[@FrenchDinosaur]

It really seems that quite a lot of the english-speaking (the more known ones) community around Hoyo's games just like to start drama. I've seen a few other CCs in the CN and JP side that also got the early access, one of which is a Vtuber called Masui, and from those the reaction seem to be overwhelmingly positive. From corporate giants such as Riot Games' and their titles, to indie one-hits like Palworld. This is literally industry standard practice. Nobody, no-FUCKING-body, complains when those titles do this. Why is it suddenly a grave sin when Hoyoverse does it? And to anyone who keeps insisting that it's the copyright strike threat that these creators are pissed of, you might want to consider starting your own solar system for how dense you are. Because you know what else is the same with the titles I mentioned above? That they also have that same copyright strike clause in their own programs. Come on people, we've already figured this shit up years and years ago. Why are we acting like this is some unprecedented phenomenon that could challenge the entirety of gaming when it's already proven to be more good than harm.

[@KoKoNuTz232]

Exactly. The complaint can be simplified to: Now we can't make money of leaks because we will get copyright strikes. Yet, if Mihoyo didn't allow controlled leaks, they would copyright strike any cc that reacted to an "unofficial leak". For example: Leaker releases info about Sam (firefly) ; their kit, new relics, new story, etc... Then ccs react to that content and give it a wider platform in doing so. Mihoyo strikes down the original source and the reacted content to contain the spread of leaked info. Only now Mihoyo has ethical leakers doing the job in a controlled space. The same is still true for any cc who wants to get views of leaks. The cc who reacted to the leaks that isn't authorized to publish leaks is still breaching the copyright. Therefore, they get copyright striked. The only variable that has changed in this process is that Mihoyo are the leakers and have allowed certain ccs to leak approved information for the public. Everything else about the process remains the same. Basically, Mihoyo has employed professional leakers to leak content only Mihoyo approves of to be leaked. And this is within their right to do as the owners of the content that isn't officially released. The problem I see next will be that they changed the kit after the information was released by Mihoyo. When that happens, then it does affect the viewer. But they do say: These are subject to change before release. The content being displayed is unreleased content and therefore, are leaks. They are just being controlled by the source, not by a black hat hacker for instance, who's sole intent is to leak unreleased content maliciously, without a care for the viewer, or the owner.

[@prohanta9360]

JP community in general always been supportive due to the culture of japanese that trying to not engage with conflict especially between your peers. This controversy not affecting us as players but between cc, especially guide maker. There's barely guide maker in JP, masui not even guide maker. So far the one who got hit hardest is mtash, someone who blacklisted by hoyo. This all because money involved

[@Maralagidyne]

There are a few Vietnamese CCs also got early access and upload their reviews too so it's not just EN yeah. The Vietnamese CCs even said that the only restriction that MHY might copyright strike is if you REUPLOAD the video. That CC were also very frank with his review, saying Acheron's signature LC gives a lot of advantage to those who have it in comparison to those who don't is a concerning downside. I have no idea where they got the misinformation of being unable to criticize the characters from.

[@Angelic81092]

@@KoKoNuTz232 thats just..completely wrong, you seem to be only looking at this one dimensionally look at it this way, imagine you’re working with a company that distributes a product for you and other sellers to profit off every year at an exact date, so the competition between you and these other sellers are completely equal because everyone is given the same amount of time but one day, that same company decides to give certain SELECTED people access to that same product 4 months earlier than everyone else you see the problem here now right? there wont even be any competition, people who get access to the product will make all the money while others are being gatekept from it, if you’re a guide maker and you make money off of guides for HSR or genshin you basically stand no chance against those who actually got access to this server this is because realistically, when watching guides, people dont care who exactly are they watching they just want that information as fast as possible, so if you allow some people to push their guides faster than others thats just completely unfair. not to mention that they’re also completely gatekeeping public info that they themselves put out to the public via extension through content creators, so what do you mean i cant even react to a PUBLIC video without a risk of the company copy righting me?

[@VanxHelsing03]

Tectone is definitely over reacting about this if creators get to cherry pick who they partner with then companies have the right to pick too. Nothing wrong with that. It is true that it's fucked up some people could lose their jobs by reacting to partnered content, but it's their own way of protecting their own cc partners. It basically said "make your original content or walk" which sounds pretty valid actually. React content is fun content and doesn't harm the reacted cc much on views, but it doesn't change the fact that it's still lazy content. And the main reason Hoyoverse review the content is to check for leaks unrelated to the character guide. CCs have confirmed that it is the main reason and not censorship. The hoyoverse reviewing cc videos before upload has already been cleared up by their discord call. "Criticism is fine, but no slander" also no one, said that they were not allowed to rate bad characters as bad when they are bad. The other CCs just don't want to use tectone's example of calling mid characters "bad and don't pull" or "it's dogshit don't waste money". They would rather say "it's a good character that can finish MOC12 with proper investment, but I personally won't pull for it, because I already have better characters. I wont stop you from pulling, if you like the character" the delivery is different, because it's about being professional. Hoyoverse is not their friend, they're business partners, so Tectone demanding everyone to be as blunt and brash as him is just dumb. It's like he finds it crazy that some professional and polite with their business partners too. Emphasis on "partners" the CCs given access to the special server doesn't make Hoyoverse their boss, but "partners". All and all Tectone had a L take on this one because he is biased and too emotional about the situation. He clearly has a bad history with hoyorverse and is upset that his friend Mtashed is leaving, because of this. He's not thinking straight.

[@Hanabis924]

Tl;Dr Mihoyo not bad, just handled server/communication poorly. Threatening copy strikes for react content bad. Idea is interesting in beating leakers. After sitting through the creator call from Mr Pokke video and now watching Mr PPs video, Mihoyo definitely handled it poorly from a PR perspective amongst the CCs they have in the CC server. The first thing that comes to mind is they could've tried to reach to all the CCs via the community managers to give the heads up on the plans they have with this special server. I do think the way they threatened copy strikes for reacting to these early release content is unnecessary and has caused big discourse obviously(mainly with teccy and mtashed specifically, I don't blame them either) With regards to whether CCs that are apart of this server are gonna be unable criticize new units etc, I believe that's mostly untrue. Braxs Acheron video imo wasn't hiding her flaws as a f2p unit and he said as much. I do think it's attempt to get ahead of leakers and it's Hoyo trying to gain control and if that is by giving creators that ability, I think it's a positive. An Idea if they move forward with this program might be to let different waves of CCs have access to this server each patch in a rotating system possibly to keep it "fair" and spread the love per se. Long wall of text sorry

[@thethingswedo3686]

Here's the thing though, and i'm not trying to be rude or anything, it's just a genuine question. Why does Hoyo have to care in keeping things fair in regards to allowing every CC into the early access content? They can choose who they want because it's in their right as a company and the owner of said content to choose the CCs they want to promote their product. If they want to give X the early access and not to Y, they're in the right to do so. They aren't responsible nor should they be making any kind of rotating system to keep things "fair" unless it's what they want to do. But they are not obligated to do it. It's their game, their decision. I'd love to hear your opinion and again, not trying to be rude so i'm sorry if it comes off as me being rude/agressive! Edit: Besides this one thing, i do agree it's very bad the fact that CCs are at risk of being striked for reacting to the early access content.

Mihoyo has no obligation to care about how creators feel about the decisions they make for their company. They don't have to inform Ccs of anything. You make money of their content. think of it like this. Mihoyo creates a job for creators. Mihoyo selects the employees for that job. Creators selected agree to the TOS of the job.

In my opinion about this drama. This reflects on the reality of our own world. If you have a good background and good image, a company will likely want you more than the rest. Then, let's not forget, if you were able to make a big image of yourself in their eyes, once again, you'll attract them. So I understand the frustration of the CC in the community but it isn't a big deal in my opinion. It's just around another week for us to get the new unit. Please don't use the "If they get to it first, they get the most advantage." Let's not forget, us audiences will likely go to our fave CC or guide maker in the end of the day. The CC should have known the competition is always harsh. This applies in real life. Getting a job nowadays is hard since you might compete against a very talented or well known person.

[@effortlessfury]

My belief, regarding QoL in both games, is that this is largely the product of Star Rail being built on a fork of Genshin's code. When they started developing Star Rail, they now had to fix the same problems in two places instead of one, but the pace of "new game development" is very different from the pace of "live development." And so, the place where it could be done faster and with a cleaner result is on the new game. You have them do it there, and then bring it back to the old game once you've already gone through the effort to find the solution in the new one. QoL will also always be better in a newer game than an older one, because they'll have figured out how to build the game to be more easily changed than their previous title. The Genshin developer articles stopped for the entirety of 2022 and resumed around the time Star Rail launched, and have been very regular ever since. I don't think that's a coincidence.

If people think these CCs opinions will be whitewashed and not honest, then don’t watch, I’m pretty sure you’ll be able to tell.

Nearly every Drama since Genshin started has more or less the same people involved, now it swaps over to HSR what a suprise. If people dont see that they are blind, refusing the truth or to new to all of that. I can see why Hoyo is now handpicking Content Creators and give them a little bonus with those 1 week earlier Videos they can make now. Every company does that for their games BG 3, FF7, and so on. I was honestly suprised alot of Content Creators got away with the way they talk about Genshin/HSR but still earning crazy amounts of money from content about those branches. And i mean its a very big difference if someone does professional critisism or if someone just slanders over something.

[@hayazakishikibi8696]

The odd thing about this is that they may pick CCs that are not critical to the game. It's like the company only wanted to have a "Happy Path" of reviews. So for me, they are controlling how CCs should say something good and bad about a certain character or content they released And that's what worries me. If the CCs told you that this character is a 10, but when you invested on that character, it became a 6? Did the CCs lied? or the Company became dishonest with the content they released? Think about that for a second. Brax and Tectone are examples of CCs that test the limit of a certain character, or the content they release. If there's something wrong about a character or wrong about the content, they going to say it. It benefits all the people consuming the games they produce. IF all CCs tells you that this game is 100% great all the time, no bugs, no problems etc... Hoyoverse would never step up their development. think for a second. And do a bit of research.

8:42 in terms of this, if we're really talking about fairness, they should've made a CBT-like signup thing but for CC's alone and setup criterias that they (Hoyo) would categorize as a CC. Rather than personally contacting CC's that's making content on Hoyo games, because let's be real they wouldn't be able to, they should've done that instead. A formal announcement from their social accounts as well would be like a notification for the CC's doing content so that they can signup.

[@hisdudeness690]

That would have been a good approach, in fact most live service (not hoyo) games do this. In the end, yes, they need more curation, but in the long term, this is a better solution. Also, reacting to guide videos is just lazy. This affecting small CCs thing is still irrelevant because most big CCs can get the videos out as soon as they finish filming because they have editors, while small CCs edit their stuff on their own, so the video from small CCs will still take a longer time to publish. So, only edge this early access for showcase AND reacting videos will only benefit big CCs. Small CCs catching L in every scenario.

Although yes, same sentiments to the other non-chosen ccs, and no hate to anyone at all, but the yapping capabilities of tectone alone can sway the opinions of the majority. If he perhaps did have access to this, his viewers would definitely cheer and defend/justify the situation, then probably water down and drown the opinions of the other opposing ccs/individuals with lesser influence. Of course, this is all just my biased opinion so that's that.

[@degenxayah]

9 minutes in so maybe you say something more about this later, but a lot of the criticism I've seen also boils down to corporation = bad. it is a very common belief that was even present in other titles such as the f2p arguments for and against most newer games. if a company mishandles something its evil, but if a company does something good it is seen as neutral/as it should be. nobody talks about Pepsi or Coke because they sell their products as expected. everyone cares that a company can be selective about their advertising structure and message because any amount of curation is considered censorship. its not censorship to not allow slander in your own marketing for your own product. moderation is not a violation of free speech.

[@masonroach1786]

From my view i see like that. They tested it and chose the once they deem trustworthy and good content creators. Unfortunately other cc took offense and start blasting it out of proportions. In the video of Braxophone as example he made a disclaimer if his footage will be reused or taken to make their own videos by diffrent cc they could get striked and it happend to some. And its more or less the other cc fault for not listening and paying attention. And also just getting a funny way of fomo for missing a big opportunity. Its kinda cryptic how hoyo tryed to present it but i would just say. Wait and see.

[@uncxmfy]

in my opinion, besides the dmca factor, what’s inherently wrong with the process and why I and some ppl are upset is hoyo’s process of picking the content creators. for example, if the company representatives or employees held misogynistic values, it could explain why sevy isn’t a part of the new server even though her channel and value is on par if not better than those already accepted . she also never projects a negative outlook on hoyo as a company. the negative feedback could have been mitigated if hoyo was more transparent and ethical in this process. they definitely should and most likely do have a PR / public relations team to handle and foresee situations like this. they’ve done an ok job in the past with hsr, but they clearly need to critically analyze the impact and public reception of their actions. ultimately, a bad outlook on the company really can result in less sales and consumer dissatisfaction. ultimately, i do hope they bring in more creators through a better process, maybe applications but i don’t know how feasible that may be. expanding the pool of creators will only help the company, the perception, hype around characters, and increase sales. solving the exclusivity and inherently unethical factors in this new system will help everyone involved

Isn't it strikingly similar? In Hoyo's eyes, those content creators who spend their days solely focused on clickbait, seeking attention, and drama aren't worthy of being called CCs anymore.Not to mention how many CCs make a living by spreading rumors and slandering Hoyo all day long. Why should Hoyo give these people qualifications? Why should Hoyo bother being the goody two-shoes?"

[@wqi09]

*Addressing The Issue* No, I don't think having CC covering unreleased content will affect how other performs, including you. The reasons: 1. You should know, we watch you not because the content you made (mostly), but your character. In these era, people watch someone because their personality. I'm referring to Pokke drama with a creator months ago. Pokke said it himself, he made video or livestream and people watch it not because they care about 0 cycle but more because his characters. There's people out there who might have better 0 cycle showcase but not getting as many views as him or as popular as him. So 'the content' is not the case here. 2. Many people made guides or content but only few get as many views like you, Pokke, Brax, GachaSmack, etc. What does that means? That means you already got your root in community. So having one that got access or privileges to review unreleased content won't directly affect you. You can still share your wisdom and knowledge about the game regardless there's unreleased content or not. 3. Got someone with privileges or access to unreleased content is actually better than uncontrolled leak everywhere. In fact we see the leaks way before Braxophone making unreleased content video. Leakers is actually what kills you from getting the views, not someone like Braxophone. 4. This is actually things that you should've celebrate. This issue only go to the surface on EN community, CN and JP are actually appreciate these decision. From my understanding, it's actually made the environment better. So please don't quickly judge Hoyoverse decision. Think of them as content creator too, put yourself on their shoes. How do you feel if people took advantage of your secret. I believe you will feel better if your secret coming off from you yourself or one friend than coming from everyone, right? In this case, leakers. 5. Not everyone like spoiler, so having someone covering unreleased content only took few portion of the community. There's still alot of shares left on the market. For example, there's some people who avoid watching Brax video, then there's also someone like me who still watch other people guide video to seek different perspective. So do not worry about views. 6. True community and fans will watch whatever and whoever, so like I state it before, how you get the views and share is by entertaining the audience. It's not about the content at all, it's only small factor. I hope my reasoning open your mind and boost your confidence. :)

[@jamesnieves1216]

I don't get where all the drama is coming from. These CC's do it for a living. And just like any normal job, if you do it well, in this case creating guides for games, your employer will recognize that hardwork. Its not like Xlice or Brax et al just came out of nowhere and was given early access. Hoyo wouldn't give this privilege to any "employee" whose only content is to react or give first impressions and not actual guides. It just wouldn't make sense.

[@criccode2993]

I would always take guides/first impression with a grain of salt because for any cc, if they say too much bad(not in a defaming manner, just about the unit), they can be removed and basically lose a lot to their peers. If such a power dynamic exists, cc's would surely tend to be more favourable towards mihoyo. I don't know if this happens or not(I believe it was a good idea to blacklist both mtashed and tectone from genshin) but I will still take the information cautiously. Because even if there was no such thing, there can be fundamental things that I like or dislike about a unit which may not be sth that the cc agrees with, so you always need to be wary about giving into hype/doomposting

[@jellyfish4156]

1. This is likely still a test run, so it's fair that hoyo limits who they give access to. If the general reception is positive, they might invite more ccs next time. Otherwise, hoyo might just discard the early access. 2. Ccs can still make guides from the content of the early access. They're just not allowed to repost the video and or the audio. They can state their opinion while showing the official kit preview. If they word it carefully, they can probably get away with sprinkling a few details only available from the early access videos. 3. This can hurt smaller guide makers, true, but I think that the genre is quite oversaturated. Viewers can actively search for guides from smaller guide makers if they really want to try and boost them. 4. There are a few smaller ccs that I watch whose channel are not focusing on character guide videos, namely: god doggos (who also got the early acess), zmm (the one who has warpless account), nakfrg (achievement hunter), and magemasher22 (plays the game in their own pace) 5. Now this is my very biased opinion, but I've seen 2 leak accounts that had a knee-jerk reaction over the early access. If they're complaining, maybe early access does help combat leakers after all? Or it can help making leaks a bit less appealing since the early access can help people farm ahead of time.

I agree that some CC are overreacting to this situation to, intentional either to milk views or other reason and maybe non intentional as thats how they really feel. But in my pov, be true as it is that it might give too much advantage for certain CC, its still within Hoyo's right, especially when they DON'T even make official partnership with Hoyo. And what ick me the most is that that certain CC is not even getting the proper information yet and telling everyone that its the end of Hoyo game content creation. Don't forget, Hoyo didnt even ask them to be Hoyo's CC but they choose to get monetization from Hoyo games. I saw some other CC use footage of those selected CC, and they're not getting striked yet. Let's see how this will go..

as im growing up, im happy some of the CCs i watch are also growing up

[@sp-exos3517]

Man I love your take on it, a real mature take. All Hoyo needs to do is start an application process

[@AllInOne-mb4qx]

this is gonna kill any small ccs that want to survive in this game as guide maker as well as any other ccs viwership

[@6MinutesLothar]

who needs guide makers when players can actually read any official released character's kit via hoyolab 😂

[@iggy8200]

Most new CCs don't do it out of passion but for money, those who work for it will grow and get far. You know, like the real world, where you evolve by working hard proving yourself. People babysitting new CCs are literally the ones asking for bad content in a large quantity, rather than smaller quality content.

First for All, Tectone is REACT content creator. So why would Hoyoverse invite him if at the end he only react to content? No additional information or whatever going to be add towards benefits of the game. So he’s invalid to it. Maybe he and Mtashed feels attacked because HOYOVERSE decide to put copyright strike if he were to react to it. But in the end, these people will get invited to the Creator Server. Wait for your (teccy) turn crybaby

[@Hanabis924]

the main issue issue the potential DMCA if you react over something that is perceived to be "fair use". I think this is a legit concern. However, I will agree that Tectone overreacted because there wasn't too much information at the time due to the bad communication by Hoyoverse. That is on Hoyo because of the timing of this. Mtashed does "feel" guides of units; so he has a right to be concern. Also remember, GachaSmack, Iyo and many other CCs have the same thoughts as Tectone and Mtashed on X...

@@Hanabis924Way too many people have a bad understanding of Fair Use in the DMCA. For something to truly be fair use, many strict conditions must be met, such as being very transformative, not using a huge portion of the original work, often times not being monetized, etc. The kind of reaction that most “big” KZbinrs and streamers do is not anywhere near transformative enough to fall under fair use, nor does it provide any meaningful value to HoYoVerse.

I havent watched the video, but im pretty much in line with you because of what you said on the podcast and on pokke's call. Is really weird to me that people are so fixated on either you are with me or against me. I know Hoyo could go a very different way and make the plainfield more fair to other CCs, but they are just trying stuff atp and its understandable that some people are gonna be more benefited than others.

[@justwatchin6188]

My conclusion and take on this: - Idea is good, especially if there is also an application process in the future. - Timing is bad, communication is bad on MHY’s side. - Tectone is overreacting on a lot of the stuff on this but no need to go after his head. He has a point in “copyright strike case” and people wishing ill on him 24/7 are MUCH MUCH worse than his overreacting and abrasive ass. - Speaking of, DMCA claiming react content which the source was allowed to be published publicly and should be protected under fair use is INSANE. I honestly don’t know what MHY is smoking. - The privilege for being in content creator server obviously creates an unfair competition but nothing to do about this. World is not fair. - Apart from CCs, I don’t see any downsides at all in this for viewers. If the content released is allowed to be critical and speak freely about issues as it has been mentioned by multiple people, this is only an upside for viewers to be able to plan their pulls and generate hype etc.

[@cinnamo7]

but what does fairness mean when I get an unfair advantage?

[@BeckyRoth99]

Go outside man, get a real job, and maybe you'll find out that the world is not and has never been fair. Stop making this "what if" scenario like what your bald streamer told you.

[@R_Bunni]

Content creation is unfair sorry you had to learn this now 🤷‍♀️

@@R_Bunni exactly. And he knows that. So why make it more unfair for his peers?
