One of my favourite games managed to destroy its goodwill in the space of just a few days.

While the rest of the gacha space is forever on fire for various reasons, Infinity Nikki had been an oasis of calm. It was never going to last, since these games tend to start off with a bang to attract new players and then slowly degrade over time, but a mere five-month-long honeymoon period was far shorter than anyone would have guessed.
If you think the state of WuWa, Genshin, Star Rail, or any of the others has been bad... Infinity Nikki right now makes all those other situations look kinda chill.
Some might argue that it’s bad to highlight this whole thing, but I think that’s short-sighted. I love this game I and want it to thrive — and for that to happen, Infold needs to hear the concerns of their players. The more people who are aware of it, the better.
