Multiple Chinese news websites such as QQ and ChinaZ have recently reported on HoYoverse’s “crackdown on criminal gangs producing and selling cheats in Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail”. As per these reports, HoYoverse had been working together with local law enforcement agencies for the last six months in a special operation dedicated to finding and dealing with people mass-producing and selling “Cheats”.
Generally, cheats are meant to refer to illegal modifications in the game which can provide undue advanatge to people using them. For example, certain cheats can quickly defeat very high-level bosses even though the player is at a very low level, while certain other cheats can automatically gather valuable in-game resources such as Primogems from the entire map without the player needing to explore and farm them. Cheats such as these are not only illegal, but they also destroy the overall gameplay experience.
According to QQ and ChinaZ, HoYoverse has arrested a total of 32 people in this recent crackdown, with 25 of them being detained. Additionally, 27 Taobao (online) shops found to be selling these in-game cheats have also been identified and impounded.

HoYoverse has also often initiated legal proceedings against leakers for leaking future game content illegally.
