scored a bloody collapse, but Zhong Ming was indifferent.

His personal Weibo did not post an explanation, and the official Weibo of Shimmer Studio was also very silent, allowing many sunspots to carnival on the Internet and allowing public opinion to continue to ferment.

Although Shimmer Studios has made several good games, it also has sunspots.

in the studio.

Looking at so many bad reviews, Jia Jia felt a little big, and he looked at Zhong Ming: "Boss, don't we really need to clarify?" The content in the game is obviously a real case, and these people can't even get to the point. ”

Zhong Ming didn't care: "Don't pay attention to them, the media will report in the next two days, let them jump for two days." ”

Jia Jia nodded: "Well, I'm just worried that such a collapse in reputation will have some bad impact on our studio...... Moreover, this is too collapsed, right? Completely beyond my expectations, I originally thought that even if everyone didn't know that this was a real case adaptation, the score should be above 7 points, but now this trend may fall directly to 6 points. ”

Zhong Ming continued to be busy with his own affairs: "It's normal to have a professional sunspot with one star. ”

"A professional sunspot with one star?" Jia Jia was stunned, "Our studio, also have this treatment?" ”

Zhong Ming smiled: "Of course." ”

Rating, it is indeed unreasonable.

The game "Demons in the World", Zhong Ming's positioning is "public welfare", it is a game that makes players uncomfortable, because only when players feel this uncomfortable feeling can they understand a series of unbelievable things that happened in the Science and Technology Defense College, and why the alienation of personality occurs after the child enters it.

So, it's not a game to please players.

Before the large-scale appearance of related reports, many people did not pay attention to these, and naturally questioned the authenticity and rationality of the game.

But no matter how much you question it, the rating of this game should not fall to more than 6 points. Because the quality of this game is checked by Zhong Ming himself, whether it is action, model or in-game scenes, the completion of all aspects is very high.

In terms of the plot of the game, the choice of each branch line and the setting of the ending are also relatively reasonable.

Even if the player doesn't know it's a real event, it's fair to say that a 7 isn't too much.

Zhong Ming found that on many review sites, many players who did not buy the game scored one star on a large scale, and the proportion of one star has reached more than 6%, which is an extremely abnormal ratio.

As for why so many people are giving one star?

Apparently because Shimmer Studio provoked a group of people.

Some are channel providers, R&D providers, and some are players.

The so-called "wood shows in the forest, the wind will destroy it", Shimmer Studio has gained so much success and attention from the beginning of its inception to the present, and the game is loved by players.

Here, Zhong Ming does the channel by himself, and he simply no longer shares a penny with the channel, and the two sides have long been at odds; As for other developers in Huaxia District, there must be many people who are applauded and applauded by Shimmer Studio's works.

Peers are enemies, and they are naked competitors with each other, and if they can't benefit directly, they can benefit indirectly.

And there is a group of people, a small group of relatively special players, who are spontaneously giving the game "Demons in the World" a one-star negative review.

It looks incredible on the surface, but in fact the internal logic is easy to figure out.

Because all the current games of Shimmer Studio have a distinct Chinese cultural color.

"The Latent Red Path" is about a kind of family and country feelings in a special historical period, and about human nature in a desperate situation of sacrifice, dedication and despair.

Other games such as "Ink and Smoke", "Taiwu Picture Scroll", "Zodiac Guardian" and other games are all based on highlighting and promoting Chinese culture.

In the minds of many players, Shimmer Studio is a studio with ideals and feelings, and a studio that takes the promotion of Chinese culture as its own responsibility, which is a big plus.

But for others, this can cause intense physical discomfort.

If it is placed in Zhong Ming's previous life, this part of the people can probably be called the "hating party", but in this world, it may be that the name "hating the country" is no longer accurate, and it should be called "hating the Chinese party".

Anyway, people are still the same kind of people.

These people advocate Western culture and devalue Chinese culture as worthless in order to demonstrate their superiority;

Pursue double standards in the evaluation of Chinese and Western cultural works;

He has repeatedly emphasized that "art has no borders", that it is necessary to "abandon the outdated concept of countries and ethnic groups", and to "embrace the integration of world cultures".

But the "integration of world cultures" they embrace is nothing more than the overall acceptance of Western culture, because in this world, Western culture obviously still occupies the mainstream position and has a strong right to speak.

It is not surprising that this part of the population has a physiological disgust when they see Shimmer Studio.

The game ratings of Shimmer Studio were very high before, on the one hand, because Shimmer Studio's reputation was not too obvious at that time, and it couldn't attract the attention of so many sunspots; On the other hand, because the quality of the game is really good, a few malicious bad reviews are not black.

But now, many channel providers and the PR departments of game companies have joined this melee, and under this kind of fueling, "The Devil in the World" has made them see a vulnerable target, with so many obvious "shortcomings", of course, to concentrate on the crazy output.

All of a sudden, there was a miasma of black smoke, and the sound of "Shimmer Studio is finished" was very loud.

……

It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that the slap in the face came so quickly.

On July 1st, "Demons in the World" was officially released.

On July 5th, an article titled "The Evil Hidden in the Sun" appeared on the hot news website, and the first sentence of the report shocked many people: "Electrotherapy, adding circles, and reporting each other...... Many people know these terms from a game called "Demons in the World". But did you know that these are based on real cases in reality......"

Immediately afterwards, a series of reports began to explode on various information websites as if they had been discussed!

On Wutong Information, "Interview with the Science and Technology Defense College: This place really exists! has sparked a lot of heat.

On the video website, a video privately produced by the UP master "In-depth Revelation of the So-called "Science and Technology Defense College": Gray Market, Crime is Revealed! 》The number of hits exceeded one million in a short period of time!

Written reports, video materials, and many oral accounts of victims who came out of similar places......

and so on, the overwhelming information broke out in an instant, and instantly became a hot spot of attention on the whole network!

In the comment area of these news, the people who eat melons are confused.

"Something! , isn't this the real-life version of "The Devil in the World"? ”

"Even the layout of the school inside is similar to the one in the game!"

"Does this kind of place really exist? Is this magical realism? Not kidding, right? ”

"Are there really victims?!"

"There really is a place like this???

"It's true, in fact, just search for keywords like 'Science and Technology Defense College' and you can immediately find a lot of them."

"And the interview with the victim, it's the same as in the game, it's really electrotherapy?!"

"What did the sunspots say before? The game is too fake and out of reality? So what is it called? ”

"Hehehe, "The Devil in the World" is out of reality, it's really funny, this game is about reality, that's what is happening now! I can't stand playing games for hours, and someone has been locked up for months at the real-life Techno-Defense College!! ”

The first reaction of most people who eat melons when they see these news is shock.

Because it is hard to believe that in the current situation where science and technology are so developed, there will still be such a place, not only the illegal detention and abuse of minors, but also the continuous development of the law, and continue to accumulate money!

After seeing a report, many people who eat melons are still a little suspicious and go to the Internet to search. As a result, this search does not matter, a large number of reports, as well as bidding advertisements issued by the College of Science and Technology Defense Training, are overwhelming.

Obviously, this is not a phenomenon that only exists in one place or one institution, but in a universal way!

What's even more terrifying is that almost all the bad endings in the game "The Devil in the World" can find corresponding endings in reality.

Those who commit suicide by drinking laundry detergent are;

Those who have been abused to death in institutions;

After coming out, his temperament changed greatly, and even killed his father and mother, there are;

Even the original phrase in the game, "I've been in it for so long, just for these few knives", can find the prototype in reality!

What's more, this is only exposed, it was a person who died, or killed his parents, so it was in the news;

But there are many more children, they are sent in, and they finally come out, their parents spend a lot of money, and the children are subjected to inhuman torture in these institutions, but, there is no reporting, no attention, and no one even cares before.

The abuse and pain these children have experienced in institutions are buried deep in their hearts, and even their parents may not know about it......

Many Professor Yang continue to deceive everyone by deceiving their superiors and subordinates, abusing them in the name of education, and even taking advantage of this to make crazy money!

Even in "In-depth Revelation of the So-called "Science and Technology Defense College": Gray Market, Crime is Revealed! It was also revealed in this video that this does not reflect the problem of a certain person or an institution, but a terrifying market with tens of billions of dollars behind it!

In this in-depth analysis, it is not only to justify some of the phenomena in the game "Demons in the World", but also to analyze the causes of these phenomena in depth.

For example, why do parents deceive their children into going to the Science and Technology Defense College?

Why don't parents believe their children's words, but instead believe the so-called "Professor Yang"?

Why did the parents who watched at the gate support Professor Yang from the bottom of their hearts, and even willingly formed a special team to arrest the children who escaped?

Why does the location of the school have to be in the wilderness?

Why does the school not allow parents to visit the child for a period of time when they first come in, and only after a certain period of time (a few weeks or even a month or two)?

Why did the media pay attention to it before, but in the end it failed to expose this matter?

Why hasn't the Department of Justice taken action?

And so on, it is precisely the unreasonable place where many people question the game "Demons in the World", but these unreasonable places really happen in reality, and even the vast majority of institutions similar to the Technical Defense College have adopted this management method, just like that!

Obviously, there are deep-seated reasons for this, which no one has studied before, but when you really dig deeper, these seemingly unreasonable behaviors actually have a unified internal logic.

Internally, we pursue the management of terror, and let children cooperate and lie because of fear through the way of mutual reporting, oppression, and abuse by students; Externally, in a deceptive way, it is out of the mainstream media's field of vision, and everything seems to be normal on the surface.

Just like the situation encountered by Gao Yongzhou in the first interview, if many people only took a cursory glance at the surface of this science and technology defense college, and thought that this was a normal institution of militarized management, they would not have thought about how dirty it was inside!

……

As soon as these news broke out, players' understanding of the game "Demons in the World" was completely subverted!

Not real?

Irrationality?

On the contrary, the game is too real and reasonable!

Is there anything more real than a case that exactly reproduces in reality?

Isn't it fun?

It's really not fun.

Because the purpose of this game is not for you to play!

The biggest significance of the game "Demons in the World" is that it uses the game's technique and a unique narrative perspective to make all players really feel the feelings of those victims, and let everyone feel this horror and alienation!

From the perspective of Zeng Yu, the victim, the player enters the Science and Technology Defense College and is forced to make choices again and again.

The first questioning, did you give in?

Do you want to tell the truth to your father?

Psychotropic drugs, should I take them?

Do you want to try to escape?

……

All these options seem to be Zeng Yu's choice, but they are actually the player's choice.

It is the choice that every player brings into the role of Zeng Yu and faces that extreme situation.

It is precisely because it is the player's own choice that they will empathize with the victim's mentality, and this psychological stimulation is far more shocking than those text reports and video materials!

And this is precisely the value of the "game" as a form of entertainment, or at a higher level, this art form.

It's interactive and immersive, allowing you to really "travel" into that world, make your own choices, and then live with the consequences.

And that's why Zhong Ming decided to make the game "The Devil in the World", using such an uncomfortable game for players, so that they can truly experience how terrible places such as "Techno-Defense College" are!
