Chapter 37 The Darkest Hour
"Er Xiao, forget about downloading it. There are too many sunspots and you can't block them."
"Xiaoxiao, I don't care about this. If you like this game, you can download it and play it later. There is no need to hurt yourself here."
"What the hell, where did this black guy come from? Can you go away? If you don't like it, just go to the upper right corner!"
A few scattered barrages seemed so insignificant among the huge black army.
Erxiao's eyes were red and she tried not to let her tears stay. She stopped playing the game and silently blocked the Oriheiko one by one.
She didn't understand why such a fun game like Ori was turned into garbage in the mouths of these people.
Don't they have eyes? Can't they see such a beautiful picture on the screen in the live broadcast room?
Erxiao is a very strong girl. She firmly believes that she is not wrong and Ori is a very good game.
She just stayed in her live broadcast room, on her own one-third of an acre of land, without recruiting or provoking anyone, and she never said a single bad word about the "Legend of Demon World 2" next door.
She just wants to enjoy this game with all the Ori fans.
Tonight, she is not a host or an up, she is just a player.
But someone wanted to come to her door, forcing her to admit that she had taken the money, forcing her to admit that Ori was a rubbish game, and forcing her to admit that her original intention was a rubbish studio.
Erxiao couldn't do it.
She didn't even want to run away in despair. She wanted to stay in her live broadcast room and fight all the sunspots!
At this time, even Er Xiao's fans couldn't stand it anymore. There were too few of them and they couldn't scold those people, and they couldn't bear to see Er Xiao shed tears there.
You can only turn off the live broadcast room and keep out of sight.
What does it mean to be alone? This is what it means to be alone.
Erxiao didn't know how long she would be sealed off, but she wanted to continue sitting here.
"Er Xiao, please close the live broadcast room."
News on Penguin.
If it were someone else's advice, she wouldn't even look at it.
But when she saw the signature "Mr. Luo", her tears couldn't help but fall down.
"Go off the air and take a nap, have a good rest, we will win."
Erxiao squeezed out a few sobs from his nose and buried his head deeply. After a while, the live broadcast room went dark.
Erxiao broadcast, Chuxin's last base camp fell.
……
Dawn.
"Mr. Liang! Our sales have exceeded 700,000!"
The report from his subordinates made Liang Renfeng unable to restrain the joy on his face.
Only twelve hours have passed! Even if you put aside the more than 200,000 pre-orders, the sales of "Makai Saga 2" are enough to be called a skyrocketing!
It seems that the sales volume of "Tales of Demon World 2" is not as strong as that of Mirror, but this is not the case.
You know, the price of the mirror is six yuan, which is not even the price of a cup of milk tea. Most players just bought it if they thought about it.
As a game priced at 68 yuan, "Legend of Demon World 2" will undoubtedly need to screen out a large number of players.
This wave is a great victory for "Legend of Demon World 2"!
"What's going on over there at Ori?"
Although his heart was filled with joy, Liang Renfeng still did not forget his biggest opponent.
A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength. He is not the kind of pig opponent who takes advantage of the wind.
"I contacted my friends inside Steam, and they said that the total purchase volume of Ori now is less than 50,000, which is far behind us."
There was a lot of pride on the subordinate's face, which scratched Liang Renfeng's itch hard.
He happily patted his subordinate's shoulder, drew some words such as "Keep up the good work, I'll give you a sister-in-law next year", and happily went to report the good news to President Ma Binma.
Chairman's office.
Not only Ma Bin is here today, but his son Ma Liangcai is also here.
"Dr. Ma, this is a comparison chart of the sales of our Legend of the Demon World and Ori. Our publicity strategy is very effective. Now Ori is being shouted out by everyone online."
Liang Renfeng hunched over, holding the comparison chart that he quickly urged the clerk to print out, and came to claim credit.
As a result, Ma Bin pondered for a moment about the comparison picture in Liang Renfeng's hand, and then handed the picture to his son:
"Liangcai, what do you think?"
"Ah?" Ma Liangcai was slightly startled, and then he took the comparison chart from his father's hand with some irritability.
After watching it for a long time, he said excitedly:
"It's a game played by that idiot from our Guosha Luobai!"
Poof! Liang Renfeng's mouth was twitching, and he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
What a good person, what a idiot.
A layer of gloom suddenly appeared between Ma Bin's brows.
With the current situation of Tianxing, as long as Ma Liangcai pays a little attention, he can know what is going on.
But now he actually gave such an answer?
I'm so spoiled by my mother...
After pondering for a moment, Ma Bin sighed, and decided to break it apart and crush it into pieces to tell his son the secret:
"If you have really been in Tang Yunpeng's production team and experienced it, you should clearly realize that the quality of "Tales of Demon World 2" is definitely at a certain disadvantage compared with "Ori and the Dark Forest".
"Legend of Demon World 2" was just an imitator. Tang Yunpeng was very tight on time at the time. He would learn from what he could learn from, and he could only copy what he couldn't learn from. ”
"Tang Yunpeng didn't let me enter his department! When I was about to report that day, he kicked me out!
If it weren't for the overall situation, I would have come here to complain. ”
Ma Liangcai complained with an unhappy look on his face.
"Why did he kick you out! You are the second person in charge of the project! If he told you to leave, you would leave? If he told you to die, would you die?"
Ma Bin's defense was a bit broken and he started to say dirty words,
"Repay him for having the nerve to come and complain to me. If you come to complain, I will beat you to death!"
Liang Renfeng was having a hard time suppressing his laughter down there.
Ma Dong has always been strategizing and calm, but he broke his guard in front of his son.
He was so happy.
Ma Liangcai lowered his head and did not dare to say another word.
Ma Bin rubbed his eyebrows and realized his gaffe, and sighed:
"The reason why "Pandemonium 2" was able to crush "Ori" in sales this time is mainly because Tianxing cooperated with others to dominate.
No matter how excellent the games produced by Chuxin Game Studio are, in the eyes of the majority of players, it is just a small workshop that has made restricted-level games.
No matter how precarious Tianxing is now, it is still the top gaming company in the country.
Even if you know that the products from small workshops are of high quality and low price, most people still prefer to choose Tianxing with guaranteed quality. This is the general trend.
We took advantage of this general trend and the good quality of "Tales from Demon World 2" to launch a navy army and directly pinned Ori to the ground from the source of the announcement.
As long as no one plays, Ori's quality will never be discovered.
But this restraint will certainly not last long.
A good game will always be a good game, not weighed down by temporary stigma.
Sooner or later, this sleepy dragon will soar among players' reputations.
At that point, the backlash will come. ”
"Ah? What should we do?"
Ma Liangcai was very happy to see the sales of Luo Bai's game explode. Hearing his father's analysis, he suddenly became anxious.
Damn it, why didn’t I shoot you on the wall when I gave birth to you...
Ma Bin closed his eyes and directly ordered Liang Renfeng:
"Now to build momentum, Luo Bai stole the creative ideas of "Legend of Demon World 2" during the time he was working at Tianxing, and then developed Ori.
Increase the investment of the navy, and I want to see the voices of Ori plagiarism on all major platforms.
In addition, try to find a way to buy 10,000 copies of Ori, all of which will have bad reviews and destroy Ori's reputation.
In this process, all the insiders signed an agreement with them, allowing them to stand on the stars, no matter the cost, the name of the pioneer of the new path of side-scrolling 2D games must be "Legend of Demon World 2"! ”
Damn it... I was just cutting off from Ori before, but now I'm the guest.
Ma Dong’s move can be described as vicious!
"Dad, not everyone can be bribed."
Ma Liangcai's sudden question made Ma Bin frown slightly:
"It doesn't matter, as long as Tang Yunpeng can be stabilized, oral evidence is not considered evidence.
Who told Luo Bai to reveal his creativity in advance? This kind of war of words will never come to fruition. ”
After saying that, Ma Bin looked at Liang Renfeng:
"Go and report the good news about our sales to Director Tang."
Liang Renfeng nodded without changing his expression, turned and left the office.
On one side is the name of a pioneer of new roads, on the other side is ruined, you know how to choose.
