MihoYo (they make Genshin Impact) is rebranding as HoYoverse outside of China
- Thread starter KoolAid
- Start date
So that HoYoverse doesn't have to conform to the same CCP censorship as MiHoYo does (I assume).
This must be one of the weird steps they're taking to avoid CCP control. They recently threw together a Singapore based subsidiary called Cognosphere that now handles publishing their games outside of China.

Genshin Impact Has A New Publisher Named Cognosphere
Genshin Impact has officially changed its publisher from miHoYo to Cognosphere, though it's not the massive paradigm shift you might

So funny to see these companies scramble to align their name so that it's similar to Facebook's parent company.
Not even close to "forward thinking".

It's not a good name but hey, if this is partly to get away from CCP censorship then I'm all for it. Recently they put out those alternate outfits for Jean/Rosaria/Mona/Amber and while they were only mandatory for the China servers in gameplay, they did retroactively make all instances of those characters wear the alternate outfits instead of the original ones in pre-existing quests/cutscenes (and any future appearances) for global servers.
Which in and of itself isn't a big deal I suppose, but the fact that they're having to compromises on some things for other servers too just because of CCP is not good for future content because who knows what totally normal plans might have to get scrapped or modified because of it. Hopefully they can keep the censorship on China servers entirely contained there going forward with this move.

See, mihoyo sounds like some made up word, but bringing attention to the "hoyo" part sounds like a joke name in Spanish because that word means hole.
Just looked up the term holeverse online to see if I was alone on this and it gave me some discord screencaps of anal jokes.

I mean, mihoyo is literally worse. It means "my hole" in Spanish. It has been the butt of the joke (Get it? :D) for years now lol
Hoyoverse is an (slight) improvement over that, I think!
Well, with mihoyo I actually pronounce the h as I always recognise and read it as an asian name. It'd need to be separated for me to read it as "mi oyo".
But hoyoverse is straight to the point. As soon as I see the word I have already pronounced it wrong.
I need to make an effort to remember that you're supposed to pronounce that h, as to me to identify that as a foreign word it'd need to be written as "Hojo", like the japanese name. It's as if you wanted me to read Hola as Jola. I just can't.
But now that I think about it even the correct pronounciation can be taken as a joke because "Joio" sounds a bit too much like "Jodido" in southern Spain.

Yeah, I think that was the reason mentioned on some news when another name different from Mihoyo started appearing in some regions at the bottom of the icons of their games.
lol I am a Spanish native speaker and never realized that lol hahahaha
What is this obsession with Metaverse? Also if meta and verse mean more censorship, they better stay out there.

It's funny how much of this metaverse stuff just sounds like a bad parody of the dot com bubble, like sit com bad. I just imagine Jen telling Moss and Roy...
"Oh we're changing our name to Renholmverse now, moving into the metaverse"
"the what verse?"
"the metaverse, it's, you know, the metaverse"
"you have no idea what it is do you?"
"of course I do, it's the metaverse!"
"then what is it then?"
"okay I have no idea what it is. But I don't have to know what it is, because no one knows what it is."
The IT department gets called to do a talk on the metaverse for shareholders, hilarity ensues as they speak utter nonsense and the shareholders cheer and throw money at them
