Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

Hear this sound.

Lin Li felt the name sounded familiar at first, so he stopped in his tracks.

He glanced back.

"Which competitor asked that question just now?"

Faced with the doubts, Lin Li's casual remark gave off a strangely domineering air.

Yu Zhong also sensed Lin Li's toughness.

He's a bit of a coward.

Taking initiative to handle problems is not his style, but with Wang Guang holding him back, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and move forward.

Lin Li chuckled softly.

If Wang Guang had stepped forward himself, he would have been respected as a true man, but instead, Yu Zhong was pushed to the front.

But he still took two steps forward.

He continued forward.

Besides Kazuo Hirai and his Sony entourage who were watching the show, a large group of media followed them.

Originally, the two had nothing to do with each other. The reporter just followed Lin Li, and naturally followed Lin Li as he walked forward.

But this movement truly dispelled the oppressive feeling of a BOSS's entrance.

The surrounding manufacturers also consciously formed a circle around it.

Lin Li glanced at Wang Guang, then at Yu Zhong, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Yu Zhong felt a little uneasy when Wang Guang pushed him to the front, but he tried his best to remain calm on the surface.

Lin Li, who walked up to the two, did not directly answer Yu Zhong's question, but turned to the media reporters around him and said:

"Spark has always valued opinions highly, but as for Penguin's opinions..."

"Dear media friends, you can witness that Tencent will hold a press conference in as little as a week or as long as a month. At the press conference, they will take what I said today and repeat it again, and then claim it as their innovation."

So, regarding this...this person...

Lin Li paused deliberately.

"This Mr. Yu, who doesn't understand copywriting, caused the game to be a disaster upon release; he's bad at management, leading to a disastrous reputation; he has no respect for game development, is extremely arrogant towards players, has no management skills for his employees, and has such a poor overall perspective, yet he still manages to get a job at Tencent."

As the saying goes, you shouldn't insult someone by revealing their shortcomings.

But Lin Li stabbed straight into the lungs with each stroke.

If Lin Ligang were to say those words in this world, they wouldn't be very damaging.

But now, Lin Li is considered a legend among domestic game producers, especially in the field of ACG (Anime, Comics, and Games) games, if not an authority.

His views, his comments.

He is very influential in the industry.

Let alone Lin Li, even employees who left Xinghuo, like those who left Huawei, have a certain aura about them.

Even if they are Spark's opponents.

For example, if Lin Li accidentally reviews one of NetEase's games on some channel, it will be taken very seriously internally.

In February of this year, Onmyoji experienced a bug during the Spring Festival event.

The bug was caused by an event.

The event involves players using event items to randomly exchange for an SSR character.

This event has happened before. In previous events, because the randomness was entirely based on luck, it was naturally great to get a new SSR that you didn't already have, but it was very frustrating to get a duplicate.

So this year, during the Spring Festival of 18, NetEase added a system setting, the so-called BAN Shikigami setting, which allows users to ban SSR Shikigami they don't want to draw.

It was originally a good thing.

However, when the event was implemented on the day of the Spring Festival, two bugs appeared in this event system. One was that the banned SSR shikigami could still be drawn without any problems. The other was that Yama-kaze, who was originally impossible to obtain through this event, could be drawn randomly.

finally.

Faced with this bug, NetEase chose to roll back the game.

At the time, someone was interviewing Lin Li and asking him what he thought of NetEase's handling of the situation.

Lin Li was bored at the time, so he answered the question very seriously.

"It's understandable that there was a bug and the rollback occurred, but NetEase's compensation is still not good enough. Only five black eggs. If I were to make it, I would compensate players until they forget their original intentions and let them choose an SSR directly."

"NetEase's positioning of Onmyoji is still flawed. They still don't believe that Onmyoji can be operated in the long term and are still using a short-term operation mindset for operation."

"To be honest, this is still due to a lack of experience. Looking at the Battlefront Girls, in the long-term operation, appropriately increasing benefits at certain times may seem to reduce revenue in the short term, but in the long run, the users who stay because of the benefits are the most valuable."

“Every resource you give becomes a sunk cost for the player. Maybe one day, when he wants to leave the game, he will choose to persevere because the SSR he received back then is very precious.”

These words quickly spread online.

When it reached NetEase, it caused a huge stir within the company.

Furthermore, due to the Spark incident, players in this world were not very patient, and Onmyoji's reputation plummeted very quickly because of this.

In an effort to improve its reputation, NetEase directly quoted Lin Li's words on Weibo.

This demonstrates their determination to operate in the long term.

Finally, on the day of the Spring Festival, NetEase not only relaunched the event, but also held an extra event where you could choose an SSR character, although it wasn't a true selection, but rather a choice of one SSR character from several available.

But NetEase's move still made players very happy.

Reputation did indeed improve for a period of time, and revenue during the Spring Festival not only did not decrease but actually increased.

since then.

Players often urge Lin Li to comment on their favorite games.

Lin Li himself didn't care, since even if he said something, most of the production team wouldn't change it anyway.

However, since then, the industry has repeatedly emphasized the importance of Lin Li's words, especially in terms of industry.

Often, even if they disagree with Lin Li's views, they will hold a meeting for a day or two to argue their points.

Under such circumstances.

Lin Li criticized someone so harshly today.

Don't say anything else.

If Tencent were to kick out Yuzhong in the future, no manufacturer would dare to take it over.

If Ma Huateng were to hear these words, the level of trust in him within Tencent would drop significantly.

Even Wang Guang was silently pondering after hearing these words.

Faced with the sudden attack, Yu Zhong was completely dumbfounded.

"You!! Me!!"

He stood there, his face pale.

Yu Zhong knew Lin Li's status in the gaming world at that time, but precisely because he knew, he never expected Lin Li to attack him so directly in public.

He never expected Lin Li to be so familiar with his affairs.

The surrounding media reporters began to whisper among themselves, and cameras and recording equipment were all pointed at Yu Zhong.

Lin Li's comments will certainly appear in the news media afterward.

If Yu Zhong were a normal game developer, if Yu Zhong weren't backed by Tencent.

Lin Li's words actually had the opposite effect.

His position is actually not very suitable for saying such things.

If you're not careful, you can easily come across as being too harsh.

But the feathers are different.

His dark history is too numerous to count.

Not to mention that every word Lin Li said was reasonable and well-founded.

Moreover, the premise is that Yu Zhong started by mocking them.

This is the core and key point.

It's like two people arguing. If you were the one who spoke first and didn't win the argument, then it's your fault.

Chapter 397 Media Response

Yu stammered,

Wang Guang, who was standing to the side, saw Yu Zhong being reprimanded and sent away.

After muttering a curse under his breath, he still took a step forward and stood opposite Lin Li.

"Mr. Lin's stereotypes about penguins are too much. Penguins are creative, responsible, and accountable. The reason for asking the question is to speak on behalf of domestic practitioners."

"Is it inappropriate for President Lin to avoid addressing the issue and instead resort to personal attacks?"

Lin Li remained remarkably calm in the face of Wang Guang's second questioning.

In fact.

It started when he announced his plans.

He knew that major domestic manufacturers would definitely put pressure on him.

De-proximity is not a simple matter.

The cake wasn't just a piece or two; the whole cake was taken away.

For safety reasons, he replaced the security team at Xinghuo Building with a professional team last month and also hired bodyguards, all to prevent a real business conflict from occurring.

Although this is unlikely, since these major domestic manufacturers have long been defunct.

But, better safe than sorry.

As for penguins.

Amidst a multitude of judgments.

It is highly likely that after initial confusion, Tencent will choose the same path as the Spark platform. After all, Spark did not smash the pot, but rather redistributed the domestic food.

In the past, only major distributors were present at the dinner table.

Small factories can only find large factories to act as their agents. After the large factories scoop food out of the pot, they first put it in their own bowls, and then scoop some out for the small factories behind them.

And now.

Spark has been transformed into a canteen, where manufacturers line up to pick up their meals. Although the canteen staff sometimes have shaky hands, most of the food ends up in the manufacturers' own bowls, and it's fresher.

In this process of change, the only ones qualified to become the cafeteria are Spark and Penguin.

Although very unhappy.

But Penguin does have the qualifications and the resources to do so.

NetEase is also eligible.

However, NetEase is unlikely to get involved.

In other words, in the current market, if the penguin acts quickly, it still has the opportunity to transform itself into a canteen, not necessarily earning more than before, but its income will not decrease too drastically.

Linli cannot gain market share based on a single concept.

That's why he said that Penguin would plagiarize Spark within a week to a month.

Hopefully, we can use reverse psychology to slightly disrupt the judgment of Tencent's senior management.

If this statement can shake the resolve of Tencent's top management for even one more day, that would be a good thing.

After dismissing Yu Zhong, he really didn't expect that Wang Guang would still stand up and confront him.

As the person in charge of the WEGAME project, Wang Guang had no idea what the future held after hearing the whole story.

Surprisingly, penguins can actually walk on this path too.
