Risinus Ban Fiasco Escalates: Ops Team Unbans Everyone Without Boss's Approval, All Re-Banned — Meanwhile the CEO Was Asleep

Imagine this: a mobile game's operations team mass-unbans every player who got suspended for bug exploitation — while the CEO is literally asleep — then the CEO wakes up and frantically re-bans them all. Sounds like a shitpost, but Risinus (雷索纳斯) actually pulled this off today.

The story starts with a previous ban wave: players who exploited in-game bugs got their accounts permanently suspended. Standard stuff. Then on March 14th, the ops team suddenly announced that ALL banned accounts were being reinstated — no warning, no explanation, no apparent approval from anyone with authority.

User daydreamfool dropped the key context in the replies: the company's CEO, known as Panghu (胖虎, literally 'Fat Tiger'), was asleep during this entire decision. He only found out after waking up. The operations team made a critical call affecting the entire playerbase without the boss even knowing.

But wait — it gets better. The original poster later updated with the latest development: all the newly unbanned accounts have been re-banned. That's right — banned, unbanned, then banned again, all within the same day. Players are calling it '二进宫' (literally 'entering the palace twice'), Chinese slang for getting arrested again right after release.

A commenter nailed it: 'The ops team can issue unbanning announcements without the producer's sign-off? I genuinely can't fathom how this company is run.' Another suspected it was about 'trying to pass the blame once things blew up.'

The community's reactions were pure gold. One player wrote: 'Panghu needs to evolve into Thresh from League of Legends at this point — cyber amnesty followed by cyber retrial, releasing prisoners just to lock them back up. My gacha money basically bought tickets to his circus show, and honestly? Great value.' Another quipped: 'Arrested → released as innocent → back for a pre-ordered prison sentence.'

Some players suspected this was all deliberate theater. One commenter speculated: 'I think they're doing a double act — testing the waters to see if players would accept a full pardon. If yes, great amnesty for all. If no, just pretend it never happened. Running a company through QQ groups and Weibo is the same circus either way.' Another added: 'Who knows, just watch the ending. Either way, normal players didn't lose anything, so whatever.'

The whole debacle paints a damning picture of Risinus's internal governance. One commenter straight-up proposed legislation: 'There should be a law against running gacha games through QQ group chats.' Another veteran player sighed: 'I used to watch Panghu's other game Mecha Saga for the drama, now I get to enjoy the clown show from a distance too — classic Game Kingdom (游戏公国) energy.' The real winners of this whole fiasco? The spectators, eating popcorn on NGA.
