Nintendo fans protest announcement of Zelda: Breath of the Wild clone "Genshin Impact" for PS4 by raging at ChinaJoy event

Fan outrage boils over

GN Version 5.0

Genshin Impact is a game we've covered on GoNintendo in the past, as it seems to be very heavily inspired by Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Some people claim the game flat-out steals and hits too close to Nintendo's efforts, which left them quite angry about the whole situation. That anger has boiled over at a recent ChinaJoy event.

At ChinaJoy, Genshin Impact was announced for release on PS4, which pushed some fans over the edge. As you can see in the picture above, some Switch owners publicly protested the game's reveal, giving the game's booth the finger. There was even a man who smashed his PS4 over the announcement! This isn't going to change the game releasing on PS4 of course, but it's pretty surprising to see a backlash of this level taking place.
