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

The gaming industry in January has been in a state of ups and downs.

Players are still bombarding Soni with criticism about the game's shitty nature.

Then news came from my uncle's party.

[My uncle works at Souni Company. There is an inside story behind the failure of "Seven Days Later". The original game was not like this, but it used a plan from Lin Mo, and it became like this after being modified.]

This post attracted the attention of many people.

Conspiracy theories always attract attention.

But apparently not many people believed this post.

[Are you sick? How could your first-party studio get Lin Mo's plan? You have nothing to do but chew on a lighter.]

[It's so funny, Lao Xue mentioned this during the live broadcast and some people actually believed it. Do you think Lin Mo is stupid? Would he give such an important thing to others? ]

[Are you mentally ill or is Lin Mo mentally ill? Why would you lend a plan to the enemy? Where's the logic? ]

[What level is Lin Mo's game at? Can a game like "Seven Days Later" be compared to him? Outrageous]

Even this news was reposted on the Internet.

There was still a lot of scolding.

Except for a very few people, no one believed it.

The person who posted this was also very confused and couldn't even explain it. He could only swallow his anger.

It's outrageous, but it's the truth!

Souni also swallowed this matter in silence.

What to do!

Did he even come out to explain that he was fooled? Did he spend a lot of money to buy a problematic plan that Lin Mo didn't want?

And then he modified his own game accordingly? And then it failed due to a huge problem?

You can't say it, even if you're beaten to death, you can't say it.

Souni is a listed company.

After saying this, investors will think that the company's leadership has problems in their brains and lose confidence in them.

The game has flopped and the problem is already very serious.

We can't add any more complications.

The most direct impact is that the refund rate has skyrocketed.

Merchants who stocked up large quantities of physical copies of "Seven Days Later" suffered huge losses.

Players who didn't open the package were all feeling lucky that they could get a refund.

On the second-hand platform, the limited edition console released seven days later also plummeted in price.

The price is not much more expensive than the normal playsquare.

Souni saw it all and was worried.

It is impossible for such a large-scale industry to complete the closed loop relying solely on the power of Souni.

Must rely on third parties and dealers.

This wave caused the partners to suffer heavy losses.

There is no need to think about it, we must be more cautious in dealing with Souni-related businesses in the future.

The loss is not small.

This game, needless to say.

Lost money.

It even triggered a series of changes.

As a result, many people in Souni retreated behind the scenes. The director of Little Devil Studio, Güler, resigned and announced that he would set up his own studio in the future.

Many people even laughed secretly.

The world of game consoles is about to change.

Juying Company focuses on acquisitions.

Souni's ambitious masterpiece failed again.

As long as the next game for Switch doesn't suck, it can basically be announced that the game console market will enter an era of three-way division from now on.

The winter vacation is approaching.

Many players who recently planned to buy a game console are also in a state of hesitation.

Which to buy?

Playsquare? The reputation is too bad, I don't want to buy it.

At this time, Naughty Cat’s official Twitter and Weibo simultaneously released a poster, giving an answer to many players who were holding coins and waiting.

The main body of the poster is in black and white.

The left side is pitch black, and the Chinese version of the poster reads "The Last of Us", while the English version reads "The Last of Us".

Further to the right, the pure black background fades to gray.

There are two people.

A little girl about 14 years old holding a gun, and a middle-aged man holding a revolver with half his face hidden in the shadows.

The accompanying text is also very simple, with only a date.

1.23

The comments from the players below exploded instantly.

[WTF!! New game!!]

[Finally I’ve been waiting for you!! It’s been half a year, almost half a year, why are you just releasing a new work! ]

[What type? Shooting game? You can always trust Naughty Cat's shooting game]

It seems to be to answer players' questions.

Within a few minutes, a video was uploaded to the official account both at home and abroad.

Players couldn't wait to click in and take a look.

Then, PTSD struck.

In the video.

The sunlight shines into the house through the dense ivy outside the window.

a mess.

Dusty furniture, broken mirrors, peeling wallpaper.

There were bloodstains on the wall.

There was a dead body lying on the ground.

[Wait, no way? End of the world theme? ]

[No way, don't scare me]

There was a sound of footsteps.

A little girl runs past the bodies and meets a middle-aged man.

They are the two people on the poster.

The man easily killed an enemy and greeted the little girl.

The little girl was calm beyond her age. She was not afraid when she saw the corpse. She went up to search for the spoils naturally.

But the sound of fighting also attracted some people.

Or rather, some monsters.

There were some disgusting things attached to his body, and the thing on his head looked like a plant or a mushroom, some horrible thing.

At the same time, there are patches and bumps on the skin.

Although they look a bit strange, one word can better summarize these monsters.

Zombies.

What followed was a wonderful battle.

However, the player's attention cannot be focused on the battle at all.

[Oh my god, what did I see? Zombies? Doomsday? Two people? No way]

[Is Naughty Cat trying to pay tribute to Souni? No way]

[No, please]

[Forget it, whoever wants to buy it can buy it this time, I am a coward]

[I too, have a shadow]

But in addition to players with PTSD, there are also some players who are doing serious analysis.

[This promotional video is nothing but white publicity. There is almost no information. It just shows off the CG.]

[This style of publicity usually hides something, and the hidden thing is usually big]

[Please, don't hide it, I'm scared, can you just tell me what the story is? ]

No wonder the players panicked.

It’s really because of the success of "Seven Days Later" that players are scared.

Many people bought the game, and fortunately the disc broke down while it was on the way to the mail, so they could get a refund.

The worst victims are those who bought the digital version.

Before the victims’ anger had subsided, another game with a very similar theme came out.
