I’m a bit confused by the wording. First the title only lists the entity indirectly, then the lead text uses the official name of the Publisher and calls it the Developer… I think in the end the action does actually target Cognosphere, better known as HoYoverse. Not MiHoYo.
The complaint is focused only on Genshin, but the proposed order does not seem to be limited to Genshin, instead it targets HoYoverse’s behaviour in general.
So it seems to me the same rules for selling lootboxes and disclosing chances and offering direct sale without intermediary currency would apply to Zenless Zone Zero and Honkai as well.
