This kind of persistent and annoying behavior leaves many players feeling helpless.
But soon.
With an official announcement from Spark Games.
It completely killed the game.
In the announcement.
Spark Games stated that the electronic agreement for selling tickets reserves the right to sue any third party that maliciously sells tickets and damages Spark's reputation.
Now, Spark will exercise this right to speak up for players against scalpers.
This announcement from Xinghuo has just been released.
Countless players gave it a thumbs up below.
Many players posted this announcement on scalpers' accounts, which was like putting a talisman on a zombie's forehead, effectively silencing them completely.
The scalpers dare to challenge players because they know that players can't do anything to them except talk back.
Just like those who buy concert tickets.
There are plenty of people online who criticize scalpers.
When it comes time to buy tickets, we'll still have to ask them for the money.
But this time, Spark issued an announcement.
They completely withered.
No matter what, Xinghuo is a company with annual revenue of tens of billions, and its legal team is no joke.
Even if we can't get them in, we can at least make them suffer for a while.
The announcement from Xinghuo (a sports betting company) stopped the scalpers.
Many players finally got their revenge.
Although everyone knows that even if Xinghuo does issue a lawyer's letter, it won't have much effect on the scalping environment in China.
But what Xinghuo is demonstrating is an attitude.
Moreover, this time, at least within its own territory, Xinghuo is clearly cracking down hard on scalpers.
Just like facial recognition equipment, the cost of such equipment is not small.
It's even a one-time use item.
But Xinghuo still invested in the player experience.
And when players were buying scalpers, they directly intervened.
In this situation, not only players felt great, but many people in the entertainment industry also gave their thumbs up, believing that facial recognition entry technology should be actively promoted to eliminate scalpers.
Even many celebrities and singers retweeted the post.
In China, scalpers are deeply hated.
Especially for concerts, due to certain interests involved, tickets are often sold by scalpers, and it is even possible that the scalpers are the organizers themselves.
Therefore, even though Xinghuo has absolutely nothing to do with the entertainment industry this time.
Many people still feel that as long as you crack down on scalpers, you're my brother.
Many people gave it a thumbs up.
It was under these circumstances that...
Many players showed off their e-tickets and made jokes about rejecting scalpers, saying, "Let's start with ourselves."
That means, you scalper want it, right? I have it here.
However, while making fun of the meme, many players noticed that at this time, showing off tickets could indeed garner some attention online.
Especially in forums and similar places, many users have posted electronic tickets afterward.
A bunch of comments will then appear.
The most common comments were urging them to go soon and start a live stream.
of course.
There were also those who felt envy, jealousy, and hatred.
"Damn it! This ticket must be fake."
"I wish you'd die of queuing tomorrow."
"If you don't record a video tomorrow, may you be childless and have no descendants."
Faced with these blessings, the posters often chuckle and scroll through the comments again and again.
Ever since.
What was originally intended as a counterattack against scalpers turned into a card-showing campaign.
Inspired by this group, that evening...
The question, "Do you have a ticket to the Spark Carnival?" actually trended on Weibo along with the hashtag "Spark beats up scalpers".
~~~
In fact, it's not just domestic social media.
Overseas, on Twitter, and even 2CH, there have been varying degrees of ticket-sharing posts.
The underlying logic is actually the human tendency to show off.
However, regardless of the circumstances, these actions of showing off tickets have undeniably made the Spark Carnival more mainstream, and along with the Spark Carnival, several games have also gained wider recognition.
Among them, "Girls' Frontline: Siege," which features cute girls and guns, is the most popular.
In the entire gaming community, not just the anime/manga fandom, most people who like shooting games also like cute girls.
Otherwise, why would every shooting game have various skins?
Therefore, when the trailer for "Girls' Frontline: Siege" was released, many domestic and foreign players who only played shooting games and didn't pay much attention to second games were shocked at this moment.
When did manufacturers start understanding gamers so well?!
This is similar to the release of "Sword Star" in later generations.
Before its release, many major game companies actually thought the game wouldn't sell well.
As a result, "Sword Star" easily surpassed 100 million views within 24 hours of its release.
Global gamers voted with their feet, completely stunning a large group of developers who like to talk about political correctness.
At this time, developers worldwide were not yet as proactive in selling their products in the way they would later do.
But a tendency has already emerged.
In this context, the release of "Girls' Frontline: Siege" showcased the beauty of black stockings, even though the art style leaned towards anime.
Many players, after watching the PV, were not satisfied and naturally searched for "Girls' Frontline," which led them to the anime series "Girls' Frontline," which has already aired three episodes.
Seeing this, some players who were starting to get interested in the Battlefront Girls anime immediately discovered that Battlefront Girls is actually an IP work with one mobile game and two single-player games?
Ever since.
Step by step, I began to fall into the trap.
This is especially true for those who are already somewhat fond of anime and are considered part of the broader anime/manga fandom.
This event, which went viral due to the sharing of tickets, allowed them to see Xinghuo and begin to learn about it.
Perhaps in the not-too-distant future, they will come to like Spark's games.
A manufacturer's growth and reputation.
It is through such gradual accumulation that it has come to be.
As for Tencent, which also released its Game Night event tonight...
Most players simply ignored it, or didn't even remember that there was a Penguin Games Night tonight.
penguin?
What's wrong with the penguins?
Game Night?
Oh, and then what?
Chapter 374 Carnival Scene
The next day.
Scene from the Spark Carnival.
The air in Qiongzhou is quite fresh in the early morning.
Sunlight filtered through the trees, dappling the square.
A gentle breeze blows, and spring is in full bloom.
The scenery is quite nice.
But at this time.
The people in the square had no interest in the scenery.
Huang Wenfeng is having a live discussion with his content creator friends in the square.
As a streamer for Girls Frontline, Huang Wenfeng had a very clear goal for this carnival: Girls Frontline: Siege. After learning that today's demo session would allow for 4-player co-op, he decided to participate.
Huang Wenfeng directly found the paradigm.
Strictly speaking, Fan Shi is not a streamer for Battlefront Girls, nor even a game streamer, but he really likes the Battlefront Girls anime.
Therefore, I accepted Huang Wenfeng's invitation and planned to queue up together later to try out the new game.
After the two of them formed a group, they found two more video content creators: one was Lao Liu, who plays shooting games, and the other was Guo Qingqing, who, like Huang Wenfeng, streamed videos of "Frontline Girls".
to be frank.
Huang Wenfeng's scheme was meticulously planned.
There are professional players like Lao Liu who can evaluate the feel of the guns and provide some relatively professional reviews.
There are also those who are relatively casual viewers, but who understand the format of Battlefront Girls, and can provide some content from the perspective of plot and setting.
And then there's Guo Qingqing, this great beauty, being used as a decorative vase.
In addition, he is eloquent.
This combination, whether it's for the live stream later or editing today's footage into a video, will definitely produce explosive results.
But before that.
They have another matter to discuss.
"Are you ready? When the time comes, don't worry about what you see, just charge forward."
"it is good!"
"Our target is the trial area."
"come on!"
"come on!!"
There are quite a few people who are determined to be among the first to try it out.
Although 5000 computers were prepared for this Spark Carnival, spread across 6 zones, there were simply too many participants and not enough available computers.
Moreover, for the streamers...
To get traffic, you must grab a spot as soon as possible.
The Spark organizers informed the content creators from the beginning that no one would be allowed to enter the carnival in advance, except for staff.
However, at the same time, Xinghuo also provided these self-media outlets with a separate entry channel.
In this situation, if they are fast enough, getting a position shouldn't be a problem.
