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

The following day, Saturday morning.

Even on his days off, Chen Dong still wakes up early according to his biological clock.

As an online novelist, it seems like you have a lot of free time. You only need to write enough words to update each day, and then you can freely use the rest of your time.

In reality, being an online novelist is a profession that requires working year-round.

While washing up, Chen Dong posted today's updated chapter and glanced at the comments section.

Since Chen Dong brought the three games featured in the novel into reality, no one in the novel's comment section anymore criticized him for being a mere whim.

In addition, many fans of Star Card Games also flocked to his novel and created a thread in the comments section.

The comments below the post were neatly arranged with the words "urging for an update".

In the eyes of these fans, Chen Dong's novel has become a means for Starcard to promote its games.

Once the name of a new game appears in the novel, it means that it won't be long before Star Card replicates the game in reality.

After washing up, Chen Dong ate a simple breakfast and then sat on the sofa to begin his writing work for the day.

However, before taking action, Chen Dong still needed to consider one issue.

"The initial version of Terraria is complete. Should we continue developing its sequels, or release a new game as soon as possible?"

Chen Dong rubbed his chin, somewhat unsure of what to do.

As for which game to redeem next, Chen Dong had already made his decision.

However, with the annual game development competition just beginning, Chen Dong prefers to invest resources in the development of subsequent versions of Terraria.

We need to produce several DLCs as soon as possible to enrich the gameplay and content, thereby increasing our chances of winning the annual game development competition.

After careful consideration, Chen Dong gritted his teeth and made his final decision.

"Let's put the new game on hold for now, and wait until Terraria is confirmed to win this year's Game Creation Contest."

After finalizing his approach, Chen Dong began writing.

To slow down the pace of the novel, Chen Dong had no choice but to give the protagonist a few romantic storylines and add some filler in the daily life.

They even started strictly controlling their daily word count, reducing it from eight thousand or tens of thousands to a minimum of four thousand.

For Chen Dong, writing 4,000 words a day is no different from taking a break.

Chen Dong completed the writing task in just half a morning.

I picked up my phone, and a trending topic appeared on the screen.

Which is the true world's first sandbox survival game: Terraria or Atlantis?

"What the heck? This kind of thing even made it onto the trending topics list, and it's even fourth place?"

Chen Dong clicked on it out of curiosity.

Although the author used this gimmick, they did not provide a definitive answer within the article.

As a result, the comment section of the trending topic instantly became a battleground for fans of Terraria and Atlantis.

"Atlantis is nothing more than a game that plagiarized StarCraft's concept. What makes it claim to be the world's first sandbox survival game?"

"On what grounds does the original poster claim that *Atlantis* is a plagiarized game? Based on its release date, I could also say that *Terraria* plagiarized *Atlantis*!"

"Is the person upstairs out of their mind? Atlantis is just a half-finished game, how did it become a rip-off of Terraria?"

"Tell me, wasn't Atlantis the first sandbox survival game to be released?"

"Terraria was trending even earlier!"

"Tell me, wasn't Atlantis the first sandbox survival game to be released?"

"Go look up the definition of a sandbox game. Atlantis, a game with semi-compulsory elements, dares to call itself a sandbox game?"

"Just say..."

"Say it, say it, say it, you're talking about the Bull Demon King, are you just repeating a broken record?"

"..."

Chen Dong quickly browsed the comments section under the trending topic and found that the intensity of the fight between the two sides' fans was no less than the Battle of Verdun in his previous life.

The discussion escalated from debating the game's strengths and weaknesses to personal attacks, and then further extended to the victim's family.

Some even threatened to send lawyer's letters, saying they would screenshot the comments under the post and use them as evidence of defamation.

As a result, the comments under the post not only did not become less intense, but became even more rampant.

Chen Dong, on the other hand, was like a badger that had stumbled into a melon patch, enjoying the food immensely.

This situation suddenly reminded him of two games from his previous life, which were also embroiled in plagiarism controversies.

"Terraria and Atlantis are practically Earth's version of Minecraft versus Mini World."

Chen Dong grinned, finding it quite amusing.

However, there is one difference: unlike Mini World, which has been proven to be plagiarized, Chen Dong cannot legally assert that Atlantis plagiarized Terraria.

Even though the two games have similar gameplay and art styles, due to the time difference in their release, even a discerning person could see that it was plagiarism, and therefore cannot be said that Tengyan was a plagiarist.

By the time Chen Dong had fully grasped the whole story, the trending topic had unknowingly climbed to the top of the trending list.

Seeing this, Chen Dong logged into the Steam platform and took a look at the comment sections of the two games.

As expected, both Terraria and Atlantis received a wave of negative reviews in a short period of time.

As a result, both games saw their rankings on the platform's popularity charts drop significantly.

Atlantis dropped from fifth place to tenth place.

Terraria, on the other hand, fell out of the top ten from ninth place.

Chen Dong was not anxious about the drop in Terraria's ranking.

He was well aware that, given the quality of Terraria, unless there was some insider manipulation, it would definitely win the annual game development competition.

As for the creator of "Atlantis", Teng Yan must be quite annoyed.

Shanghai Stock Exchange.

After seeing the online comments, Zhao Qin immediately called the on-duty staff member of Tengyan's marketing department.

"You should immediately publish a statement on Tengyan's official account stating that Tengyan has never used such a despicable tactic as plagiarism."

"Understood, Mr. Zhao."

Even after hanging up the phone, Zhao Qin's eyes still betrayed his anger and anxiety.

As the planner, he knew perfectly well that Atlantis was indeed a rip-off of Terraria.

However, the die is cast, and all he can do is refuse to admit it no matter what.

"If Atlantis can achieve a good result in the annual game development competition, it will shut up what others are saying."

After muttering something to himself, Zhao Qin picked up his phone again and called his subordinate in the department.

"I'm increasing your budget by five million. Continue to discuss collaborations with those streamers, and get them to guide their fans to support Atlantis while boycotting Terraria."

"Yes."
