DON’T WORRY BRAN, NEXT BAND MEMBER COMING SOON JUST FOR YOU

It's kinda crazy that seeing a community manages to ruin a Multi Billion dollar company 😂😂 that's how much people that plays their games.

Mujin is that one friend that has a lot of stories.
And when you start listening to his stories
You're stunn-locked and laughing as he tells his stories.
He is absolutely great

There is a bit more context to this that Mujin did not go into. The majority of the people who were outraged by the anniversary were people that came from other gotcha games.  If you look at the majority of other gotcha games anniversary events, they would give out a ton of free wishes, in some cases 50 or more, a free five star and a free costume or two and have a plethora of paid costumes. Not only that, they would advertise these anniversary events a few weeks to month or so in advance to draw in players, new and old. Compared to Mihoyo, they said nothing about the anniversary until the day of and only gave out the anniversary rewards after a huge backlash from the player base.

The famous 'QiqiFallen, Herald of Unmet Expectations'
I think the reason why google classroom was a target was because most of the genshin players at that time were teenagers and students and during the first anniversary, we were still in lockdown period and many countries used google classroom as a way to do online classes or meetings.

Imagine if half the global economy shut down and then investigations revealed that the cause was because some gacha players were angry

For the record, the paid glider wasn't associated directly with anniversary, but for the first concert. You could argue the concert was associated with the anniversary, so with the ongoing controversy it wouldn't have looked good to sell the planned pack. Like the upcoming concert pack, there was a Glider and a Furnishing. IIRC they hadn't even announced that the pack was going to be a thing yet, but I think we knew it was meant to be a pack via leaks. EDIT: Correction, it'd been announced in the patch notes text, I think many folks (at least those in my sphere) weren't reading them at the time.

Also a fun fact:
People also for some reason attacked Brawl Stars in google play about how Genshin Impact 1st anniversary was bad. Reason was that Brawl Star was also celebrating their special event and the genshin players attacked them cause their rewards were better. Collateral damage

Bran went from clicking off the video as soon as a "band member" showed up to now waiting for a "band member" to show up at the end of the video 😂

7:33 that wasn't bots. The whole freaking community was angry because they censored people in the discord and subreddit who were justifiably angry about this. Plus, I was one of those review bombers. I read a lot of review bombs and they weren't bots. To this day, my Genshin review is stuck at 2 stars.

Edit: omg, you should have seen the art competition entries that happened during the chaos. Some of the greatest masterpieces you have ever seen till date.

It’s sadly funny to me how even after all this Genshin Anniversary is still a yearly train wreck with horrendous rewards.

Still Mujin’s videos are always so hilarious.

Kinda sad they didn't mention the evolution of the Qiqi lying meme where the community kept photoshopping the small rewards we got from the anniversary on top of the QiqiLying emoji until it turned into Qiqi's "herald of unmet expectations" final form.

Not 10 fates, I'm genshin vet here, the Genshin official once anounced the reward will be 100.000 mora and some food/sth in game
That pissed ppl off and they asked mihoyo (now hoyoverse) why...
Well, mihoyo silently delete all of the complaint and question comments on all of their social media and not reply/trying to say anything!
If you want to know more, there is tons of vids back then can give you a better view of the total CHAOS😂

I remember when i don't play Genshin yet in 2020..i was Playing mobile legend.. And that time.. Mobile legend having a 5th anniversary.. Because of the Genshin chaos happend..Moonton decided to gives us MLBB player extra reward in anniversary 💀.. I was laughing the living heck out of me 💀--

Another party to blame were content creators who hyped the anniversary with no proof saying stuff like "Save your primos for special banners and sales" and other dumbass things like that.

The review bombing was the main reason why some if not most parts of Honkai community went from accepting and supporting towards Genshin community to straight up talking trash about them whenever they get a chance and I can't blame them because there's really no reason to attack the game like that other than it being made by the same company. It's like saying you should be put in jail as well if your sibling did a crime because you're from the same house/family

5:30 boy did this age well, now we do have a free five star
11:15 this aswell

It should be noted that "and then Google cleared it" was probably reason for spillout. Google Play issued gag order on bad Genshin reviews? Reviewers made their voice heard anyway.

Bran was about to absolutely LOSE it when he pronounced Dilic wrong 💀💀

It actually doesn't stop at the 1600 primo and the wings, although the storms already calmed down a little and the community was like at the fifth stages of grief.

If you search "Herald of Unmet Expectations" you will find the pinnacle of community's acceptance of the shitty 1st anniversary.
