After Ye Feng posted this update, it attracted numerous questions from netizens.
However, it did attract the attention of countless netizens, who felt that there couldn't possibly be a truly free game.
Most importantly, this game was developed by one of the five major families.
Even free-to-play games developed by ordinary people are full of spending traps; you five major families have no idea how much of a rip-off you are!
If you hadn't mentioned the five major families, things would have been better. But now everyone knows it was developed by the five major families, how could this game not fail?
Especially those game developers who are now using the free-to-play label believe that Nightwind is just trying to attract attention.
The next day
At 8:00 AM, Audition Online and Honor of Kings were launched simultaneously.
Countless players who had already downloaded the game entered the game.
The first thing these people did upon entering the game was to look for the recharge option.
However, no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find the recharge option.
"Holy crap, where's the recharge portal? Has anyone found it?"
"I want to support this young man, but can someone tell me where the recharge portal is?"
"Do you think it might be on that NPC? Everyone, look carefully!"
At this moment, a red subtitle flashed on the game screen.
Night Breeze: Hello everyone, this is Night Breeze. This game is truly free-to-play. You can obtain items from the in-game store by completing tasks. If you don't want to do tasks, you can purchase items with Canglan Coins. Due to player concerns, we have decided to open the recharge portal one week later.
Upon seeing Ye Feng's words, all the players were stunned; there really was such a free game.
People soon discovered that this game was different from Super Smash Bros.
In Super Smash Bros., there are many promotional slogans for the "commoner" faction, making it immediately clear that this game is aimed at ordinary people.
The gameplay of these two games is fundamentally different from that of Super Smash Bros.
The goal is competition; as long as you have good skills, you can still win even with poor equipment.
Most importantly, this game also features promotional slogans, and they refer to the five major families.
This inevitably leads people to associate these two games with Super Smash Bros.
One is a free game developed by a grassroots group, but despite being free, it's full of hidden traps for payment.
One of them was developed by the five major families, and it was indeed free, showing that they did not compete with the people for profit.
Suddenly, the commoners' faction and the five major families were at odds, and many people began to criticize the commoners' faction.
"What kind of bullshit populist faction is this? Their behavior is so disgusting. They claim to be fighting for the people's interests, but they are actually fighting against the people for their own!"
"The current populist faction has long since changed its ways. In my opinion, they are not even as conscientious as the five great families!"
"It's too early to draw conclusions now; we need to observe for a while longer!"
"That's right, the fear now is that while playing, a pay-to-play trap will appear!"
Those who were initially laughing at Ye Feng now realized that this was not a free game at all.
Instead, it was propaganda for the five major families, and in this way, it exposed the ugly face of the commoners.
Suddenly, several bigwigs from the populist faction panicked; they hadn't expected things to develop to this point.
"Everyone is probably aware of the rumors circulating online. I wonder what your thoughts are on this matter?"
"Old Ren, are you confused? I told you from the beginning that this was inappropriate, but you wouldn't listen and insisted on your own opinion. Now look what happened!"
"Old Ren, you really handled this matter poorly, sigh!"
"Old Ren..."
Ren Junzhi looked at everyone present and coldly laughed, "Gentlemen, are you planning to push me out as a scapegoat?"
"Old Ren, this isn't about finding a scapegoat; it's about giving the public an explanation! Now—"
"Alright, take a look at your phones!" Ren Junzhi interrupted the conversation, something he had anticipated.
Upon hearing his words, everyone opened their phones, and a file appeared on them.
After everyone clicked on the file and looked at it, their faces turned green. This old Ren was too cunning.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Ren Junzhi said nonchalantly, "You'd better make sure I'm alright, otherwise this document will definitely be posted online by my people. If I die, you won't have an easy time either!"
Wen Nanshan, the leader of the populist faction, looked at Ren Junzhi and said, "Old Ren, what do you mean by this?"
Ren Junzhi stood up and bowed deeply to Wen Nanshan, saying, "Nanshan, I know this will make things difficult for you, but you must understand my predicament!"
Wen Nanshan was trembling with anger. He had only glanced at the documents a few times and already knew exactly what was going on.
Although he was aware over the years that the commoners' faction had changed, he still thought that no matter how much it had changed, it was still stronger than the five major families.
But after glancing at the information Ren Junzhi had just posted, he knew the problem was much more serious than he had thought.
It seems I've been too lenient with them all these years; I never imagined the populist faction had degenerated to this extent.
"Ren Junzhi, are you really going to fight us to the death?" another leader of the populist faction cursed.
Ren Junzhi respected Wen Nanshan, knowing that he truly cared about the common people.
This document does not contain any information about Wen Nanshan's misdeeds, but of the thirteen bigwigs who attended the meeting today, none of them are clean except for Wen Nanshan.
Some of these people would be lucky to escape execution.
One of them was Jia Wenxuan, who defected to the West and manipulated textbooks.
This is an attempt to glorify the history of Western aggression from the ground up; calling it heinous is an understatement.
