Genshin Impact Will Soon Require Age Verification in the United States

Dang there is a lot of hate for this game here, like it's definitely not the best game ever but it is one of the most compelling mobile experiences out there, with a decent story that has some great moments, and it can absolutely be played completely for free without missing out on much. The only thing spending money is good for is specific characters and weapons, none of which are required, and you can absolutely save up from playing for free and get almost any of those characters/weapons without spending a dime. It's not for everyone but I feel like this game gets a lot of hate simply for the Chinese origin, cartoony style, and microtransactions without any actual knowledge of what it's like to play it.When it comes to gacha games or even just Asian developed games in general, Lemmy is equally as bad as Twitter, maybe even worse. Not only in hostility, but also in making comments on things that are just outright wrong or completely ignorant because they don't play the game and literally never will. I don't play Genshin anymore (stopped playing around the time of the "Rosaria Nerf Incident" because I wanted to play other games), but when I did play it, it was pretty fun. The gacha did not feel forced, I never spent a dime on the game and never felt like I needed to. The community was fine when you ignored the Twitter people.

I don't understand. For spending money one requires banking/card information. How children will get their guardian's banking details without their consent?

I'm old enough for any DOB check, yet I still lie.

Have you paid for things on mobile in-app? The operating system stores your info behind a password (or biometric) because adults (non-gambling as well) also hate having to memorize 16 digits flawlessly every time they needed to make payments.I've refused to move my payment from password to biometrics purely because I'll spend more if I don't have to type out my 22 character password. A few times I've gone to buy something and seen the password field pop up and just like.. uhh cbf. And then saved like $30.

No, but kids under 16 *are* hooked into the content drip on their favorite social media. This significantly impacts the drip, a big part of online gaming is sharing what you have or have done through YouTube, TikTok, etc. Everybody wants to be a content creator. Nobody wants to be a content creator in default skins.

people under 18 will just jerk off to the girls instead of spending money on the game

You've made me reread my comment multiple times and I still don't know what the ancient slang is. God I'm not even 30 and I'm already being made feel old lmao

Blame the US for declaring that US minors are too stupid and US parents too neglectful to pay attention to what is purchased online. They have to kick off kids from their game, legally, and nearly all mobile and online games that have any way to spend real money will be doing the same within the next year.> They have to kick off kids from their game, legally, and nearly all mobile and online games that have any way to spend real money will be doing the same within the next year. Good. Gambling is illegal for minors under the age of 18.

It's those under 13 required to be deleted, those under 16 just purchases restricted. And even if they were banned, that doesn't mean they won't come the moment they turn 16 either.Any way you look at it, this effects the drip. It's not franchise ending but it definitely hurts.

The why is rarely argued. The how is always the point of contention. That's why I am wondering what they are asking for age verification.

Most of the game isn't gambling, to pretend otherwise is just silly. It's like being one of those idiots that pretend counterstrike is gambling.

Didn't know that was ancient, I see it used a lot among... I guess other almost 30 year olds.

If there's an otherwise g rated movie with ten minutes of full frontal nudity and hard-core sex what rating do you think that movie is gonna get?
