This underscores the enormity of Genshin Impact's revenue-generating capability.
Since its inception, Genshin Impact has truly become a global phenomenon. Not only has it revived the trend of open-world games, but it has also established Mihoyo as one of the most prominent game publishers in China, alongside well-known names like NetEase or Tencent. And recently, according to a shocking statistic, the amount of Primogems consumed by Genshin Impact players has reached a value of $2.7 billion, equivalent to over 62,000 trillion VND.
There are numerous factors contributing to Genshin Impact's success, and one of them cannot be underestimated: Mihoyo's responsiveness. Recall that initially, this game faced numerous complaints from gamers about lacking content, unable to keep up with players' progress. However, for Mihoyo, ensuring a regular cadence of events and new updates every 6-7 weeks has kept Genshin Impact consistently fresh over time. Moreover, the gradual addition of storyline content, though in small doses, has added to players' curiosity.
In addition, Mihoyo's steadfast commitment to its original direction and complete disregard for calls to introduce PvP into Genshin Impact have garnered significant praise from genuine fans of this open-world exploration genre. However, alongside this, Mihoyo has encountered considerable opposition and complaints in recent updates. One of the most fundamental reasons cited by gamers is that this publisher seems somewhat stingy, lacking the generosity compared to other game titles.
Specifically, many gamers feel that the daily rewards and event rewards from Mihoyo are too scant, especially when compared to the $2.7 billion revenue milestone achieved by this publisher. Since early September 2021, when news about the 1-year anniversary event of Genshin Impact surfaced, players have vehemently opposed Mihoyo's plans for thanking players, labeling Mihoyo as a “stingy bloodsucker”...
And here marks the 2nd birthday of Genshin Impact. Whether Mihoyo will be more generous remains to be seen. But it's worth noting that when faced with criticism of its stinginess, this publisher has ruthlessly deleted numerous comments, even permanently blocking accounts of gamers who commented. This has stirred up quite a bit of tension at the time.
