When Mihoyo unveiled Genshin Impact for PS4, many noted the game was inspired by BOTW.

Some fans of BOTW are upset that Sony is promoting this game because of the similarities + they think it’s shameless of Sony.

Here is the trailer for the game:

There are strong similarities to BOTW for sure, but considering BOTW borrowed many of it's elements from games that came before it I really don't see the issue.

If anything Sony already copied Breath of The Wild with Horizon Zero Dawn.

Nice joke but remember this is the internet and it will fly over people's heads.
