Genshin Impact \u201csecretly\u201d sent currency to streamers to get characters miHoYoGenshin Impact devs have come under fire after a number of content creators have been given free Primogems. Here\u2019s everything we know about the controversy. MiHoYo\u2019s open-world game has proved to be one of the sleeper hits of 2020, pulling in millions of players from all over the world. Genshin Impact\u2019s beautiful world is brimming with all kinds of colorful characters, unique quests, bloodthirsty bosses, and devastatingly powerful weapons. However, getting your hands on the game\u2019s rarest five-star characters can prove incredibly difficult. While Genshin Impact doesn\u2019t require its players to spend a penny when it comes to playing through its ever-growing world, many often spend large sums to obtain the characters they want. This is down to the game\u2019s Wish system, which requires players to spend in-game currency in order to get new units. However, MiHoYo has now come under fire following a content creator only reward. Genshin Impact paid promotion The controversy surrounding the paid promotion started when popular gacha Twitch streamer, Xlice opened his mailbox in Genshin Impact. It\u2019s here where the streamer found that he had received two letters, each containing 1000 Primogems each. The message reads \u201cWe would love to thank all Travellers for your continued support and assistance. Please take this gift as a token of Paimon\u2019s gratitude.\u201d Xlice was rightfully very excited as it\u2019s certainly not every day when you find 2000 Primogems in your mailbox. However, the streamer\u2019s excitement quickly changed when he realized he wasn\u2019t meant to read the message out on the stream. It was only until he looked down at the bottom of the message when found the following statement: \u201cPlease refrain from sharing the content of this message with anyone.\u201d It seems Xlice wasn\u2019t the only Genshin Impact content creator who received this promotion as Twitch streamer Enviosity voiced his discomfort. \u201cWow, Paimon. Now, why would you send this when normally people open their mail on stream for the first time? That doesn\u2019t make any sense.\u201d The streamer then goes on to ask his chat whether anyone else had received a similar in-game mail. However, it certainly looks like the 2000 Primogems were only made available for Genshin Impact content creators. While this practice isn\u2019t exactly uncommon, it has certainly riled up a lot of Genshin Impact fans who continue to support the game. MiHoYo has yet to address this controversy, so we\u2019ll update this article if they make a statement.
