Chinese gamers are protesting Infinity Nikki by flooding its Steam launch with attempts to scare off would-be players

Infinity Nikki Version 1.5.

The relationship between gacha game developers and their players is often a strained one. That couldn't be more evident with how Chinese Infinity Nikki players have been reacting to its most recent update, including taking to the forums of the new Steam launch en masse to warn people away from playing.

Version 1.5 launched this week and it's a pretty big one. There's a new dye system, extra colour evolutions for a handful of outfits, and the introduction of the Star Sea ensemble, an iconic fit in the Nikki series. Aside from the multitude of bugs it seems to have introduced—if you can even get into the game to experience them right now—there's been a real subtle monetisation push on Infold's side.
