#163 - Mo Xiaoxuan's Revenge? (Request for subscription)
The post stated:
"The charging model established by Peach Blossom Village can be said to have rewritten the charging rules for urban game themes."
"Many domestic products in this category before were generally exclusive to whales who spend a lot of money, with in-game items being the main source of revenue."
"But Peach Blossom Village has personally proven that urban games with a time card system can also succeed."
"And that brain-hole-breaking, trash-talking shooter gameplay provides endless possibilities for the combination of urban and shooting themes."
"In addition, the game technology and artistic expression can be called the domestic ceiling for urban themes."
Amidst the surging public opinion, many game streamers and players turned into volunteers, spontaneously promoting the game.
Youyi Company increased its efforts to buy water armies and media commercial drafts, but still couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the players.
Thus, in the Huaguo game industry in September, a very rare scene appeared—
Boss Simulator was praised to the skies by various professional game media and big Vs, showered with various praises, and was about to be crowned as the new pioneer of urban themes.
Youyi's momentum in purchasing public relations articles was so great that it almost monopolized urban-themed games, but the game data continued to decline.
Facing Trash-Talking Life, almost all mainstream game media remained silent, but the online data soared wildly.
Trash-Talking Life was not mentioned by the media, but it received positive reviews from players.
Boss Simulator was hailed as a rising star in the industry, but its reputation collapsed.
……
Monday morning.
Shi Yi turned on his work computer as usual, and was stunned when he saw that the concurrent online users of "Boss Simulator" had dropped to 240,000.
At this time, the concurrent online users of Trash-Talking Life had exceeded 500,000, twice that of his own product.
What made him frown even more was that the rhythm in the game review area was a bit wrong, and everyone was criticizing Zou Zhongtian for not treating players as human beings.
Clicking on the link of a D station video, he finally understood the cause and effect of the matter.
This bastard actually went to the comment area to argue with players.
He angrily called Zou Zhongtian to the office and reprimanded, "Look at the mess you've made!"
The atmosphere in the office was as heavy as the calm before the storm.
Zou Zhongtian drooped his head, with dark circles under his eyes, and his hair was messy, looking very embarrassed.
It can be seen that the recent rounds of bombardment by netizens have also tortured him quite a bit.
Shi Yi sighed lightly. After all, he was a direct descendant he had personally promoted, so he couldn't really impose the maximum penalty.
"I don't care what method you use, eliminate the impact as soon as possible, otherwise if it spreads to the head office, I won't be able to protect you."
Zou Zhongtian's eyes lit up, as if he had been granted amnesty, and he nodded quickly.
After that, the official Weibo of Boss Simulator released a new video.
In the video, Zou Zhongtian appeared with a serious face.
"I am Zou Zhongtian, the producer of Boss Simulator..."
Zou Zhongtian seemed to be brewing emotions, taking a deep breath.
"Today, I am here to solemnly apologize to the majority of players."
He tried his best to wring his eyebrows and make his eyes moist, but they were still dry, so he had to look up and exhale to relieve the embarrassment.
"A few days ago, I responded to a player in the game review area,
What I said was very inappropriate..."
Although he couldn't squeeze out tears, he still symbolically sniffed.
"The wolf fur on the Frostwolf Studio is given to us by all the players, one by one."
……
In the video barrage, players complained one after another:
"Is this playing awkwardly?"
"Yo yo yo, if you really can't squeeze out small pearls, I suggest you use onions to assist you."
"Looking at your unwilling appearance, there is no sincerity at all."
"I still like your unruly appearance, please restore it."
"Boring, I want to see blood flowing like a river."
"He is not apologizing to us, he is apologizing for his lost performance."
The apology video was on the hot list of D station, but it was quickly re-created by the UP masters in the ghost animal area:
"Zou Zhongtian apologizes, but eats Luosifen"
"Apologizing while blowing feathers"
"Apology, but the director's cut version with a faulty teleprompter"
Looking at himself becoming the new popular figure in the ghost animal area, Zou Zhongtian had unspeakable suffering in his heart.
Especially a player's barrage directly stimulated him:
"Even if you apologize now, you can't save your reputation, because Trash-Talking Life is more fun than your game, and the charging is more conscientious,
More importantly, Peach Blossom Village desperately pampers players, and the plot is happy and healing,
But your game is always promoting the exploitation of employees by bosses. I can't relate to the boss at all, but instead relate to many employees who are working hard. My mood has become worse,
With this, you still have the face to mock Trash-Talking Life for being vulgar. Isn't your game even more morally corrupt? Goodbye!"
This comment completely broke Zou Zhongtian's defense.
Saying that the game is not fun is the highest-level accusation against the producer.
He came back to his senses and thought carefully. From the EASTJOY exhibition, it seemed that his project was invisibly being led by the nose by Peach Blossom Village,
Whether it was pressure at the exhibition, media blockade, platform traffic restriction, or vulgar accusations, he didn't gain any advantage from the other party, but instead ran into a wall.
Peach Blossom Village seemed to have predicted his prediction, and every counterattack was accurately stuck after his move. This combo was quite smooth,
And hiring a global spokesperson and announcing the time card charging model were even more desperate moves!
"Those interns who were eliminated by me are really taking revenge on me..."
His face was pale, and his unfocused eyes revealed a hint of panic for the first time,
A long time ago, he often had nightmares, dreaming of the interns who were bullied and PUAed by him coming to his door.
And now, these nightmares have come true one by one.
His fingers trembled, trying to type on the keyboard to relieve his emotions, but he subconsciously typed out the three words "Mo Xiaoxuan".
He was shocked!
Could it be that messing with his mentality was also part of the other party's plan? Is his embarrassing appearance of recording a video and crying to apologize now also within the other party's expectations?
Maybe, this kid is hiding behind the screen, laughing at him!
Just then, some Frostwolf employees were also peeking towards his workstation.
"What are you looking at? Don't you think you have enough work to do?"
Zou Zhongtian roared, glaring angrily, venting his anger on his subordinates.
After suppressing the restless atmosphere in the office, Zou Zhongtian clenched his pale knuckles, making a cracking sound.
He can't lose yet!
Once he shows any signs of decline, the employees around him who have been bullied by him for a long time will completely tear him apart!
Although he underestimated Mo Xiaoxuan and Peach Blossom Village, Zou Zhongtian was not at a dead end.
After all, although the data of Boss Simulator is not as good as Trash-Talking Life, as long as 240,000 online users are stabilized, it can be considered a product with medium performance.
As long as he is still Manager Shi's direct descendant, he can continue to stand firm in the position of producer.
Then, slowly find a chance to settle the score with Peach Blossom Village.
He really doesn't believe that Peach Blossom Village and Mo Xiaoxuan still have any backhands that can completely bury his career?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
……
On Monday morning, at the same time as Zou Zhongtian's apology video topped the D station's hot list, D station game UP master "Pineapple Ice OL" also released a video:
"Strategizing, Winning Thousands of Miles Away, Counting the Wonderful Game Business War of the Annual Dark Horse Peach Blossom Village"
At the beginning of the video, subtitles appear: [First Act: The Rise of a Small Workshop]
Pineapple Ice's commentary voice sounded:
"Speaking of the name Peach Blossom Village, maybe many players are a little unfamiliar."
"This spring, this company showed its first edge with an unknown little game "Cat Girl Paradise Adventure"."
"At that time, they withstood the pressure of public opinion from [Central Plains Five Editors]."
"And it is rumored that Peach Blossom Village relied on hidden breaking props in the grass to backstab Thomas and earn traffic."
"Many people also think that Peach Blossom Village is just a flash in the pan. Who would have thought that this is just the beginning of the rise of the dark horse."
[Second Act: A Swift Strike, Tenghui's Second-Dimensional Test Work Falls]
"Like all small and medium-sized game manufacturers that rely on brain holes and creativity, Peach Blossom Village quickly ushered in the first big mountain in the entrepreneurial period - Tenghui's Sharingan offensive."
"Faced with Tenghui's overwhelming public opinion offensive, Peach Blossom Village directly did not do any publicity, using righteousness to combine, and using strangeness to win."
"Relying on the innovative gameplay of leisurely island life, they achieved a desperate victory!"
[Third Act: Frontal Hard Gang, Drawing Bows and Shooting Frostwolf]
"If the previous two battles were appetizers, then the competition with Frostwolf Studio can be described as a wonderful meal!"
"Theme collision, the opponent is Youyi, which is backed by the Liu Group, media blockade, traffic restriction... The seasoned Youyi used many methods that were enough to destroy a small entrepreneurial team"
"But this time, Peach Blossom Village attacked head-on, catching Youyi off guard at the EASTJOY exhibition."
"Subsequently, through a conscientious charging model, a heartwarming operation with all players as spokespersons, and a brain-opening game play, it topped Youyi's platform's data fraud and pushed the number of online users to 500,000 in 3 days, becoming the undisputed king of urban-themed games this year!"
The video barrage swiped the screen one after another:
"Damn, the UP master explains it in an ups and downs tone, I feel so hot and so TM cool!"
"Peach Blossom Village is really awesome, if it were a general small factory, it would have been wiped out by Tenghui and Youyi."
Pineapple Ice's tone of explanation gradually became impassioned and full of admiration:
"And the one who played this series of exquisite Sao operations and turned various difficulties into safety is the helmsman of Peach Blossom Village, and also a very mysterious and legendary man in the game industry - President Lu!"
