#i only mention honkai impact like…twice? so i won’t tag it

[kiwisandpearls]

honestly, I mean this as genuine reminder with no purposeful condescension to genshin and honkai star rail players with the news of what hsr’s new rewards will look like:

it’s perfectly fine to call out how stingy genshin has and will probably continue to be with its rewards. But at the end of the day, looking at the bigger picture, it is not the biggest issue in the world and should be treated as the biggest issue in the world.

not only that but even tho hsr (and even maybe honkai impact but I haven’t played it in a while so maybe things have changed) is much more generous with its rewards it still should be taken into account that at the end of the day, hsr is still a product meant to sink as much money as it can out of your precious wallets. That isn’t even me trying to be malicious it’s kinda a fact of any sort of product, especially gacha games which even when they can be free-to-play like genshin they still incentivize you to spend your money on the game. All this to basically just say don’t treat honkai star rail as your friend just because it gives better rewards. Neither genshin or honkai star rail are, they are both products that while technically free do heavily incentivize you to spend your money.

and lastly, choosing to stop your support of genshin and moving over to honkai star rail is fine. But acting like that’s somehow going to teach hoyoverse a lesson is pointless because honkai star rail and genshin belong to the same company. You’re still giving your time and money to hoyoverse no matter who you support. If you really do wanna teach hoyoverse, best bet is to put your money where your mouth is not give your money to any of hoyoverse’s games. I’m not saying you have to do that but if you really do wanna stick it to hoyoverse and force to make genshin give better rewards your best bet is going that.

I say this all as an ex-honkai impact player and current genshin impact and honkai star rail player
