Genshin Impact Drama: 80 Primogem Check-in Rewards Sniped by Scalpers?

The Genshin Impact Weibo check-in reward, which grants 80 Primogems, is a staple 'freebie' for players. However, this morning, many were met with a 'sold out' message upon trying to claim their rewards.

Meanwhile, on 'seafood platforms' (a common Chinese slang for second-hand marketplaces like Xianyu), scalpers appeared to be reselling these codes, likely acquired through scripts. Players lamented the situation, mourning the loss of easy rewards.

In the comments, opinions were mixed: some users noted that the rewards are usually replenished in batches, so patience is key. Others realized with regret that they had missed out on these rewards for dozens of game versions. The community expressed strong resentment toward the scalpers, calling for better protection against such automated greed.
