My game, you have no right to award

Chapter 93 Micro-Word Platform
"Brother Kuang, what should we do?"

Yang Ji looked very anxious, and he knew how much trouble he had gotten into.

Zhou Kuang's brain was working frantically, thinking about how to calm the situation.

However, I haven't come up with any particularly good solution yet.

After all, some things cannot be ended just because you want them to. Now that the fire has been lit, no one can say for sure at what point it will stop.

Maybe the fire can only be stopped after all the wooden buildings are burned down.

"Don't talk to anyone outside these days. I'll find a solution."

Zhou Kuang walked up to him and patted his shoulder, signaling him not to worry.

But this obviously did not comfort him.

Feng Qi sat next to him and patted his legs to comfort him.

……

……

……

Sure enough, with the Star Travel News intentionally fueling the flames, this matter quickly spread among the players.

Whether it is the war of words between "Nether Mountain and Sea" and "Dragonborn: Eternal Fire" or the wild words of the art director of "Nether Mountain and Sea", they are all catalysts that accelerate the discussion among players.

Soon someone posted a very controversial video on Bilibili.

"The art director of Netherworld Mountain and Sea said that players are all amateurs and don't know shit? I think you are the one who really knows nothing!"

In this video with an extremely eye-catching title, up-ism angrily criticized Yang Ji and "Netherworld Mountains and Seas", and even dug up Yang Ji's previous work experience.

"How dare this Yang Ji call us amateurs? That we don't know anything?"

"Putting aside other things, players come from all walks of life. How do you know we don't understand?"

"Maybe there's a big shot out there with better artistic taste than you."

"With this arrogant attitude, you still expect us to pay for your games!"

"I bother!"

"Don't even think about it!"

"If you don't like something that the people like, you're going to criticize it. Who do you think you are?"

"Isn't it because Dragonborn: Eternal Fire is better and faster than yours, so you're jealous of them because they're blocking your path to wealth?!"

"So I'm calling on all domestic players not to buy the game 'Netherworld Mountain and Sea' and not to give money to these rubbish developers who look down on us!"

"They've clearly told you they look down on you. If we still offer you money, we'd be ungrateful."

"That's a purebred bitch!"

"And there's something even more interesting. I randomly searched online for the name of this art director named Yang Ji."

"Guess what I found?"

"This Yang Ji was actually the lead artist for Antarctic Interactive Entertainment's Journey to the West, so I looked into that game as well."

"What's displayed on your screen right now is the game."

"Yeah, it's just a rubbish pay-to-win game."

"How dare you, Yang Ji, say that we are amateurs and have no aesthetic taste?"

"If you were really as noble as you say you are, you wouldn't make such a rubbish game! How dare you say such things about us players!"

"What's even more ridiculous is that I discovered that a few years ago, this game actually laid off most of the production team because it was losing money."

"Hahahaha!"

"A pay-to-win game can actually lose money!"

"Can you believe it?"

"You, Yang Ji, are so awesome!"

"It's a project killer, causing trouble wherever it goes!"

"It's such bad luck to be your colleague!"

"Your boss is probably crying his eyes out right now, regretting hiring someone like you."

As expected, both the barrage and comments were almost the same as this up's opinion, constantly cursing Yang Ji, Kuangshi Games, and "Youming Shanhai".

"People like Yang Ji don't deserve to be artists! Game developers who don't respect consumers don't deserve to work!"

"Haha, they can't make a good game themselves, and they put the blame on the players. I was really blind to pay attention to the game Youming Shanhai. I'm going to unfollow it now."

"To be honest, the Dragonborn is indeed better than the Netherworld Mountain and Sea. There's nothing we can do about this guy getting angry."

"I'm dying of laughter. Yang Ji is actually the main character in Journey to the West. I used to play that game. The gameplay was okay, but the pressure of krypton was too tight, so I quit the game."

"As an artist working in the gaming industry, I believe the most fundamental professionalism is to respect the views of ordinary gamers. Although their aesthetic perspectives may not necessarily be professional, our products must be oriented towards the general player group."

"The domestic gaming industry is completely rotten. It's full of people who only care about making money and not about improving their games."

"Get lost, buying this game is ruining my Steam inventory"

"Pay attention to the first real domestic 3A game "Dragonborn: Eternal Fire" Thank you meow"

"Okay, now I can save the money to buy Nether Mountain and Sea, and buy a copy of Dragonborn." However, not all players are carried away by the emotional flow in the video, but choose to wait and see. However, not only are there very few such people, but their rational comments will also be besieged by other angry players in this comment area.

After all, in people's eyes, there is no such thing as "neutrality".

As long as you are not on our side, no matter how beautiful your words are, even if you swear to remain neutral, it will be of no use.

You want to be a reasonable person? Fight!

Anyone who showed up would be beaten, and soon no one dared to speak for "The Netherworld Mountains and Seas" anymore.

As the video was viewed more and more times and became popular, more and more people knew about it, and the public pressure on Megvii Games became greater and greater.

Many players who have been looking forward to "Nether Mountain and Sea" have also begun to hesitate, wondering whether they should stand on the side of the people and kill the entire game with one blow.

We should let this matter go. After all, Yang Ji is only the art director of "Youming Shanhai", and a game is the joint efforts of many employees.

Are we going to ignore the work of other innocent game workers and hurt them as well just to boycott him?
What's more, no matter what, "Youming Shanhai" is the first domestically produced 3A game announced for development in China.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first domestically produced 3A game.

Therefore, many players still want to give it another chance, at least not let it die completely, otherwise it would be too embarrassing to tell others about it.

In the future, when a foreign game developer asks what China's first 3A game is, they can only answer like this:

"Oh, you're asking about China's first 3A game!"

"Because their art director spoke rudely, none of our Chinese players bought the game, so they were doomed in the end!"

"Hahahaha, isn't it cool!"

Foreign game developers could only listen to their answers in surprise, not knowing how to respond.

Despite the increasingly heated discussions on social media and the rising popularity, Megvii Games, the production company of "Netherworld Mountains and Seas", has not responded.

Players went to the comment section under their account to flood the screen with comments, but they just pretended not to see it. They neither used the selected comments function to restrict the comments nor posted a video to apologize, which made many fans who really care about them confused and disappointed.

"Why don't you just ask him to come out and apologize? At worst, just kick him out! I don't believe that China is so big that you can't find a second art director!"

"Must the entire game be buried with Yang Ji?"

"Still playing dead, still playing dead"

"It's a tacit agreement. Maybe the people in their company also agree with Yang Ji's words. After all, if we are not from the same family, we will not enter the same door."

"In this situation, why don't you come out and put out the fire?"

Unfortunately, to their disappointment, at least for now, the "firefighters" from Kuangshi Games have no intention of coming to put out the fire.

As the incident unfolded, it can be said that the biggest beneficiaries were "Dragonborn: Eternal Fire", which had never said a word in this matter, and Phoenix Soul Infinite Game Company, which developed this game.

Countless players who felt betrayed by Nether Mountain and Sea flocked to the comment section of the "Dragonborn: Eternal Fire" account to express their support for the game.

On the other hand, Zhou Kuang was not doing nothing. He was busy doing another thing at the moment.

A very important thing.

The counterattack will soon begin.

……

……

……

"Please take a seat."

A plump woman with a warm smile on her plump cheeks.

A man in a well-tailored dark suit sat across from her.

He tightened his tie, his expression calm, with a faint smile on his face, but more of it was calmness and restraint.

"Mr. Wang, we watched the demo of Dragonborn: Eternal Fire. The graphics are truly stunning."

Wang Linghui's face was full of pride as she sat opposite the man and boasted.

"Our gameplay trailer has received over 10 million views on the Weiyan platform."

"Furthermore, the topic #PhoenixSoulInfiniteSimulationDemo# also topped the trending search list on the entire Weiyan platform. The cumulative number of related topic reads exceeded 100 million, and the number of discussions exceeded one million!"

"The topic has been forwarded over 200,000 times!"

"This shows that our game has been recognized by players across the country."

"Such market appeal and response are enough to demonstrate the potential and value of our products!"

"I hope Yixing can recognize our market value."

Deng Zhipeng from Yixing Games nodded. They certainly recognized the value of Fenghun Unlimited Games Company, but over-recognition would cause their acquisition costs to increase exponentially, so he naturally could not show it at this time.

“It’s really impressive.”

"We are all aware of Fenghun Games' technical strength and market popularity."

Deng Zhipeng then continued, "But you still don't have any successful game cases."

"This is not a problem!"

Wang Linghui waved her hand.

“Once Dragonborn: The Eternal Fire comes out, we’ll have it.”
