This tweet essentially seems like a final warning from the studio, as the leaks continue to give away secrets. The developers want to create an environment that welcomes new players. These leaks put its plans of releasing upcoming characters, events, and new features at risk. However, this news has not sat well with some fans on Twitter at all.
Twitter reacts to miHoYo’s stern warning against leaks
A certain portion of the community is unhappy with miHoYo’s stance against leakers. The fans deemed this as unfriendly, as it will prevent them to plan out their pulls for upcoming character banners. The absence of these leaks would certainly put the players at a disadvantage, as they won’t be able to devise crucial strategies for banner wishes. This is especially true of free-to-play players.
Translation: "We want to keep players in the dark so they can't plan out which characters they want to save and pull for. When a character they like comes out, they'll be forced to spend. Please help us maintain this exploitative strategy."

This fan complained about minimal dev & community interaction with Genshin Impact developers. He vented his frustration with a tweet in the thread and compared Genshin Impact with other gacha titles.

There are some fans who disagreed with the notion of the community. However, there were some who wholeheartedly agreed with the gaming studio.
One fan even provided an adequate answer, and he also stated a good example of things miHoYo has been doing right all along.

That's literally not it at all.
Leaks ruin hype and spoil their plans.
They spend a lot of time and effort hyping up the new updates on their videos when they release, and when leaks get sent out that ruins that hype, and it's not fair to them.

Who is on the right side of things? That is not up for debate at all, as the title and its information are miHoYo’s intellectual property. However, leaks have certainly helped the community in many aspects, so it is a tricky situation to resolve.
