The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 214: Time for Reckoning! (Last day to ask for monthly tickets!)
The next day, it was morning in Xia Country and evening in the United States.

The reputation of "Nebula Special Forces" has been completely ruined, but the reputation of "Frost and Snow" has soared!
Sony and Duhuo Studios could not accept failure.

We can neither accept the game’s disastrous sales failure nor accept the game becoming a “Frost & Snow-like” game that plagiarizes the DreamWorks Animation’s “Frost & Snow Project”.

So they played their last card -

Diversity! Inclusion! Sexual minorities!
In the past, this card has always worked well.

——It’s not that it is powerful, but that most netizens dare not refute it.

But this time, things are different!

This time, it was Carly who stood up and criticized.

There are also countless real transgender people like Carly who stood up and angrily criticized Sony Games and Crossing Fire Studio for stigmatizing the transgender community!

This card is indeed very powerful in the United States.

But you and SBI are not the only ones who can play this card!

This round is magic versus magic!
Even more fun is:
Casual gamers won't buy Nebula Assault, and neither will the real transgender community who play games.

So who will buy it?
Are they the transgender groups that protest, curse, form mindless groups, and demand privileges on social networks all day long?
No, they are busy with "social movements", so how can they have time to play games?

The result is:

After a great magic battle, it seems to be quite a big deal.

But the sales of "Nebula Special Forces" did not change at all - it was still a pitiful three digits.

What’s even funnier is that this sales volume was exposed by a third-party website!

A new joke was born in the gaming circle:
"There are more than 1000 names on the credits of Nebula Attack, but the sales of Nebula Attack are less than 1000."

“This shows that only the developer is buying this game.”

“And many developers themselves are not happy to buy it!”
-
Xiaguo's gaming media and players have also entered the rhythm of the New Year.

The gaming media frantically forwarded the news, reporting on the biggest fun in the gaming world's history - a firework worth more than $3 million.

Huo Dao's manuscript was also published, and he contributed two golden sentences that spread throughout the player circle:

[Lord of War's sales of 1500 million copies show its declining trend.]
[Nebula Special Forces sold 684 copies and showed off its style!]
Players cursed "good thing she died" and rushed to Yang Hui's Weiguang and Redbook accounts to "sympathize":
"Is this the epoch-making masterpiece you mentioned?"

"You said that Dream Building's games are garbage, and the blockbuster you helped produce can crush Dream Building, is that true??"

"Good morning, have you eaten? If not, punch me!"

"Ask your boss's boss's boss, how long will it take for Nebula Attack to recoup its investment? It won't be... it will never be recouped in a lifetime, right?! Hahahaha!"

"I finally understand why you hate Xu Meng. It turns out it's a conflict of aesthetics! Xu Meng likes beautiful women, but you like super ugly fat women!"

……

Even though Yang Hui had blocked 10,000 accounts, the overwhelming number of netizens still easily flooded her comment section!

In less than an hour, there were more than 3 comments under her pinned post.

This number is more than 40 times the sales of "Nebula Assault"!
Yang Hui had no room for rebuttal and quickly deleted all the updates under the Weiguang account.

But it didn't work.

She was still being chased and @ed by netizens, and was mocked madly.

An hour later, Yang Hui couldn't stand it anymore and logged out of her Weiguang account.

The players turned to the Red Book again.

Two hours later, Yang Hui cancelled her Hongshu account again.

At this point, she was completely kicked out of social networks.

In today's era of social networks, completely losing the space for social expression is tantamount to a digital death sentence.

This is especially true for someone like Yang Hui who has extreme and radical opinions to express.

For the entire morning, Yang Hui looked as if she didn't want anyone to come near her.

He has a sour face and is not happy with anyone.

Colleagues in the company would avoid her when they saw her.

It was not until noon that Yang Hui was called into the office by her boss and her colleagues around her breathed a sigh of relief.

But less than 5 minutes after he breathed a sigh of relief, Yang Hui's hoarse curses were heard from the boss's office.

Then there was the sound of a cup breaking.

Then there was the sound of a door slamming.

Finally, Yang Hui walked out of the office angrily, stomping on the floor in her high heels.

Without even paying any attention to the colleagues around her workstation, she walked out of the company gate carrying her bag.

The news quickly emerged in the company's small group:
[Yang Hui was fired by her boss!]
——Yu Rongrong, the boss of Kashima Games, had long wanted to kick Yang Hui out.

But Party A's company was too concerned about "inclusiveness", which restricted her ability to do anything.

But things are different now.

Party A's company is in a very difficult situation and may even collapse in a few days.

There is no need to be polite anymore.

What’s worse is that because of Xu Meng’s previous “public naming” operation, Kashima Games can no longer receive outsourcing work in China.

The only hope for a comeback - "Nebula Special Forces" is also unprecedentedly bad, with huge losses!
The hope of receiving overseas orders was completely shattered.

Income cut off.

I'm afraid that Kashima Games will not be able to last for a few more days and will follow in the footsteps of Luzhu Games and Miaowang Games and go bankrupt and disband.

Even if Yang Hui is not fired now, she will still be laid off in a few days.

But Yu Rongrong was so angry that she couldn't sleep all night.

After waking up, no matter what, I must fire Yang Hui before the company goes bankrupt! Let's get rid of this anger first!

In the Kashima Game office, some people were gloating over Yang Hui's departure, while others were worried that they would be implicated.

At the same time, everyone knows that the company has encountered huge difficulties.

Not to mention bonuses, we have to start worrying about salary and the future.

There is unrest within the company.

Outside the company gate, Yang Hui's anger gradually subsided and she slowed down her pace a little bit.

She lost her job, her reputation was ruined, her big V account was cancelled, she got divorced, her child was left to her husband, and her parents and relatives cut off all ties with her.

All her social relationships and interpersonal connections were completely severed at this point.

"What should I do next?"

This question suddenly popped up in Yang Hui's mind.

How to make money, how to live, how to... pay the rent?

She pulled her phone out of her bag and slowly flipped through her address book, trying to find a number to call.

But after searching high and low for several times, I still couldn't find anyone to talk to.

Finally, her thumb hesitantly stopped on a man's name.

That was her ex-husband's name.

She stood there, and after 10 minutes of intense psychological struggle, she finally pressed the dial button hard.

[beep--]
[Beep - The number you dialed is unavailable. Please check before dialing.]
[Click]
The phone was disconnected.

Yang Hui looked at the number in surprise, trying to see if there was any mistake.

But she soon realized that she had never memorized her ex-husband's phone number and had no way to check it.

She didn't give up and called three more times.

But it's the same prompt tone every time.

In this case, there are only two possibilities:
1: My ex-husband cancelled his number.

2: Her phone number was blocked by her ex-husband.

No matter which one, it clearly expresses the ex-husband's attitude:

Never look back.

Never reconcile.

At this moment, Yang Hui suddenly felt dizzy and weak all over. She squatted in the small square in front of the company, holding her brand-name bag.

Seeing this, people who left the company for lunch at noon avoided her seat.

Such as avoiding snakes and scorpions.

……

……

On the overseas Internet, Kabo is opening champagne.

Even excitedly issued a slogan:
[Make Games Great Again! ! ]
In comparison, Niiiko is much friendlier - although he slaps himself mercilessly, he is gentle to others.

While gamers in the gaming community were celebrating the death of Nebula Assault with Kabo, he was still sympathizing with those people at Duhuo Studio who were truly serious about making games.

——In his eyes and those of many others, many people in Duhuo Studio are also innocent.

They worked hard on making games for 8 years, but their business was ruined by the strong intervention of SBI and Sony Game Station.

8 years of hard work, destroyed in an instant.

How can one not feel sympathy?
Niiiko left a message on social media to comfort Johnson.

But Johnson replied:

[Um... I don't really care. This is a great game made by a bunch of talented people, why should I care if a bunch of untalented freaks hate it?]
“???” Niiiko was stunned on the spot.

"WTF?"

“You guys are talented?”

“We are freaks??”

After realizing what was going on, he even laughed out loud speechlessly: "Hahaha, fuck!!!"

"I was wrong! You sons of bitches don't deserve any sympathy at all!!"

And this guy is not just mocking Niiiko.

He was talking about "a bunch of talentless freaks".

The implication is - all players who hate the game "Nebula Assault" are weird!

Now, not only did no one sympathize with them, but a large number of players were completely enraged by his remarks and started cursing at him.

There were even players from Xia country who drove over to complain:
"Fuck you! Do you really think you're an onion?"

"You are the freak! Your whole family is freaks! Your entire family is freaks!"

"May your wife be a 68-year-old, 480-pound, sausage-mouthed transgender black woman!"

……

Johnson didn't bubble up again.

It's not that he doesn't care about being scolded by the players, but he has encountered more troublesome things -

He received the news from his friends at Sony Game Station:
“Be prepared for layoffs.”

“Big layoffs!”

　It’s the last day to ask for monthly votes, otherwise it will expire!
