Any true Genshin Impact player will tell you: there is nothing more sacred than primo gems. Without these little starry crystals, there's no summoning, no favorite characters, no devastating weapons. MiHoYo has calibrated the monetization of its flagship game well, and this premium in-game currency has become the be-all and end-all for fans, galvanized by each new character release. Very recently, during FanimeCon 2022 in San Jose, USA, a cosplayer completely turned the social networks of Genshin impact fans upside down. Instead of taking on the appearance of one of Teyvat's most charismatic characters, the latter has chosen to embody... A huge human-sized primo-gem . It was enough to think about it.
On your knees before the divine Primo!
Very quickly going viral on Twitter and Reddit, the video shows the cosplayer in Primo-gem outfit standing up in the center of the square. A few seconds are enough for dozens of Genshin Impact characters to flock, also cosplayers! The latter then kneel in front of the giant primo-gem, symbolizing the most precious resource of Genshin Impact.
Fans greatly appreciated this improvised happening at the Californian Convention. On Reddit, the video has over 30,000 upvotes. We must admit that this is a great way to admit, with a bit of self-mockery, that the monetization of Genshin Impact is as effective as it is tricky .
Admit it: when Hoyoverse waves in front of us some primo-gems of compensation after a maintenance, we behave exactly like these cosplayers.
