Infinity Nikki's 1.5 Update Sparks Player Backlash: Aggressive Monetization, Broken Gameplay
2025-05-12
Infinity Nikki's 1.5 update has sparked significant player backlash. While introducing multiplayer and customization options, the update also brought numerous bugs, instability, and baffling changes to the story and monetization. Players launched a "girlcott," refusing to play and spend money, flooding Steam with negative reviews. Infold Games' response failed to appease players, who cite increased costs for complete outfits, a new paid currency pushing heavier monetization, and a major story alteration as reasons for their anger. The incident highlights Infold Games' broken trust with its player base and missteps in its in-app purchase design.
