These past two days, the internet war between the extremist feminist organizations and Dream Builder's players has not ceased for a moment.
Yang Hui has been at the forefront around the clock, intensely arguing with people online.
In less than two days, her Weilight blacklist has grown significantly longer.
So long that the system even prompts her:
[You have blacklisted over 5000 accounts. Weilight members can block up to 10000 accounts. Please allocate reasonably.]
— Weilight is even worried that her 10000 blacklist slots won't be enough!
Yang Hui has also been quite angry.
For half of the 24 hours in a day, she is filled with rage, so much so that her mammary glands are blocked.
The only thing that can make her feel a trace of comfort is:
This anger she suffered was not in vain.
"We must have caused Dream Builder a huge trouble. Xu Meng must be even more angry than me! Even more restless!"
The source of her driving force is a kind of destructive desire for "mutual destruction."
Whenever she thinks of Xu Meng sitting in his office, frowning, hating her and gnashing his teeth but being helpless, she gains the power to continue fighting.
She has always believed this.
Even if Dream Builder has not responded to them or taken any countermeasures, but simply promotes its own plans step by step, she believes that it is not that Dream Builder does not want to fight back, but that it has no way to fight back.
Until now—
She saw the video released by Xu Meng on P station.
Xu Meng not only had the time to temporarily create a brand new and complex game prop, but even had the mood to personally come out to have fun! To create program effects!
Yang Hui watched Xu Meng humming and waving a flower on the screen, and immediately broke down.
She picked up the keyboard and started furiously spraying!
But this time, she figured out one thing:
Simply criticizing "Frost \u0026 Snow Project" for being vulgar, lewd, and objectifying women is meaningless.
Because Dream Builder doesn't care.
The target users of this game don't care either.
After reporting it to no avail, their criticism of this game is equivalent to indirectly helping to advertise it.
"Since the mature 'Frost \u0026 Snow Project' can't be criticized, what about 'War of Kings'? !"
Yang Hui, in a fit of rage, shifted her target—
"Trash companies can only make trash games that sell soft pornography, how can they be worthy of making masterpieces?"
"A real masterpiece requires an experienced team, first-class technical foundation, a rich library of art materials, and unique gameplay…"
"Large-scale online multiplayer games also require extremely strong numerical control capabilities, long-term operational capabilities, and industrial production capabilities."
"And Dream Builder has none of these!"
"I have been the art director at Dream Builder since its inception. I know very well: this company is just a makeshift team! It has no ability to create large-scale projects at all!"
"'War of Kings' is a game destined to fail!"
"Abandonment is its inevitable ending!"
—
Yang Hui scavenged her years of experience in the game industry, looking for all the words and angles that could be used to fiercely attack Dream Builder and the new game "War of Kings" that was in production.
But she forgot one thing—
She tried to fight back.
But her understanding of games is just that little bit. When she meets someone who really understands, she will fall into a disadvantage in a few words, and even be asked into silence.
In the end, there is no way but to blacklist the other party.
But admitting defeat is impossible.
She still has a final trump card—
"Stop showing off your so-called 'knowledge', you only know how to talk on paper, but you don't have any achievements to show."
"Have you seen what a real masterpiece looks like?"
"I am now participating in the development of an epoch-making masterpiece."
"This is the next-generation flagship game of New Force Game Station. The development cost is close to 2 billion. New Force's first-party studio—Crossing Fire Studio—is leading the project. The core development team has more than 200 people, and the number of external teams participating in the development exceeds 800! And it has been developed for 8 years!"
"The same is true for service-oriented multiplayer games. A comparison will make it clear what kind of garbage Dream Builder can make in just two or three months!"
"When you are harvested by Dream Builder in the future, don't say I didn't remind you!"
—
Yang Hui's skilled comparison finally reversed the situation and she was no longer unilaterally crushed.
The information she gave was detailed enough.
Players with great supernatural powers easily found the game she was talking about—
《Concord Agent》
This game is indeed highly anticipated by New Force Game Station, and it has entered the final stage of development and will soon be tested before its release.
The media reputation seems to be very good!
The so-called facts speak louder than words.
After Yang Hui presented the argument that she was participating in the development of an "epoch-making masterpiece", netizens were indeed not easy to attack her from a "professional" perspective.
If you keep nagging, you will only be blocked by Yang Hui with one sentence:
"Are you more professional than New Force Game Station and Crossing Fire Studio?"
The questioner was so suffocated that he could only pretend not to see it.
The two sides couldn't argue anymore, and the conflict subsided temporarily.
— But this is just an intermission, definitely not the end.
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ is ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!
However, after Yang Hui did so much, what she looked forward to most was Dream Builder—especially Xu Meng's reaction.
But she waited for a long time, only waiting for one thing—
In the Red Team column of the Blazing Flame Confrontation, 16 more names appeared at once!
Unlike the fancy IDs of the Blue Team's game streamers and professional players, the Red Team's retired soldiers all have proper real names, so normal that they don't look like they are participating in a game competition.
Apart from this, Dream Builder made no other movement.
Yang Hui was very disappointed.
……
The overseas DEI organization was also very disappointed.
As the headquarters of DEI, Super Baby Incorporated, after discovering that the public opinion offensive was almost ineffective—Softower Company turned a deaf ear, and Dream Builder did not contact them to request diversification guidance, they once again launched two big moves:
Media scoring and voice actor strike.
Since "Frost \u0026 Snow Project" has been launched, it cannot escape the scoring of game media.
Since the English localization adaptation has been done, it is inevitable to hire voice actors to dub.
Coincidentally, they have considerable influence in both of these areas!
Under their operation, in less than 24 hours, the world-renowned game media [Imagine Games Network] gave "Frost \u0026 Snow Project" an ultra-low score of 4 points:
[The open-world map design lacks complexity, the exploration is generally uninteresting, and the puzzles are simple and repetitive]
[Too much krypton gold design]
[The character design is too large, and the aesthetics lack diversity]
[The multiplayer confrontation gameplay is not without highlights, but it cannot compensate for the serious lack of diversity and inclusiveness]
Starting with Imagine Games Network, more media followed suit.
[Screen Roar]: 5 points
[RPG Website]: 3 points
[Taku Network]: 4 points
……
One after another, 4 points, 6 points, and 5 points kept popping up.
The reason [Lack of inclusiveness and diversity] appeared again and again.
In the end, the comprehensive score of "Frost \u0026 Snow Project" only got a pitiful 59 points.
One point short of passing.
This result is really bad—as a reference, "Abyss of Gods" got 80 points back then.
Regarding this situation, let alone Xu Meng, even Song Zhicheng didn't care much.
— The rating of "Frost \u0026 Snow Project" in Xia Country has now dropped to , and it has not affected the soaring sales and making money.
However, on the third day, troublesome things finally appeared:
First, the English dubbing CVs of Tong Que and Huo Huo announced a strike.
Then, the English dubbing CVs of Vivian, Ning Xi, and Temoer went on strike.
Finally, even the CVs of the new characters Qing Ling and Ruo Yue announced a strike together.
The English dubbing of "Frost \u0026 Snow Project" was previously handled by Game Box, but now that these people are on strike collectively, there is little Dream Builder can do.
It just so happens that Dream Builder has a frighteningly high production capacity, with new content every month, which also means that CV dubbing is needed every month.
Now that these people suddenly go on strike, it will inevitably affect the normal update of the console version.
Song Zhicheng was very troubled by this and had to find Xu Meng to report this thorny issue.
I can't hold on even if I stay up all night these past few days, and I can only finish coding after 11 o'clock... Please allow me to adjust my condition a little bit, sorry sorry.
