Genshin Impact<\/a> has been one of the most successful titles since its launch a year ago, maintaining great popularity and a growing player base while putting miHoYo, the Chinese company responsible for the game, on the list of the biggest video game developers in 2020.<\/p>\n

However, as often happens with many relevant games and franchises, Genshin Impact hasn’t been exempt from being a target of hundreds of leaks, shared by users with access to its private beta (despite signing NDAs) and insider sources from miHoYo.<\/p>\n

With this in mind and as a last resort, miHoYo has unexpectedly started a crusade to end the leakers after the reveal of a lawsuit against  Chinese video platform ‘Bilibili’ on 6th September.<\/p>\n

According to a report shared by DualShockers<\/a>, since Chinese law prohibits miHoYo from asking Bilibili private information about their users outside of court, they decided to register the lawsuit against the platform instead of going straight towards the undisclosed leakers.<\/p>\n

This event, now known by players as the “Leakers Hunt Decree”<\/strong>, referencing the decree created by the Raiden Shogun within the game, has prompted a massive exodus of some of the best-known dataminers in the Genshin Impact community.<\/p>\n

Some of the biggest names include abc64<\/strong> and Sukuna<\/strong>, whose Twitter accounts are no longer available at the time of writing, in addition to Dimbreath<\/a> and UBatcha<\/a>, who have announced a hiatus due to the current situation.<\/p>\n

Likewise, communities such as Project Celestia<\/a>, Genshin Intel<\/a> and the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor’s Discord server have decided to pause all content regarding leaks until further notice while keeping their doors open as they are some of the largest Genshin communities.<\/p>\n
