“AI-“ I’m Gonna Stop You Right There.

So a friend recently sent me these. And I wanna know what YOU all make of them. Because I’d LOVE to believe this won’t affect Genshin but I’m not entirely convinced. Especially if it becomes successful and actually does make money. Animal Jam’s company and Neopets BOTH went back on their Anti NFT statements when they saw the money that could be made. What’s to stop Hoyo from doing the same with AI. And let’s be honest at the end of the day no company will ever be your friend.

Some of my friends have outright said they’ll be dropping the game completely, some of them are the “I’m not mad just disappointed”. And considering the ties are so close to Hoyo-Home… I’m personally not really sure what to think about this. Because they are the EX-CEO of course, but I’m willing to bet they still DEFINITELY have connections within the company and because if their investments may still have some sort of sway over Genshin, possibly HSR, possibly ZZZ, Etcetera. Because that’s how these things usually go. A CEO doesn’t want to work as a CEO anymore but they’ll be damned if they aren’t having at least seeds of doubt in their former company/workspace. I’ve seen it happen firsthand.

So I wanna ask, Is the use of AI in a game that, while not made by Hoyo themselves, but is going to inevitably be ASSOCIATED with Hoyo Valid; Or not?
