Not long after, a large number of his former online trolls, while continuing to smear "Mortal Souls" online, secretly betrayed their own camp and started playing "Mortal Souls" themselves.
This interview was also perfectly timed, as it happened to lead to the discovery of a key figure.
Therefore, this news article went viral across the internet as soon as it was released last night.
The players were utterly astonished.
Holy crap, this is amazing!!
The cult leader is truly a godlike figure; he can even bring drug addicts back from the brink of addiction. What is it about his games that makes them so captivating?
[Is being a paid online commentator really that fun? You get to play games for free, and there are so many brothers to play with. My VR headset is already ready, where do I sign up?]
[Hahaha, the Mortal Soul is really fun! You guys should try it!]
Drug use is a serious and sensitive issue, but it has turned into a real-life joke.
Mingyan stared at the screen for a while, then put his phone down, his face full of black lines.
Schrödinger, looking on with amusement, said, "Don't you feel a great sense of accomplishment? Bringing a drug addict back to the fold is a truly meritorious deed."
Mingyan said helplessly, "Let the marketing team issue a statement, something positive. We should focus on criticism and education for players like this."
When it's time to guide public opinion, it's necessary to do so appropriately.
These shameless StarCraft players have already started making new memes.
Posts with titles like "[Scientific research proves that 'Soul of Mortals' is more addictive than xxx'" have appeared, and many players are even calling themselves "Soul Scholars".
Others greeted people on the forum:
Hey, did you smoke today?
[I've taken a deep breath, I'll be right there with Emmanuel!]
Let's smoke together tonight!
Seeing this, Mingyan looked helpless and quickly called in customer service to manage these mischievous monkeys on the forum.
At this point, the most bewildered were actually the heads of the cruise ship capital's online marketing team.
"What's going on?"
"Why would we pay online trolls to play a game on Blue Star, and even get such a big media coverage promoting it?"
"The readership has already exceeded 100 million! What kind of traffic is this?! Why the hell is this just benefiting 'The Mortal Soul'?!"
"Where's 'Beast Horde Vanguard'?! We spent so much on advertising, and the game itself, 'Beast Horde Vanguard,' doesn't even have a name yet! What the hell is going on?!"
"Can this smear campaign continue? The entire internet knows we're deliberately trying to discredit Earth."
"Uh, so what do we need to do now?"
They looked at each other, completely bewildered.
Chapter 80 Martial Arts Manual
It's impossible to criticize "Soul of Mortals" without it, especially since it's currently during the Blue Star Carnival, and the player enthusiasm is simply unparalleled.
There's no way to hype up "Beasts of the Horde" anymore.
This game was only released for about a month, and it's already completely dead, which has also caused Tingxi Studio's reputation to plummet.
Inside Cruise Capital, some unpleasant thoughts have begun to emerge.
Several big investors originally saw Zhu Wenshu's "talent" and wanted to make his game more commercial to make money.
But now, let alone money, he lacks even the most basic popularity, which makes people seriously doubt Zhu Wenshu's abilities.
Zhu Wenshu worked tirelessly within the company, even selling one of his invested properties, finally managing to win over a superior who agreed to give him another chance.
But this time, he had even less room to maneuver.
The directive from above is: regardless of the subject matter or background, as long as it makes money!
If the profits meet the company's expectations, Zhu Wenshu will continue to receive investment in promotion; but if they fail to meet the minimum requirements, the entire Tingxi Studio will be laid off and reorganized, and Zhu Wenshu will be reassigned to another group to work on other projects.
In short, given Zhu Wenshu's proud personality, he would never accept the latter ending.
At this point, Zhu Wenshu was already very flustered.
Honestly, he didn't really know what kind of games could make money... He himself was also quite impressed when he created a game like "Empire Grip" that was both critically acclaimed and commercially successful.
Because of his instant fame and the overwhelming reputation of being a "genius," he believed that he was truly talented and that any game he made would become a hit.
But now he realized—talent? He didn't seem to have any talent at all! Otherwise, why would "Beast Horde Vanguard" have such dismal results?
What should we do then?
If his next game doesn't make money, his true colors will be revealed. At that point, forget about achieving success and fame; what will happen to his betting agreement with Cruise Capital...?
That's a debt of over three million!
When the word "making money" is mentioned—
Zhu Wenshu turned his attention to the Dragon Slayer Sword Studio, the place where the industry-renowned "God of Wealth" was located.
Since launching "Idle Heroes" last year, Tu Long Bao Dao has successively acquired and operated several smaller projects.
