YouTuber blasts \u201cpredatory\u201d Genshin Impact after spending $7,000 Genshin ImpactA YouTuber who spent thousands on Genshin Impact has gone viral after he blasted the game\u2019s gacha system and decided to go exclusively free to play. Mtashed, who has made plenty of videos about the Chinese action RPG, will no longer be using the account he spent over $7,000 on because he feels the title is \u201ccrooked.\u201d \u201cMy main account will now be my secondary account and I don\u2019t want to play it anymore,\u201d he explained in a video uploaded on October 26. \u201cOn top of this, any of the videos where I did Wishes and I was showing off any of the Wishes that I got, in the next 24 hours, I\u2019m going to be taking those down and unlisting them.\u201d According to Mtashed, he is doing this because he refuses to promote the game\u2019s gacha system \u2013 which is how free-to-play games end up making money. \u201cMichael, why the hell would you spend $7,200 on a damn game and then not use it?\u201d he asked from the perspective of the audience. As it turns out, a big factor is people claiming that he has a gambling addiction. \u201cIf any sane person was spending this kind of money on a game\u2026 I would honestly say, unless you have an immense amount of disposable income, to look at yourself in the mirror and potentially get help,\u201d he explained. \u201cI am sorry if I ever baited you into Wishing yourself. I feel guilty about that. I have had a tough time sleeping.\u201d As the video continued, Mtashed got teary-eyed and claimed he even regretted covering the game. \u201cI\u2019m a content creator and I can write this off as a business expense,\u201d he revealed. \u201cMy tips video has made $7,300 and paid for every Wish I ever made on this account. And I know that other people can\u2019t do that.\u201d \u201cI think this system is very predatory,\u201d he added after apologizing to those he may have baited into spending money. \u201cI think this system is gambling. I can\u2019t believe that this exists in a game. And I refuse to promote it. I can\u2019t do it and I\u2019m so sorry that I did.\u201d That all said, there are still a couple of videos that the YouTuber will still be making on his now-secondary account, but is going free-to-play after that. So far, the streamer believes he can make his F2P account \u201cgodly\u201d and catch up to his other account in no time despite refusing to put any money in. Hopefully, the transition can keep others from getting addicted to the game and can shine some light on a very controversial system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
