Have you ever made games? Then you should write about games!

Monday, the first workday of the week, is also the time when the city is at its most resentful.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Chen Dong had just entered the company when he noticed the joyful atmosphere that permeated the company.

Every employee's face was beaming with joy, showing none of the impatience or despair that a typical worker should have towards their job.

Upon seeing Chen Dong's arrival, she stood up with a smile to greet him, making Chen Dong feel as if he hadn't woken up yet.

It wasn't until the employee closest to Chen Dong revealed the reason.

"Mr. Chen, 'Devil's Roulette' has risen to third place on the popularity charts. If this trend continues, it's very likely to take first place at this year's Developer Festival!"

For the company's employees, the game, which they worked hard for seven days and consumed countless cups of coffee, tea, and chocolate to create, is undoubtedly a very rewarding achievement to have it do so well at the developer festival.

Not only will it add to one's resume, but it will also earn the bonus that Chen Dong had previously promised.

No wonder they were able to return to work with smiles on their faces on Monday.

Chen Dong wasn't the type of boss to spoil the fun, so he went along with the conversation and made a promise.

"As long as Devil Roulette can maintain its position in the top three by the end of the developer festival, the promised bonuses will not be reduced by a single penny."

When they were rushing to finish "Devil Roulette", Chen Dong promised his employees a bonus of 100,000 yuan if they could achieve a top-three ranking in the game. This would amount to several thousand yuan per person.

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge cheer erupted in the company, as if it were about to lift the roof off.

After everyone's emotions had calmed down a bit, Chen Dong continued.

"Devil Roulette is just the beginning. Many more games are waiting for us to develop. We hope everyone will continue to work hard and create a better future together with StarCard!"

Encouraged by Chen Dong, everyone cheered in unison again, looking full of fighting spirit.

Seeing this, Chen Dong couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile.

Although he had only a superficial understanding of game development, he knew that whether a person had passion for their work would make a huge difference in the final result.

Why is it that some startups can create a series of excellent works and quickly accumulate a lot of good reputation when they first start out, but as the company grows, they find it difficult to replicate the previous high-quality works, leading to a gradual collapse of their reputation?

It's simply that the people within the company have changed; they no longer treat the products they make with the same pure passion and enthusiasm.

This is the kind of ending Chen Dong doesn't want to see.

Back in his office, the first thing Chen Dong did upon turning on his computer was to check the novel's data.

In just two days, the number of favorites rose to three thousand, and the number of reads exceeded five hundred.

As for the novel's plot, it progresses to the point where the male protagonist faces skepticism, being deemed incapable of creating a work as excellent as "Devil's Roulette."

Instead of proving himself, the protagonist decided to release another equally excellent game to fiercely refute all the doubts, in response to the public opinion secretly stirred up by Manager Fang.

However, Chen Dong was unable to decide which game to choose.

The main problem is that there are just too many excellent games on Earth, making it difficult for him to choose.

Just as Chen Dong was having a headache over this, he heard two knocks on the door.

"Please come in."

"Mr. Chen, after two days of buzz over the weekend, with the popularity and discussion surrounding 'Devil's Roulette' and the company, it's time to execute that plan."

Without wasting words, Yin Qingying handed Chen Dong a document and got straight to the point.

After quickly flipping through the documents, Chen Dong nodded slightly and agreed to Yin Qingying's suggestion.

Even before the development festival began, he and Yin Qingying devised a plan to deal with Sun Dan.

Before leaving, Sun Dan not only took three programmers with him, but also deleted all traces of the development of "Yanduyu" from the company's computers.

Therefore, it is difficult to hold Sun Dan accountable through legal means alone.

Furthermore, with Tengyan, a leading company in the industry, protecting them, rashly guiding public opinion could very well have the opposite effect.

Now, Chen Dong has not only released a high-quality game, but has also gained considerable popularity and discussion online, clearly indicating that it is the best time to execute his plan.

After confirming the details one last time, Yin Qingying quickly left the office, preparing to send the highly topical news of Tengyan Network's alleged theft to various media outlets, online bloggers, gaming enthusiasts, and other influential individuals or organizations.

Watching Yin Qingying's departing figure, Chen Dong could already imagine the public relations team of Tengyan Networks being overwhelmed with trouble while dealing with this matter.

Sun Dan, and the product development manager who recruited him to Tengyan Network, were also feeling panicked.

Then, Chen Dong called another employee into his office.

He had a good relationship with one of the departing programmers, and by having him act as an intermediary, he might be able to win over and divide Sun Dan's team.

Of course, this is also part of the plan.

That afternoon, driven by Chen Dong, a piece of news quickly went viral and became a trending topic.

[Shocking! A leading company in the gaming industry is suspected of theft!!!]

Although the article does not explicitly name the company, it subtly points the finger at "Yanduyu" and its parent company, Tengyan Network.

Tengyan Network is, after all, a well-established company in the industry with a considerable reputation, and "Yanduyu" is also ranked seventh on the popularity charts of the Steam platform.

As a result, the news quickly spread among gamers.

This matter has been discussed in group chats, communities, and even forums.

"666! I didn't expect Teng Yan to have become so lame after not seeing him for a while!"

"When Teng Yan makes a move, he doesn't hesitate to strike, but when he does, he takes down the arrogant one."

"No wonder Teng Yan hasn't been able to produce any decent works lately; it turns out he's been focusing his efforts on crooked and unethical methods."

"To be honest, since Tengyan got a new product development manager, it seems like they haven't produced a single good product."

"Just wondering, does anyone know which company had its game stolen by Tencent?"

"It's said that StarCard Games was the one involved. Because of this incident, StarCard Games had to remake a game to participate in the Steam Summer Game Developers Festival, and they did even better."

"Don't speak recklessly. Let things play out for a while. Don't jump to conclusions before the official announcement."

"Oh, it's the rational Chinese guests."

"Sigh, you people just keep making the same mistakes."

Although Tengyan Network has not produced a single good work recently, netizens still remain skeptical about Tengyan's alleged theft.

The internet environment is a mixed bag, and no one knows if this is just another piece of fake news designed to grab attention.

Neither Chen Dong nor Yin Qingying were surprised by this situation.

They didn't expect to win over netizens with just one news article.

The important thing is.

This incident boosted the company's and "Devil's Roulette's" exposure, raising the profile of Starcard Games.

Furthermore, it brought "Devil Roulette" to the attention of more people.
