Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

Sixteen years later, Xinghuo rose to prominence.

This has led Chinese gamers, and even the entire gaming industry, to believe that Chinese games are currently the top trend, coupled with the rise in national confidence in recent years.

Korean games? They're just so-so.

On the other hand, Kim Dae-il's thinking is still stuck a few years in the past, when Korean games were considered to have a "dominant position" in China.

That's not an exaggeration at all.

If you look at the entire history of Chinese games, basically half of them are Korean games.

The two sides have huge differences in their understanding.

After Kim Dae-il gave several interviews.

I will no longer accept it.

In his view, the questions asked by the media were all incredibly stupid.

But these were the few interviews he did.

However, it caused a huge uproar on the internet.

"I believe that Xinghuo's success is a combination of luck and ability."

"In the MMORPG field, globally, it is still concentrated in South Korea."

"We don't need to compare ourselves with Spark. The MMORPG market in South Korea is already quite competitive. Only games that can break through in South Korea are good games."

"Spark is a master in the ACG (Anime, Comics, and Games) field, just like we are in MMORPGs. We are not the same type of company."

"Can Spark make a good MMORPG? I think it's almost impossible, like I just said, they're not good at it."

“Black Sands has earned $10 billion globally, a figure that speaks volumes about its quality.”

"Spark can make mobile games that earn over a billion dollars, both on PC and mobile, but it may not be able to make MMORPGs that earn a billion dollars."

"Massively multiplayer online games are something that needs time to develop and mature."

"Spark won't work."

Kim Dae-il did not feel that there was anything wrong with his remarks.

That's what he thinks.

But that final line, "A spark won't do,"...

It can be said that this has sparked intense discussion throughout the entire Chinese gaming community.

For the media, a group that never tires of watching a spectacle.

"Spark won't work."

This explosive statement is like a piece of bloody meat thrown into a shark tank.

Almost instantly.

"Spark is no good! Kim Dae-il asserted that Spark does not have the capability to create a large-scale MMORPG."

"The producers of Black Sands believe that Spark is not good enough."

Is Spark's success simply a matter of luck? How does the Korean gaming industry view Spark's success?

A whole bunch of news.

It gushed out.

Public opinion immediately began to polarize.

At this time, Xinghuo was undoubtedly a top-tier game in China, recognized by Chinese gamers.

At least that's how it is to the outside world.

Everyone agrees that Xinghuo is the most successful company in the field of Chinese games going global.

just now.

Someone actually publicly said that Xinghuo is no good!?

Spark's fans were naturally furious.

But on the other side.

Many Chinese netizens are also fans of the combo-style approach of "How can this country be like this? Questions about the body, cold and trembling, I am lost in thought."

The public outcry has just begun.

Soon, players pointed out that these Chinese media outlets were taking things out of context.

They weren't saying "Spark is no good," but rather that "Spark" isn't good in the MMORPG genre.

How can these be lumped together?

Spark may not have made any significant contributions to MMORPGs, but can't people even point that out?

Subsequently.

Tencent's public relations department quickly noticed this detail.

They also began to strengthen public relations.

Li Weixi believes this is a good thing, not a bad thing.

So the next day.

They invited Kim Dae-il again.

A brief "apology" statement was issued.

"I did not mean to disrespect Xinghuo."

"I'm just expressing Black Desert's accumulation in MMORPGs. It took us more than ten years to polish a good MMORPG."

"If Xinghuo launches MMOPRG in the future, everyone can compare it for themselves."

Following this round of speeches.

Public opinion, guided by the penguin, has once again reversed course.

After all, Spark did not actually release an MMORPG, so Spark's fans had no grounds for retaliation.

It's like.

No matter how well you manufacture or how well your sedans sell, there are no SUVs.

Then a manufacturer that specializes in making SUVs can naturally say that your SUVs are no good.

Penguins went there specifically for this purpose.

Therefore, Kim Dae-il's arrogant remarks were actually used by Tencent as a kind of "weapon" in its publicity campaign.

The phrase "Spark is not working" has gradually been turned into a meme by Tencent's online trolls.

similar.

"For MMORPGs, Spark may not work, but Tencent will."

Such memes are everywhere.

Even though many players complain, Tencent is just an agent.

but no matter.

After all this trouble...

The popularity of the games "Black Desert" and "Ark of Destiny" has skyrocketed.

In 19.

The South Korean online gaming industry has not yet completely declined.

past life.

If "Ark of Destiny" could still attract millions of concurrent players in China when it launched in 23, then it would be even more popular in 19.

Furthermore, Black Desert's graphics are still competitive even by today's standards.

These two games, coupled with being free to play and the influx of traffic from Tencent, have become increasingly popular.

The nationwide public outcry triggered by Kim Dae-il's unexpected actions further amplified the popularity of these two games.

The process was somewhat tortuous.

But in the end.

Penguins, this time, are truly coming on strong.

This caught Xinghuo off guard.

The entire Spark.

Including Lin Li.

Many believe that Penguin will compete with Spark for popularity during the carnival.

Unexpectedly.

Penguins don't play by the rules.

Surprisingly, a game test was scheduled before the carnival.

this...

All I can say is that your thinking is truly unconventional. If you're testing before the carnival, what surprises will you bring to the players at the carnival itself?

But soon.

Lin Li immediately realized what was going on.

He has fallen into a cognitive trap.

Because Spark attaches great importance to the Carnival, it is holding back its big surprises, in order to bring more surprises to players during the Carnival and on the eve of Spark.

But penguins are different.

The penguin carnival is simply a promotional channel.

Chapter 270 Spark's Counterattack!

"We really shouldn't underestimate them."

After analyzing the reasons.

Lin Li also let out a long sigh.

Fortunately.

At this time, Xinghuo also had "Adventure World", a game that was being developed in Suzhou and Hangzhou and kept relatively secret.

Therefore, the penguin was unaware of the relevant information.

And now.

This crucial information is missing.

This gave Xinghuo the possibility of a counterattack.
