    I have genuine concerns that this project could lead to some really bad revision to reverse-engineering related laws and consumer rights (specifically because of what you mentioned- the fact that Genshin is free-to-play).

    I'm actually fascinated about what a court case would say about the legality of all of this because I think it's basically untested waters (that I don't want actually evaluated in reality because I think the result would probably be bad).

      If the currency is something you grind for in the game... Like level up points. It's just cheating surely?

      If however the currency is not something you can earn through gameplay at all and only something you can purchase, then I imagine you can argue that it's accessing something that it should not be allowed to access without paying.

      But yeah. Real complicated this one. Completely untested legal area.
