Zenless Zone Zero Reverses Controversial Camera Update Following Player Backlash

HoYoverse quickly rolled back a patch that obscured character models from certain angles after widespread community complaints.

A recent update to Zenless Zone Zero introduced a camera effect that faded character models when viewed from specific low angles, sparking outrage among players.
The change, perceived by many as censorship, led to significant backlash on social media and Reddit, with players voicing their dissatisfaction and speculating on its motives.
HoYoverse responded swiftly, issuing a hotfix within 24 hours to restore the original camera behavior, calling the fading effect a 'bug.'
The developer apologized for the issue and compensated players with 300 Polychromes, the game's in-game currency, as a goodwill gesture.
The incident highlights the tension between fanservice elements in games and potential regulatory or community standards, as well as the responsiveness of developers to community feedback.
