Reborn to Make Games: My Girlfriend is a Game Streamer

Chapter 29 The Shift in Public Opinion

Although Jiang Yiting's blog has been neglected for a long time, it still retains a portion of her old fans from when she was making videos.

When she forwarded Chen Bainian's well-organized blog post, it was like throwing a pebble into a still lake, and the ripples spread rapidly.

The post was screenshotted and forwarded, quickly spreading to her fan groups, gaming enthusiast groups, and gossip forums where people were already discussing the "scandalous affair" in the industry early in the morning.

Chen Bainian's blog post, with its calm, candid, and solid evidence, naturally became the focus of discussion.

He stated his purpose clearly from the outset, getting straight to the heart of the matter:

Hello everyone, I am Chen Bonian from Changshou Games Studio, the producer of the independent game "Getting Over It".

Regarding the discussion this morning, I feel it is necessary to clarify a few points in person.

1. Regarding the premiere opportunity of "The Twelfth Floor"

Before the game was released, I sent out invitations to many streamers to try it out, but the vast majority of them ignored me.

"12th Floor" is the only streamer who showed genuine interest.

In the midst of general silence, a thoughtful response is all the more precious, and collaborating with professionals and proactive individuals is a natural choice.

2. Regarding the streamer "Night Breeze"

Here is a screenshot of the communication at that time.

Content: Screenshot of chat history with Ye Feng, showing Chen Bainian sending an invitation.

The other party replied: "What kind of low-quality game is this? Don't waste my time."

The door to opportunity is always open; those who walk in do so with respect and a bit of curiosity, not through any behind-the-scenes deals.

3. Regarding "Sending Gifts"

I send gifts in Lou Ge's live stream because of her support for my game, and her live stream content has also gained recognition from everyone.

This is an appreciation of excellent content and public support for "people who take their work seriously".

Finally, I would like to say:

Developing independent games is a lonely process, and finding good content is also not easy for streamers.

This community needs more respectful and professional communication, rather than malicious speculation.

The core message of "Getting Over It" is "to keep moving forward in the face of setbacks".

This is a message of encouragement to all colleagues who are serious about creating content, and I hope the discussion can return to the games and the content themselves.

Thank you to all the players who have supported indie games with their kindness.

-----------------

Although this blog post is short, it is logically sound and sincere in its tone.

In particular, the solid evidence posted provided Jiang Yiting's supporters with a powerful weapon, proving that their favorite anchor relied on her unique vision and professional competence.

Rather than someone who rose to power through so-called "unspoken rules".

Shortly after Chen Bainian returned home, the comments under his blog post began to grow rapidly.

-Support Brother Lou!

-The producer is tough!

- I give this slap in the face a perfect score!

-Night Breeze, have you really hit a brick wall? Hilarious.

However, there are also some dissenting voices.

Some people questioned the completeness of the screenshot.

Some people mocked Chen Bainian for being so subservient when he begged others to promote his games, and now that he's made a comeback, he's trying to slap them in the face.

The presence of these dissenting voices makes the subsequent, more substantial support all the more precious and crucial.

Among them, a few IDs stood out.

Those were from Jiang Yiting's colleagues who followed her when she registered a blog for work.

One of the pinned comments comes from a highly influential figure in the industry, commentator Uncle D:

"Xiao Jiang, who is the 12th floor in the screenshot, was my colleague at my previous company."

Her professionalism, hard work, and passion for games are evident to all.

Competition among peers should be based on content and strength, not on malicious speculation and smearing.

Such remarks are both stupid and malicious, and they lower the overall standard of the game streaming industry.

Uncle D's stance served as a weather vane, prompting more well-known figures in the industry to voice their support, including former MOBA pro player Jiu Shen and famous female commentator Yan Jie.

The blog's official account, which is sensitive to trending topics, immediately sent Chen Bainian an invitation to verify his identity.

The special channel's review process was quick, and the yellow label certification was completed in no time.

This small logo is like an official "credible" stamp on his blog posts.

This gives supporters confidence when spreading information and makes it harder for skeptics to challenge its authenticity.

Suddenly, the public opinion landscape shifted to one-sided.

At this point, Chen Bainian finally learned about the company Jiang Yiting was currently working for.

It turns out to be Game TV, once a leader in the video game content industry.

However, with the rise of the video content industry and the live streaming industry.

Under the impact of two major waves, the company also appears to be declining.

Following this clarification, the hashtag "Night Breeze's Remarks" did not fade from the blog's trending topics list over time; instead, it gradually climbed upwards.

Along with this, the hashtag "Chen Bainian responds" climbed to the top of the trending search list.

Following closely behind on the trending list was the phrase "Digging for a Rise".

This marks the official mainstream success of "Getting Over It," extending beyond its initial popularity among gamers.

Although many people who are unaware of the facts don't understand how this seemingly unremarkable game suddenly climbed to the top of the trending topics list.

However, the entry itself contains enthusiastic melon-cutting bloggers.

This article aims to educate everyone about the game that has caused so many streamers to lose their composure, as well as the "scandalous news" that led to the game's widespread popularity, which has since been clarified.

Chen Bainian scrolled through his phone, watching the public opinion completely reverse and the data from the Steam platform's backend surge as the game topped the trending search list.

He put down his phone and began organizing the development plan for the next game, muttering to himself, "Looks like our studio's hiring plan needs to be brought forward."

-----------------

Jiangcheng, Douyu Hosting Operations Backend.

Luo Yu looked at Xiao Liu, who was in charge of operations at Yefeng, pushed up his glasses, and turned the screen towards him.

The above are the terms of Douyu's "Live Stream Room Violation Management Methods" which are being piloted internally.

He lightly tapped the lines that read "insulting and defaming others, disrupting platform order."

"Follow the rules as they were when the system was first launched."

Luo Yu's tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable weight: "Night Breeze's live stream will have all homepage recommendations suspended, and its recommendation priority will be reduced to the lowest level. The initial period is set for one month."

Go back and have a serious talk with him. This isn't targeting anyone in particular; it's just following the platform's rules.

If he still doesn't understand, and repeats the mistake, a permanent ban from his livestream is not out of the question.

Xiao Liu nodded silently: "Understood, boss."

His heart tightened. Ye Feng was the streamer with the most viewership under his management, and this punishment undoubtedly fell on his own shoulders as well.

But he knew that the public outcry was too great and that it would be difficult to quell it without taking a stance.

"Alright, go and call Xiao Zhang over."

Watching Xiao Liu's slightly heavy figure leave, Luo Yu leaned back in his chair and rubbed his temples.

He wasn't deliberately biased towards anyone; it was just that as the section manager, he had to find the optimal solution among the platform's traffic, reputation, and the delicate balance between streamers.

Preserving Yefeng's live stream is crucial to preserving his current traffic base.

Supporting Jiang Yiting may be a way to secure a more stable and promising future for the district.

A moment later, Xiao Zhang walked in briskly, sat down opposite, and took the initiative to explain, "Boss, I really didn't know before that the twelfth floor was hosted by the Game TV host..."

Luo Yu raised his hand, stopping him from continuing: "This is not important."

He leaned forward slightly, his tone regaining the decisiveness of a decision-maker: "Prepare a long-term B-level contract for her, and give her a featured spot on the homepage twice next month. Resources should be given to those who can handle them and who deserve them."

He paused briefly, tapped his finger lightly on the table, and his words carried a deeper meaning: "In addition, when communicating with her, you need to make her 'understand' that the platform has already taken internal action against streamers who make inappropriate remarks."

Hopefully, she can understand the difficulties the platform faces in maintaining order and focus her energy back on content creation. After all, consistently producing high-quality content is the only way to succeed in the long run.

Xiao Zhang immediately grasped the multiple layers of meaning in this explanation: reassurance, warning, enticement, and persuasion, all wrapped in seemingly gentle "hope." He understood perfectly and nodded in response, "Understood. I will strike the right balance, making sure she feels the platform's sincerity and support, while also making her clear about the boundaries."

Luo Yu nodded, satisfied with his capable subordinate's comprehension.

This incident might be an opportunity for him to re-evaluate and balance the relationships and priorities among the streamers in the section.
