Genshin Impact enjoys great popularity, and a black market has formed around the game. Some entrepreneurs supply cheats for the miHoYo (HoYoverse) title.
Efforts are being made to combat them, with certain successes. Recently, as a result of a joint investigation with miHoYo, law enforcement tracked down the creators of the cheat “大世界消除” (Open World Erasure), which wrecked the in-game economy. An operation was carried out in China to detain several Genshin Impact cheat developers. A total of 3 key members of the criminal ring were arrested.
Cheaters in Genshin Impact co-op mode were able to delete objects from the game world. The number of victims exceeded 20,000 players, causing some to fear playing in co-op.
