Chapter 173: Internet Hype
Zhang Ning has done it many times when it comes to posting on the Internet.
In the past, Zhang Ning used the method of irrigation to promote his instant messaging QQ.
Although it was suppressed by major companies in the future, it has to be said that this method is very effective.
Similarly, this time, Zhang Ning also adopted a large number of water-filled postings.
However, this posting is a little different from the last posting.
Last time, it was just for advertising, but this time, Zhang Ning posted a lot of posts, but to guide players.
Yes, the Internet effect is not something that can be achieved casually.
Although sometimes there are Internet users who self-publish xiàn out. However, Internet events that often become popular have all kinds of promoters behind the scenes. This kind of pusher is also called a network pusher.
In later generations, the main thing that Internet promoters did was to turn a seemingly ordinary incident into a sensational event. Hype an ordinary person to become an Internet star...... In short, they will use all kinds of means, such as forum posting, posting, and a lot of advertorial hype. There were some media cooperation and finally succeeded.
This time, when several well-known software makers in the United States joined forces to suppress Aotin Technology, Zhang Ning thought of using the Internet and using the Internet effect to fight back.
The posts all over the sky were continuously sent to all large and small forums in the United States under Zhang Ning's order.
At the same time, the major instant messaging software also receives information about Plants vs. Zombies from time to time.
Among these messages, there is a saying that Plants vs. Zombies is maliciously slandered by competitors.
It is said that some game makers colluded with the U.S. government to ban Plants vs. Zombies in the United States.
Especially in the case of collusion with the U.S. government, it is written in as much detail as possible.
What was originally a commercial competition incident, under the appearance of a large number of posts, evolved into a malicious violation of the government.
Originally, many people were not interested in the information about Plants vs. Zombies in the media. Even if they knew that Plants vs. Zombies was scolded, they didn't want to say anything too much. They felt that the developers of Plants vs. Zombies would handle it, and besides, such an event had not yet reached the stage where it would make them angry.
Just like everyone usually watches the news, ordinary news does not arouse everyone's strong attention. And some of the worse and more eye-catching news. Not only can he attract countless clicks, but at the same time, he can also urge some netizens who don't want to leave messages or talk to make crazy replies and join their examples.
Zhang Ning has long known that if there is a war of words between the two parties, he is allowed to gain the support of some netizens and some players. However, he could not cause a mass incident. However, after joining the U.S. government, joining the U.S. government's illegal operations, etc., he has already attracted countless eyeballs in an instant.
"Damn the U.S. government, do you also discriminate?"
"Support Aotin Technology, support Plants vs. Zombies, and ask the U.S. government to stop illegal methods."
"Competitors are crazy, and they can't compete with Aoting Technology, so it's too disgusting to use the relationship to let the government come out."
A series of posts, under the guidance of Zhang Ning, enthusiastically attracted people's attention.
This is the first case in which the U.S. government intervened because of the popularity of the game.
This is also the first time on the Internet that the incident of collusion with the government by competitors has been exposed.
When many netizens saw these posts, they were furious on the spot.
Thunderbolt, a quick tap on the keyboard, gave his own opinion on the incident.
……
Henry is a video game enthusiast.
He has played all the popular video games on the market.
Recently, he became obsessed with a game called Plants vs. Zombies. Every day after work, he would play two hands.
It's just that today, he saw a post.
The content of the post is that Aotin Technology has received a notice from the government and may be removed from the shelves in the United States.
This made Henry angry on the spot.
He wondered why the U.S. government would act in such a disgusting manner.
What is the non-compliance with the laws and regulations of the United States?
However, after seeing this post, he also understood. It turned out that it was the suppression of competitors.
"No wonder the other day, there were so many game-makers attacking Plants vs. Zombies."
Recalling the criticism articles published by some game makers he saw a few days ago, Henry just looked at them casually at the time and didn't feel anything. Looking back now, I realized that this was the case.
Henry, who has never wanted to post on the Internet and has never participated in the competition of commercial companies. At this moment, complete anger arose. After reading these posts, he posted dozens of comments at the time, describing his anger at the U.S. government and competitors.
However, even after posting dozens of comments in one go, Henry felt uncomfortable.
To this end, after posting dozens of comments, Henry opened the document again and tapped the keyboard again:
Mr. Andy, I've heard your name before. Also, I've read all kinds of game reports you've written. Previously, I felt that you were a professional game maker and a professional game critic. No matter which game it is, as long as you review it, you can often dig out the essence of this game.
It's just that, today, I don't see you that way.
I don't know, have you tried Plants vs. Zombies carefully. I think you might just play it, or just watch someone else play it a few times, and then, you make the evaluation that Plants vs. Zombies is a bad game. I am deeply disappointed in you,
In my opinion, Plants vs. Zombies is a very innovative game. His innovation is not only in zombies and plants, but also in gameplay. I think that a major like yours can be understood at a glance. However, at this time, in order to suppress your competitors, you actually said such difficult words to be confident about.
Similarly, for the game dealer Achill, before, I also knew that you are a professional game dealer. Today, however, I am very angry with you. I even doubt that you are a professional game provider. If yes, then, I would think, how can you say that this is a boring game. As you said, this game has sold 4.5 million units, doesn't that explain the playability of this game?
I don't think it's possible for a game merchant like you to say such stupid things in front of such a huge number of people. But, you said it anyway. Well, I'll just treat you as stupid. Let me tell you about Plants vs. Zombies, how fun he is.
1: Plants vs. Zombies is not without a background, but his background is relatively simple, just to protect his home.
2: Plants vs. Zombies is not without characters, and his roles have been replaced by various plants.
3: As you said, Plants vs. Zombies never clears the game, and in my opinion, this is not a disadvantage of the game, but rather a strong point of the game. Because, in the setting of the game, every level, he is completely different, and there will never be repetition. Although I don't know how Austin Technology did this classic setting, I still admire it very much.
4: Having said so much of the negative, then I'll sue you directly.
Plants vs. Zombies successfully connects tower defense with real-time strategy games, and with its simplicity, it can be accepted by players of all ages. Of course, it's not limited to gender. In my opinion, this is one of the greatest games of all time, and one of the most innovative games of all time. In the future, he will definitely lead the world.
Shaking off, Henry posted the post to a forum.
In fact, there are many netizens who do the same thing as Henry.
They are on the Internet, frantically protesting.
They are constantly attacking several game makers on online forums, as well as the relevant departments in the United States.
From time to time, they even scolded and even bluntly threatened not to play these games developed by the makers of these games in the future.
Of course, more people use postes and messages to support Aotin Technology and Plants vs. Zombies.
Invisibly, Plants vs. Zombies once again appeared in front of the public's eyes.
Affected by this, some friends who didn't plan to try Plants vs. Zombies also started to buy a trial game at this time.
Because, they feel that so many supporters, so many people say that this game is fun, and it is a real loss not to play it.
Moreover, if you don't buy a trial game, the U.S. government may want to ban Aotin Technology.
All of a sudden, the sales of Plants vs. Zombies rebounded again.
No, no, no, this is not a rebound, but another blowout.
Even, such a blowout is even hotter than the sales of the first Plants vs. Zombies.
5 million.
6 million.
7 million.
8 million.
When the sales figure of the plant war zombie reached 8 million sets against the sky, all the people in the world, at this moment, completely accepted this game against the sky. Even at this moment, there are still people who feel that Plants vs. Zombies is not fun. However, in the face of the terrifying sales of 8 million units, they also had to think about whether their judgment was accurate. If you are not, you have to play this game.
However, a few are happy, a few are sad. While Plants vs. Zombies continues to sell well, on the other side, several game makers who attacked Aotin Technology before are not very comfortable.
I don't know when it started, but the glass in his house was often broken by small children throwing stones.
Originally, people thought that these games were too naughty for children, but although they were angry, they didn't feel anything.
Later, when the glass of his house was broken piece by piece, he realized that it must have been deliberate.
Until he called the police, and when the police found these children and questioned them, these children said, "Hmph, who told him to say bad things about Plants vs. Zombies, this person is so bad, I'm going to smash all the glass windows in his house." ”
Yes, for these little kids who love Plants vs. Zombies so much. When he heard someone say something bad about Plants vs. Zombies and that it was a bad game, they got angry. The best way to express your anger is to pick up the rocks on the ground and smash them at the glass windows of those guys.
That's certainly not the one that worries them the most.
What worries them the most is that several game makers have already received hints from the company's CEO. Yes, because of their uncomfortable remarks recently, there have been a very large number of single-player gamers boycotting their company's game works. Hopefully, these game makers will be able to leave the company for a while.
Such a hint made several game makers feel cold in their hearts.
Although, what is said above is only to leave the company for a period of time, and it is not really a resignation.
However, they no longer dare to think further.
Because, once they leave, there will be no place for them in this video game market that is so competitive.
