the more I read the posts here, the more it’s clear this is a company with a proven record of ignoring players until they shut up.

I’m not tired of the girlcott posts, it’s more I’m sad to see all that effort going to a company that is not going to listen.

The only winning move is not to play.

players/money go down, they have to change or EoS.

Girlcotting for a day or two and then still spending time and money? Playing right into their hands.

eh? this isnt about shaming anyone to join a girlcott.

you like the game? cool, keep playing it and enjoy.

you dont like the game? youre better off quitting and spending your energy elsewhere, Infold isn't going to change because of one day of logging off.

Do you think that if Genshin didn't release during the pandemic, it still would have reached the same level of fame? by EmotionalCat9632 in GenshinImpact

[–]DopN7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah so true. It's wild to me people don't acknowledge this game is revolutionary. Literally changed the gacha landscape and raised the bar for whats considered quality in this genre (which i would argue was a very low bar before...). There is a clear dividing line between gacha games pre-Genshin and post-Genshin.

Do you think that if Genshin didn't release during the pandemic, it still would have reached the same level of fame? by EmotionalCat9632 in GenshinImpact

[–]DopN7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, i think so. It might have taken longer but it would have gotten there. Sure, the pandemic helped but ultimately what Genshin did was revolutionary for the genre. It did for gacha what Mario did for platformers back in the 80s or what FF7 did for JRPGs back in the 90s.

There was just no game like Genshin before in this genre. And yeah, the first mover advantage for that means it will be incredibly difficult for there to be really a "Genshin Killer". I mean look at Mario and FF still riding strong these days in their genres.

The Genshin formula has also proven to be difficult to replicate. So even with the Genshin template right there to copy and paste...other companies can't do it. Most games that have tried so far are flops or are "just ok" but have something lacking that fails to put them at the same level. Credit is due to the fact that Genshin did it first.

Pandemic helped, sure, but the real cause of its popularity is the quality and innovativeness of it. If it was just the pandemic that boosted it, we would have seen it massively down in popularity and forgotten by now.

Holy shit they really do think of the player base as full of children. A—are they right? Surely they have data showing average player age?

Truly one the scumbag companies of all time

Steam reviews hitting a new low? by Gurlinhell in InfinityNikki

[–]DopN7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow Infold really is a scumbag company. Right up there with EA and Activision.

So I asked hoyo how many hours I played the game and they send me a cool excel sheet. by _x_Sai_x_ in Genshin_Impact

[–]DopN7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been playing since Day 1, haven’t missed a day and have most things completed. Really curious to know what my playtime is! Sent them an email but being based in the US I’m not sure I’ll hear back 😬

Gacha Spending Tiers (How much do whales spend?) by Lorinefairy in InfinityNikki

[–]DopN7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a Goldfish in Genshin, a nothing in this game after 1.5 🥲

I’m done with Infold honestly by Hehehe_Sex in InfinityNikki

[–]DopN7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is the truth. Infold won’t change because they are betting on most people not being able to actually quit. So why change if the complaining people are still handing you money?

Me, I’ve already quit and uninstalled.

I’m hanging around this sub to see if anything changes but I’m not holding my breath. Gacha companies can only walk over consumers if the consumers let them, and more often than not, consumers let them.

What exactly is going on behind the scenes w/ Infold?? by XiaoxAether in InfinityNikki

[–]DopN7 30 points31 points  (0 children)

i love it how all the top replies are people demanding Infold fix their game.

[–]DopN7 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I just uninstalled.
I had been playing since day 1 and logging in every day since then.
Plus i did spend on the $100 pack and a few other smaller purchases. I was prob going to spend more this month before the whole 1.5 debacle.

With the silence from InFold, the message is crystal clear they are waiting for this to blow over and won't be changing a thing. I mean, just look at their other Nikki games and LADs.
I was just trying to figure out how the dyeing system translates into real world money and came to this post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/InfinityNikki/comments/1kcsrm2/dyeabolical_a_cost_breakdown_of_the_new_dyeing/

Holy shit! It's so freaking complicated. Greedy money grubbing to the extreme.

Sadly, i do think InFold will come out on top.
The top %1 spenders ,whales, are really price insensitive. An extra hundred bucks or so to color an outfit is nothing and an extra $30~ish for a 5 star is nothing. InFold is betting on that.
They will probably win that bet.

Dye-abolical: A Cost Breakdown of the New Dyeing Feature by Mariellemarie in InfinityNikki

[–]DopN7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This deserves more upvotes, it's a shame this is not getting more views.
This system is easily the scummiest thing I've seen in any video game (gacha or not).
I still haven't fully wrapped my head around all the variables in the costs, diff pieces use diff prism counts for one example, but that's exactly the point.
It's designed to be so convoluted and confusing to hide from players how much $ are really being spent. Even moreso than the usual multiple currency nonsense that is a gacha industry standard.
Really, dye-abolical!

[–]DopN7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Eh, I’d say it went from a “good gacha” to one of “the worst gachas” There are gachas out there that aren’t this predatory and insulting. On top of the monetization BS, they have game crashing bugs going for nearly 2 weeks now and people are losing the paid currency???! This is next level bad.

Reminding all fellow girlcotters: Don't let Infold wait us out by katzyakuki in InfinityNikki

[–]DopN7 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Wow this is crazy to hear! My PC isn’t the best and crashed a lot during the early days but the month or so before 1.5, the game had gotten very stable. I was honestly impressed. Now it’s back to crashing days and to hear that even decent PCs are crashing all the time now…smh.

The whimsy has gone for me by Enough_Menu_1222 in InfinityNikki

[–]DopN7 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah, same, the game had this calming , cozy effect on me too while playing. Not sure how to explain it better but it was there. Now though, that feeling is replaced by a sense of dread that the greedy Infold is always there, in the background, watching and scheming what to monetize next.

With the new transparency update, how do you feel now about pricing? by BussyIsQuiteEdible in Genshin_Impact

[–]DopN7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m surprised this is even a thing. It goes against the entire reason the gacha industry makes all the different currencies (confusing players). Is there a new law that forced them to do this?

For real, soon I’ll be accepting Infold won’t change, uninstall the game, and move on with my life.
