Powercreep can feel like a looming risk in any long-running game, but in a Gacha like Genshin it’s even more of a concern. Some would even argue it’s inevitable.
Many people invest a lot of time and money into their accounts, and the prospect of seeing their hard-earned characters fall by the wayside can be worrying. While many are content to play the game on their own terms, and are happy to disregard the most difficult content, anyone who tries to keep up with the Abyss has to keep this possibility in mind.
While Hoyo has managed to avoid much powercreep so far, in many games it ramps up over time, and the release of Neuvillette made me start to ask the question:
