‘Infinity Nikki’ Developer’s Apology Isn’t Enough To End Players’ 'Girlcott'

Infold

Infinity Nikki has been feeling a lot less whimsical lately. After a recent patch that brought new outfits and activities to the game also introduced a host of bugs and unpopular changes, players responded by flooding the game with negative reviews and calling out developer Infold online. Infold has responded by issuing multiple public apologies but little in the way of fixes, and is now stepping up its apology tour with adjustments to its update schedule and compensation for players.

The launch of April’s Bubble Season update coincided with Infinity Nikki’s launch on Steam, turning what was already a problematic patch into a catastrophe by immediately sending the fashion game’s reviews to Mostly Negative territory. The biggest issues with the update are numerous bugs, which have left some players unable to even load the game or use its multiplayer features without causing a crash. Players also accuse Infold of pushing microtransactions more aggressively, even changing the game’s story to shoehorn in more paid outfits.
