My game, you have no right to award

Chapter 100 Snake-hearted
This up-host can be said to have a very clear understanding of the situation.

As much as players liked "Netherworld Mountains and Seas" at the beginning, they hated the production team after being "betrayed".

This is also the reason why the original video of the up master became so popular.

Because he actually became an internet mouthpiece for many players, saying things that they dared not say or were too lazy to say.

However, when the truth was revealed, the players discovered that they were the ones who were made fools of.

With so many reversals, one can imagine how angry and humiliated they were.

However, players will not reflect on their own problems, so they will definitely vent their anger on others.

The up-host who previously served as a voice substitute for the players has become a very good choice.

After all, a mouth will never betray its owner, but mouth replacements do not grow on the players' bodies.

Therefore they can shift the blame onto others without any burden.

They pointed fingers and criticized the up master, accusing him from a moral high ground.

Speak! Why are you saying this for us? Do you think we think the same?

It seems like...

but!

Even so, you are not qualified to do so!

It's simply too bad!
Therefore, when public opinion backfired, the up-host immediately chose to slide.

Although this still caused him to lose a lot of fans, his sincerity still retained a lot of fans.

"It's not your fault, it's just that the enemy is too cunning"

"Who knows? Not a single word the reporter said is true."

"Journalism Flash Moment"

"It's good enough that they apologized. I believe Yang Ji and the production team of "Netherworld Mountain and Sea" will not blame the players who like their game."

"It's ok if it wasn't intentional. I never believed it from the beginning."

On the other hand, after the comment section of Xingyou News was flooded with comments and after seeing Zhou Kuang’s firm statement in the clarification video that he would sue them, everyone panicked!

They spent a whole day in meetings before finally making a decision.

1. We hereby issue a public apology to Yang Ji, the entire Netherworld Mountain and Sea production team, and Kuangshi Games.

2. Comprehensively rectify the internal news review mechanism to ensure that such false news does not appear again.

3. Expel Hu Ji, the former reporter of Star Travel News, and reserve the right to pursue further legal action.

4. Financially compensate for the losses of Megvii Games.

These measures are aimed at preventing Kuangshi Games from pursuing the responsibility of Star Game News, especially from bringing the matter to court.

After all, if Zhou Kuang really pursued the matter, with the current public opinion advantage of Kuangshi Games and the solid chain of evidence, even if Xingyou News did not die, it would be badly hurt.

The senior management of Star Game News used their connections to find people from Antarctic Interactive Entertainment to negotiate, and personally went to Kuangshi Games to apologize to Zhou Kuang and make compensation.

No one knows what was discussed specifically, but the price must have been high.

Some people have heard some rumors that these compensations are related to the publicity channels of Star Travel News.

All people know is that Kuangshi Games never mentioned the Star Travel News incident again, and the matter was left unresolved.

However, this does not mean that Hu Ji is fine.

Star Travel News and Kuangshi Games both sued him in court.

Xingyou News sued Hu Ji for violating the terms of the contract and damaging the newspaper's reputation.

Kuangshi Games was even more ruthless, suing Hu Ji in court for infringement of reputation rights, defamation and insult, and was determined not to give up until the other party was put in jail.

Hu Ji was first fired these days, and his reputation in the domestic gaming media circle was completely ruined. Finally, he was sued by two major companies.

The series of major changes have almost driven him crazy. He hides at home and talks to himself every day, leaving his family helpless and no amount of persuasion is of any use.

When someone knocked on the door or made a noise, he would curl up in fear and beg for mercy.

He also had trouble sleeping and would wake up from nightmares almost every half hour.

In the end, Hu Ji’s wife had no choice but to sleep in a separate bed from him in another room. Otherwise, if he kept disturbing her sleep, how would she go to work the next day?

Yes, Hu Ji still has children to support, and he has lost his job and stable source of income, and may lose a large sum of money due to the lawsuit.

So his wife had no choice but to prepare for a rainy day and start saving money.

Although Hu Ji took a lot of money from Fenghun, he spent it quickly. Add to that the compensation he might have to pay due to lawsuits later, and his savings would never be enough no matter how he calculated it.

Not to mention car loans, mortgages, and children all require a steady cash flow, not a lump sum of money. After Hu Ji lost his job, all this pressure fell on his wife's shoulders.

However, accidents always happen faster than planned.

One day, there was another knock on the door.

The wife looked inside the house and saw that her husband Hu Ji had already curled up on the sofa with his head in his arms, as if he was stressed out by the knock on the door. She sighed and went to open the door.

When she opened the door, two men in police uniforms appeared before her.

Seeing the two people, she was very panicked.

She knew it had something to do with her husband, but she didn't know how it would affect her life and the lives of her children.

"Hello, we are here to look for Hu Ji."

"What do you want to do with him?" she asked with all her strength.

"We need him to cooperate with the investigation," a police officer replied bluntly.

She looked pale and didn't know what to do. She could only watch the police walk in.

When Hu Ji saw the police, he immediately ran out and hid in the bedroom.

The two policemen looked at each other and followed him in.

"Hello Hu Ji, we need you to go to the police station with us."

"What do you want to do?!"

Hu Ji shouted excitedly while holding the pillow, and kept throwing things on the bed to the ground.

"Please cooperate."

Although Hu Ji was not very cooperative, the police still found a way to take him away.

His wife and children were left staring at each other in tears.

This time, she was completely desperate.

No matter how hard you try, this home will soon no longer be a home.

If you act too radically, you will definitely not be able to leave the police station.

He has done so many bad things.

And he brought all this upon himself.

The wife looked at the peaceful, cute and tender little face of the sleeping child in front of her and made a secret decision in her heart.

She put the baby in the stroller, found the suitcase, started packing, and found a notepad and ballpoint pen.

……

……

……

After nearly ten hours, it was dark and Hu Ji returned home alone.

The police asked him a lot of questions about Fenghun Wuxian, and he was released after answering truthfully.

Hu Ji had originally thought he was doomed and would definitely be arrested by the police, but he discovered that they had only contacted him to get him to cooperate with the investigation, which was focused on Fenghun Unlimited Games, not him. As a result, Hu Ji's mental state has improved somewhat.

At this time, the house was pitch black and there was no sound.

"daughter in law?"

He turned on the light in the dark, but found that no one was home.

Hu Ji walked to the dining table and found a piece of paper on the table, pressed under a black ballpoint pen.

He picked up the paper, only to find it was a hastily written letter.

【Brother Ji.】

[By the time you see this letter, I have already left with my child.]

I think our marriage is over.

【These days are a nightmare for me.】

You were fired from the company and sued. The pressure at home is like a mountain, weighing me down.

[Every day, seeing you fussing and frightened, besides feeling heartbroken, I also feel hopeless about our future life.]

[Car loans, mortgages, and the money for the baby's milk powder—these should have been our shared responsibilities.]

【Now I have to bear all the burdens by myself.】

I thought I could do it.

【I can not do it. 】

【sorry. 】

The police took you away today. I wonder if a long time will have passed by the time you see this letter again.

"I know deep down that I don't want my children to live in fear in the future."

【This is not your fault, nor is it my fault. 】

【But life must go on.】

【And I want my children to live in a stable future.】

【Bye now.】

After Hu Ji finished reading the letter, his hands kept shaking and he finally tore the letter to pieces.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!!"

With a pain in his left chest, he fell to the ground and convulsed.

……

……

……

Just about a week after the production team of Netherworld Mountain and Sea released a clarification video, shocking news suddenly broke out online.

Almost all the senior executives of Phoenix Soul Infinite Games, the production company of "Dragonborn: Eternal Fire", were arrested, while the other employees who were not arrested had already fled in all directions.

The specific reason is not known, but we know that it is not an ordinary civil incident.

More serious than civil.

Just this point has left readers with a huge space for imagination.

All the equipment in Fenghun Unlimited's office was also moved out.

According to former Fenghun Unlimited employees who contacted the media privately, the company has not paid salaries for a long time, and only senior management are receiving salaries, bonuses and dividends normally.

So as soon as these senior executives were arrested, the employees seemed to have agreed beforehand and took out valuables such as computers.

After all, these senior executives probably won’t be able to get out in the short term, so naturally no one will investigate who these assets end up in.

Overnight, the Phoenix Soul Infinite was scattered, and the people left the building.

The other information the media obtained from the whistleblower was even more jaw-dropping.

It turns out that there is no such game as "Dragonborn: Eternal Fire" at all. All the actual gameplay demonstrations in the trailers were made using CG animations, and other content was also temporarily built for the game trailer.

This means that Phoenix Soul Infinity doesn't even have a game framework, let alone a playable demo or map.

Crucially, they also lacked the ability to produce CG animation at this level.

So they paid a huge amount of money and outsourced the CG animation to a well-known foreign CG animation company. The other party had worked with many foreign 3A game manufacturers, but this was probably the first time in their lives that they received such a strange work commission.

They were asked to make a CG to simulate the actual gameplay demo in the game trailer.

But they don't care, after all, the other side gives too much.

And when they found out it was a Chinese gaming company, they took it even less seriously.

After all, in their impression, China only plagiarizes and makes crappy games, so it is not surprising that they can raise such a demand.

Even if this matter were known to the Western media, the criticism they would receive would be far less than the criticism they would receive if they made the same fake CG for a Western game company.

After all, in the eyes of the entire Western world, only a few developed Western countries are considered civilized, and all other places are barbaric lands.

On the surface they often talk about anti-discrimination, but what they are actually referring to are ethnic minorities of the same nationality.

The prerequisite is the same nationality.

Americans often object to discrimination against blacks, but they are not referring to black Africans, but to African Americans.

This is also why the game trailer of "Dragonborn: Eternal Fire" is full of Western elements.

Because CG animation was originally produced by foreign companies, even the name "Dragonborn: Eternal Fire" is an internal code name used by the CG animation company when producing it.

As a result, when the other party sent it, they forgot to remove the internal code and sent it with the name.

What’s even more coincidental is that when the top management of Phoenix Soul Infinity saw "Dragonborn: Eternal Fire", they thought the name was good and kept it.

The more exciting ones are yet to come.

The employees of Fenghun Unlimited actually said that they had seen the reporter Hu Ji who was fired by Star Travel News in Fenghun Unlimited's company.

The other party once walked into the conference room and office, chatting and laughing with the senior executives of Fenghun Unlimited.

And this kind of thing happened more than once. They had seen Hu Ji enter the company openly at least a dozen times.

Although the employee did not continue speaking, anyone with a bit of common sense would have understood his hint.

The sudden popularity of "Dragonborn: The Eternal Fire" and the indiscriminate attacks on "Netherworld" happened at the same time, which is definitely not a coincidence!
As expected, after this report was released, it once again set off the domestic Internet, especially the domestic gaming circle.

It's even more popular than the last time Megvii Games released a clarification video.

Because Fenghun Wuxian's conspiracy is simply insane!

They did not hesitate to deceive the entire network and suppress the first 3A stand-alone game in the country, just to increase the popularity of the game "Dragonborn: Eternal Flame".

Then, taking advantage of this trend, they drove up the company's value and eventually sold it at a high price.

But what about the trust they destroyed? What about the players’ trust in domestic 3A stand-alone game projects?

There is also a negative impact on "The Netherworld Mountains and Seas"!
The executives of this gaming company are simply beasts in human form.

I don't care about the domestic gaming industry at all.

There is no regret at all for destroying the things that the business owners have accumulated with great difficulty.

The players' anger was ignited.

But unlike before, this time they couldn't find a channel to vent their anger.

Because all those who have done wrong are now in jail.
