#ensemble stars! the player base absolutely loathes any idea of a leak or possible leak

[generalsmemories]

i might be alone in this opinion, but i wish leaks weren't so common place bc sometimes i do want to be surprised about something instead of having it spoiled for me

oh no no you're most definitely not alone in that opinion buddy. it has been a bit of an irk lately for genshin fans that at this point even ARCHON QUESTS can be leaked (from context to full on dialogues like). i myself were really flabbergasted when the the first leak the 1.0 playerbase got was a render sheet about different characters who we had no idea about.

and i'm usually a person who doesn't mind leaks or spoilers of any kind - but there's something about the quantity of leaks that comes forth from both genshin and star rail that does irritate me just because of the sheer amount that gets handed out on a silver platter. a silver platter most didn't ask for, but gladly eats up. i understand someone's point of wanting to know who comes next to save up or so to say, be "safe"-

but star rail already implemented that saving factor by giving us the next patch banners that comes AFTER an upcoming patch update (i don't know how to explain this in an easy way, but literally Huo Huo and Argenti for 1.5 when we about to go into 1.4 with Jingliu and Topaz who we were informed about a couple of weeks into patch 1.3) that's already generous enough because even genshin don't be doing that - the leaks be doing that for them.

i mean, star rail leakers has already datamined like at least 8 upcoming characters at this point (i don't even know if im exaggerating that number) all from their designs, names to possible path too

but again, to each their own. some like that reassurance while others hate it. in my humble opinion though, both of these games would be a lot more hyped up and have a more excited reaction if we had zero idea who would come next.
