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

"Since you're the deputy manager that General Manager Chen recruited, you should start with these simple tasks."

After glancing at the petite Shen Shi, Yin Qingying didn't say much. She simply handed over some simple and tedious odds and ends to Shen Shi to help her out.

Shen Shi didn't pick and choose; being new to the place, she focused on getting familiar with the situation first.

Nodding, Shen Shi accepted the task assigned by Yin Qingying and quickly got to work.

Yin Qingying glanced at Shen Shi working diligently and nodded almost imperceptibly.

Although she appeared cold and aloof, she was actually quite satisfied with Shen Shi as her deputy.

At least, from now on, she will have someone to help her with small tasks such as making reports, supervising employees' work, and compiling welfare statistics.

Meanwhile, within Starcard's Product Development Department 4.

Due to the inability to recruit enough staff in a short period of time, the fourth division was forced to stop the development of Escape from Chicken and devote all its efforts to the development of Terraria version 1.4, while the third division of product development was working on the international version of Terraria.

And then, a dramatic scene unfolded.

The international version of Terraria had only been completed for a short time when the new version 1.4 was also completed.

However, it still needs to go through the product development department three to add version 1.4 to the international server.

"Mr. Chen, do you want to release version 1.4 domestically first, and then release it on the international server; or wait a few days and release both simultaneously?"

Looking up at Chen Dong standing beside him, Xiao Qin, the team leader of the third product development department, asked in confusion.

He was just someone who got things done; the specific decision-making and arrangements were entirely at Chen Dong's behest.

Chen Dong had already considered this issue and waved his hand dismissively.

"We'll release version 1.4 domestically first, then internationally. We're a domestic game developer, what's wrong with giving our own players a little privilege!"

Generally speaking, the release date and update schedule of a game in different regions are often influenced by the game developer's nationality.

Domestic gamers are often the first to experience the latest game content, while gamers from other countries have to wait for international server updates.

In the past, Chinese players were usually the ones waiting, but now the situation has reversed.

"yes!"

Without the slightest question, Xiao Qin immediately carried out Chen Dong's order.

"Mr. Chen, we should be able to launch version 1.4 before we leave work tonight!"

Seeing Xiao Qin's spirited demeanor, Chen Dong didn't say anything, but instead smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

At 6 PM, when the update announcement for Terraria version 1.4 was released, the Chinese gaming community was immediately abuzz.

Not only because Terraria has been updated with a lot of new content, but more importantly, StarCard Games broke with tradition and did not choose to launch the new version globally at the same time, but instead brought the new version to domestic players to try it out first.

It feels so good to be treated specially!

"Great job, Starcard! Finally, a Chinese game company has turned the tables on us!"

"China has already risen, but some people still want to kneel down. Only Star Card Games fired the first shot in the counterattack!"

"Starcard loyalty! From now on, I'll blindly support any game produced by Starcard, good or bad!"

"Hehe, finally those foreigners can also taste what it's like to wait anxiously for the new version of the game to be released."

"I just checked online, and a lot of overseas players are protesting against the Starcard system, but it's all for naught."

"By the way, those foreign gamers keep saying they're boycotting Terraria, but Terraria's ratings haven't dropped; in fact, they've gone up. They're really just saying one thing and doing another..."

The average rating of Terraria on foreign eSports platforms did not drop as a result, which surprised even Chen Dong.

In his opinion, it was already quite good that Terraria was able to maintain its current score after this operation, but he didn't expect it to rise even further.

In this light, those foreign gamers who are making a fuss on social media platforms like X and Instagram are ultimately just a minority.

Looking at the Terraria rating displayed on the computer screen, Chen Dong stroked his chin and smiled silently.

"In that case, I'll keep you waiting a little longer."

Only through a long wait can one experience the ultimate joy upon receiving it.

Chen Dong had experienced this situation far too many times and understood all too well what players were thinking.

Therefore, he decided to postpone the release of version 1.4 on the international server for a few more days.

Neon, Edo, Konami Corporation.

Even as it grew late, Kim Jung, as the president, was still sitting alone in his spacious office, quietly handling his official duties.

"President, the Star Card game from China has made another move."

The secretary knocked on the door and, after receiving permission from Kim Jong last month, carefully entered the office, keeping her back slightly bent and respectfully handing over the tablet in her hand.

However, last month Kim Jong did not rush to look up. Instead, he slowly finished dealing with the matters on the table before slowly raising his eyes to look at his secretary.

"Star Card Games... launched in China... Terraria version 1.4?"

Last month, Kim Jong-un did not read all the tweets, but only glanced at the titles and roughly deduced the content.

As the company president, his time is very precious, and he needs to use this ability for some less important matters.

"It seems that this game company called Starcard hasn't figured out the rules of the international game industry yet."

Last month, a hint of disdain flashed in Jin Zheng's cloudy eyes.

"President, despite Starcard Games' defiant actions, Terraria's rating on the EC platform hasn't dropped..."

The secretary offered a cautious reminder.

"Haha, Takeshita-san, don't judge things by appearances!"

Last month, Kim Jong-il laughed and patted his secretary Takeshita's arm, startling him so much that he almost dropped the tablet in his hand.

"Although Terraria's ratings haven't been affected yet, this move is bound to provoke discontent among white players, and will likely hinder their efforts to boost sales later..."

To use a Chinese proverb, it's incredibly difficult!

Konami, as a long-established game developer in Japan, naturally has one game nominated for the TGA awards this year, competing with Jade's "Prince of Persia" and Starcard's "Terraria".

At this point, StarCard Games has essentially ruined its own future, allowing Konami to eliminate a competitor without doing anything, which is something to be happy about.

"Takeshita-san, come with me to our usual spot tonight for a couple of drinks. I've got a lot of good wine stored there."

"Eh..."

Secretary Takeshita was in a dilemma, as tonight was his wedding anniversary with his wife.

However, when faced with the opportunity to get closer to the president, he ultimately chose his career.

"No problem, President!"

……

Aside from Konami Inc. of Japan, the chairmen of several of the world's top game companies, whether from France, the United Kingdom, or the United Kingdom, couldn't help but feel surprised and amused by Starcard Games' self-destructive actions.

They originally thought that Star Card Game might be a tough opponent, but they didn't expect the other party to be a simple-minded fool.
