Honkai: Star Rail Releases Fan Creation Guidelines, Players Call It 'Armor-Stacking'

Honkai: Star Rail has officially released its 'Fan Derivative Works Creation Guidelines V1.0'. Structurally similar to the guidelines for Genshin Impact, these new rules refine existing clauses and add more specific administrative details. The original poster suggests that while the rules look official, the actual enforcement is what truly matters, mocking the tendency of companies to make empty promises.

The community response has been cynical, with many players labeling this 'die-jia'—an internet slang term meaning to 'stack armor' (i.e., making defensive legal or public relations statements to avoid future liability). Some commenters hope the rules will deter content creators from leaking pre-release data. However, others remain skeptical about the efficacy of these rules, especially concerning private servers and unauthorized plugins. Players shared anecdotes of reporting videos that promote private servers, only to see them remain online, highlighting the gap between official policy and real-world enforcement.
