Starting with Genshin Impact, the whole world is going crazy for it.

For example, speculations like, "Is my boss an idiot?"

[God-level Game Creation System]

[Welcome, host: Zhou Tiankuo!]

Please select the game you wish to search for.

Zhou Tiankuo clicked the bottom option.

Game Name: Pokémon GO

[Current release duration: 14 hours]

[Day 1 downloads: 134526]

[Game Rating: 4.8]

Zhou Tiankuo frowned.

Within half a day of its release, it had been downloaded 130,000 times.

This number is still a long way from his expectations.

He felt that the game needed at least 50 players on its first day to be considered a success.

After all, he had already released several games, and they had performed quite well.

Tiankuo Studio has already made a name for itself.

In all the live streams before the experience center opened, he said that he would be playing a brand new game and hoped that everyone would support him.

Logically speaking, sufficient exposure has already been achieved in the early stages.

The trailers and promotions were all meticulously prepared.

The result was still the same, and Zhou Tiankuo was having a headache!

As expected, without the support of nostalgia for the anime, the game performed poorly on the first day.

Although he had anticipated this result, Zhou Tiankuo hadn't expected such a poor performance...

They don't even have 20.

"But there's nothing I can do... and the first day is probably the limit for downloads. Unless something major happens, downloads will continue to be low..."

He leaned back in his chair and muttered to himself.

With a score of less than 20, there's no way to get the system's reward.

Zhou Tiankuo stood up and walked to the window, looking down at the surroundings of the experience center.

The players outside continued to wander around, oblivious to their troubles, searching for Easter eggs around the experience center.

One of the players seemed to have found something and jumped up excitedly, attracting other players to watch.

Zhou Tiankuo shook his head.

I thought the performance of these players in the experience center meant that the game was going to be a hit, but I didn't expect that the game's popularity was only limited to the vicinity of the experience center.

This is probably related to the groundwork laid in the early stages.

Because of the initial buzz, the experience center offered priority access to the game consoles and surprise rewards near the center.

Perhaps these two points alone have already deterred players from many other cities.

Zhou Tiankuo thought for a moment and then opened Weibo.

Search for the game Pokémon GO.

Look, there are still Weibo posts with this keyword.

The good ones mostly talk about how much fun they had after playing Pokémon GO.

Take a screenshot of the Pokémon you caught and post it to show off.

Some people have also created a topic for players of this game to exchange and discuss.

Zhou Tiankuo focused on reading the comments and criticisms.

Are all the players near the experience center privileged? Does someone like me, living in a remote mountain area, not deserve to play Pokémon GO?

[It seems that Tiankuo Studio released a new game called Pokémon GO. I'm quite looking forward to it based on what I've seen, but it's really discouraging... I can't get so many of the Easter eggs.]

Are there no competing studios that can make similar games? I really want to play Pokémon GO, but I really can't stand Tiankuo Studio.

[Same feeling. This has completely destroyed any goodwill I had towards them. The fact that they offered priority access to the experience center was already disgusting.]

Zhou Tiankuo's brows furrowed even more.

He could understand some people's comments, because players in other cities had not yet been able to experience the unique Easter eggs in those cities.

Therefore, they felt that playing this game was fundamentally different from playing it in the experience center.

However, Zhou Tiankuo was completely baffled by the criticism of playing in advance at the experience center.

Zhou Tiankuo said angrily, "The point of an experience center is precisely this. Other studios' experience centers are all the same, so why are you criticizing me the only one?"

Other companies also put their new games in the experience center first.

Honestly, Zhou Tiankuo felt he had been quite fair.

He originally planned to release Pokémon a month after its announcement, but considering the issue of popularity and player feedback, he decided to release it a week later.

In other words, the schedule was moved up.

Furthermore, they will transform the experience center into an internet cafe, and the next game will be launched simultaneously with the internet cafe, rather than being exclusively available at the experience center first...

This means that the experience center is already risking losing popularity and customers.

Even after all this, he still got scolded. Zhou Tiankuo wanted to say, "I really thank you all."

Next, he searched for the term "Tiankuo Studio".

Good grief, I've seen even more negative reviews.

Is Tiankuo Studio going to go under this time? There's no way to defend the fact that they've alienated players.

[This trend of launching games first in the experience center is truly disgusting.]

[Didn't he say he wanted to collaborate with VR manufacturers? The game isn't even finished yet, and he's already thinking about making money? Disgusting.]

When Zhou Tiankuo saw that someone had actually started talking about Genshin Impact, he felt like vomiting blood.

He looked at the update document he had written, which contained thousands of words, and was immediately disheartened!

I just said yesterday that I'm not actually that sensitive, but today I'm disgusted by these negative reviews.

Scrolling down, Zhou Tiankuo saw a comment.

[While I don't particularly like Tiankuo Studio either, at least be fair when you're criticizing them. Don't just blindly attack them. They've already gone live to ask for player feedback, and this time they said they'd consider player opinions before collaborating again. I think that shows considerable respect for the players.]

Zhou Tiankuo was almost in tears.

Finally, someone has come out and told the truth!

After reading these comments from players for a while, Zhou Tiankuo took a deep breath.

The unsatisfactory data and the hacking incident combined to make Zhou Tiankuo somewhat frustrated.

Just then, he suddenly heard a cheer coming from downstairs.

Looking out the window, he saw a group of players running towards one place.

That's a nearby park.

They even spontaneously formed a circle, which grew larger and larger, leaving a round empty space in the middle.

“This is…” Zhou Tiankuo was somewhat confused.

But then he remembered something and hurriedly took out his game console from his desk and opened the Pokémon GO game.

Zhou Tiankuo came out holding a game console and stood not far away.

A huge crowd had gathered, and in the middle of it was a giant Pokémon!

Chapter 132 So many people are outsmarting thin air

Zhou Tiankuo frowned and carried the game console all the way to the park.

He recognized the Pokémon from a distance.

This giant Pokémon is named Giratina, also known as Ghost Dragon.

This is a Pokémon that appeared in the fourth generation.

From afar, Zhou Tiankuo could see Giratina standing there majestically, exuding an unparalleled kingly aura.

"My God, this is simply divine intervention..."

Zhou Tiankuo couldn't help but murmur.

He was worried because Pokémon GO wasn't generating any new buzz, and with so many people criticizing it online, it probably wouldn't make much of a splash.

To my surprise, such a huge ghost dragon randomly appeared in the park tonight!

Zhou Tiankuo couldn't help but walk closer, holding the game console.

Actually, Zhou Tiankuo didn't know much about the Pokémon that came out later, but he could recognize Mewtwo, which everyone was familiar with.

But Giratina is a special case.

His appearance has exceeded everyone's perception of Pokémon as "cute and fun," and has a terrifying and intimidating quality.

This Giratina has a pair of black wings with red accents on the lower branches of the wings.

His body also features black and red stripes in the middle, while the rest of his body is interwoven with silver and gold.

Giratina's head shape is rather strange, being a horizontal diamond shape, while his eyes are small golden dots.

As Zhou Tiankuo approached, he could hear the gasps of amazement erupting from the crowd.

"Holy crap, what is this? Does anyone know what it is in the Pokédex?!"

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap... playing this game is definitely worth it."

"Oh, how come you can all see this? I thought this was just for me!"
