Where Winds Meet has been the talk of the town recently, thanks to its goofy AI chatbots and demonic geese, with some declaring it as one of the best games to release this year. Along with promises that the game would never become pay-to-win, developer Everstone Studio managed to get itself in a good position to be a hit with players and keep them on board. Unfortunately, Where Winds Meet has now been hit with its first potential backlash, and just like with Persona 5: The Phantom X earlier this year, it all revolves around what many perceive as preferential treatment towards the game's Chinese server.
It all started when Where Winds Meet's new Sword Unseen outfit was added to the game, which came in the form of a gacha that players would need to roll to gradually unlock each part. Every roll increases in price as it goes, and if you wanted everything in the bundle, you'd eventually have to drop over 7,000 Echo Beads. It's pretty standard gacha, but the issue comes from how the outfit was made available on the game's Chinese servers.
On the Chinese servers, the Sword Unseen outfit is a flat purchase...
