Chapter 185 Women hold up half the sky

While Yang Huan was depressed in Southampton, in the United States on the far side of the Atlantic, a round of heated debate was going on in the headquarters office of the famous rating website Metacritic.

"I think this game should get full marks!" A fat female staff member said passionately.

"That's right, even if you don't have a full score, at least you need to be over [-]." Another female staff member responded aloud.

"If I were to rate it, I would rate it at 96. This is my favorite mobile game I've ever played."

"In my case, 94 points."

There are not many people in the office, and there are only a few women in total, but the opinions are very unified, and they all give high marks.

This made other male colleagues in the office a little dumbfounded. Is it reasonable to give such a high price?
"Wait, wait first!"

Jason Dietz, the person in charge of the website, stood up and signaled to all female compatriots not to get excited.

"You know, my world is only 93 points." Jason Dietz waited until everyone calmed down before he reminded.

Minecraft, which is a famous mobile game from Sweden, has been very famous since the test.

What is most talked about is that this game has opened up a new way of playing, and it can almost be said to be a well-known revolutionary game.

But such a game only scored 93 points.

Is WeChat's match-[-] game Candy Crush really better than Minecraft?
"Jason is right. Games like Minecraft only have 93 points, and Candy Crush is only [-] points at most."

"Eighty points? Oh my god, is it too high? What's new in this game? The match-three mode is very common, okay?"

"I also think that this game really doesn't have any revolutionary innovations, so I can't give it too high a score."

"Comparatively speaking, I think their other game, Puzzle & Dragons is very interesting and should be given a high score."

After hearing this, several female compatriots immediately refused.

"Hey, you're saying Candy Crush isn't innovative?"

"My God, where did your eyes go? You can't see so many innovations in small details?"

"That's right, it's the same match [-], how can others not have this effect? ​​Isn't innovation in small details called innovation?"

"I remember, according to what you said, what contribution did Watt make to the Industrial Revolution? He didn't invent the steam engine!"

"That is, small innovations are not innovations? With so many small innovations accumulated, are they still called no innovations?"

The fellow men immediately began to refute.

"We didn't say that this game has no innovations, just that there are no innovations that are too impressive, OK?"

"I think it must be admitted that this is a well-made game. The graphics almost use the screen of Apple's IPHONE4 to the extreme. It is very good, and there are quite a few small innovations. The charging points are not annoying, but I don't think it is justified to give high marks for these."

"Marco is right, this is a game for making money, not the revolutionary gameplay of Minecraft."

"It's like a Hollywood movie. Some are commercial blockbusters aimed at making money, while others want to hit the Oscars. The two obviously cannot be confused."

The female compatriots have found a counterattack point again.

"OK, Charles, what do you think of Christopher Nolan's Batman series?"

Charles was immediately speechless.

"It's incomparable. There must be films that have reached a certain height both artistically and commercially, but I think this Candy Crush Saga is obviously a commercial blockbuster aimed at making money, just like Transformers."

"On the contrary, I think Puzzle and Dragons is very interesting and has some innovations, but for the time being, this game is not pleasant."

Marco's words were immediately recognized by a group of male compatriots.

Candy Crush Saga broke through 1000 million downloads in less than three weeks, while Puzzle & Dragons has been released for several months, but has been released only in limited regions such as New Zealand, Australia, and Canada, with only 50 downloads.

"But from the perspective of us women, I think this game is very good, much better than Puzzle & Dragons."

"Oh, that's your woman's opinion, that's all!" retorted the fellow men.

"Hey, what do you mean? Look down on women?"

Immediately, some female compatriots pointed at him and asked, "I tell you, women can hold up half the sky!"

"I didn't mean that, I just..."

"Then what do you mean?
Jason Dietz looked at the two groups of people arguing with each other sentence by sentence, and he felt a headache.

He never expected that a game would divide his originally united team into two incompatible factions.

However, if you see that 70.00% of the players in Candy Crush Saga are female players, you will know.

As Yang Huan said in the advertisement, this is a game specially tailored for female players.

Before the British paparazzi also photographed, even Princess Kate, who had just completed the wedding of the century, was playing this game.

It is conceivable how popular this game is now in the minds of female players.

"Everyone be quiet." Jason Dietz had to stop loudly.

If you keep arguing like this, there will be no results at all.

Not only will there be no results, but there may be a big fight.

Because in the end, it will definitely involve sex discrimination between men and women.

"According to the evaluations of the [-] media and websites we cooperate with, they generally give this game a score of around [-]. It is considered an excellent smartphone game, but it is far from a high score."

As soon as the boss spoke, the men and women in the office immediately turned off their lights.

"On the contrary, Puzzle & Dragons has a relatively high score, reaching 85 points."

As soon as Jason Dietz finished speaking, the chubby female employee immediately complained, "That's because the major review media and websites all evaluate a game from the perspective of a man."

Jason Dietz chuckled, "Yes, that's right, so we can only accept this reality, Mary."

The woman named Mary had no choice but to nod.

Who told this is a man's powerful world?
"However, the evaluation of this game is up to you, Mary."

When Mary heard it, she was immediately happy, and she kept nodding her head, "OK, leave it to me!"

"I'll leave Puzzle & Dragons to you, Marco!"

"OK, no problem!" Marco also nodded in agreement.

Charles noticed another problem.

"Boss, if these two games are given excellent points, then their game company's annual ranking will surpass Nintendo."

In addition to evaluating the game itself, the scoring website also has a ranking for the game production company.

Previously, WeChat Game Company rushed to the third place on the annual list with the two popular games Cut the Rope and Temple Run, but now before the list ends, they have launched these two games, which are bound to surpass Nintendo.

"Isn't it?" Jason Dietz was a little surprised.

Immediately walked to a computer, opened the website casually, flipped through the list of game developers, and then calculated in his mind that the improvement of these two games after joining would indeed surpass Nintendo.

The well-known PC game developer Blizzard is only ranked No.5.

"Boss..."

Almost everyone was a little dumbfounded at this moment.

Nintendo, which is a giant in the game field, has produced many classic games that are both popular and well-received.

But in less than a year, it was surpassed by a new game company?

But judging by the annual ratings, it is indeed the case.

Jason? Dietz is also very embarrassed, because he can guess that once this is done, Nintendo fans and Blizzard diehards will be dissatisfied, and their saliva will flood their website.

However, after thinking about it, he decided.

"Do it!" Jason Dietz sighed, "We do evaluations, and we will release the truth about the scores. As for the reactions of the players, they will understand."

After a pause, he thought about it again, "Candy Crush Saga gives 84 points, Puzzle & Dragons [-] points."

No one at the scene said anything more, and they all went to work silently.

iOS development community.

"My God, the Metacritic website is going against the sky!"

A user made such a post on the website and took a screenshot of the score on the Metacritic website.

"WeChat Game Company is really going to blow up the sky this time. The scores of Cut the Rope and Temple Run are already very high, both exceeding [-] points, reaching the excellent level. Now Candy Crush Saga and Puzzle & Dragons have also exceeded [-] points respectively."

Judging from the screenshots, the highest score of the WeChat game company is still cutting the rope, reaching 86 points.

"It's simply unbelievable. Four games have been produced, each of which has reached the excellent level. This has made WeChat Game Company's total score surpass that of Nintendo, ranking first in the annual developer list!"

As soon as this post was posted, it immediately attracted countless divers to follow up.

"I saw it too, this game company is too powerful."

"Haha, I've always thought that smartphone games are the future, and the fact that WeChat surpasses Nintendo is the best proof!"

"Big WeChat V [-], that's awesome!"

"I am also optimistic about the mobile platform. WeChat games surpass Nintendo, and WeChat will soon surpass Facebook and Twitter. Just wait!"

"What about those people who said that the WeChat company was exhausted? Why are they gone?"

"As soon as those little rats saw that something was wrong, they all went back underground one by one."

"Just wait, when there will be some unfavorable news, they will come out!"

"This is a great event in the IOS development industry. Everyone should publicize it. I think more IOS game development companies will definitely enter this list in the future!"

"I like the games of WeChat Game Company very much. I have all their games, including masturbation, and I play them whenever I have time!"

"Great! Congratulations to WeChat Game Company!"

"It's a game that even Princess Kate is playing, you can't give it a high score!"

"The games of this company are indeed very classic and worth learning from. I heard that they already have a very complete set of big data on mobile users. I believe they will become better and better in the future!"

"At the very least, they are now the most profitable mobile game developer."

As soon as this news was fried in the IOS development community, it spread immediately.

One spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and soon spread throughout the Internet.

The scores of the Metacritic website have always been valued by many people, but this time it caused a lot of controversy.

Especially for a developer that has only made four mobile games in less than a year, it has surpassed the two golden signs of Nintendo and Blizzard, which makes the die-hard fans of the two game manufacturers very dissatisfied.

Some have even attacked rating sites, arguing that their reviews are biased.

Jason? Dietz under pressure, had to stand up for an interview, he denied the site's evaluation is not fair enough.

"We combined the ratings of [-] independent evaluation agencies, media and websites, and finally gave the score. I don't think there is any problem in it? As for the WeChat game company surpassing Nintendo and Blizzard, this is just an annual ranking!"

But even with this explanation, it still cannot satisfy many netizens.

Soon, some netizens immediately unearthed a new piece of news.
