๐งก Let's Chat ๐ฌ Proof ZZZ "tourist" drama isn't in our heads
So, I've been having so many arguments in HYL recently about how I'm a tourist because I wanted the devs to stick to what they sold at launch, gaslighting me telling me that it's always been the way it is now and I'm just playing victim and wanting to hurt the men who play the game to see goonbait. The classic dev interview screenshot about more male agents, more defense agents, and more faction specific designs has been doing the rounds, with most people saying it's fake and they can't find any evidence of it existing other than on reddit posts.
So I did some digging, the screenshot was a transcript of a live Dev talk Q&A on Bilibili a month prior to launch and translated, the OG interview no longer exists unless you have an existing BB account and you happened to save that live and people were using this as "proof" it was invented.
So petty ass queen that I am, I did some digging and low and behold I find THIS interview with the ZZZ producer going into 2.0 saying the exact same things!
Interview: Preparing Zenless Zone Zero 2.0 and Its Characters
So all those insults that anyone who wants anything different shouldn't have started playing the game (despite a diverse urban aesthetic of factions being what we were sold pre/at launch) and now we have we should just quit playing; the general sentiment that we're creating the lack of diversity drama and shift in design in our heads because we like "playing victim" and it's not something the devs have ever promised.... well....
I have my new standard response lmao
