Mingyan waved and said, "Good afternoon."
Kriri: "Hmph."
Mingyan pushed a box of ice cream next to him and said, "We've been 'neighbors' for two years now, young master, this is on me."
Kerry paused for a moment, then walked over and sat down opposite Mingyan.
He opened the ice cream, but instead of eating it, he suddenly looked up and asked, "What do you mean? Are you planning to move out? Is the company out of money and about to go bankrupt?"
Mingyan shook his head and smiled, "We're moving. We're going to a bigger place."
For some reason, Kriri got angry again and said, "This small temple can't accommodate a great god. Do you think this place is too small for you?"
He stated explicitly, "It has nothing to do with this place."
After finishing his ice cream, he stood up and prepared to leave.
Behind him, Kerry was still sitting, saying without turning his head, "Hey! Since you're leaving anyway, I'll treat you to dinner. Are you coming?"
Clearly stated: "?"
He was a little surprised; why were all these people wanting to treat him to dinner lately?
But...
"Sorry, I've been quite busy this week," Mingyan said sincerely. "Maybe next time."
Kerry: "..."
He didn't say anything more, just lowered his head, probably eating ice cream.
...
When someone explicitly says they're busy, they really are busy; it's not an excuse.
This matter was quite serious, so he did not convene a meeting with all the staff at Blue Star Studio.
Instead, that afternoon, I had a short meeting with several team leaders and designers.
— Mainly people related to League of Legends.
"As you all probably know, a number of well-made cheats have recently appeared in League of Legends, from a well-known cheat-making team called 'Youmo'," Mingyan said bluntly. "Here is the latest cheat data."
He projected the data into the conference room.
As can be seen, in the last three months, the number of effective cheats for League of Legends has almost doubled compared to last year.
The sudden increase in the number of cheats is partly due to the continued surge in popularity of League of Legends itself.
However, another very important factor is that the game itself has been targeted by large cheat development teams.
Cheating software can severely disrupt the game's balance.
Some cheats may help players see through walls, giving them a significant informational advantage in competitive matches.
Some serious cheats may even lock the character's health—making the game character completely invincible.
This kind of cheating is extremely serious. At best, it will cause dissatisfaction among players; at worst, it can directly ruin a game!
This is not an exaggeration; it is something that has happened in history.
The more promising and popular a game is, the more likely it is to collapse its balance due to rampant cheating.
If the technical team is unable to completely ban cheating software, things will quickly take a turn for the worse.
The game's reputation plummeted, leading to a mass exodus of regular players and ultimately forcing the game to cease operation.
Game developers, cheat developers, and players—all three must perish together!
A game that may have the potential to reach 10 billion in sales could be completely destroyed by the proliferation of a cheat that only sells one million copies.
The cheat developers are rolling in money.
But the team that poured their heart and soul into creating this great game was ruined in an instant. Not only did they have no choice but to disband, but they also ended up with a mountain of debt and had to endure the abuse from players.
Perhaps he will never recover from this setback and will completely withdraw from the gaming industry.
This team called "Youmo" is a notorious cheat-making team in the Sixth Star Province.
It's important to understand that it's no easy feat for a cheat program to have a name and identity among players.
It has a complete technical team behind it, as well as corresponding publicity and marketing personnel.
It even has its own user base.
Some players who like to get something for nothing enjoy using cheats in games, experiencing the illusory thrill of "easily crushing others."
Cheating is okay for single-player games, since it doesn't affect normal players.
However, for online games, especially those where players compete against each other, it is highly toxic.
Like a termite that lives in a tree, it uses its sharp teeth to pierce the lifeblood of the game, greedily absorbing its nutrients to grow stronger.
It has everything from the mouth to the digestive organs, and can fiercely tear a piece of flesh from your palm.
But they just don't want to hunt for themselves!
The goal is to carry out a destructive parasitic act, completely draining a game until it is utterly devoured, at which point one's own life also ends.
