This Online Game Developer is Definitely Problematic

A turn-based online game that hadn’t been updated for half a year, had a development budget seven times that of its competitors, yet only made a tenth of their revenue—a total failure. A game t...

Chapter 293: A Big Tree Attracts the Wind

Chapter 293 A tall tree attracts the wind

. On this day,

the gaming circle was very lively because of the incident caused by Linmu Studio's new game "Hero".

Arguments, insults, water armies, and pitiful selling.

Endless.

In the end, the game "Hero" became secondary... players only cared about the online battles.

And just when the players were in various online battles.

Linmu Studio finally took action.

However, their action was quite simple, just issuing an announcement.

The content of the announcement was also very simple.

All e-sports events of its games will refuse Korean clubs and Korean players to participate, whether it is the most important first-party event at the end of the year or other third-party events.

As long as third-party events invite Korean players or allow Korean players to participate, Linmu Studio will directly deprive them of the qualification to host the event.

This punishment lasts for one year.

At the same time,

the four Korean players of the "Warcraft" project team last year will be banned forever.

In the future, they will not be welcome in any game events of Linmu Studio.

Once this announcement was issued,

it was immediately reposted.

When domestic players saw it, they were instantly silent.

The first reaction was.

Damn it.

Linmu Studio... is really cruel.

...

At the same time.

Shin Sung-soo was hiding in the club's dormitory, talking to the man from NeSOFT.

He didn't know that he was banned yet.

Because of the interests, he finally failed to stick to the bottom line.

And thinking about it carefully later. The more he thought

about it, the more he regretted it.

Especially when he learned that in fact, the four people did not stick to the bottom line and leaked the secret, and NeSOFT asked the four of them not to answer the call from Linmu Studio.

He panicked even more.

Isn't this confessing himself?

But he had no choice.

After all, he took the money...

"Brother Cui, this won't be a problem, right? Now that you don't answer the phone, won't Linmu Studio know it's us immediately?" Shin Sung-soo asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, there are four of you, what are you afraid of."

The person on the other end of the phone sneered silently.

If you answer the phone,

won't they know it's you?

It's really naive.

But the man on the other end thought one thing,

but said another.

"As long as you keep your mouth shut, when they accuse you, just insist that it's not you and that they are innocent. Then Linmu Studio has no evidence, what can they do to you? They can't do anything. After all, there are four of us. Can they do a lie detector test?

So don't worry, I won't lie to you, but remember not to talk nonsense. Just deny it. Don't mention us. I'll send you some money..." "

..."

Shin Sung-soo still felt a little uneasy when he heard what the other party said, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only respond softly.

But he just nodded.

Bang--

suddenly.

The door of his room was kicked open.

The manager of the club where Shin Sung-soo was standing at his door, staring at Shin Sung-soo with bloodshot eyes.

As if he wanted to eat him.

"Shin Sung-soo!!!!"

"Manager?" Shin Sung-soo turned his head and looked at the manager, stunned.

"Now! Immediately! Right now! Stand up!"

The club manager roared directly.

"Ah? What's wrong?" Shin Sung-soo stood up in a panic.

"Did you leak the new game of Linmu Studio? Tell me! I want to hear the truth!" The manager continued to roar.

Shin Sung-soo panicked instantly. He

held the phone in his hand and hesitated.

Seeing his expression, the club manager guessed something and roared again: "You'd better say it now. Linmu Studio has decided to ban you permanently. It's okay if you are banned, but if other projects of the club are also banned, think about the consequences!"

The club where Shin Sung-soo is located.

Not only has the "Warcraft" project,

but also other projects...

and the entire club has a boss behind it.

Hearing the word "ban",

Shin Sung-soo panicked even more.

He really couldn't help it, and didn't care about the manager's presence. He directly said to the other end of the phone: "Brother Cui!"

"... Damn it."

The man on the other end of the phone was stunned, and then cursed loudly.

It seems that he has received the news.

He didn't expect

that Linmu Studio didn't even bother to figure out who leaked the information. It

just punished them directly.

And it was banned for everyone!

"Brother Cui, what should I do!?" Shin Sung-soo saw that the other party didn't reply, and there was still a club manager standing in front of him, staring at him and wishing he could eat him, and he spoke with a crying tone.

The person on the other end of the phone didn't answer him, and cursed again. He

hung up the phone directly.

Shin Sung-soo was stunned.

He slowly put down the phone and looked at the manager with a dead look on his face.

...

In fact, Korean players were quite excited when they saw the announcement of Linmu Studio

. Some cursed, some cried out for injustice, and some said they would boycott Linmu Studio.

In short, they were very angry.

But Linmu Studio didn't care, and the announcement was posted anyway.

You can play the game if you want.

No one said anything about it.

Just waiting.

Soon.

Lin Yao successfully waited for what she wanted.

The club where the four Korean players belonged called back.

They admitted that there was indeed a leak, but it was not an active leak. It was just that the players were not tight-lipped when chatting...

Lin Yao also knew that they wanted to save face.

Give it to them.

It means that the relevant ban penalties will be lifted, and only the penalties for the four "Warcraft" players will be retained.

They have to pay the price for their thoughtless behavior.

At the same time, the club must come forward to explain.

After hearing the truth from the players, some clubs that were in the wrong had to do it.

Originally, they wanted to boycott, hoping to rely on public opinion to force Linmu Studio to change the punishment.

But Linmu Studio's actions... were really too fast.

They thought about it, but in the end, they didn't dare to confront them.

Soon.

These clubs issued announcements one after another, admitting management negligence and leaks by players.

Although NeSOFT also issued an announcement immediately afterwards, saying that this matter was false, and even accused Linmu Studio of deliberately treating Korean players differently, saying that it was very sad, and called on players to boycott Linmu Studio's games.

But Lin Yao was too lazy to pay attention to them.

This time, it was not that Lin Yao really treated Korean players differently, but that there was a problem with the Korean players.

If you still don't understand this reason.

Play if you want to!

This kind of cross-border dispute is extremely troublesome.

She directly asked the legal department to handle it.

She is now more concerned about the domestic Cosi Entertainment.

This game company, after those clubs issued the announcement.

After Linmu Studio also reposted it.

Facing the ridicule of the players.

He lost his voice instantly.

Deleted the announcement.

Started to play dead.

Didn't say a word next.

Mu Wanqing also found out the details and reported the background of this company to Lin Yao.

"Fuxin?"

Lin Yao asked with some confusion.

Mu Wanqing nodded and said softly, "Well, the company behind them is Fuxin Holdings, which has dozens of holding companies, the most famous of which are in the insurance industry and the gaming industry, including... Tianhu Entertainment and South Korea's NeSOFT."

Lin Yao: "..."

This is really true that a tall tree attracts the wind...
