that won't stop Hoyo, 20 million is nothing compared to the BILLIONS Genshin alone made them since launch, it might even be cheaper than 20kk to lobby their way out future legal troubles

The rates are in the “details” tab.. not understanding probability is not the company’s fault Requiring parental consent to do in-app purchases makes sense cuz it’s THEIR credit card

This explains the recent update to the tos. Now says something along the lines of, if you are not an adult in your country, you need your parent or guardian to watch you play the gane at all times. I believe it said something similar before, but the updated tos, added more to child restrictions in-game.

Why only genshin? This feels targeted since it's company has semi good relationships with the government, China. Why don't they do it to other western gacha games too??

I mean it's not much for Hoyo but hopefully this could be handled better throughout all of gaming.

20M$ isnt enough, they should fine more than that; the dev needs more punishment

Well, isn't that something đź«Ł

So apparently , Hoyo's tactics of advertising have been kinda misleading causing kids to spend lots of money and have very little chances at getting a 5 star in return. As a result, they are being fined 20 million$ and teens under 16 will require extra parental consent to make any more in-game purchases.
