Of course, the main focus of the shots was on "Mingyan, head of Lanxing Studio" and "Zhu Wenshu, head of Tingxi Studio".
This time, just as Zhu Wenshu wished, his speech was recorded completely and without omission.
In the video, Zhu Wenshu says, "A combat adventure game without combat is utterly worthless."
At this point, the ever-growing barrage of comments began relentlessly criticizing the characters.
What?! Minecraft Peace Mode players are protesting!
[Do you have some misunderstanding about the Redstone faction? If I threw a nuclear power plant at your face, would you accept it?]
[You call yourself a designer? This game looks like it'll be fun! What kind of taste do you have?]
Later, Zhu Wenshu and Mingyan had a brief debate. Mingyan gave "Finger Hero" an 8.5 rating, while Zhu Wenshu gave it a 3.0 rating.
The moment the sign lit up, the live chat exploded with comments.
What kind of judges are these? Did they get in through connections?!
[I was there at the time, and I felt nauseous the moment this person opened his mouth. The organizers must have known, because all of his footage was later cut.]
This guy is completely clueless; where does he get the audacity to challenge the cult leader?
[Was this intentionally staged for the sake of the show? The presence of this villain has completely lowered the overall level of the competition.]
Netizens don't care about order at the scene, nor do they remember to maintain a semblance of peace.
Many people are straightforward; if they don't like someone, they will definitely say it.
In the comments section of this post, an insider replied:
[I know Tingxi, the one who made *Empire's Grip*. The game concept was pretty good, and it was popular for a while. But since last year, they've been making random, haphazard changes. The new version's balance is a complete mess; it's obviously copying the tactics of the *Dragon Slayer* studio. Ha! Trying to cash in, huh? Don't they even know how to first win over players? It's a complete blunder!]
This kind of person is disgusting. Why do you have to talk so much when others are playing a match?
I also quit Empire's Grip last year! The new design is utter garbage. They've removed all the highlights that attracted players and increased the parts we hated the most by three or four times. I just don't understand how they managed to be so precise.
[Just look at Zhu Wenshu's book; he has absolutely no idea what's good about a game. At best, he just got lucky and came up with an idea. And he has the nerve to pretend to be a "genius"?]
[The cult leader is so gentle, waaaaah! Why be polite to someone like that?]
Some people quickly discovered the final destination of "Fingerman".
—He actually cooperated with the real owner of the Dragon-Slaying Saber!
[I'm dying of laughter, is this what this person calls a "completely useless" game?]
[A new game category that even the God of Wealth wants to personally handle is shamelessly called trash by a certain "judge." Both are about making money, yet this "judge" managed to ruin a 9.5-rated game; while another game, like "Dragon Slayer Sword," topped the sales charts on its first day of release. Genius? 6666666]
[Having missed out on a billion yuan in profits, how does Chief Designer Zhu feel now?]
[This is such a quick slap in the face! Less than six months have passed, holy crap! Hahahaha!]
[The game "Idle Heroes" completely proves that this judge is just a good-looking but foul-mouthed idiot. Enough said, I'm going to download it and see how fun it really is.]
The comments were overwhelmingly negative!
The edited video was so excellent that it perfectly showcased Zhu Wenshu's arrogance and conceit.
Some people even moved it to other websites, which attracted more attention and created a popular tag.
#Zhu Wenshu with Tingxi Rolling#
This situation arises partly because the content of the Star Show competition recordings is indeed quite offensive.
Another part, however, is that the recent updates to Empire Grip have left players utterly disappointed.
After Zhu Wenshu received investment from the cruise line, Tingxi Studio implemented a performance system and set performance targets—it was imperative to increase the paid subscription rate and the average paid subscription rate!
Zhu Wenshu racked his brains for this, and finally came up with the idea of borrowing the Dragon Slayer Sword method to insert some unbalanced in-game items, maliciously forcing players to pay to buy them.
Thus, a perfectly good game with a 9.5 rating was ruined by these nonsensical updates and changes.
Players, driven by love turned to hate, went from being fans to haters, and have already voiced their dissatisfaction in secret, but have not yet fully united.
This time, as the main person in charge of Tingxi, Zhu Wenshu's words and actions became the key to everything!
Zhu Wenshu only discovered these voices online after Tingxi's meeting ended.
They gave him a thorough dressing-down!
After the address of Tingxi Studio was revealed online, many players even sent blood-stained razor blades.
—The postal system doesn't normally send these things, so these players actually went to the trouble of making the trip themselves to put their "letters" into Tingxi's mailbox.
One envelope contained the following message in large, blood-red letters: "Trash designer! Get out of the gaming industry!"
Zhu Wenshu turned pale with anger just hearing his secretary relay the information.
After locking the office door, the sounds of things being smashed and thrown came from inside.
Inside the studio, the employees all lowered their heads, not daring to say much, but the thought of resigning grew stronger.
—Working at Tingxi means getting yelled at every day! Either by the boss or by the players.
If there were money to be made, that would be fine, but now the bonuses are also tied to the player's spending rate...
"Empire's Grip" has been revised to the point of near demise, with no future in sight. What are we waiting for if we don't leave now?
