[April Fools' Scoop] Arknights Merch Store 'Price Error' Leads to Employee 'Firing'? It's All Just a Marketing Stunt!

On April Fools' Day, the Arknights merch store faced a sudden 'price glitch': a gift box originally priced at 99 RMB was listed for only 9.9 RMB, causing it to be pulled from the shelves immediately. Shortly after, the developer announced that the employee responsible, 'Mr. You,' had been permanently dismissed for this error, shocking the community.

However, the truth soon came to light. Many players realized this was an elaborate April Fools' marketing stunt involving a limited sale of 99 units at 9.9 RMB. The 'unlucky employee' was actually a reference to the in-game character 'Eureka' (whose name sounds similar to 'You' in Chinese). Reactions were mixed, with some feeling fooled by the immersive narrative, while others found the playful antics perfectly fitting for the holiday.
