In the vibrant world of gaming, Genshin Impact has once again left its mark, claiming one of the top spots in Weibo’s 2023 Popular Game of the Year awards. This news, posted by ‘Maobury’, sparked an enthusiastic conversation overflowing with emotions ranging from delight to surprise.

The Competition

The gaming enthusiast and fellow redditor, ‘Prisma_Lane’, expressed his surprise at the absence of HSR from the list while recognizing other names including ‘Path to Nowhere’, ‘Arknights’, and a certain game from Garena. Jumping into the thread, ‘DailyMilo’ shared his amazement at ‘Path to Nowhere’s’ popularity hinting his impression of the game as being rather forgotten, despite its appealing English dub.

Prize Expectations

While some users delved deeper into the competition, others focused on what this victory could mean for them. ‘CauliflowerBig’ and ‘yummieee’ playfully asked for their primogem rewards albeit with a slight tone of sarcasm. The community’s usual qualms about bonuses and their sizes are unmistakably clear here.

Weibo and Genshin’s Win

Amid the celebrations and jests, some users seemed to be lost on one tiny yet significant detail – ‘Weibo’. ‘TheMike0088’ openly asked what ‘Weibo’ is, unknowingly adding a dash of humor to the intense conversation. ‘JohannesMarcus’ simply expressed an approving ‘Ofc it was’, acknowledging the game’s accomplishment while a surprised ‘MrWhiteTruffle’ dropped a comment regarding the ranking of ‘Identity V’ and expressed his surprise as to how the gaming world is shaping.

For games, triumphant nods like these not only solidify their positions in the gaming industry but also boost the enthusiasm of the gaming community. They generate fresh discussions, recall fond memories and sometimes, remind us that with each win, the pleas for primogems will never end. The popular sentiment among the community certainly resonated with humor, elation and ever present demand for in-game rewards.
