Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

The image froze on the number column.

a long time.

He then turned off the screen and switched to the background of the game.

The figures of 7 daily active users and 2 yuan in daily revenue for Girls' Frontline are so glaring.

So much so that after watching for a second, Yu Zhong punched the screen.

However, embarrassingly...

The screen was so good that it flickered for a moment and then was fine, but his hand was bruised and sore from the beating.

but.

This pain also reminded him that everything that had just happened was real, not an illusion.

Faced with the powerful version update of Battlefront Girls.

The Scatterbang didn't even last one round, and the number of online players dropped three times in a row, from 30 on the first day to 14 on the second day, and then to 7 today.

With nearly ten million registered accounts, there are only 7 daily active users.

It's like a joke.

But it actually happened.

Even more terrifying than the disastrous failure of daily active users was the complete suppression of public opinion.

On the same day that Girls Frontline received a major update.

In various Girls' Frontline communities, comments comparing the events of the two games have appeared.

This is actually quite normal.

Because the themes of the two are similar, just like when Kantai Collection R came out, some people compared Kantai Collection R with Kantai Collection C, and when Azur Lane first came out, some people compared it with Kantai Collection R.

Not to mention, Yu Zhong's previous outrageous remarks and mockery of the frontline girls are still fresh in everyone's mind.

Now the tide has turned.

Players of Girls Frontline will naturally make comparisons.

This contrast.

The huge differences between the two are thus fully exposed.

Leaving aside the cutscenes of Battlefront Girls and the visuals enhanced by the new engine.

Just look at the plot.

The text differences between the two versions are worlds apart.

The commander of the girls on the front lines is a true tough guy, personally going to the front lines and charging into enemy camps alone.

In contrast, the commanders in Sunburst's works are indecisive and fail at crucial moments in the story.

On the other hand, the commander of the Battlefront Girls is a hero commander of humanity.

Girls' Frontline is merely a subsidiary of a military contractor.

Of course, this is just a difference in the game's character settings.

There is no inherent superiority or inferiority.

But the most crucial element is the interaction between the player and the humanoid character in both games.

The contrast is just too stark.

Due to the changes in the timeline, many of the core members of Sunburst resigned, and with numerous online trolls deliberately confusing the public, Sunburst's copywriting became far more unrestrained than in its previous life.

In terms of specific plot points, this means there's more description of the androids' own lives.

The copywriting for Girls' Frontline was already quite unrestrained.

For example, the wedding vow text for the popular humanoid character Vector is quite strange.

First, Vector's wedding dress skin is named "Blind Believer".

Secondly, the dialogue for the wedding dress skin is also full of eeriness.

I can't understand it. It's just a wedding dress; it's pathetic to imbue it with so much meaning.

Commander, even if you say that... it won't turn a fake performance into reality.

Those who knew would think she was wearing a wedding dress, but those who didn't would think she was going to a funeral.

Even though Vector's character in the game is one who is very wary, after spending so much time with the player, and even with their affection level maxed out, he still manages to win over the player.

The lines in the design of the Scattershot skin, as well as the name of the skin, inevitably make people feel that there is something else going on.

In the past, these things were completely suppressed by the fact that Girls' Frontline had no competitors and that Yu Zhong used a hardcore, non-panic slogan, along with a high-intensity campaign of deleting posts, to completely cover up public opinion.

But in this world, things have changed.

past life.

What Yu Zhong came up with was a hard candy with a chocolate coating that tasted like a defense.

Many players had no choice but to ignore the defenses and try to retrieve the chocolate inside.

Many players were initially attracted by the chocolate on the surface, only to discover Yu Zhong's hidden features later in the game.

Therefore, a lot of emotions, energy and money were wasted.

But in this world timeline.

What Lin Li presented, however, was a genuine cream chocolate cake.

Comparing the two, aside from those unlucky souls who didn't see the cream chocolate cake, or those with truly unique tastes, it's clear that...

There's really no suspense about who to choose.

Under such circumstances, it's already incredibly fortunate that Yu Zhong was able to hold on for three more days.

The players who are still sticking with the game now actually have little to do with Yu Zhong.

It's simply Tencent's usual marketing strategy.

Many casual gamers don't use Bilibili or Weibo, and they don't pay much attention to outside news.

Therefore, the response is relatively slow.

But obviously.

These people alone cannot support the normal operation of a game.

Moreover, as the influence of Battlefront Girls grows, there will only be fewer and fewer such players.

If a normal person were in Yu Zhong's current situation...

They might start thinking about how to break the deadlock.

However, Yu Zhong is not a normal person.

Although he was still refreshing the screen and looking at the data as if he was thinking about something, his mind was actually blank at that moment.

To put it simply.

They were completely stunned.

Yu Zhong closed the background app and then opened Weibo.

Then he discovered that both the official Weibo accounts of Girls' Frontline and Sanbaku were involved.

There are a lot of comments.

Almost all the comments mentioned that name.

"The arrogant Mr. Yu Zhong? Let's see what the real game is like."

"Didn't you say you'd just touch the product? What, the frontline girl touched you and you're gone? You're way too fragile."

"Mr. Yu Zhongmeima, what's your opinion on the major version of Battlefront Girls?"

Did Yu Zhong apologize today? No.

"You can keep playing with Del, I'm going to live my own life with the girls on the front lines!"

Upon seeing these sarcastic remarks, Yu Zhong's veins bulged.

He completely forgot how he mocked Spark Games during Stan's live stream just a few days ago.

I just felt that these words in front of me were so offensive.

But that's just how the world is.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.

Just a few days ago, he was spending Tencent's money lavishly, and some media even praised him as a pillar of the domestic ACG mobile game industry.

but now.

Given the current situation of the spread bombs, are they the mainstay?

However, even though reality is already so cruel.

Yu Zhong was still not defeated.

As everyone knows, besides liking to play dead when faced with a crisis, Yu Zhong also has another characteristic: he's stubborn.

Players mocked him for using special features in the game to make money.

He then pulled out a theory of protecting the weak, avoiding the most important facts and mocking the players as idiots.

Therefore, even at this point in time.

The company is on the verge of collapse, and its performance-based agreement with Tencent is about to fail, with online users and business revenue declining.

But this didn't stop Yu Zhong from continuing to be defiant in his blog posts.

This wasn't the first time he'd done something like this.

He even had a separate Weibo account so he could enjoy playing against other players.

"The success of some games is just a fluke. They take a third-rate sci-fi movie script and mess around with it. I could write a dozen of those garbage storylines a day. I don't know what some people are so proud of."

"High sales mean a good game? So, does that mean there are no good indie games? Just because I mentioned Battlefront Girls, you're going to keep picking on me?"

"I'll just say it here: the story of Battlefront Girls is a trashy wish-fulfillment novel. Players who like Battlefront Girls are all out of their minds."

"Besides, even if this game fails, the investment I received from Tencent is more money than you've ever seen in your entire lives. I advise these brainless players to shut their mouths and stop worrying about things that don't concern them, you losers."

After venting my anger.

Yu Zhong felt much more comfortable.

But he forgot something very important.

That is, before he started ranting, he forgot to switch accounts.

At this moment, he logged into the official Weibo account of Sunburst.

Not his private account.

Normally, the company's operations team would be able to discover this kind of thing immediately.

Unfortunately, after Yu Zhong criticized Xinghuo Games last time...

The operations team felt they couldn't manage their incompetent colleagues, so they took the compensation and resigned while the company was still flush with cash.

And these days.

The entire ScatterBlast was thrown into a state of "dizziness" due to the rapid loss of users and Yu Zhong's rage.

Everyone seemed to be working as usual, still putting in the effort, but in reality, nobody knew what they were doing.

The reason for the shutdown of the air-blasting system is quite simple, as it is the core of the entire project.

Every day when Yu Zhong goes to work, he locks himself in the chairman's office, neither speaking nor attending meetings, and he doesn't care about the development progress.

In this situation, who would bother with the company's official Weibo account?

Ever since.
