Chapter 246 Fuse

In 02, it can be said that the most severe punishment for players because of cheating can be said to be unique!

The reason why Weixin dared to defy the world's condemnation and make this seemingly arrogant decision was because another thing happened that touched Su Wen's nerves.

AT THE END OF JUNE, SUVIN GOT BAD NEWS FROM ACTOZ, THE ITALIAN GAME OPERATOR OF LEGENDS 2, LEAKED THE INSTALLER FOR THE GAME SERVER.

According to ACTOZ's post-mortem investigation, it was due to the mismanagement of its Italian game operator, that the server installer, was leaked by a departing employee and publicly disseminated online.

At present, this matter has not been transmitted back to China, but Su Wen knows that this is the beginning of the private server of "Legend" in his previous life!

In the future, the flood of legendary private servers is due to the outbreak of this incident, and netizens only need to spend a few thousand yuan to buy the source code of "Legend 2".

Plug-ins are the fuse that leads players to move to private servers, and Su Wen doesn't want to see this happen to "Legend 2" operated by WeChat.

Therefore, Su Wen wanted to clean up the impact of plug-ins before the appearance of private servers.

It also allows Weixin to deal with the legendary private service in the future without distraction!

Weixin deleted 100,000 players who have relied on plug-ins for a long time at once, potentially releasing a strong signal to all players that "Legend 2" does not allow the existence of plug-ins!

Deleting the game account is the most severe punishment for the player, which means that the player loses this game character!

Many players whose accounts have been deleted are dumbfounded, and they never thought that they would be deleted because of the use of plug-ins in the game!

And some people are sad and some people are happy, and this saying is also very appropriate for legendary players.

Players who have never used plug-ins applauded this move by WeChat!

I have been bullied by players with plug-ins for a long time, and today I see them deleted from their game accounts, can I not be happy and angry?

The remaining players who have used plug-ins and were missed by WeChat messages are now concerned and afraid that the next one will be their turn.

The cheating phenomenon, which was originally very serious in "Legend 2", has also been curbed in a short period of time!

Weixi's practice of leaving no room for deleting the player's account was originally just causing shock among legendary players, and the outside world didn't care about it!

But this matter, five days after Weixin deleted the accounts of 100,000 players, the matter was further fermented.

In order to express their protest against the dictator's practice of WeChat, many gamers whose accounts have been deleted have formed an anti-dictator coalition.

First of all, he threatened Weixi, if the game account is not restored, it will drive players to boycott "Legend 2"!

Immediately afterwards, more than 20 representatives of legendary players from all over the country gathered in Jiangzhou and held a huge media conference.

At the press conference, these more than 20 players showed the media that they and their lawyers jointly drafted a lawsuit document for Weixin to delete game accounts without the consent of players, which constitutes infringement.

The media is boiling because this is the first time in the history of online games that players have sued game operators!

Regardless of the final outcome, this is an event that will go down in history!

The media with good things make remarks on their own platforms.

"The player is the god of online games, and now that God has spoken, what should you do with WeChat?"

After the media's promotion, Weixin's practice of deleting the accounts of 100,000 gamers has caused widespread heated discussions in the outside world.

The focus of the outside world is not in the cause of this incident, but on the outside.

Instead, there is a scramble to discuss, as a game operator, whether Weixin has the right to delete players without their consent?

Dare to risk the world's condemnation and delete the gamer's account, in 02, except for WeChat, no other game operator dares to take such a move.

Posts about legends deleting player accounts were overwhelming on major game forums, and posts were deleted and posted, posted and deleted.

Therefore, micro-news has once again become the focus of heated discussions in the outside world!

The decision to delete the gamer's account was made by Su Wen himself.

"Legend 2" now has more than 40 million registered users, daily active IPs have reached 6 million, and the removal of 100,000 players who have long relied on plug-ins will not have much impact on "Legend 2".

It can also play a role in purifying the unfairness generated by the game world, so the threat of players to boycott "Legend 2" together, Su Wen didn't take it to heart at all!

As for the infringement lawsuit initiated by the Gamers Alliance, Su Wen is even less worried.

The current domestic laws and regulations are still quite vague about online games, and there are no clear instructions.

It is not clear whether Weixi's act of deleting a player's account constitutes infringement.

The agreement between the game operator and the player is, to put it bluntly, a unilateral agreement.

Players don't have much bargaining power with operators at all, and even though WeMess acts like a bully, even the government has no power to regulate it!

From the moment this decision was made, Su Wen thought about any possibility.

Even if the worst-case scenario is met and the government intervenes, Weixin will only restore the game accounts of these 100,000 players!

However, in view of the fact that this matter has become a social incident. Su Wen still asked people to draft an open letter, which was published in the Herald the next day to eliminate some unnecessary social impact.

The open letter, titled "The Damage of Cheating on Online Games".

"A letter to the outside world:

As the operator of the "Legend 2" game, we at Weixin have always adhered to a fair and just mentality to operate "Legend 2".

But the road is long, plug-ins have been banned since they appeared in November last year, and now they are close to reaching a shocking stage.

The so-called plug-in is a kind of hacking software.

Cheating can be modified by modifying the online game client, so that players can easily obtain many virtual items that take a long time and effort to obtain under normal conditions.

Such as weapons, money, levels, etc. in the game, cheats are like doping in the virtual world.

The emergence of cheats has seriously disrupted the balance of the game's virtual world, and it is extremely unfair to legitimate players who do not use cheats.

I also feel that "Legend 2" has been seriously eroded by plug-ins, which has caused many players to complain.

For this group of players who have relied on plug-ins for a long time, after repeated dissuasion, they still do not repent, and we can only helplessly make the deal of deleting the game account!

At the same time, we also welcome players to file lawsuits, hoping that the judgment of the law will play a key role in the fairness of online games! ”

An open letter that is not too short clearly expresses to the outside world that Weixin's current attitude is tough!
