Some ten months ago, Genshin Impact has released it's most powerful character to date - Neuvillette.
A Lucius Malfoy looking mofo who is the reincarnation of an ancient dragon and blah blah blah no one cares. What people care about is that he's strong. Very strong. His attack is a massive water beam that hits all target in front of him, with a massive range. And while when played normally, he is already pretty strong, but he is even stronger if you exploi- apply clever use of game mechanics, which is to say, get one of those high dpi gaming mice and spin to win. Basically, you can spin the character around and not just do massive damage to enemies in front of you, but also instantaneously do massive damage to literally everything within the full circle. Here's a video comparison of his normal and spinning gameplay:
This bug has been widely known and discussed since the character was in beta, and remained unchanged. Until today, that is. Mihoyo, the developers behind Genshin, are planning to release a brand new character that performs a similar role to Neuvillette in the next patch. So this patch, they got the bright idea to bugfix this. Neuvillette fans were, quite naturally, not happy about this. A new character is being released so they're nerfing an older character to make the new character more enticing? Seems like a scummy move.
So while the westerners are too busy protesting about whitewashing in Genshin (see https://rdrama.net/h/vidya/post/284560/apparently-the-mayos-marseymayo-are-trying and https://rdrama.net/h/vidya/post/284245/boycott-genshin-impact-marseyxi-marseysjw-because for more context), the Chinese playerbase got mad about this nerf, and did what they do best. Started doxing developers, sending threats, reporting the company to Chinese government authorities for misconduct, etc.
In under 24 hours of the nerf going live, Mihoyo, the company behind Genshin, folded. They announced they're reverting the change, apologized, and decided to give everyone 1600 free primogems (in-game currency used for summoning new characters), which is substantially higher than anything they've ever given as an apology for these kinds of situations (usually a bug fix warrants 100 primogems).

Here's their official apology on Twitter. As you can see by looking at the replies and quote retweets, the westerners are not happy. They've been signing petitions, harassing VAs and streamers until they agree with them, spamming all social media, getting the attention of gaming journ*lists for their cause, etc. for days and did not get so much as acknowledgement from Mihoyo, while the Chinese playerbase buckbroke them over a different issue in under a single day? Makes you wonder how serious anyone takes them.

Oh, and one more important thing to add - Mihoyo is infamous for being pigheaded when it comes to listening to feedback over Genshin. The game has been out for roughly four years now, and to date, they have literally only twice folded and did what their community demanded. First time, it was during the first year of Genshin, when they made the character that is the god of the in-game China equivalent region stronger because the fanbase complained he was too weak. This Neuvillette situation is the second time.

The practice of giving away free currency to users as an apology for bugs has been a fricking disaster for mobileslop devs. Every patch note or minor issue has crack addict gacha losers feigning outrage in hopes of a crumb of free coin.

O say can you shart, in the local Walmart?
What so proudly expelled from anus' last leaking
Whose broad streaks and brown stars through the perilous blight
O'er the aisles we watched shit, gallantly streaming
And mutts nappy hair, negroes everywhere
Give proof that our race is 56% disgrace
O say, does that shiet-spangled bummer yet cut
O'er the land of the shart and the home of the mutt

What goddarn amateurs. Even back when Jedi Academy released and was widely played online, there was a similar trick with dual lightsabers, you could float them in the air around you like a barrier, and anything they passed through took massive damage, except your mouse movement wasn't locked during this.
A lot of people just spun their mouse around pretty fast, basically creating a meat grinder around them... the more experienced ones just wrote a macro that did the work for them.
