A real cheat was blocked, and the game industry was rectified with a backhand

The office at this time.

"Mr. Lin, that's it. Do you think there's anything else we can improve?" Zhou Yun put down the fitness ring, panting. "It's a good idea to use the somatosensory function of the game console for fitness."

Lin Mo nodded and said, "This is enough. But, Lao Zhou, you should exercise more."

Zhou Yun chuckled, patted his fat belly, and said, "Yunding Technology is too busy. I can't do anything about it. I have to help General Manager Lin solve his problems."

“Stop being funny.” Lin Mo cursed and pointed at the controller. “The two shoulder buttons need to be optimized. The creaking sound and the button feel are really bad.”

After a few years, Genting Technology is no longer just a subsidiary of Naughty Cat that focuses on VR. Thanks to sufficient financial support from its parent company, it has expanded its research and development directions and achieved considerable results.

Nowadays, VR devices on the market are basically monopolized by Genting VR series head-mounted display devices.

Zhou Yun nodded: "Okay, I've recorded it. But, regarding the console, should we start promoting it this year? It's different from games, it's much more expensive, and we need to give players some time to choose and save money."

Lin Mo nodded and said, "We can start preparing for the promotion soon. Do you have any ideas?"

"No. Mr. Lin, how about you?"

“I don’t have any ideas for now.”

While the two were chatting, there was a knock on the office door, and then the secretary's voice came from outside: "Mr. Lin, there is a visitor. The front desk doesn't know whether to refuse him, so we need to ask you for permission."

Lin Mo frowned slightly and was about to refuse, but before he spoke, he asked, "Who is it? I remember saying that all visitors will be rejected."

Ever since the two major console manufacturers removed the entire Naughty Cat family package from their shelves, all kinds of inexplicable people have been coming in an endless stream, more than before.

"It's Jeff, one of the former WGA organizers who once worked with our company."

Jeff?

Lin Mo remembered this person.

Come to think of it, Naughty Cat owes him a favor.

CSGO was able to become famous and expand rapidly, relying on one game to support the company's revenue that year, so that it could expand wildly afterwards and make high-quality games the company's business card. This was inseparable from being selected as the best game of the year by WGA.

After that, there was indeed a honeymoon period of several years with the WGA.

It’s a pity that later on, EA used some means to usurp the power of Jeff, which caused the reputation of this historic award show to be ruined.

Although I don’t know why the other party comes to visit me, as long as it is not excessive, I still have to repay the favor.

"Invite him to my office."

Jeff still felt a little awkward when he stepped into the office.

As a well-known media in the gaming industry, he had known about Naughty Cat's new park for a long time, but it was only after he actually came here that he experienced the incredibleness firsthand.

A company that is only five years old.

How incredible.

Seeing that there was more than one person in the office, Jeff was a little confused and didn't know whether he should say the words he had prepared in advance.

"Sit down. Come to think of it, when Naughty Cat was still a small company, it was thanks to the promotion of WGA that CSGO won the annual award, which was a bit unexpected to me."

Lin Mo's words brought the time back to the WGA five years ago.

Jeff's nervousness eased a little, and he could understand the meaning.

Naughty Cat, I appreciate this favor. If you have anything to say, just tell me.

Watching him sit down, Lin Mo added: "This is Zhou Yun from Genting Technology. You can talk to him if you have anything to say. He is one of us."

Jeff nodded, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the tense muscles on his face relaxed a little.

"Boss Lin, I'm here to invite you and Naughty Cat to a game awards ceremony."

"Awards ceremony?"

"Yes." Jeff's face was filled with anger. "WGA was ruined by EA and Freeman. It became a dirty ceremony that existed for the benefit of EA."

Lin Mo nodded, indicating that he understood.

As a media person, WGA is Jeff's hard work and greatest achievement. Now he has been squeezed out, the ceremony has a ruined reputation, and he is despised by people. He is the one who is most heartbroken.

After thinking for two seconds, I suddenly remembered a piece of news from some time ago.

There is a new game awards ceremony - the Electronic Arts Awards, which will be held on January 1st every year to honor outstanding works of the previous year.

"Wait, you're not going to recreate the video game Oscars, the Electronic Arts Awards?"

"Yes. I have been working on this matter all year, and it has achieved some results. However, many manufacturers still habitually attend the WGA awards ceremony. So."

At this point, Jeff's face looked a little embarrassed.

"So, we're missing a heavyweight participant to support the scene." Lin Mo thought for a moment and shook his head, "This is not appropriate."

Jeff wasn't surprised at all, but there was still some disappointment on his face.

"Really? That's right. After all, you are a naughty cat. Why would you go to such a small ceremony?"

"If Naughty Cat participates in receiving the award, what will happen to other companies? Wouldn't that become a ceremony to praise Naughty Cat?"

Jeff nodded.

That's true. In the first year of WGA, Naughty Cat won many awards as a dark horse.

Starting from the second year, one company took more than 25% of the awards. Many awards were not suspenseful at all, which made the ceremony less interesting.

Lin Mo smiled and said, "So, Naughty Cat will participate, but only as an investor and award presenter. We will present the honors that the outstanding works of this year deserve."

Jeff was stunned and stood up from his seat in excitement. He stammered, "That's great. Thank you so much. I didn't expect that."

Naughty Cat is famous for his generous investments.

Lin Mo smiled and pressed his hand down. Jeff then realized that he had lost his composure. His face turned red and he quickly sat down.

"Don't be so excited or thank me. I have to thank you for your contribution to the industry over the years. Naughty Cat owes you a favor. Besides, everyone is criticizing Naughty Cat right now. You really believe in Naughty Cat's strength by asking me for help."

Jeff smiled and said, "I don't believe that you, Mr. Lin, don't have any backup plan. With your company's R&D capabilities, it's easy to make up for the revenue gap with a few games."

"Now that we're talking about this, it's just right." Lin Mo looked at Zhou Yun standing beside him, "Isn't this the idea for publicity?"

Zhou Yun's eyes lit up: "You mean, at the Electronic Arts Awards? That's a good idea. A new year, a great start!"

Jeff looked left and right, confused.

What are you two talking about?

It was Lin Mo who gave the first answer: "I need to announce a game and a new game console at the ceremony!"

"No problem, I will definitely put Naughty Cat's new game at the end. Wait." Jeff was stunned, and his whole body shook violently as if he was electrified. "What did you just say? What's new? I might be hard of hearing."

"You are not hard of hearing. A new host, not named Ju or Sou, but Lin."

"hiss"

Jeff just felt his whole body tingling and shaking with excitement.

Ever since the advent of game consoles, the world has been divided into two parts.

Occasionally, some consoles will be launched with great success, but will end up in a bleak way because there are not enough good first-party games.

If, in the current industry, Naughty Cat claims that its game lineup is the second in the world, no one dares to claim that they are the first.

Moreover, Naughty Cat is the only game company that can support the research and development and production of a game console and bear the consequences of failure by relying on the sales of tens of millions of copies of its games.

"No wonder, no wonder."

Jeff muttered to himself for a while.

No wonder given Naughty Cat’s character, it hasn’t taken any countermeasures against the two host vendors for so long.

It turns out that if you don't make a sound, you will be a surprise.

Either I am too lazy to pay attention to you, or if I am serious, I will dig up your roots!

If Naughty Cat games are not allowed to be launched on the two major consoles, then just create a third console out of thin air!

"Good! Beautiful!" Jeff stood up excitedly. "The two major console manufacturers have done this kind of bad behavior more than once. It's time for a strong competitor to come out and punish them!"

"Didn't our competitors say that Naughty Cat had run out of tricks and was just waiting to die? The fight back will start on the first day of the new year. Let's make our dear competitors happy for a while."

Late December.

WGA organizing committee.

"Are you sure? Naughty Cat, are you sure you won't come?"

"determine."

Freeman rubbed his hair irritably and cursed under his breath.

Nowadays, the attitude towards naughty cats is very embarrassing.

They won’t come!

Still not coming!

Then, there is another very serious question, which is how the awards are given.

Arnold is no longer in the limelight and has completely left the stage. He is the shortest-serving CEO in the history of Electronic Arts.

Naturally, the many benefits promised to Freeman also disappeared.

Then the problem is coming.

In previous years, we could at least get benefits by helping Electronic Arts Games no matter how against our will. But what can we do now?

There is no benefit at all, and the WGA's reputation has been tarnished.

If we want to restore the reputation, we need fair awards, but the problem is that no one from Naughty Cat came!

With so many awards, is it possible that no one comes to claim them after they are awarded?

Wouldn't that make us a complete laughing stock?

It's a bit difficult to back down for a while.

Jeff, who was just kicked out of the WGA organizing committee last year, founded the "Electronic Arts Award" this year.

Although many things seemed rushed in the first year, it was a direct competitor.

No matter which industry, there can be countless fake awards, but there can only be one award with the most value.

Whether it's the WGA's Best of the Year or the Electronic Arts Awards' Best of the Year, it depends on who can convince the public this year.

As far as he knows, many small and medium-sized game companies that are dissatisfied with the WGA have chosen to go to the Electronic Arts Awards ceremony.

"Damn naughty cat, it's all your fault!"

Freeman complained.

No matter how small the ceremony is, Naughty Cat will at least send someone to lead it, as a token of their respect. They are all in the same industry, so they have to give some respect, so they can just send a representative to lead it.

But it’s the WGA that’s so offended.

That means they really didn't send anyone.

And since Naughty Cat was not in sight, some players were not convinced and thought that the ceremony was meaningless and unprofessional.

Who is the ceremony ultimately for?

The most important thing is the players!

After hesitating for a long time, he finally made a decision.

"Give those undisputed awards to Naughty Cat. Try to contact Naughty Cat and repair the relationship."

The employee asked in confusion: "Boss. Repair the relationship? Is that really possible?"

Freeman glanced at him and said, "Stupid. Although Naughty Cat is still the holy land of high-quality games in the eyes of players, the problem is that it is no longer the same as it used to be. This skyscraper may collapse at any time. In order to overcome the difficulties in the next step, Lin Mo may need to give up his shares to raise funds. Giving him so many valuable awards is a favor, which can exchange for financial support to help Naughty Cat overcome the difficulties at a lower cost."

The employee thought about it carefully.

It seemed to be fine, but something didn't seem right.

"What if, I mean what if, Naughty Cat can get through this difficult time and doesn't need our award at all? Then why not create a ceremony that completely eliminates Naughty Cat? Uh, well, forget what I said."

Looking at the murderous look in the boss's eyes, he quickly took back the rest of his words.

Freeman snorted coldly and said, "Naughty Cat, how did you get through this difficult time? Just relying on that MOBA game that has been made public and countless manufacturers are flocking to it to get a piece of the pie? Can that thing support a company? I doubt it. In my opinion, that thing is just a carnival in a niche market, a lottery that doesn't want to waste an excellent idea. Relying on this alone will definitely not make up for the losses caused by the two console manufacturers' comprehensive removal of the game."

"Is this ceremony so embarrassing and shameful?"

"Naughty Cat has been in such a mess lately, isn't it embarrassing? Then why should we be afraid of being embarrassed? As long as we can repair our relationship with Naughty Cat, Jeff's Electronic Arts Award will always be a fake award."

At this point, Freeman let out a sigh of relief.

Some of me regret my prejudice against Naughty Cat games, and I also regret betting on Electronic Arts.

A few days later.

The WGA awards ceremony officially opens.

Countless players watched the live broadcast in front of their computers on time.

But many people have discovered one thing.

The venue, which used to be packed with people, seemed a little deserted this year.

Not full.

Combined with the Electronic Arts Awards, many players instantly understood.

[WGA is really not doing well. I didn’t expect it to decline so quickly]

[I heard that many large companies sent people to both sides, and it is rare to bet on only one side]

[Where's Naughty Cat? Didn't he come? Not surprising.]

[Naughty Cat is so tired of winning so many awards that he doesn’t care about the one or two WGA awards]

Freeman took a deep breath.

Now the new CEO of EA is focusing on stability and does not acknowledge that what Arnold has done can no longer help.

This time, we have to get through it no matter what.

As long as they can get through it, and take advantage of Naughty Cat's serious illness to repair some relationships, and invite Lin Mo to the next WGA, they can establish the image that WGA is still the orthodox and most valuable ceremony.

Although the plan is not being implemented smoothly at the moment, Naughty Cat completely refuses to talk.

But as long as it is successful, the WGA can continue to be held until it is old.
