Almighty Game Designer - Chapter 49

“Where do these drama genius came from, adding new plots for themselves? If you haven’t played it then stop, this is obviously 2 different games. Who copied your 《Plants vs Zombies》?”

“I suggest that you go see an ophthalmology, the world view is not the same, is this still plagiarism?”

“Haha, having a slightly similar gameplay is plagiarism? Then I can also say that 《Plants vs Zombies》 plagiarized 《Mirage Tower Defense》 of Emperor Interactive Entertainment? After all, both are tower defense games.”

“What are the advantages of attacking mad dogs that bite people? I assume that your master promised to give you bones.”

“What is the actual strength of Emperor Interactive Entertainment? What about the developer of 《Plants vs Zombies》? Emperor Interactive Entertainment copied yours? Stop making trouble, I think some people just want to get some attention!”

“Haha, 《Plants vs Zombies》 is a good game, but it can’t be unreasonable, others can’t do this type of game?”

Soon, these 2 groups of people started fighting more fiercely, and each of them went to the player community to invite people, which eventually turned into a dogfight.

The fighting became more intense and the 2 groups attacked each other from night till late night, and by the time morning came, the war finally spread to Chen Mo.

Both sides were cursing and many irrational players of Emperor Interactive Entertainment directly cursed Chen Mo.

There were many similar messages on Chen Mo’s Weibo.

“Within 2~3 hours, hundreds of people came to make trouble. I won’t believe it when someone say that no one was behind it. So here is the question, who is this scheming guy?”

“Brother, you just focus on designing a good game, don’t always think about hyping.”

“Don’t always make a drama for yourself, just make a game and have little respect to your seniors, understand?”

“Brother, say something on Weibo. It is not too late to clear up the relationship with these stupid people. If you keep silent, don’t blame me for wrongly hurting you. 

As soon as Chen Mo read them, he got angry immediately.

What did this mean? He had the justice even though he copied my game?

Originally, Chen Mo was more tolerant of such things as “learning from others”, because this kind of thing was not strange in his previous world, Chen Mo was not a sensitive person, and he was also mentally prepared.

However, these people were actually relying on a large number of people to bully him. How could he tolerate such thing?

If a tiger never got mad, it would be taken as Hellokitty?

Chen Mo directly posted something on Weibo.

“Whether you copied or not, you are clear about it at the bottom of your heart. Are the players of 《Plants vs Zombies》 blind? I originally didn’t want to deal with such thing. But as a result, you went too far. @Qiu Bin, don’t pretend to be dead!”

After he posted it, the comments under this post exploded in an instant!

Players of 《Plants vs Zombies》 were all cheered up, and many of them fought from night till morning and didn’t go sleep. Chen Mo’s weibo had undoubtedly stimulated them.

If these players that have played 《Plants vs Zombies》 and took arm to fight, but instead the creator chose to keep things down, how heartbroken they would be! Fortunately, Chen Mo was not the kind of person who was afraid of bad things happening. Emperor Interactive Entertainment? Fight back!

The players of Emperor Interactive Entertainment were shocked. What the hell? There was a hothead like him that existed?

They even forgot to swear back.

As soon as this weibo came out, it quickly spread and many people who paid attention to the gaming industry have noticed it.

Within half an hour, Chen Mo received 5 private messages from other game designers, including one from Qiu Hengyang of Hengyou.com.

“Emperor Interactive Entertainment is the largest R&D and channel provider in China. It’s meaningless to fight them to death. You should go delete your weibo, and it is unnecessary to be so tough.”

What Qiu Hengyang meant was very clear.

Why did he emphasize that Emperor Interactive Entertainment was the largest channel provider? Because in the parallel world, the channel side completely suppressed the R&D side, even if your game was bad, but as long as the channel was willing to promote it for you, then it could also make money.  While if your game was good, but all channels united together to block you, then you could only release your game on the App Store, and the possible earnings were only a tenth.

Emperor Interactive Entertainment had the largest game platform in China. Which ordinary game designers dare fight Emperor Interactive Entertainment?

Therefore, Qiu Hengyang’s reminder was also a good idea.

Chen Mo replied, “Let me ask you this first, you and Qiu Bin are not brothers?”

Qiu Hengyang, “…what the hell! I have nothing to do with him, I happen to just have the same surname!”

Chen Mo, “Fine. Just wait and see how I fight back.”

Qiu Hengyang, “…you may have your own ideas, but I still want to advise you to calm down.”

The contents of the other private messages were similar. All were urging Chen Mo not to be stubborn and stop fighting against Emperor Interactive Entertainment to death. 

Of course, there were still many strangers that sent private messages that were just brainless swearing and Chen Mo directly ignored them.

Half an hour passed, Qiu Bin’s Weibo still had no response..

Was he still not awake yet? That was impossible, even if he didn’t wake up, someone must have called him.

It was obvious that Qiu Bin did not want to reply this comment.

In fact, people in the game industry could see that 《Guardian of the Holy Spring》definitely copied Plant VS Zombies on creativity. However, this kind of reference did not constitute infringement at all, and at most, he would be criticized with several simple sentences. People doesn’t find it strange about such things and they got used to it.

However, if Qiu Bin jumped out and stretched his neck and said, “I didn’t copy”? That would be inappropriate, and it would only be seen as a joke.

Therefore, the most appropriate way for him was to not just speak and stay silent. After a few days till this event was over, the game should be ready to be released and make money.

Anyway, as long as it didn’t affect making money, the players could just swear at each other, Qiu Bin and Emperor Interactive Entertainment wouldn’t lose anything.

“Oh, he is very calm.”

Chen Mo taunted, if the other party was a young man, then it was estimated that he would have lost his temper, but Qiu Bin was obviously an old fox.

“You think that I won’t be able to deal with you if you pretend to be a turtle hiding your head in your hard shell?”

Chen Mo sneered, Emperor Interactive Entertainment right? Copying me, right? It was okay, you can copy it, but I had some ways to make you bleed!

In fact, Chen Mo was slightly puzzled, why did this little thing became such a big fuss in just one night?

He checked the time when the players of 《Plants vs Zombies》 left their messages, and it was exactly when he started to Draw last night.

That was to say that this should also be caused by the lucky capsule.

The lucky capsules had influenced the behavior of these players and made them discover the video, which triggered this swearing battle.

The players came forward, and what was the reason for the game designer to remain silent? Chen Mo did not know how to write the word “surrender”.

Chen Mo took out the rage interference from the virtual bracelet and chose to use it on Qiu Bin.

“Aren’t you calm? Come, let me see if you can still be calm!”

Done.

Chen Mo waited for a minute, but Qiu Bin still did not respond.

“The item failed? It can’t be. It seems that the gunpowder was not strong enough.”

Chen Mo made another post on Weibo.

“@Qiu Bin. Look, the game designer himself defaulting on him copying, he doesn’t dare to say a word. It’s really pitiful for those who waved flags and shouted for him, you looked like stupid people.”
