Chapter 105: Chapter 103: The King Bomb!

Translator: 549690339

Lincoln didn’t want to disturb his employees’ lives after work, nor did he want to be disturbed by them after work.

So he didn’t create a group chat for the studio from the beginning.

He was even relieved when he found out about the online drama today, glad that he hadn’t set up a group chat for the studio.

Otherwise, he’d have to comfort the employees as well while dealing with the internet noise, which was a bothersome thought.

But what he didn’t know was that there was actually a company group chat for Dream Cloud Studio!

Not only was there a group chat, it was quite lively too.

Today, after work, with the “Player Petition” heating up and Dream Cloud trending, the group chat was buzzing with activity.

Even the newly joined intern Camille was added to the group by Little Chun.

The only person who was clueless about the existence of the company group chat was none other than Lincoln himself, the big boss.

Dream Cloud Studio’s employee group chat experienced a lively evening along with the shift in internet topics.

First, the “Player Petition” topic was sent to the trending list.

The employees were only happy for a few minutes before they quickly realized the problem.

“We can’t agree to this, right? If we do, it’ll affect Mirage’s sales, right?” “But if we don’t, it’ll harm our reputation among players, won’t it?”

“This topic suddenly came up, it’s so abrupt. If it wasn’t so hyped, we could’ve just pretended not to know.”

“Could it be that some other company is involved in the hype with the purpose of suppressing Mirage’s sales?”

“It’s very likely, and thinking about it this way, there are only three companies with motives!”

“It’s most likely NetDragon’s doing!” Fred, in no time, accurately pinned the blame on NetDragon based on intuition.

When they saw Lincoln quickly taking action and pulling out a blacklist on the spot, the group cheered and praised him.

Then, Lincoln promised to release the game on lower-level platforms but found a legitimate reason to postpone the launch date, which made his employees call him smart.

But the cheers stopped there, as Lincoln openly banned some anchors from streaming Dream Cloud’s games, which shocked and worried the employees: Was he going too far?

After being urged repeatedly by the others, Randall had no choice but to call Lincoln, to offer advice and at the same time, to gauge Lincoln’s thoughts.

Underneath this announcement, players were already arguing in a frenzy.

“Is Dream Cloud really that domineering? Banning people from streaming their games?”

“Today you can ban these anchors, but tomorrow, will you ban others? And the day after, will you ban regular players from streaming?”

“We can’t stream the games we paid for? What, in the future, do we not only have to pay for the games but also pay an extra fee for streaming permission?!”

“Are you guys really this confident?! Not fearing that we collectively boycott your games at all?”

“Without players, no matter how good your technology or games are, what’s the point?”

Some other players, however, were siding with Dream Cloud.

“Open your eyes and look! Dream Cloud didn’t ban all the anchors, but selected a portion of them. Those banned anchors and their fans, shouldn’t you reflect on why this happened?”

“Some of the names are very familiar, always chasing trends, no wonder!”

“I don’t know the full picture, so I won’t say they all deserve it, but at least half of them, I’ve seen the disgusting things they’ve done! All I can say is, they had it coming!”

“Since the ‘Copyright Law’ allows it, it means this is a legal right. Why shouldn’t people use their legal rights just because the production company is strong and you trend-chasing anchors are weak? When you were smearing others by leading the rhythm, why didn’t you say these?!”

Of course, Lincoln wouldn’t let the players’ arguments go unaddressed. —This was the time to take a side!

Although Lincoln was still on the phone with Randall and couldn’t free his hands, it didn’t matter, as Mavis was still around!

The moment Lincoln posted the notice, Mavis was already responding one by one in the comment section, providing evidence that the banned anchors and video uploaders were not virtuous people.

One by one, the banned anchors leading the rhythm were exposed. Mavis compiled not only the incidents related to Dream Cloud but also their previous monev-crubbing deeds. smearing other games and various whitewashing statements, posting everything in the comment section.

And then, pinning the comments to the top!

No one can defeat me in my own comment section!

With Mavis’s strong support, netizens on Cloud Dream’s side saw a surge in momentum, slowly gaining the upper hand in this fight.

Gary watched everything, feeling anxious.

But all he could do was urge the Water Army to join the battle in the comment section.

Whether it was game media, Spiritual Rhinoceros’ big V, or other anchors and video uploaders’ accounts, once they appeared on Cloud Dream’s blacklist, they wouldn’t be able to leave comments under any announcements made by Cloud Dream.

They could only express their strong dissatisfaction and protest on their own homepages.

But as long as it was on Cloud Dream’s turf, not a single chance would be given to them.

The speed at which they got blacklisted was astonishing!

On Lincoln’s end, after briefly comforting Randall, he said to him: “Make a small adjustment to the production plan of ‘Assassins’ Alliance.’ Fine-tune the early-stage details until the Convenience store battle is over.”

Since Lincoln had initially set up the overall framework, ‘Assassins’ Alliance’ adopted an overall production mode.

First, there was the big framework, then, based on the progress of the story, segments of levels were produced and details filled in.

Finally, a thorough fine-tuning would be done from the beginning.

Now, Lincoln asked Randall to put aside the production of the final large level and polish the story from the beginning to the first minor climax.

Randall was surprised, “Are you planning to release the test?”

“That’s right,” Lincoln confirmed, “We don’t have the time to engage in a war of words with players, nor the need. The Internet is forgetful; as long as there’s more sensational news, these waves will soon pass.”

Though Randall was surprised, he thought it through and felt it was a good idea: “The production of ‘Assassins’ Alliance’ is not far from completion anyway, and the world’s filling is almost done by Little Chun and his team. It will be completely finished by the end of the month at the latest. The current heat is just right to be used.” “That’s right. But the testing part must not have any accidents.” “No problem, you can rest assured!”

After receiving Randall’s assurance, Lincoln hung up the phone and immediately began writing the third announcement for today.

Players were still arguing without a clear result when they saw that Cloud Dream had posted another announcement.

In such a short time, Cloud Dream not only updated the media blacklist but also issued three consecutive announcements. The first two were big news, and the third couldn’t be worse, right?

With this expectation, the players temporarily stopped quarreling and looked at the newly released announcement.

It’s a king bomb!

As expected, “Assassins’ Alliance Closed Beta Opening” became the explosive new topic that instantly ignited the passion of all players.

Before “Traveler of the Wind” was born, there was only one type of game in the hearts of players in this world – gunfight games!

Gunfights are the mainstream! Gunfights are sales! Gunfights are the top productivity!

If there were a game that could truly replace the position of gunfight games in their hearts, it would have to be another, even greater gunfight game!

And now, the first epoch-making virtual gunfight game has arrived!

What about anchors being banned? What about the media blacklist? What do those have to do with us players?!

All the players have only three things on their minds now:
