Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

It's like having a big stick in your hand; it's very intimidating.

In fact.

Floating Cat's Weibo post did indeed cause an even bigger sensation.

Good guy.

Although Fu Mao's previous Weibo posts seemed "brainless," they were merely discussions about games, and to some extent, they could be considered as differing opinions.

But this time, the Weibo post was a direct attack on Lin Li.

This is truly something I've never seen before.

It should be noted that at this moment, Lin Li is not the only person present besides Xinghuo's boss.

She has another identity.

That is, he is widely recognized as the best game producer in China and even the world in recent years.

Even competitors.

They also dared not question the game development process.

Questioning this aspect won't resonate with players; instead, it will make you seem like a fool.

This is exactly what the floating cat is like at this moment.

Many players were speechless at her remarks.

"Is this really something a Chinese game developer would say?"

"That's incredibly ignorant."

Because it's so refreshing, many people are no longer angry at this point.

Instead, they viewed him as a clown.

Chapter 317 Doing it casually

Some people even shared these comments on Lin Li's Weibo account.

The replies were even more interesting.

"Investors who hold Tencent stock are advised to pay close attention to the stock market."

And even more interesting.

This was in response to Lin Li's reply.

Tencent's stock price has indeed started to decline. Upon closer inspection, it turns out that some financial institutions have indeed lowered their revenue forecasts for Tencent Games in 2019 and 2020 based on Lin Li's assessment.

Moreover, the wording in the report is quite interesting.

"According to analysis by authoritative figures in the domestic gaming industry, Tencent's flagship title, *The God of Destruction*, which it heavily promoted in the second quarter of 2019, has significant quality issues..."

It's at the end of the report.

It even included numerous reviews as reference appendices.

To know.

This isn't a report from a gaming media outlet, but a professional assessment from a financial institution.

"Wow, I knew Old Man Lin's evaluation was very professional, but I didn't expect it to be this professional!"

"Holy crap, isn't this considered interfering with the stock market?!"

"Whether it counts or not is another matter, have you guys seen Fu Mao's Weibo?! That woman has finally started deleting her Weibo posts, hahaha, it's hilarious."

"Yeah, yeah, a lawyer's letter? That's hilarious."

While people outside were singing and dancing on Fumao's Weibo account.

The floating cat is being scolded.

The reason she was scolded was because Li Weixi was severely criticized by Ma Xiao.

Ma Xiao was criticized because he was scolded by Ma Huateng.

This refers to the transmission of force.

That's why they've been criticized all along.

The reason is indeed the penguin's stock price and that report in the financial industry.

Penguin people don't understand games.

But they know how to make money.

"The people above are demanding that we apologize."

hang up the phone.

The floating cat's mood worsened.

She thought Tencent Games would support her, but instead, she received an order to apologize immediately.

The floating cat was really unwilling at this moment.

But I was still unwilling to give up.

We had no choice but to follow along.

Of course, anyone with work experience knows that there are differences between different tasks.

Fu Mao did indeed post an apology letter on Weibo.

However, this apology letter...

He basically inherited Yu Zhong's spirit, never mentioning his mistakes, but instead constantly expressing that he had been bullied by Xing Huo.

She acted as if she were the victim.

however.

This apology announcement hasn't even had a chance to have any effect yet.

Another piece of news came.

"Lin Li said in an interview that players who play God of War will die as soon as the game starts."

This is the headline that 1717 placed on the side page.

of course.

If you click on it, you'll see that the title is actually taken out of context.

Lin Li's original words were that if the game didn't make radical changes, the launch would definitely not meet expectations, and it might not even be able to continue operating.

but.

For the media and players, headlines like "1717" are actually more relatable.

It also better suits the players' mood.

Especially when the data from the first day was fully released.

The closed beta of "The God of Deception," which cost Tencent a huge amount of money, reached a peak of 70 concurrent users, which is enough to prove that Tencent's opportunistic plan and tens of millions of yuan in marketing budget were not wasted.

But by evening, the number of people online was still less than 10,000.

And a flood of negative reviews.

In addition, there was the verdict delivered by Lin Li.

Now, not only players, but also people within Tencent Games and even within the "Godslayer" team, all felt that Lin Li's words made sense.

If no changes are made.

It seems unlikely that the game will be able to keep its servers running.

"What kind of logic is this! It's utter bullshit!! I am the logic!!"

It is said that when fear reaches its extreme, it becomes anger.

The floating cat is in a similar situation at this point.

As the online criticism grew louder, as Tencent Games began to bypass her and instead contact the middle management to inquire about the project's progress, and as whispers began to circulate within the "Godslayer" team.

The floating cat finally got scared.

She was worried that she would actually be kicked out.

As a result, she entered her most irritable state, almost exploding at the slightest provocation.

pity.

What people fear most is what is most likely to happen.

Ma Xiao personally called Li Weixi, concluding with the words, "Trust the professional judgment of professionals."

The series "The God of Deciphering" underwent a major overhaul.

A new creative team will be joining "The Godslayer".

But there is also good news.

That is, at Li Weixi's strong suggestion, Fu Mao retained his position as a key member of the creative team.

“We won’t let her develop games, but we’ll give her a title. As long as she’s around, we can use her to generate buzz next time.”

Capital has no emotions.

There are only interests.

They decided to keep Floating Cat simply because, although Floating Cat had been badly beaten by Spark in this round.

However, they also obtained a traffic password.

It's quite darkly humorous that the reason Tencent decided to keep the "God of Destruction" project was precisely because Lin Li had sentenced the game to death.

to be honest.

If Lin Li hadn't said this game was doomed to fail upon launch, its performance in the initial test alone would have led to its immediate cancellation within Tencent.

Can be biased.

It was because Lin Li criticized the game.

This, in turn, allowed Ma Xiao to leave him a sliver of hope during the final evaluation.

Lin Li said this game is doomed, so when you launched the server, didn't you come to check it out? Didn't you come to see if the game was dead or alive?

To be honest...

Floating Cat should thank Lin Li.

Of course, Lin Li didn't care about these external discussions at this time.

to him.

"The God of Destruction" was just something he did on a whim, and when he posted that Weibo post, he genuinely wanted to use a negative example to warn many developers.

Anime/manga games are content-driven games.

It's less of a game.

It's actually more like an interactive online novel, because most anime-style games don't have particularly outstanding core gameplay.

And a content game.

If you don't understand the most important parts, then when the market develops further, you'll just be waiting to die.

In the previous life, years 23 and 24 were often referred to as the death years for anime and manga games.

With very few exceptions, among the anime-style games launched in the past two years.

Most of them died.

Therefore, many people have come out to say that anime-style games are no longer viable.

Actually, it's not that anime-style games are no longer viable, but rather that anime-style games lacking substantial content are no longer viable.

Most of the projects are just following the trend.

There is no content.
