Chapter 104 The trouble caused by Internet trolls
Speaking of September, apart from the release of the first promotional video for the original "Hollow Knight", the most eye-catching thing in the entire gaming circle was the "Yanguo Game Development" event led by Gu Wu, the gold medal producer of Feiyu Games. Exchange Conference”.
It’s not that there are any shocking masterpieces announced at this Game Developers Conference, nor is there any admirable boss.
It's because the players were surprised to find that Luo Bai's name was not included in the guest list of this game developer exchange conference.
What is Mr. Luo’s current identity and status?
The boss of Chuxin Game Studio, he single-handedly led three successful works: Mirror, Ori, and Darkest Dungeon.
Sales volume were four million, seven million, and two million respectively.
This achievement, the combined sales of everyone at the developer conference was not enough for Luo Bai alone.
Whether it is comparing reputation, character, or sales, Luobai is even more dominant.
But it was such an event titled "Yanguo Game Developers Exchange Conference", but Luo Bai was not invited?
This is a bit too ridiculous in the eyes of players.
In addition, players are really itching to wait for "Hollow Knight".
Immediately, some good people directly opened a discussion topic on a certain blog:
#There is no need to hold the Yanguo Game Developers Exchange Conference without Luo Bai#
Originally it was just a carnival for some players who like to cause trouble, but this kind of topic that is controversial at a glance and can cause a fight at a glance has attracted the interest of countless media who rely on this stuff to make a living.
Everyone knows the history of Luo Bai's fortune.
He came to power entirely by killing the rich and giving to the poor, directly stepping on Tianxing's corpse.
In the past year, other major domestic game companies have been seeking transformation and began to increase investment in stand-alone games.
What is Tianxing doing?
With layoffs and business contraction, I am relying on those restricted mobile games to make money and sell peripherals to support myself in retirement.
For a stinky piece of shit like Luo Bai who doesn't follow the rules, people in the gaming circle wouldn't even look at him twice. He's not the same person at all.
No matter how you like it, we can't handle you, and we won't play with you.
At most, I just watch the original game become a big hit, and there is a lot of acidity behind it.
Now, as soon as the media saw that these guys might collide with Luo Bai, they immediately got excited.
Just in time to catch up with the lack of gossip news in the domestic entertainment industry recently, this topic jumped to the third place in the hot search like a rocket.
"Any stinky fish or rotten shrimp can represent the game developers of Yan Kingdom. If nothing else, the few wall-breaking games made by Gu Wu are not even worthy of carrying Mr. Luo's shoes."
"Seriously, if you don't invite Mr. Luo, you guys can just find a room to play with yourself. Why are you making such a big fuss?"
"Do you understand how valuable TGA's best game of the year is? If you guys could get nominated, you'd probably lose a few teeth laughing."
Everything below is full of ridicule, and there is no one who can even say a word to help the "Yanguo Game Developers Exchange Conference".
There is no way, now Mr. Luo is in this position.
But what disappoints many media that rely on traffic is that neither the "Yanguo Game Developers Exchange Conference" nor Chuanxin made any response to this matter.
This is difficult to handle.
Even if the main character doesn't leave the game, how popular can it be by relying solely on the players?
They just joined in the fun, and when they had enough, they went to play games by themselves.
But the good news is that everyone underestimated how free Internet trolls are, and also overestimated the endurance of the "Yanguo Game Developers Exchange Conference".
Is there any use in trolling a topic? Go ahead and troll people!
"Are you Gu Wu? Who are you to organize the Yanguo Game Developer Exchange Conference here? Are you worthy?"
"Teacher Gu, what achievements have you made? Can you tell us about them?" "The name of 'Yanguo Game Developer Exchange Conference' is really too great. Teacher Gu, we don't have any objections to you. Just change the name, really.”
It's so overt and understated. As long as it's not a turtle, who can bear it?
Although there were people around him constantly trying to persuade Gu Wu, hoping that he would not do something stupid and provoke a certain industry troublemaker, Gu Wu still couldn't hold it back.
He immediately posted on his blog:
"I hope someone in my industry can take care of your fans. The entire gaming industry has a huge stake.
Don’t think that having one or two accomplishments will allow you to do whatever you want in this industry.
Stand-alone games are games, mobile games are games, and online games are also games. It is really meaningless to compare awards in different fields. ”
Although he didn't mention anyone by name, you could still tell who this guy was talking about at a glance.
And the original intention did not disappoint everyone, and he quickly responded.
Just as the Internet trolls who are not too concerned about the excitement are gearing up to attack, and the media are also planning to make good use of Qiaqia's traffic, Chuxin's response to this seems to be giving up.
Chuxin Game Studio:
"Thank you Mr. Gu Wu for your sincere suggestions to my studio. It is true that the achievements of different games cannot be compared vertically.
We express our sincere sympathy for the unwarranted abuse suffered by Teacher Gu Wu.
However, we cannot tell whether the person who humiliated Teacher Gu Wu is our fan. In this regard, our advice is that Teacher Gu Wu should use legal weapons to protect his own rights and interests.
We have not interfered with or discussed any ideas related to topics related to the ‘Yanguo Game Developers Exchange Conference’.
The development of "Hollow Knight" is in full swing. Our game development department is focusing all its energy on the development of the game. We just want to let all players who are interested in "Hollow Knight" play this game as soon as possible.
above. ”
At that time, Luo Bai, the actual author of this blog post, casually put down his mobile phone and continued to hold group meetings to guide the empty development direction.
He originally didn't want to get involved in this matter. He was not interested in the "Yanguo Game Developers Exchange Conference" at all, and he had never had any formal contact with this circle.
But after all, Gu Wu was indeed scolded by netizens who claimed to be a true fan, so Luo Bai felt that he had to respond.
Everyone has suffered a terrible disaster, please understand each other.
He felt that his blog post had a good attitude. It apologized and gave suggestions to others. It was simply elegant and easy-going.
But Luo Bai obviously still underestimated the level of mosquito fish among netizens.
"To be reasonable, the response given by the original intention may seem timid at first glance, but in fact, it cannot be harder!
First of all, I dare to take responsibility. Although you did not name me, I know that you are indeed talking about me. I admit it and thank you politely for your suggestion.
Then, I directly stated that I don’t know whether this is my fans or my slander. I have no obligation to help you restrain it. You can find a way to protect your rights by yourself.
Finally, it’s even more shameful. It’s none of my business what kind of “Yanguo Game Developer Exchange Conference” there is. Whoever wants to go to this kind of pheasant conference created by you internally, I won’t go anyway.
You can even advertise for yourself.
This wave! This wave is winning! ”
"It's so funny. I'm a good publicist at the beginning. There's nothing wrong with this rebuttal."
"Fuck! Although Chu Xin was polite throughout the entire reply, why do I feel like Chu Xin was pointing at this guy's nose and scolding him."
"What kind of bullshit developer conference is this? Does it have anything to do with the original intention? I haven't discussed it with you guys, but you still made a masterpiece like Ori?
Just take a shower and go to sleep. ”
