Infinity Nikki’s Latest Controversy, What’s Going On Now?

Infinity Nikki is back in the spotlight — and not in a good way. The game that once filled a unique space in the gacha scene is now facing growing backlash over its decisions, and things just keep spiraling. From misleading pricing to regional favoritism, many players feel the developers are pushing the limits of what’s acceptable.

Let’s start with the pricing issue. A while ago, the game listed an in-game bathtub item with a so-called “80% discount,” pricing it at $10 — down from a supposed $70. The problem? That bathtub was never actually sold for $70. It was released at the discounted price, making the original cost completely made up.

In places like the EU, this kind of pricing tactic isn’t just shady — it’s potentially illegal. Players noticed, and the backlash was quick. Eventually, the devs removed the “discount” label, but the damage was done. Now, it seems they’ve done it again. Another item appeared with a similar “discount” tag, sparking even more anger. This isn’t just frustrating — it’s misleading and erodes trust in the developers.

Chinese Favoritism, Community Backlash and More Infinity NIKKI

It doesn’t stop there. Just recently, Infinity Nikki gave away a free 10-pull and extra rewards — but only to Chinese players. Global users got nothing, despite having their own milestones and player base. What’s worse, Chinese players reportedly still benefit from global events like Steam milestones. That double standard is rubbing players the wrong way.

This kind of regional favoritism isn’t new in gacha games, but the way it’s being handled here is causing real damage to the game’s reputation. The player community is speaking up, and many are saying they’re ready to walk away if things don’t improve.

They loved Infinity Nikki for giving them something different — a dress-up RPG that didn’t just follow the usual trends. But lately, it feels like the developers are more interested in squeezing profits than supporting their players.

For now, it’s clear that Infinity Nikki is at a crossroads. The game still has potential, but if these patterns continue, more players will start turning their backs. What was once a refreshing title in the gacha space now risks becoming another cautionary tale.
