Chapter 1441: Shooting a stone in the foot

Paralysis! Paralysis! Paralysis!

Major game forums around the world were paralyzed one after another. Because of the enthusiasm from Chinese players, the servers of major game forums around the world crashed one after another. For a while, the global Internet community thought that a global hacker war had broken out. You know

, the huge data flow that caused the collapse of the world's famous game forum all came from China. Not long ago, due to the Sino-US plane collision incident, a "Sino-US hacker war" just broke out. Could it be that this time because of the "Second World" game?

Major game magazines around the world have collectively criticized it. Is there going to be another world war in the hacker world?

Suddenly, hackers from all over the world swarmed and began to search for anomalies on the Internet through various software, looking for "battlefields." For hackers like them, life is very lonely and boring. Only on the Internet, they

Only in this way can they find their own value. Although they are hackers, it does not mean that they can attack any website arbitrarily. This is illegal, and most hackers disdain it. Therefore, this time they face so many

The game forum collapsed, their "battlefield" came, and their moment came.

However, what makes Western hackers extremely frustrated is that after assisting the administrators of major game forums to restore the operation of the website, they discovered that this was not a hacker attack. It was clearly that the bandwidth of major game forums was limited and the traffic was too large. They were temporarily blocked.

It's just overcrowded. After all, no hacker would take such an idiotic method - posting a large number of posts (with different contents) to compromise a website. Although this method is the most disguised, it is also probably the most labor-intensive and material-resource-intensive.

The stupidest way.

What a false alarm! For the administrators of major well-known game forums, they are most afraid of hacker wars, so that their small and well-known websites will often encounter some unwarranted disasters. However, after the recovery, the administrators of major game forums all

I was stunned for a while. Because at this time, all the forums were filled with posts from players from China.

However, what makes Lin Feng embarrassed is that originally Lin Feng wanted to use the enthusiasm of domestic players for games to influence European and American players and let them enter the "second world" game world, thereby gradually becoming loyal players of the "second world".

However, although the enthusiasm of domestic players is unprecedentedly high now, and they are extremely angry at the criticism of the "Second World" by foreign magazines and media, their anger has not been fully realized. Instead, it has been transformed into various curse words.

Stupid, fuck, stupid..., and other insulting language. It is cool to curse people with these remarks, but this is not what Lin Feng wants. This kind of insulting language, no matter how angry it is, cannot be practical.

It helps the "second world" solve the current international credibility crisis. On the contrary, it is easy for others to take advantage of it.

Sure enough! When domestic players bombarded major global forums, including magazine websites, with a large number of abusive posts, game magazines from various countries also responded immediately.

"As to whether the 'Second World' will modify the difficulty of "Contra Online" for profit, we have always just speculated or speculated, but after the massive abusive posts from Chinese players last night, we can clearly understand

One thing is that the quality of Chinese players is low and unparalleled in the world. And we doubt whether this 'insult scandal' was planned by the 'Second World' behind it? But here, we can tell Lin Feng very responsibly

, You cannot achieve your goal by relying on insults!" Japan's "Asahi Shimbun" reported the "Insult Gate" incident on its front page that day.

All of a sudden, major media around the world rushed to report on this incident. After all, this incident involves the hottest "second world" in the IT world, and its chairman Lin Feng is even more of a topical figure. In the eyes of outside media,

If this incident was planned by Lin Feng, it would be interesting. They should write about it. And they must write about Lin Feng!

"Boss, it seems we have shot ourselves in the foot this time!" Wu Zhaopu said gloomily.

Originally, this time I wanted to use the players' "mouth" to change the external comments. I never thought that the players were a little too excited. What they said was not their enthusiasm for the game or their trust in the "second world", but directly scolded them.

European and American players are ignorant and curse the despicable behavior of Western game magazines. In the end, it is the "Second World" that suffers. Not only has the reputation of domestic players become worse internationally, but the "Second World" has also been unlucky and was

The "Second World" was accused of planning this "insult scandal", and its stock price dropped several prices from US$182, finally closing at US$175.

Lin Feng is also a little depressed. Originally, Lin Feng's idea was good, but he forgot to calculate that domestic players are very excited and it is easy to say some extreme things. Especially, the quality of players on the Internet

There is a mixed bag of good and bad, and many people like to follow the trend.

Lin Feng shook his head helplessly.

"It seems that this time, I was wrong." Lin Feng said helplessly. This time, he took it too much for granted. He only considered the good side of the players and did not consider the bad sides of the players. As a result, it brought trouble to the company.

"In this case, prepare a press conference for me." Lin Feng ordered.

"Boss, it seems inappropriate to hold a press conference at this time. I'm afraid the media are eager to interview you now." Wu Zhaopu said with a frown.

"Yes, boss. I think we should remain silent now and ignore these rumors from the outside world. That way everything will naturally become clearer by itself and dirty by itself. At most, the international sales of "Contra Online" will not be good. And

The development cost of "Contra Online" is not high. We can earn nearly 10 million yuan per month just by relying on the domestic online rate." Chen Xiaowei also strongly disagreed with Lin Feng holding a press conference at this moment. This is not for those who

Is this an opportunity for reporters to come and make things difficult for the company?

"Also, boss, as for the highlight of our company, "War of the Worlds," we can definitely learn from this lesson and start publicity around the world in advance to avoid suffering another loss in public opinion!" Chen Xiaowei suggested.

The "Second World" game has always been promoted through the Internet. After all, it is natural for online games to be promoted on the Internet. But after suffering such a big loss this time, naturally I will not make this mistake again. That is too stupid.

!Promote in advance and attract players in advance.

Lin Feng nodded.

“War of the Worlds naturally needs to be promoted, and it needs to be promoted with great fanfare. I want players around the world, no, I want people all over the world to know about the game of War of the Worlds. But for now, the press conference still needs to be held.

"Lin Feng said.

Wu Zhaopu and Chen Xiaowei looked puzzled.

"Do you think that even if we remain silent this time, those people will definitely let us go? You know, their goal is not "Contra Online", but "World War". They are afraid that "World War" will be too successful.

, and are worried that there will be no market for their future games. Therefore, even if we remain silent, they will continue to stir up trouble, constantly attack our company's credibility, criticize our company, and ultimately make "War of the Worlds" ridiculous.

China's war." Lin Feng said bitterly.

If ignored this time, companies such as "Nintendo" and "EA" will definitely not give up and will continue to hold on to this issue. When "War of the Worlds" is released to the public, international players will ignore "War of the Worlds" because of these companies' slander.

, I am afraid that in the game world of "World War", there will only be Chinese players. That would be the most ridiculous thing. And with only Chinese players, how can this still be a "World War"? It will become a civil war between Chinese players.

If there were only Chinese players in the game, it would not only greatly reduce the fun of "War of the Worlds", but it would also not be able to recover the cost of "War of the Worlds".

With an investment of US$1.3 billion, if only Chinese players play the game, even if each player invests 365 yuan per year (one yuan per day), if you want to earn back US$1.3 billion, you will need at least 10 million players to play in the game for three years.

Only in the "Second World" can the game production costs be recovered. If you include the game operating costs and advertising costs, it will be even worse.

Therefore, "War of the Worlds" must involve players from all over the world.

Wu Zhaopu nodded. For the sake of "World War", "Second World" cannot give in this time. Otherwise, if "World War" encounters a crisis in the future, I am afraid that the entire company will be implicated. You know, today's "Second World" stock price

As high as 172 US dollars, the reason why "Second World" can maintain such a high stock price is not only the amazing profits of its games, but also the outside world is generally optimistic about the prospects of "World War". Once "World War" encounters Waterloo, and the company

The debts shouldered, the stock price plummeted, and the entire company would immediately fall into a debt crisis. At that time, unless Lin Feng personally stepped forward and used his personal wealth to save the company, the "Second World" would fall into an unprecedented crisis.

This is by no means alarmist! Although the profits of the "Second World" game department are extremely considerable, don't forget that "Second World" acquired "amd" and "ati", and these two major hardware departments invest tens of dollars every year.

Billion dollars, but the profit was just flat last year. Once the company encounters a severe economic crisis, if "amd" and "ati" make a slight mistake, the company will be in trouble.

"Besides, when I launch "Contra Online", I must make money. Our "Second World" product must be a high-quality product and its reputation must not be tarnished by others!" Lin Feng said with a fist.
