I've played Genshin almost since the start (took a break for a while) and it's had daily tasks the whole time. You earn gems and other in-game rewards every day for it. There's also an additional web-based daily checkin as well.
The battle pass removed its daily check-in IIRC.
I'm not sure what you mean. The in-game reward path still has a daily "check in" task for points. And the daily "do 4 tasks" thing is in there, though they've opened it up a lot, which I really appreciate. (You can now do quests, open chests, or anything that costs energy to complete them, as well as the standard 4 mini-quests.) And the web checkin is still daily, with only 3 days that you can reclaim by visiting certain pages.
It looks like the game that changed its dailies was Star Rail, not Genshin Impact. Which makes sense: I remember seeing the change in-game but I haven't played Genshin since around the time of that event in Enk... whatever the underground area is called.
I'm trying to find good articles about it but internet search is abysmal these days, especially for news outside the anglosphere. I did find a forum thread about the Star Rail change as well as a Reddit comment translating and explaining the proposed law though.
The TL;DR of it all seems to be that some time around December 2023, new restrictions were proposed affecting gacha games to curb addicting behavior. The news caused stock prices for affected Chinese companies to plummet, and the person who proposed the law was quickly removed from his position and the proposal dropped.
Ah, yeah, I think I remember that. It was pretty obvious it would be brutal for a lot of gamedev companies there, and I wasn't surprised at all that it didn't end up going through.
