Recently, news broke that WeChat Pay attempted to pilot a service fee in universities, sparking widespread outrage. Because this affects payment infrastructure—and by extension, the costs of mobile game microtransactions—the gaming community has been closely monitoring the situation. Netizens poked fun at the situation, noting that it brings back the notorious 'Q-Coin era' vibes, suggesting that Tencent has forgotten its past lessons and is testing the market's limits once again.
Faced with collective resistance from universities, WeChat 'slid to their knees' (a common Chinese slang for a rapid, submissive apology/retreat) and issued a desperate PR statement. The comment section was filled with users questioning why the company would attempt such a move before achieving a total monopoly. Critics point out that this is classic corporate greed—shifting operational costs directly onto consumers, much like how certain mobile games unilaterally raise prices on iOS. Many users suggest that by imposing these 'road tolls,' Tencent is effectively handing their market share over to competitors like Alipay and UnionPay, humorously labeling the move as 'feeding the enemy.'
