HoYoverse Strikes Back: CandyCrawl Sued for 1 Million RMB Over Leaked Content

The gaming community is buzzing with the latest legal move by HoYoverse. According to data from Tianyancha, the developer has filed an unfair competition lawsuit against 'Qianjun Wanbo' (a tech media group) over content published on their platform, 'CandyCrawl' (Candou Wang).

The lawsuit demands that the defendants immediately cease disseminating leaked unreleased content from *Genshin Impact* and remove all related material from their social media channels, including Weibo, Douyin, and WeChat official accounts. HoYoverse is seeking 1 million RMB in damages and legal fees. Reactions from the community have been supportive, with many feeling that HoYoverse is finally showing its teeth—a sentiment often referred to as 'increasing the intensity' (jia da li du). While some users are surprised by the obscure target, others are questioning why more prominent 'leaker' channels on platforms like Bilibili haven't been dealt with yet.
