The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 176 "A true masterpiece!"

In the past two days, the Internet war between extreme female boxing organizations and dream-building players has never stopped for a moment.

Yang Hui was at the forefront all day long, fighting against others with high intensity.

In less than two days, her glimmer blacklist has grown a lot longer.

So long that the system prompted her:

[You have blocked more than 5000 accounts. Weiguang members can block up to 10000 accounts. Please pay attention to reasonable distribution.]
——Weiguang was worried that her 10000 blacklist spots would not be enough!
Yang Hui was also very angry.

She was angry half of the time out of the 24 hours a day, which made her breast ducts blocked.

The only thing that made her feel a little relieved was:
Her anger was not in vain.

"We must have caused a huge amount of trouble for Zhu Meng. Xu Meng must be even angrier than me! And even more upset!"

The source of power that drives her is a destructive desire to "die together".

Whenever she thought of Xu Meng sitting in the office with a gloomy face, hating her with gnashing teeth but helpless, she would gain the strength to continue fighting.

She has always believed this.

Even though Zhu Meng had not responded to them or made any countermeasures, but just carried out her plan step by step, she believed that it was not that Zhu Meng did not want to fight back, but that she had no way to fight back.

Until now——

She saw the video Xu Meng posted on P station.

Xu Meng not only had time to improvise a new and complex game prop, but was even in the mood to personally join in the fun! For show effects!

Yang Hui looked at Xu Meng on the screen, humming a song and waving her hands, and her defense broke down immediately.

She picked up the keyboard and started to rant!
But this time, she figured out one thing:

There is absolutely no point in simply criticizing "Frost Project" for being vulgar and objectifying women.

Because dream building doesn’t care.

The target audience of this game doesn't care either.

After their reports were ineffective, they criticized the game, which was tantamount to helping advertise it in disguise.

"Since the mature "Frost and Snow Plan" cannot be criticized, what about "Lord of War"?!"

Yang Hui was so angry that she changed her target——

"A rubbish company that can only make rubbish games that sell soft pornography is qualified to make a masterpiece?"

“A true masterpiece requires an experienced team, first-class technical background, a rich library of art materials, and unique gameplay…”

“Online multiplayer competitive games also require strong numerical control capabilities, long-term operation capabilities, and industrial production capabilities.”

"And Zhumeng doesn't have any of these things!"

"I have been the art director of DreamWorks since its establishment. I know very well that this company is just a makeshift team! It has no ability to produce large-scale projects!"

"Lord of War is a game doomed to fail!"

"A bad ending is its inevitable conclusion!"
-
Yang Hui searched through the experience she had accumulated over the years in the gaming industry, looking for all the words and angles she could use to fiercely attack Dream Building and the new game "Lord of War" that was in production.

But she forgot one thing -

She did work in the gaming industry for some years, but she was an artist and all the companies she worked for were second-tier gaming companies.

She is also a layman when it comes to buyout games and development areas other than art design.

So as soon as these attacks were launched, Yang Hui was seized upon by a group of people who disliked her and severely criticized.

She tried to fight back.

But her knowledge of the game is limited. When she meets someone who really understands it, she will be at a disadvantage after just a few words, or even be speechless when asked questions.

In the end, there is no other way except to block the other party.

But admitting defeat is out of the question.

She still has one last trump card -

"Stop showing off your useless 'knowledge'. You can only talk on paper but don't have any achievements to show for it."

"Have you ever seen what a real masterpiece looks like?"

“I am now involved in the development of a groundbreaking masterpiece.”

"This is Sony's flagship game for the next generation of games. The development cost is close to 20 billion. Sony's first-party studio, Duhuo Studio, is in charge. The core development team has more than 200 people, and the number of external teams involved in the development is more than 800! And it has been in development for 8 years!"

"Both are service-based multiplayer games. Just compare them and you will understand what kind of garbage DreamCraft produced in just two or three months is!"

"When you are ripped off by Zhumeng in the future, don't say I didn't warn you!"
-
Yang Hui's skillful pulling and stepping finally turned the situation around and stopped being unilaterally crushed. The information she provided was detailed enough.

The resourceful players easily found the game she mentioned.

Concord Agent

This game is indeed highly anticipated by Sony Games Station, and it has entered the final stages of development and will soon undergo pre-release testing.

The media reputation seems to be very good too!
The so-called facts speak louder than words.

When Yang Hui brought up the argument that she was participating in the development of a "epoch-making masterpiece", netizens really found it difficult to attack her from the perspective of "professionalism".

If she continued to press on, Yang Hui would only block her with one sentence:
"Are you more professional than Sony PlayStation and Duhuo Studios?"

The questioner was feeling very uncomfortable and could only turn a blind eye.

The two sides could no longer argue, and the conflict was temporarily settled.

——But this is just a halftime break, not the end.

However, after doing so much, what Yang Hui is most looking forward to is building dreams - especially Xu Meng's reaction.

But she waited for a long time, and only waited for one movement -

In the Red Team column of the Blazing Competition, 16 more names appeared at once!
Different from the fancy IDs of the game anchors and professional players on the blue team, the retired soldiers on the red team all use their real names, which look so normal that they don't seem like they are participating in a game competition.

Apart from this, there was no other movement from Dream Building.

Yang Hui was greatly disappointed.

……

DEI organizations overseas have been equally disappointed.

As the headquarters of DEI, Super Baby Incorporated once again launched two major moves after finding that the public opinion offensive was almost ineffective - Soford Company turned a deaf ear and Dream Building did not contact them for diversity guidance:
Media ratings, and voice actor strikes.

Now that "Frost and Snow Project" is online, it cannot escape the ratings of the gaming media.

Since we have done localization adaptation for the English region, we can't avoid hiring voice actors to do the dubbing.

It just so happens that they have considerable influence in these two places!

Under their operation, in less than 24 hours, the world-renowned game media [Imagine Games Network] gave "Frost and Snow Project" an extremely low score of 4 points:
[The open world map design lacks complexity, the exploration is generally interesting, and the puzzles are monotonous and repetitive]
[Too many krypton gold designs]
[The character design is too large and lacks aesthetic diversity]
[The multiplayer gameplay is not without its highlights, but it cannot make up for the serious lack of diversity and inclusiveness]
Starting with Imagine Games, more media followed suit.

Screen Rant: 5 points

【RPG website】: 3 points

【Taku.com】: 4 points

……

One after another, scores of 4 points, 6 points, and 5 points kept popping up.

This [lack of inclusion and diversity] reason comes up again and again.

In the end, the overall score of "Frost and Snow Plan" was only a pitiful 59 points.

One point short of passing.

This result is indeed a bit bad - for reference, "Abyss of the Gods" originally scored 80 points.

Regarding this situation, not to mention Xu Meng, even Song Zhicheng didn't take it seriously.

——The rating of "Frost and Snow Project" in Xia Country has now dropped to 3.2, but it has not affected the revenue growth and the money earned.

But on the third day, trouble finally occurred:

First, the British voice actors for Tongque and Huohuo announced their strike.

Then the English voice acting roles of Vivian, Ning Xi and Temer went on strike.

Finally, even the CVs of the new characters Qing Ling and Ruo Yue announced their strike.

The English dubbing of "Frost and Snow Project" was previously handled by Game Box. Now these people are on strike and there is little that Dream Building can do.

It just so happens that the production capacity of DreamZhu is frighteningly high, with new content every month, which means CV dubbing is needed every month.

Now that these people are suddenly on strike, it will inevitably affect the normal updates of the host side.

Song Zhicheng was very troubled by this and had to find Xu Meng to report this difficult problem to him.

　I have been unable to pull all-nighters these past few days, and it was already past 11 o'clock before I could finish coding... Let me adjust my state of mind a bit, sorry sorry.
