In addition to not fixing bugs in games that steal 5-star reviews from other games, Tower of Fantasy (ToF) also has many other `scandals` such as plagiarism, stealing other games’ resources and using illegal identities.
4. Using stolen ID
Shortly after its launch, Tower of Fantasy made a very serious mistake when it assisted in using the identities of the deceased.
Because Tower of Fantasy was not previously released internationally, players needed a Chinese identification code (ID), such as an ID or ID card number.
These IDs originally belonged to the deceased, most of whom were victims of the 2017 landslide in Sichuan, China.
In response to the incident of foreign players using illegal IDs, ToF only issued a statement that the admin of the above Discord server was not related to the company.
5. `Borrow ideas` from many other entertainment products
The similarity of ToF with Hoyoverse games is something everyone can easily recognize.
In fact, the fact that many subsequent games are inspired by or even identical to previous games is inevitable and has happened many times.
The first time this happened was in December 2021, not long after ToF was released.
However, this is not the only time ToF copied the ideas of other entertainment products.
Many people couldn’t help but wonder why Tower of Fantasy, a game with so much promise, worked so superficially and had so many `scandals`.
This method is only effective for attracting new players, but retaining and making players spend money is another story.
