【Gossip】Gamer Experiences Real-Life Police Visit After Pre-downloading Game Client

Recently, a user shared an absurd experience on the NGA forums: after pre-downloading 'Honkai: Star Rail' via the TapTap third-party store, they received a phone call from the police alleging the app was a 'scam software' and demanding its removal. Even more surprising, the officer knew their home address and actually showed up for an in-person verification visit.

The player reported that after the police spoke with their parents, the main outcome was a lecture on anti-fraud awareness and a warning to spend less time gaming. The post sparked intense speculation: some suggest it was a false positive triggered by anti-fraud software on their phone, while others speculate that TapTap's status as a third-party app store led to the system flagging it as a risk.

The comment section is polarized. Some joked that the police were simply 'preventing financial loss from gacha,' while conspiracy theorists suspect that the game's massive pre-download success threatened competitors, suggesting potential sabotage. This surreal incident remains a hot topic in the community regarding the intersection of mandatory anti-fraud protocols and gaming.
