There’s a corruption controversy rocking The Game Awards, and it’s about…The Genshin effect? Obviously, there are many sound border TGA fans and fans who think gacha game is going up in Player The voice award category has been questioned and they are noisy about them unsatisfied. Things got so hot that TGA host Geoff Keighley addressed the bribery and fraud allegations today. AMA Reddit.
The Genshin effect There is a premium currency called primogems, which is used to roll gacha characters for a limited time. Primogem is distributed less than other gacha games, so the community likes to joke that Genshin players will do anything for them.
You can see where I’m going with this. Instead of popularity and organic interest, there has been speculation that Genshin instead, players are motivated by primogems. Last year, The Genshin effect won the “Best Mobile Game” award at TGA. After the show, HoYoverse gave 10 rolls of gacha for all its players. Kotaku reached out to HoYoverse to ask if they plan to distribute free primogems after this year’s TGA but had not received a response at the time of publication.

a redditor took to Keighley’s Reddit AMA to ask what he would do about “bribes” and “bottlenecks” in player-chosen prizes.
“I think it’s because the fan base is activating to support a game or a game is promoting its nomination to its fan base,” said Keighley Written. “This is part of the reason we don’t have 100% of the fans voting in the main categories.” However, he promised that the TGA would “look into this matter now.”
It’s interesting to see which games players believe will win Genshin. Some were sad that it could win God of War Ragnarok or sound border. God of War, I understand. Blockbuster action adventure game already loved by critics all aspects. On the other hand, critics criticize sound Because tedious. Perhaps it is more accurate to say both sound and Genshin are benefiting from having a highly configurable IP. Except one series is considered more institutionally legal than the other.
To those who are really upset about HoYoverse’s ability to use its fanbase to promote Genshin to the top: You know that The Game Awards is a marketing tool, right? I promise you this is not a corruption scandal on a par with the Panama Papers or Watergate. Personally, I like to rely on friends or some video game bloggers Let me know which game is good.
