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 490 Jealousy

Chapter 490 Jealousy

Although Lin Yao said forget it.

But the public opinion caused by "Detective Dee" seems to be getting more and more intense.

Lin Yao doesn't want to care about these things, and Linmu Studio has not said

anything. It's as if they don't know about it at all.

But players can't do that.

After all, the stigmatization, mudslinging, and stereotypes of games have existed for a long time.

Dissatisfaction and frustration are wrapped in strong unwillingness - mainly because China finally has a 3A game with a familiar theme, and it is even very well made. It didn't encounter too many problems when it was released overseas, but it was pointed at and scolded in China.

For players, the unpleasant emotions are really full.

In addition, in fact, it has always been.

There is a huge cognitive gap and discourse power gap between the player group and some so-called scholars and some... so-called "experienced people" and "elders" who think they are older and want to use experience and other excuses to impose their own thinking patterns and ideas on everyone.

Of course, not everyone is like this. For example, Yi Jianjun, although he is also nearly 50 years old, can understand that his son likes to play games, and he can even play a game himself... He can also seek common ground while reserving differences when his colleagues have different opinions, instead of trying to persuade others or impose his own ideas on others.

But not everyone is like him. There are still quite a few people who prefer to look at everything with their own worldview and values, and stubbornly believe that only they are right.

Conservative and paranoid, they are not happy with anything they can't understand, and always like to point out anything they don't like, or directly put a hat on it.

These people also like to talk loudly!

They can even leave a comment under some popular science articles saying that parents can play some simple games with their children in their childhood, saying "Why do you teach games? Do you want your children to only know how to play games in the future?"

Many players have really been unhappy with these people for a long time!

You tm, the game they are talking about is a game like "Labo", which can promote parent-child relationships and promote the development of children's thinking ability. You just left a sentence that the children will only know how to play games in the future. Are you crazy!

Not to mention…addiction, electronic drugs, and the like.

Please.

As long as you are a normal person, a normal person with universal values ​​and normal thinking.

Who doesn’t know that addiction is harmful? Who doesn’t know that games are easy to get addicted to?

Picking on individual cases every day, players who like games know the problematic individual cases, and then impose a fixed impression on the entire industry and the entire group, is it interesting! ?

So

new hatreds are added to old hatreds.

It directly triggered the long-term dissatisfaction of many players.

These players directly confronted the group headed by the famous professor surnamed You.

Both sides began to present evidence, post historical materials, and curse each other.

No one was convinced. The

main argument of the players is that the game "Di Renjie" did not damage the image of historical figures, did not maliciously smear, and did not deviate too much from historical facts.

If this game has the tendency of smearing and deliberately misinterpreting such as "naked sheep", then the players themselves would have cursed! It is not your turn to speak out!

But the game is just an artistic processing on the original basis, and the basic character images have corresponding anchor points. The Di Renjie in the game has the same high emotional intelligence and charm. Even the game portrays Wu Zetian very well, focusing on her later years, without blindly praising or smearing her, and she is full of imperial momentum.

Moreover, this game is very popular overseas. Many domestic players know the character Di Renjie because of this game. There are even many players who are interested in looking up the history of this character after playing the game.

What's more, the historical records of the main characters are carefully posted at the back of the game!

So, what's the problem with this?

The group headed by the famous professor surnamed You mainly argued that it is precisely because the game is very popular overseas that the game's misinterpretation is not okay! Don't talk about artistic processing. The mysterious, dark and bizarre cases in the game itself should not exist. This is a trick! Di Renjie is a famous politician, so his identity as a politician should be portrayed! Instead of a wrong adaptation, it will leave a wrong image to the overseas masses and make them laugh.

In addition, this is to say that this head cannot be opened. Now it is only Di Renjie, but who knows if the next "adaptation" will be more excessive after they have tasted the sweetness this time?

Then, the remarks that "the Supreme Saint Master adapted and killed people" were posted.

When the players saw it, they went crazy on the spot.

What's wrong with the Supreme Saint Master! Do you think the Supreme Saint Master is as weak as you? Isn't this true to some extent?

What's more, do you think the players are brain-dead? Don't the players know how to distinguish right from wrong?

Or do you think Linmu Studio is brain-dead? They really don't even know how to distinguish right from wrong and what can and cannot be done?

Is this the same thing?

In short, neither side gave in.

Then, as the war of words escalated.

The topic became more and more intense... Thanks to the super high popularity of "Di Renjie", more and more people were involved.

It was directly known to everyone.

By the way, it also pushed Linmu Studio to the cusp of the storm.

And this farce finally ushered in a reversal at the end of February.

Mainly because a certain video was posted.

The professor surnamed You, who now wishes that he would die on the spot when playing Detective Dee, beat his chest and said that overseas had a great influence on domestic culture after the release of Call of Duty, and then criticized the producer Linmu Studio for making a lot of money without fulfilling the corresponding cultural obligations, but instead boasting about overseas, and then hoped to check the composition of Linmu Studio...

These words resonated with many people at the time.

But now it seems a bit funny.

Well,

you can say anything.

To do overseas themes is to check the ingredients, and to do domestic themes is to spread the wrong image and make a fool of oneself.

Are you sick?

Who are you talking about? ?

Such a funny contrast has caused a large part of the passers-by who are just eating melons to start leaning towards the players.

After all, most people still have the ability to distinguish right from wrong.

But the same thing goes... When a stubborn and paranoid person is determined about something, no matter how much you say or how many objections there are, they will change the other person's mind.

And the professor surnamed You, plus a group of loyal followers, are such people.

Even at this point.

They still firmly believe that "Detective Dee" has problems.

It's just not worthy!

In the end, probably because he was annoyed by the players' sarcasm, the professor surnamed You even said this.

"Some people ignore history and ignore long-term development for the sake of short-term stimulation. This is wrong. History has shown that this kind of action of distorting the history of one's own country will not have good results.

The reason why these people have become like this is because of the influence of the game. I think Linmu Studio really needs to change. In the process of making a lot of money, can't you consider your social responsibility as a company?

Haven't you considered that your work will affect the ideas of tens of millions of young people?

If you know, please correct it immediately!

If you don't know, then I think it is necessary for the superiors to consider the necessity of the existence of games."

As soon as he said this.   Players

exploded again...

and Linmu Studio.

Although the recent farce has increased a lot of topics for "Di Renjie", and even the sales have increased a lot.

But the overall atmosphere of Linmu Studio is still not good. The main thing is.   Lin Yao is very irritable.   Visible irritability, although she treats the staff as usual and will say good morning to the staff who greets her.   But everyone can see that   she is very irritable now.   Of course, the one who feels this the most is Mu Wanqing.   After all, she has been with Lin Yao for the longest time.   And Lin Yao will also express his emotions directly in front of her!   "I really...! It's not over yet, is it!"   Lin Yao sat in her chair, pursed her lips tightly, and her chest rose and fell with pride.   She really didn't want to deal with such things, because she was even more helpless in her previous life.   So she has been very restrained, wanting to let this matter slowly die down.   After all, such idiots are everywhere, and they can't be reasoned   with. There is no benefit in paying attention to them.   However.   The other party doesn't seem to want to calm down.   Over and over again.   Crazy to anger the players, and after that ridiculous speech came out, he still said such words.   Once again, the players were dissatisfied, and once again, they added fuel to the fire.   Lin Yao really couldn't stand it.   She would rather not have such heat!   In the final analysis, why is it.   Is it really impossible to do even the most basic, understanding and coexistence?   "…"   Mu Wanqing stood beside Lin Yao, also pursing her lips gently. After a moment of silence, she said softly: "In fact, most normal people and players are on our side, but with so many people, there will always be a few stubborn people who can't be reasoned with. Calm down."   "I can't calm down."   Lin Yao raised her head, took a deep breath, and then stretched out her white palm to Mu Wanqing: "Give it to me."   "…"   Mu Wanqing was silent for a moment, and without hesitation, she handed her the phone to her.   Lin Yao took the phone and logged into the official account of Linmu Studio.   In fact, this incident had a great impact on Linmu Studio. Many staff members were indignant, and even the most extreme ones said that they should just acquire social media...   But Lin Yao had no such idea at all.   Because since the rise of the Internet, social media... is a quagmire.   No matter where it is, it is a very sensitive thing.   After all, it is a new mouthpiece.   So Lin Yao will not touch this kind of thing.   Because for her, the benefits are really not great.   The official account was in the hands of Mu Wanqing, mainly because most of the staff in Linmu Studio were very angry, so Mu Wanqing was asked to take charge of it.   But now the boss can't stand it anymore.   That's another story...   That night.   After several days of debate.   As the party involved in the incident, Linmu Studio spoke out about it.   "I don't understand. I can accept that you don't like the game as a medium, and I can accept that you don't like the story in "Detective Dee" and think that the image in the story doesn't match your imagination.   I can understand all these, but the only thing I can't understand is why you want to impose your ideas on everyone? I agree with history, but has the game really distorted anything?   If we follow your ridiculous standards, then all the works related to the Three Kingdoms are unnecessary? And why is it related to the influence of the game?"   This is the first time that Linmu Studio has spoken out since the incident fermented.   Of course, the players cheered.

But at the same time, the other side also cheered and jumped for joy...

The professor surnamed You forwarded Linmu Studio's blog post that day, and then gave a reply.

"Here we go again, haha, the method of stealing concepts is quite familiar, didn't you read my premise? Influence! Your game has such a great influence! But it spreads the wrong image! This is a problem! The Three Kingdoms is the most familiar theme for domestic audiences, and domestic audiences can certainly distinguish right from wrong! But are Di Renjie and Li Tang familiar to domestic players? Are they familiar to overseas players? Have you ever thought about the bad influence caused?

This is not a problem for me alone. I am asking you a question on behalf of countless people. You abuse your influence to make profits for yourself. Don't you feel guilty?"

Not long after these words came out.

Linmu Studio also responded, this time it was simple: "So, the game should die, right? It doesn't even have the right to adapt, right?"

On the other side.

The reply was also fast.

"It's not that we can't adapt! But we have to follow history! Reflect the correct history, especially when you have such a great influence! Money, money, money! Is money really that important to you? Is it really that difficult to put the money aside a little and promote domestic traditional culture? Do you

really have to add a bunch of bullshit detective stories to please others, and then portray a gentleman and a good minister as a charlatan? Don't you even have this responsibility?

I'm not saying that you will go all the way to the end! Sooner or later, you will fall! Not to mention China! If you rewrite history so wantonly, be careful of being collectively boycotted by the overseas masses! I'll wait and see!!"

Linmu Studio did not reply again.

Because Lin Yao had already been hugged by Mu Wanqing, if she continued to talk, it would really be a curse.

Finally.

Linmu Studio returned to peace.

But Linmu Studio was calm, but the players were not.

Under the blog post of the famous professor surnamed You, there were 100,000 floor sprays.

But the other party didn't seem to care, closed the comment area, and then forwarded the remarks he wanted to see.

Singing and dancing.

Everything is the same as before.

Even if he is spurned by thousands of people, he still believes that he is right.

There is even a sense of victory.

There is a wonderful feeling of being alone in the crowd, and being sober while everyone else is drunk.

Not affected at all.

"Old You, take it easy."

A certain university.

Office.

A refined middle-aged man wearing glasses looked at a colleague holding a mobile phone next to him, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Why are you meddling in games? You don't understand!"

"You don't understand!

"

The middle-aged man's colleague who was holding a mobile phone heard the man's words and said with a little displeasure: "This kind of game that arbitrarily tampered with history and misled a large group of students is simply a black sheep! What's more, it has such a high influence overseas, how can we turn a blind eye to it! Can history be tampered with like this?

A group of students also said that games are much more interesting than what professors teach. They ask common sense questions in class every day, such as the authenticity of Di Renjie's detective cases and the merits and demerits of Wu Zetian. Wouldn't they understand these if they listened carefully to ancient history? Is there any need to ask? They also said that they became interested in games! They talk about games in every sentence! They praise the wrong images in the game, but say that the correct knowledge given by us teachers is boring. What kind of talk is this!"

"Isn't this a good thing? Let students become interested and then want to understand the real history.

People make games to make money. It's already amazing to be able to do this."

The elegant middle-aged man with glasses advised: "How to make games, they are professionals. Adaptation is human nature. You..."

"Heh."

The professor surnamed You who was holding the mobile phone sneered and turned back.   Seeing this, the elegant middle-aged man with glasses sighed and said nothing more, only saying at the end: "Anyway, you should take it easy. I think the students have a lot of complaints..."

There    is another chapter, but it will probably be late. Don't wait, tomorrow...   (End of this chapter)
