Chapter 576 Sudden death! Heart-breaking and bone-breaking!
Since the first video game based on the vacuum tube computer platform was released in 1952.
The birth of electronic games has a history of nearly 80 years.
During this period, countless games were constantly updated and iterated like a wave, and game platforms also rapidly improved.
In addition to platforms, game studios and manufacturers from all over the world are naturally developing together with games.
Some of them are led by a single game producer, some are formed by three or five like-minded friends, and some are large groups with well-organized structures and huge financial support.
In the surging tide of this era, various game producers, studios, and manufacturers are ups and downs.
Some follow the trend and become the flagship of an era.
Some missed the opportunity and were swept away by the waves.
Eighty years of history is enough for a small game production group to grow into a giant.
same.
Eighty years is enough time for many behemoths that were once prosperous to fall under the wave of the times.
but!
Please note!
No matter whether a sapling grows into a towering tree or a tall building collapses and overturns!
Growth or decline always takes a period of time, a process, and a transition!
It’s been 80 years since video games began to exist!
There has never been any giant that was able to dominate the era, but it collapsed in just a short moment!
However!
Yunwei did it!
Cornick successfully made history!
Just overnight!
This huge ship with him at the helm collapsed and disintegrated in an instant, falling into an irreversible and crazy collapse!
The whole gaming circle exploded!
From peers to media, from media to players!
The unprecedented roar of conquest is unprecedented!
It seems that to a certain extent, Yunwei's "Eve of the Catastrophe" has indeed created a miracle!
A spectacular miracle where everyone in the game circle shouts and fights!
The first thing to bear the brunt was the uproar in the global game media——!
[SNG Evaluation (0/10): It is hard for you to imagine that this is a game. It is filled with a large number of shoddy free materials and filled with meaningless content. It is even hard to believe that this is a game created by the world's largest game.
The finished product produced by the manufacturer, the massive bugs, the boring game process and the unbelievable negative optimization all make people feel stuck in their throats. It is even difficult for us to define whether it is a game. After all, instead of calling it a game, "Eve of Catastrophe" seems more like
It is a carefully planned fraud project...]
[TTGame Rating (0/10): An unprecedented zero-score game, the biggest player in the history of the game in the past eighty years. If you haven’t bought it, played it, or pre-ordered it, congratulations, you have successfully avoided a terrible game.
A somatosensory disaster called a catastrophe...]
[Hummingbird Game Review (0/10): In fact, we were not planning to give "Eve of Catastrophe" a score. It is a real piece of electronic waste. The 0-point evaluation is to keep more curious players away from misfortune...
Just half a month ago, "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II" had just received a review from all media that exceeded the 10-point scale for a masterpiece, after breaking the ceiling!
The one that followed closely, "The Eve of Catastrophe", fully demonstrated his power as a top player, and with zero points from all media, he broke through the tiles on the ten-point system of media evaluation!
To know!
In history, no matter how stinky, no matter how crappy, no matter how unsightly a game is, it has never created an incredible spectacle of 0/10 in all media!
[Heaven-defying master Kaonik!!!]
To this!
[Turkey Flavored Crispy Rice], a well-known forum in the game developer industry with a forum level as high as level 18, commented this way.
At this time, the industry forums were already in a state of excitement——!
#5 Rat, rat, duck: Yunwei’s wave of shocking thunder really made me stupid! What the hell is the difference between this and a self-destructing truck?! (Lotus root shock)
#7 Gray Mist: As expected of a big company! It can easily do things that I can’t do—referring to the 0/10 rating from all media (laughing and crying)
#11 A small flame: Sapreis, Fuck! Didn’t expect that the real master is here!
#12 Don’t eat coriander: Cornick, let me explain your dream! We are just about to release a promotional video of the actual machine! When this thunder breaks out, I will tell you! Ah Minos——! (Rage)
#16 Bitter Polar Bear: Hahahahaha, I feel sorry for the brother upstairs. He has become a fraud even before he posted it.
#17 was seriously injured and fell to the ground: Yunwei really means what he says, and he really changes the industry environment when he says he will change it (dog head)
#21Yaxy: The industry is in an earthquake! Yunwei is so good! Vivendi is so good! Open the champagne! My evaluation is to increase the intensity! (Lotus-style laughter)
#34…
certainly!
In addition to the incredible zero points from the media and the uproar in the industry!
The strongest scoldings were undoubtedly the players who were deceived and suffered a huge loss——!
"Cornick, I **** you*! **** my ****! The whole Yunwei is a huge septic tank! It's filled with all your **** me*
***!"
"It doesn't matter, the game is just virtual, eating cyber shit is just illusory mental damage, but you, Yunwei, my friend, you are real, you'd better pray to the god you believe in to protect you, Allah
"I thought I had done the most amazing thing, but it turns out I had the most embarrassing thing..."
"Eighty-nine dollars! Pre-sale for eighty-nine dollars! Kaunik, you *kill me***! How dare you? Eighty-nine dollars is enough to buy the lives of your whole family! Mr. Zha!"
"Cornick, when are you () going to ()?"
"Refund from Geneva! Compensation! I won't be able to see Yunwei die before the end of this month when your code is tested, and I feel uncomfortable all over -!!!"
"..."
As we all know!
Among the three major sectors that make up the gaming ecosystem!
The ones that have a relatively small impact on the life and death of a manufacturer are friendly businesses.
As long as this peer company is not enough to cause a cross-class dimensionality reduction blow to you, generally speaking, criticism and attacks from peers are not fatal to manufacturers.
In comparison, the impact of media evaluation is relatively large.
After all, the promotion and evaluation of games are all disseminated through the media, so the reputation of most mainstream media can affect the rise and fall of manufacturers to a certain extent.
In addition to the above two major ecological sectors!
The last thing manufacturers can't offend is naturally the player base.
Because they are not only the foundation for manufacturers to establish themselves, but also the most critical factor that directly affects revenue.
At the same time, they also possess the greatest power - a magnificent force that, when gathered together, can shake the foundations of giant manufacturers!
And just right!
"Before the Cataclysm" won an unprecedented "Grand Slam"!
then!
This is an eye-opener for the gaming industry——
Yunwei used his actual actions to vividly demonstrate to global game manufacturers "what it is like to completely anger the three major sectors of the gaming industry"!
Have you ever seen a group CEO and other senior executives who ran away with money and were declared missing the next day?
Have you ever seen a company fall apart, with more than half of its core members announcing their resignation within a week?
Have you ever seen the stock price drop straight up and down, almost vertically to the horizontal line, and the market value exploded?
Have you ever seen a protest rally, where players signed a petition for refunds and compensation in front of institutions in various places?
Hey! My friend!
Now you see it!
good!
In just five days! An unprecedented annihilation storm destroyed and tore the once towering tree Yunwei into pieces with a devastating force!
It seems like it was expected!
The day after "The Eve of Cataclysm" was officially released (or maybe the same day), Bobby Cornick, who was the CEO of Yunwei Group at the time, and some senior management disappeared collectively, and there was no news!
The whole Yunwei was suddenly in turmoil!
Immediately afterwards, as its chief studio Firebird announced its disbandment, a vigorous wave of resignations also started from within, completely burning Yunwei's many years of accumulation!
And this is just a metaphorical "fire".
Yes!
In the early morning of the same day, Firebird announced its disbandment, triggering a frenzy of resignations and turmoil.
A fire broke out at the Yunwei headquarters in Los Angeles, USA, and it truly experienced a physical fire!
The cause of the fire is still under investigation, and it is not known whether it was man-made or caused by aging circuits.
Fortunately, because the fire broke out in the early morning, no one was injured.
However, the loss of property and important data it caused was immeasurable to Yunwei.
The reputation exploded! The top management ran away! The group was in turmoil! A fire broke out!
"On the Eve of Catastrophe" seems to be true to its name. From the beginning of the project, it has already revealed the brewing of catastrophe.
And in the midst of this chaos and turmoil!
Not surprisingly, Yunwei's stock price and market value, which had reached their peak in value appreciation, also fell into the abyss in an instant!
The cliff-like collapse that went straight up and down almost caused Yunwei's market value to shrink by nearly 90% in the blink of an eye. It perfectly demonstrated what a real "crash" is, and the financial market was in an uproar!
certainly!
With the complete collapse of Yunwei, Vivendi, as the parent company, naturally cannot escape either!
The impact of the market is overwhelming!
Under the violent turmoil, even though Prestige Di had a strong family background, he would inevitably suffer heavy losses and was given a heavy blow!
and!
In addition to the sharp drop in the stock value of Ontology Group, which can be said to be a serious loss of vitality, players' petitions for refund compensation also made Prestige dizzy and went crazy!
What a mess! What a mess! What a mess!
What a mess!
All hell breaks loose!
The sudden violent death and collapse in the blink of an eye caught Vivendi completely off guard!
For a time, the entire Vivendi Group was implicated and fell into a turbulent quagmire that was difficult to escape, like purgatory!
At this moment, Yunwei is like a piece of rotten meat growing on Weiwangdi's body.
If this piece of rotten flesh is not dug out in time, the fester will spread further, dragging the entire Prestige into the abyss of destruction that will never be restored.
But what if!
I want to cut off this piece of flesh that suddenly festered!
The heart-breaking pain that cuts out the bones will forever be engraved in the heart of Prestige!
It can be said!
At this moment!
The entire Vivendi board of directors, including Sarah Gascogne, the direct person in charge of Yunwei who once showed off her power, are all at a loss!
And at the same time!
Far away on the other side of the ocean, there was another person who was in the same confused mood as them.
A cute and cute girl with a bun and a pair of big black eyes, who is currently half lying on the imperial concubine's couch on the flat floor, with black lines all over her head——
