Animal Crossing: New Horizons players were excited to dive into the game’s latest update, but fans were surprised to discover a change they hadn’t expected. In the game, players can make some extra Bells by depositing money with the Bank of Nook. Unfortunately, it appears that the miserly tanooki has dropped interest rates, meaning that players will now accumulate fewer Bells by making deposits. It would seem that Nintendo did so in order to prevent players from making big money by “time travelling” in the game. Given how much time players spend trying to pay off their homes and build upgrades to the island, many aren’t pleased with the change.

Of course, players that don’t time travel feel like they’re being punished.
Cutting the bank interest rate in Animal Crossing is a pointless measure that won't do what it's intended to do and will disproportionately punish players who don't time travel, thereby defeating the purpose anywayโ Ace, Jenova's Witness (@AceOfPlaces) April 23, 2020
To be fair, it is a bit surreal to see gamers upset about a fake interest rate.
why are reduced interest rate and animal crossing in the same sentenceโ สฮแดแด โณ (@141x80) April 23, 2020
Perspective.
On the one hand, Animal Crossing nerfing the interest rate sucks.
But on the other hand, the old 6.1% per year rate was tons better than you get in real life.โ sarah (@sarahlicity) April 23, 2020
See? Tom Nook’s not so bad.
First bank in thirty years that apologized for lowering their interest rate to me. #AnimalCrossing #ACNH #NintendoSwitch pic.twitter.com/H8WIYGS6h9โ Sonny Oliveira (@NeverUnplaying) April 23, 2020
