The authors of the gacha game Epic Seven canceled the update due to the protest of gamers - they were going to send a truck with a video message to the company's office
Chinese fans of the Epic Seven mobile RPG raised $6,000 for a truck that was supposed to drive around the Smilegate publisher's office in South Korea for eight hours a day for a week. They wanted to put psychological pressure on the company and force it not to change the leveling system in the game.
It was assumed that a screen would be attached to the truck, on which a video message from disgruntled gamers would be broadcast.
The idea of gamers turned out to be partly successful. Shortly after it began to be massively posted online, Smilegate apologized to the audience and announced that it would not update the game. Prior to this, Smilegate planned to give Epic Seven users the opportunity to "combine" characters re—acquired through gacha and thereby enhance their abilities - there is a similar system in Genshin Impact. However, this feature was initially supposed to work only with characters recently added to the game. According to gamers, because of this, the new characters would become stronger than the old ones.
