180: Isn't this a disguised way of forcing people to pay?

The words of the Operations Department manager indeed expressed the thoughts of everyone present, making them feel that this proposal was very reliable.

It was indeed the best solution to the problem.

The plan was to push Aoyou Tianxia Games to a new height, but this height was different from before.

The senior management of Yunteng Game Company had already formulated the specific steps.

That was to use a large amount of money to hire internet trolls to slander all games under Aoyou Tianxia Game Company on various major forums.

No matter what method was adopted, no matter what was said.

It was just a constant stream of negative comments, directly and mercilessly blacklisting, giving no reasons, to turn everyone's perception of Aoyou Tianxia Games into a bad impression.

This move was truly insidious.

And once the decision was made, it was immediately put into action, without any delay.

After all, for them, the sooner players developed negative emotions towards Aoyou Tianxia, the more beneficial it would be for their Yunteng Company.

Now.

No matter which platform or forum, almost every piece of information about Aoyou Tianxia had negative comments posted by internet trolls hired by Yunteng Games.

“Is Aoyou Tianxia only interested in making quick money now? Game quality is getting worse and worse, but advertisements are increasing. Are all game companies like this? It's disgusting!”

“Dungeon & Fighter used to be pretty good, but now you can't play it without spending money.

Isn't this indirectly forcing people to top up? Uninstall, garbage game!”

“What's the point of crossfire having so many weapons? It's just to make us keep spending money, right? If you don't want to spend money, you can't play the game properly. It's truly despicable.”

“What kind of garbage racing game is extreme speed racer? I just started, and others are already at the finish line. Is this the power of money? They truly disregard player feelings and only think about making money!”

“I used to think highly of Aoyou Tianxia, but I didn't expect them to start messing around once they got money? If it weren't for our player support, you would be nothing, yet you still exploit our hard-earned money!”

“I can't stand it anymore, I've uninstalled the entire Aoyou Platform. I'll never play their games again, it's too off-putting!”

“Oh my god, why are people suddenly attacking Aoyou Tianxia? Something's not right!”

“Don't you understand, brother? Everyone is saying that Aoyou Tianxia is just trying to fleece people, they deserve to be flamed.”

“Anyone who continues to play Aoyou Tianxia's games now truly has an intelligence problem.

Do they really think players are fools?”

“I'm out, I'm out! Anyone still playing is a sucker!”

“I've deleted everything related to Aoyou Tianxia!”

“Then why are you still posting on Aoyou's forum? You've been exposed, haven't you?”

“Why are there so many haters suddenly appearing? Is someone secretly planning this?”

“It's because Aoyou Tianxia was too arrogant, thinking they could do whatever they wanted with a little achievement. They brought this criticism upon themselves!”

Except for minecraft, which escaped this calamity due to prior official recognition, all other games were slandered beyond recognition.

The goal was to leave a bad impression of Aoyou Tianxia on everyone.

As long as this effect was achieved, it was enough for the masterminds behind the scenes.

As a long-term industry leader, if Yunteng Company truly wanted to strike a company, it naturally had its own methods and means.

Before the rise of Aoyou Tianxia.

The entire gaming industry basically had to follow Yunteng Company's lead, and many people relied on following trends to make a living.

Now, Aoyou Tianxia had shaken Yunteng Company's position.

It also affected the interests of many stakeholders.

Some gaming self-media and individual authors who originally relied on Yunteng Company came forward to criticize Aoyou Tianxia's problems and wrote articles.

【Aoyou Tianxia has indeed started to inflate, already frantically raking in money…】

【Several of its popular games clearly induce consumption, losing their original meaning.】

【Shocking! Aoyou Tianxia faces widespread player dissatisfaction, evidence found…】

【Just ascended to the top and about to fall from grace, stay tuned.】

A series of critical articles targeting Aoyou Tianxia continued to emerge, causing many people who didn't know the truth to start believing the content.

Of course, some people remained calm and analyzed the situation.

This storm quickly became a hot topic online, with many curious about the reasons behind the incident.

What was the reason for so many haters specifically attacking Aoyou Tianxia to appear overnight?

As the number of participants in the discussion increased, there were many who blindly followed the trend to speak or post.

Even if they were unclear about the specific situation, this popularity attracted many who sought to profit from it.

So more and more people joined the smear campaign, even if they didn't know why they were doing these things.

But to have a strong sense of presence in this major event, everyone rushed to express their opinions and even write articles.

Even if someone wanted to explain for Aoyou Tianxia, they would quickly be drowned out by online public opinion.

As a result, within just a few days.

All games developed by Aoyou Tianxia were fiercely attacked, and related topics even made it to the top of Weibo's hot searches.

The adverse effects of cyberbullying are only understood by those who have experienced it firsthand.

And Yunteng Game Company, which orchestrated this wave of negative public opinion, was not idle either.

While spending a lot of money to hire internet trolls, they also began to frantically imitate the works of Aoyou Tianxia Game Company!

But these people were very clever!

As long as they didn't infringe on Aoyou Tianxia Game Company's copyright, they would copy anything, regardless of the consequences.

They were that direct and aggressive!

Once the imitations were released, they would immediately push them to the market.

They tried every means to attract players' wallets.

This storm had lasted for several days, and during this time, almost all of Aoyou Tianxia's games were cloned by Yunteng Company.

Once the pirated versions were produced, they would immediately be put on sale.

Then came the crazy money-grabbing mode!

Yunteng Company was also quite clever in its copying, with some game names only changing one or two characters.

The gameplay was largely the same, with only slight modifications to some internal items or details.

They looked different, but the gameplay felt very similar.

There wasn't much difference between the replicas and the originals.

Precisely because of this.

In these few days, Yunteng Company had already enticed millions of new users to fall into the trap and spend money!

In the Aoyou Tianxia office.

Senior management gathered in the conference room.

Xu Lian was not particularly concerned about the sudden outbreak of this public opinion storm.

A tall tree catches the wind, after all.

When a brand is famous enough, there will always be people who are jealous of it; this is unavoidable.

Moreover, those malicious comments did not cause significant harm to Aoyou Tianxia.

After all, everyone has their own judgment.

Compared to other competitors, Aoyou Tianxia had already done very well.

Although players also needed to top up to get a better experience, this was inherently a business model.
