Gossip: 'Genshin Workshop' Mini-program Shuts Down Amid Controversy

Recently, a piece of news has set the gaming community abuzz: 'Genshin Workshop' (Yuan Shen Chuang Yi Gong Fang), a well-known third-party tool that provided character data and pull-rate statistics, suddenly shut down all mini-program access on the evening of the 17th. The creator urged users to 'take screenshots to save your records as soon as possible.' The comments section for the mini-program has since been locked, and all features are currently offline.

Regarding this sudden shutdown, the community is rife with speculation. Many suspect that the developer, miHoYo, finally stepped in. Users pointed out that the mini-program not only tracked Abyss usage but also encouraged players to download a third-party app called 'Hutao Helper,' which required logging in with game credentials—a practice many considered a severe security risk. This shutdown is widely seen as an official crackdown on data scraping and unauthorized access.

In the comment threads, opinions are sharply divided: some long-time users regret losing these convenient features and are worried about where to check their pull data now, while others applaud the official intervention, arguing that tools accessing account data are inherently dangerous and should be removed entirely.
