As Xu Menghua's voice faded, the "Frost and Snow Project" preview livestream officially came to an end.
But the impact of this preview was far from over.
It could even be said that it had just begun.
Countless netizens were still excited and eager to share their feelings at this moment.
But the livestream room had already gone dark, and Qing Ling wasn't singing.
Chatting in front of a pitch-black screen was indeed a bit lacking, so after chatting for a while, everyone moved their positions and went to the game groups and Dream Tents to continue chatting.
As a large number of viewers left, the atmosphere of the barrage rapidly deteriorated:
"Trash game, vulgar and obscene! Objectifying women!"
"Boring to death, I can't even keep playing before the main storyline is finished."
"The open world is just a mess, when are you going to learn from others?"
"Dual banners! Are you crazy about money!"
"My phone gets hot after playing for ten minutes, what terrible optimization!"
… …
The pitch-black screen was densely covered with negative reviews.
What's even more outrageous is that these negative review barrages were highly repetitive!
Almost every type of negative review barrage was being sent by at least a dozen people at the same time, and they were spamming the screen tirelessly, again and again.
Such highly repetitive and uniform negative reviews stunned the water friends who were still in the livestream room.
Then they quickly realized:
"This is… a robot?"
"No way, the preview is over, and the robots are still working?"
"Probably set to stop when the livestream room closes, right?"
"6"
… …
In livestream rooms with too much popularity, in order to ensure smooth streaming and viewing experience, the livestream room will not display all barrages indiscriminately, but will filter them and divert the barrages to different channels.
So, previously, these negative reviews were covered up by the normal barrages of the water friends.
Only now, after a large number of viewers dispersed and the normal barrages sharply decreased, were they displayed in a concentrated manner.
Second-dimension game players are knowledgeable and immediately recognized these negative review robots.
After that, they not only ignored them, but even took screenshots and screen recordings, and posted them on PiliPili and Dream Tents to share this fun with everyone.

The Dream Tents "Frost and Snow Project" section had already fallen into a frenzy.
Page after page of new posts were all about discussions of this preview:
[Looking for the bro who got the Saintess Skirt Table Lamp! I'm buying it at a high price!]
["Frost and Snow Project" is going to land on consoles, we can beat up little foreigners in the future!]
[Qing Ling singing, 3 minutes and 21 seconds of pure enjoyment!]
The last title was about the hired gun robots being exposed.
In the replies to this post, everyone unanimously believed:
"It must be hired guns hired by "Divine Bird"!"

Inside the Magic Taro Games company, the "Divine Bird" project team was so angry they wanted to vomit blood.
Of course, they were unhappy with their competitor, "Frost and Snow Project."
But, they were conducting a popularity war!
Sending barrages to the other side would also increase their popularity, wouldn't that be supporting the enemy?
They didn't do this at all!
Lu Ming, the chief planner of "Divine Bird", immediately thought of the boss, Fei Zhiyuan, and the boss's lackey, Gong Feng.
So, he felt even more unhappy in his heart.
Because in this tit-for-tat preview battle, "Divine Bird" was completely defeated!
No conspiracies, no taking shortcuts, no burning money to attack… …
"Frost and Snow Project" openly and fairly defeated "Divine Bird."
This caused a heavy blow to the morale of the entire project team.
In front of Lu Ming, the entire office was shrouded in low pressure, and the most active employees in the past were now sitting blankly in their office chairs, silently refreshing the web version of Dream Tents.
— — Yes, they were refreshing Dream Tents.
Magic Taro Games' own community app has dedicated personnel to manage it, and a casual scroll is full of pleasant words.
It is difficult for the project team to understand enough real player opinions.
Even going to the operations department is the same, because bad opinions will be quickly deleted, without discussion or interaction, and naturally lacking objectivity.
But Dream Tents is different.
Dream Building doesn't care about you at all.
With this, when players say nice things, they will be in their own game community, and when they vomit black mud, they will run to the Dream Tents where no one cares.
So, Dream Tents has become a gathering place for black mud from various mobile games.
Many development teams hate Dream Building so much that they grit their teeth.
But if you want to hear real player feedback, you have to pinch your nose and come here to read posts every day.
Lu Ming walked over and glanced at the post he was reading — —
["Divine Bird" vs "Frost and Snow Project", a complete collapse from popularity to content!]
His footsteps suddenly stopped in place.
His resentment towards the boss and Gong Feng deepened.
He even had a very impolite thought — —
"Being with this group of vermin… …"
… …
In the chairman's office, the biggest vermin of Magic Taro Games — — Fei Zhiyuan, had an ashen face.
The screen in front of him also showed the same title:
["Divine Bird" vs "Frost and Snow Project", a complete collapse from popularity to content!]
But not on Dream Tents, but on Weiguang.

This "preview war" that has attracted much attention in the game circle has finally come to an end.
Final popularity comparison — —
"Frost and Snow Project": million
"Divine Bird": million
A huge difference of times, an unquestionable collapse!
In fact, at the beginning of the preview, the popularity gap between the two sides was not large — — both were around 9 million.
In other words, at least the two are standing on a similar starting line.
But their differences lie in this:
For Dream Builders, 9 million in popularity is just the beginning.
But for Moyu Games, 9 million in popularity is both the start and the peak.
Why is 'Divine Bird' at its peak right from the start, while 'Project Frost Snow' can create miracles time and time again, until it finally breaks through the 20 million mark?
The reason is simple:
'Divine Bird' lacks innovation. After players get a little freshness at the beginning, everything that follows is just the same old repetition.
And the freshness at the beginning, apart from the new character making a breakthrough in scale—which is still just following Dream Builders' lead—the other content is equally mediocre.
The newest novels are first published on 69shuba.!
It's no different from every previous preview.
But the previews for 'Project Frost Snow' can continuously bring out new things, satisfying and even exceeding players' expectations time and time again.
New content, new characters, new gameplay, cloud gaming, landing on consoles…
And the incredible new technology that will only be revealed at the Gamescom trade fair.
So much content, gathered in one preview, brings players a constant stream of surprises.
With such a comparison, how could Moyu not be defeated?!
Moreover, this is different from being surpassed on the mobile game sales charts.
Everyone knows that due to the update characteristics of ACG games, revenue is highly concentrated. A month or even two months of lagging revenue does not mean a true lag.
A good character, an excellent version update, can all lead to a rebound in revenue.
But this time is different.
This time, it's not just a revenue surpass, but a comprehensive surpass in [creativity], [content], [technology], and [future]!
From now on, 'Divine Bird' is completely behind 'Project Frost Snow'!
Even if the positions of the two on the sales charts change in the short term in the future, it will not be able to change this fact.
Starting today, 'Project Frost Snow's' goal is no longer 'Divine Bird'.
Ahead of it, there is only one goal left: 'Abyss of the Gods'.
I wonder if Fourth Dimension Games, which is used to sitting on the mountaintop, has felt the chill?—
"Bang!!"
Fei Zhiyuan slammed his fist heavily on the desk, making a loud noise.
Outside the office, the working employees were startled and subconsciously turned their heads to look at the boss's office.
But the next moment they realized something, tacitly withdrew their gazes, and pretended they hadn't heard anything.
Fei Zhiyuan realized his gaffe, released his fist, and placed his hand flat on the desk.
But when he looked up and saw this manuscript, he subconsciously exerted force on his hand, almost digging his fingers into the solid wood desktop!
The most infuriating thing about this manuscript was that:
The person writing the manuscript was obviously writing it in sync while watching the preview, so it could be released so quickly!
He was simply writing the manuscript with a conclusion in mind!
Not neutral or objective at all!
It's just a popularity contest failure, why is it so exaggerated?!
Fei Zhiyuan was very angry.
But he was also helpless.
—[Game Observation] doesn't have much money, but has a wide network of contacts and a terrible temper.
There is almost no precedent for accepting money to withdraw a manuscript, and it is also difficult to bribe them to sing your praises.
If you want them to write a manuscript praising you, there is only one way—your game is really fun, or what you do is really awesome.
So Fei Zhiyuan didn't quite understand:
Why is [Game Observation] so…fawning over Dream Builders?
He shook his head, shaking this doubt out of his mind.
There are more important things to deal with now—
He has to find a way to reduce the impact of this failure.
How much traffic dividend they ate from the previous "Preview War", now they have to bear how much public opinion backlash after the failure.
Now all the players are mocking them!
The die-hard fans of 'Divine Bird', outnumbered, are almost mocked into autism.
How can they reverse the situation, or even use this popularity in reverse?
After a little thought, Fei Zhiyuan called Gong Feng in with a phone call.
"Prepare for and announce the first closed beta of 'Mirror World Story' as soon as possible."
"Don't waste this popularity."
"Understood." Gong Feng came quickly and left the office quickly to take action.
This news quickly spread to the 'Divine Bird' project team.
Lu Ming smashed his mouse on the spot.

Fourth Dimension Games headquarters, office of Hu Jun, operations director of 'Abyss of the Gods'.
In front of him, was also Huo Dao's manuscript.
While reading, his fingers kept tapping on the table.
He was a little irritable.
Fourth Dimension Games was originally sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai in this war between Moyu and Dream Builders, just watching the excitement leisurely.
But now, seeing the final popularity of the 'Project Frost Snow' preview breaking through 20 million, already close to half of the peak of 'Abyss of the Gods'.
He also had to face up to the threat of Dream Builders.
After all, 'Abyss of the Gods' has already passed its peak, and the market has been tapped almost completely.
But 'Project Frost Snow' is just getting started, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.
Especially in the overseas market, with the Softoe game box as a springboard, they will soon be able to expand and grow rapidly!
And the cloud gaming and the mysterious technology of "entering the game world"…
The threat has greatly increased!
In Huo Dao's words, he did "feel the chill".
He picked up the phone and called his assistant:
"Arrange my trip to Gamescom next month."
He must take a close look at that mysterious new technology before he can judge how to deal with this brand new challenger.
Seeking monthly tickets!
