Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

Only then did I realize that it was actually true.

Then came a wave of absurdity and panic.

It's absurd because the contrast between before and after is too rapid.

She felt anxious because Weibo was her livelihood.

Subsequently.

Kuai Daxi then clicked on another announcement link on Weibo.

This announcement was issued by Ma Huateng.

The more Kuai Daxi looked, the angrier he became.

What do you mean I have nothing to do with penguins? And you still want to hold me responsible?

So I did all of this by myself?

She was very dissatisfied, and Weibo was not just her entertainment, but her source of livelihood.

Although a few days ago, he managed to get some money from the Sunburst copywriting team by deleting comments and criticizing players.

But our livelihood is ruined!

To make matters worse, when she received the money a couple of days ago, she bought a lot of bags and lipsticks, which brought her a lot of joy yesterday.

After posting the picture on Xiaohongshu, I received a lot of praise.

Now it has become a burden.

"No, I have to contact Xiao Jinhua. They can't just abandon me like this!"

The so-called "Little Golden Flower" refers to the copywriting team and one of her contacts.

She usually contacts this young woman on WeChat.

Unfortunately, the guy she used to chat with so enthusiastically on WeChat is now completely unresponsive.

So Kuai Daxi found Su Qin's phone number.

Hopefully, the copywriting team can consider that her account was banned because of their work and give her some compensation.

pity.

I couldn't get through on the phone.

After ringing several times, the other party simply blocked her.

"Answer the phone! Answer the phone!! You bastard!!"

Hearing the busy tone on her phone, Kuai Daxi was truly devastated. She turned around, picked up a small decorative ornament next to her, and smashed it against the wall with all her might. The sound of the ornament shattering echoed in the room.

"Are you trying to kill me?!"

"Fine, fine, I admit it, I can't make it here anymore, but you guys shouldn't get away with it either! I wasn't the one who made Lin Li delete his Weibo posts!"

Chapter 312 Who is the bedbug?

After finishing her tirade, Kuai Daxi immediately started registering a new Weibo account.

He started looking for his friends again.

They began releasing the chat logs from when the copywriting team first approached her on a large scale.

They even sent out the transfer records.

These chat logs are explosive, but the shocking part isn't the main point. The main point is that throughout these chat logs, the girl in charge of communication from the copywriting team referred to the players as "bugs."

easily.

Those bedbugs finally shut up, that feels so good.

Stomp on those vermin, don't let them talk.

These chat logs are so emotionally charged.

Furthermore, after Kuai Daxi deleted Lin Li's posts, she gained a strange kind of "fame" in a certain sense.

So she exposed these things.

soon.

This sparked a new media storm.

Many players who had begun to return to normalcy suddenly discovered that Penguin Games, which they thought had already quieted down, had new scandals emerging.

While complaining, "How can you still have new gossip?"

While still feeling sentimental, he quickly came over.

~~~

The next morning.

Scattered video conference room.

Yao Xiaodong, Yu Zhong, and Tong Xian sat in the office.

Unlike their usual relaxed atmosphere when meeting with employees.

Today, they appeared somewhat stiff, and the distance between them was greater than usual, as if they were high school students who had just been scolded by their teacher, filled with trepidation and unease.

On the screen in front of them, Ma Huateng's face was gloomy.

His gaze seemed to penetrate the screen, as if he could see through all lies.

Yao Xiaodong cleared his throat, trying to break the awkward silence: "Mr. Ma, this matter...we...we will handle it."

Before he could finish speaking, Ma Huateng's angry voice interrupted him: "Enough!! You're going to handle it? Handle what? How else do you want it handled?"

"Last time you reported that this had nothing to do with us at Tencent and was just the player's personal behavior. Now, they've attached your transfer records directly."

Ma Huateng on the screen took a deep breath, seemingly trying to suppress his emotions:

"You call players bugs? I think you're the bugs."

The secretary standing next to Ma Huateng felt a chill run down her spine as she watched Ma Huateng unleash his swearing.

Think about it too.

Mr. Ma had just issued an announcement, apologizing and shifting blame, and even arranged an interview with the editor-in-chief of People's Daily Online.

We finally managed to resolve this issue.

Just one day later, public opinion surged again.

Players who were mocked went on a rampage, spamming Ma Huateng's Weibo and various comment sections on Tencent Games.

Who are you calling a bedbug? I'm your father!

It's said that extreme foul language leads to extreme emotional catharsis.

This statement, though a bit... off, is indeed what many players would say upon seeing the word "bedbug".

Fuck you.

Moreover, the word "bedbug" is extremely insulting.

Plus, this was created by Tencent Games.

It's hard to say whether this is just the idea of ​​the Girls' Frontline 2 development team or an internal statement from Tencent Games.

then.

These screenshots from Kuai Daxi quickly sparked a third wave of public opinion.

This time, it's not just the Girls Frontline and Girls' Frontline players involved.

Many Penguin Games players also followed suit.

They may not know the whole story, but they do know that an insider at Tencent Games called players "bugs."

And this has already been confirmed.

That information is enough for them.

Once a hashtag becomes emotional, traffic and memes start to spread rapidly.

Large quantity.

Still playing penguin games? Watch out, you'll get stepped on, you bug!

No bedbugs were injured in this incident.

Memes like these started appearing.

The emergence of these memes has further expanded the scope of public opinion.

If you were the boss, you'd be furious if you were a project team that kept having problems.

more importantly.

For Tencent, revenue from Penguin Games is extremely important.

This incident didn't just affect a single game; it tarnished the reputation of the entire Tencent Games ecosystem.

Once the "bedbug" meme takes hold, how much manpower and resources will they have to eliminate its impact?

What's even more terrifying is that even if you spend money, there's a high probability you still won't be able to fix this stain on your reputation.

Ma Huateng grew angrier the more she thought about it.

"Alright, you don't need to explain anymore."

"Dissolve the studio directly and reorganize the project."

Ma Huateng's words were like a bombshell, exploding in the video conference room.

For him, this was not only a response to public opinion, but also a decisive adjustment to internal management.

They simply disbanded the project and reorganized the team, which silenced all public opinion.

The person is dead; we should respect the dead.

This also demonstrates the penguin's determination.

In addition, although Girls' Frontline 2 has invested a lot of money in its development, in Ma Huateng's opinion, the amount of money is still within an acceptable range.

Moreover, after the restructuring, its reputation might improve, and the server might perform even better when it reopens.

Inside the penguin.

There are many project teams that are cut short halfway through, or even disbanded directly after several rounds of testing due to substandard data.

however.

After Ma Huateng finished speaking.

The three people in the room were stunned.

However, upon closer inspection, the three people's expressions are slightly different.

Tong Xian's expression was the simplest: surprise.

Besides surprise, there was also a sense of relief.

Yu Zhong was completely dumbfounded and stunned.

He froze, and his breathing became rapid.

His face turned pale, and his hands trembled involuntarily.

He knew the situation was serious, but even if it was serious, it shouldn't warrant the disbanding of the entire development team. And most importantly, if the development team disbanded, what about him?

What is he going to do?

If he really gets kicked out of the company by Tencent, how will he survive?

Yu Zhong stood there, stunned, cold sweat pouring down his face.

~~~

Although Yao Xiaodong's expression did not change, the shock he felt was even stronger than that of Yu Zhong.

He wasn't worried that the disbandment of the development team would affect his work; at worst, he could be reassigned.
