Chapter 79 Give the foreigners something good to eat

The streamer rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and only after confirming that Star Card Games was the official entity did he burst into ecstasy and make his signature fly-rubbing hand gesture.

"Nice, bro, this damn game is finally getting an English version! I can't wait!"

It wasn't until quite some time later that the streamer's excitement subsided. He put down his phone and turned his attention back to Terraria on the computer screen.

However, after learning that Terraria was about to be released on an international server, the streamer completely lost patience when faced with the dense array of Chinese characters in front of him.

"Fuck! Can StarCard please release the English version of Terraria tomorrow? I don't want to see these damn Chinese characters anymore!"

……

At 8 PM, in Su Tao's live stream room on the Cat's Claw live streaming platform.

After StarCard announced the upcoming launch of the international version of Terraria and explained the reasons for doing so, Su Tao, as StarCard's official contracted streamer, saw another surge in viewership during her live stream.

The number of people had previously remained stable at around 40,000 to 50,000, but has now surged to over 70,000.

Of course, most of them wanted to find like-minded people in Su Tao's live stream to criticize the foreigners' inconsistency.

"I heard that according to the original judging rules, Terraria could have directly used the rating data from Chinese players. However, the TGA awards judging panel, in an attempt to target Chinese players, used the excuse of questionable data to reject Terraria's rating data obtained in China!"

"If you ask me, those foreigners are just asking for trouble. Our mother is so powerful now, and they still dare to discriminate against us. Aren't they afraid that one day we'll deliver Dongfeng Express to their door?"

"There's nothing we can do. Our mother loves peace and doesn't want to fight, which makes these villains increasingly arrogant and repeatedly use petty tricks to disgust us."

"Sigh, when will China be able to host an international award? That way we won't have to put up with foreigners anymore!"

"..."

With more viewers in the live stream, the number of comments also increased, and the screen was filled with players complaining.

Fortunately, Su Tao was not affected by this and was not led by the audience to say anything bad. Instead, she focused on the game and planned to try to kill the BOSS that had been blocking her for a long time that night.

"Don't worry, guys. Even if Terraria only has half a month to collect data from overseas players, I still believe it can win Game of the Year."

While searching for materials to craft equipment, Su Tao didn't forget to interact with the viewers in the live stream, trying to answer some of the less sensitive comments.

Unfortunately, after becoming an official contracted streamer for StarCard, sometimes what she says might be interpreted as the official stance of StarCard, so she has to be careful with her words to avoid getting caught in a media storm or even implicating StarCard.

"I think it's a bit risky. Even if we give foreigners some good food, who knows if they can understand how to appreciate it?"

"That's not quite right. You can laugh at foreigners for their lack of culinary talent, but you can't laugh at their game development skills. While Terraria is good, there are many other great games from abroad that can rival it!"

"Tch, it's the 21st century, can you please stop licking your foreign masters' boots?"

The trend of the comments section once again slipped out of Su Tao's control, and even showed signs of gradually venturing into dangerous territory.

Fortunately, the moderators intervened, preventing the live stream from being banned.

"Brothers, let's just talk about game strategies and not get into dangerous territory, lest our live stream gets taken down."

Glancing at the number of viewers displayed in the upper right corner of the live stream, Su Tao let out a soft breath, gradually feeling a sense of pressure.

When there are fewer than 10,000 viewers in her live stream, she can laugh and do whatever she wants, even when it comes to sensitive issues.

When the number of viewers in her live stream exceeds 20,000 to 30,000, she has to start paying attention to her words and actions to avoid having her live stream banned.

Now, the number of viewers in her live stream is approaching 100,000, so she has to be careful with her words and actions to avoid inadvertently provoking the wrath of those above.

……

Meanwhile, some overseas game companies had differing attitudes when they learned that Starcard was preparing to launch an international version of Terraria.

Some people are deeply influenced by racial discrimination and do not believe that people with yellow skin can make a decent game.

Some people, however, were cautious and not swayed by racist ideas. Instead, they seriously considered whether Terraria could be considered a competitor to their own game in the TGA awards.

France, the headquarters of Jade Games.

As a leading company in the global gaming industry, it naturally has games nominated for TGA awards, and may even become competitors with Starcard's Terraria.

Therefore, the owner of Jade Games did not underestimate this game from China.

"Lias, go and look up information about Terraria and the StarCard game behind it. I want to see this information on my desk before I leave work this afternoon."

One of the founders of Jade Games, Eve, looked at his subordinate standing across the desk with a very serious tone.

The reason he and his brothers were able to create Jade Games and develop it into one of the world's leading game companies was because of their attitude of never underestimating any competitor.

The quality of a game itself is not important; what matters is the quality of the opponent's game.

He may not be able to make the best game, but as long as he can make a game of higher quality than his competitors, that will be enough.

"Understood, Executive Officer Ifre."

Secretary Rias nodded slightly, responded, and then turned and left Ifer's office to complete the task he had been given.

……

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Thanks to the concerted efforts of all StarCard employees, the international version of Terraria was completed five days ahead of schedule and successfully launched on major overseas gaming platforms.

Perhaps the pre-release publicity was done well, or perhaps many Chinese people disregarded the risks and chose to bypass the Great Firewall to support Terraria.

The first day's data for the international version of Terraria was quite good across the world.

It received ratings from over half a million players on the EC platform, with an average score of 4.5.

This successful start prompted all the employees of Xingka to cheer, feeling that their efforts over the past ten days had not been in vain.

Chen Dong then waved his hand generously, not only distributing generous bonuses to the employees, but also letting everyone leave early so they could go home and get some rest and catch up on the sleep they had missed over the past few days.

"Mr. Chen..."

At the entrance of Star Card Games, Chen Dong was about to go home when he heard Yin Qingying's voice behind him.

"Is there something you need?"

Chen Dong turned around, a look of confusion on his face.

Yin Qingying's expression remained cold, but a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.

"The orphanage will be renovated in a couple of days, and the director is planning to invite you to lunch."

"Sure, no problem."

Chen Dong agreed with a smile, quite readily.

However, Yin Qingying's next words completely stunned him.

"But... I don't know if you could play the role of my boyfriend in front of my grandmother. She's always thinking about this..."
