Chapter 80: It's a wasted effort

"It's kind of interesting."

Meng Shu was wearing a Bluetooth headset, listening to Mr. Liang's personal explanation inside, while handling the chicken wings in his hand.

"Thousands of precautions, but I still can't prevent trouble."

In the headphones, Mr. Liang's calm voice sounded.

[Mr. Meng, I contacted you personally this time just to ask what you mean. We can also ask the PR and legal departments to send a notice to prove that the game is not plagiarized, after all, we came out first. ]

When Meng Shu heard this, he smiled and shook his head.

"If you want to send it, you don't have to ask me, just don't bring me. Those who are clear are self-purifying, and I don't want to end up in other people's ways. ”

And I don't want to play the war of public opinion anymore.

The latter sentence was what Meng Shu was thinking in his heart, and it was also what he really meant at the moment.

"It doesn't matter if the certificate proves plagiarism, it's just a fuse, and there's no point in dwelling on this. From the fact that you mistakenly think that our only game is your studio of Infinity Online Entertainment, they don't know anything about us. ”

"At the same time, if we want to sue you and us through this incident, it can only be said that the management of their technical games is a bit chaotic in the game industry. It's a bit ridiculous to sue an opponent without knowing it. ”

On the phone, Mr. Liang was confused.

[Mr. Meng, can you explain a little more?] The current CEO of Jiyou's surname is An, and he is indeed a very capable person, but he doesn't know if he understands the game, and we don't know either. ]

Meng Shu took out a basin, poured condiments, and responded calmly while marinating the chicken wings.

"Successful businessmen don't necessarily understand the law, and competent managers don't necessarily understand game products. It is enough to be able to manage people and bring profits to the company. As for whether you understand the game or not, it doesn't matter to the manager at all. ”

"I spent some time with a lawyer to learn a little bit about intellectual property."

"If they want to sue us for 'gameplay plagiarism', 'innovation plagiarism', and 'concept plagiarism', then they are doomed to be doing useless work."

Mr. Liang's eyes lit up, and from these few words, he could hear the absolute confidence of this young entrepreneur.

[So, Mr. Meng, are you sure to deal with their prosecution?] ]

After hearing this, Meng Shu shook his head.

"Not to respond, but to ignore. This indictment is just to scare people. The only areas that can be effectively sued for intellectual property rights in the game industry are art resources, music resources, actor portraits, and script lines. As for the gameplay, the concept, and the innovation, it can't be plagiarized, so it's a waste of effort. ”

"Now that we understand that the game is in vain, what reason do we have to accompany it in vain?"

"So plain and bland, it's true."

Meng Shu chuckled in his heart.

If the gameplay is considered plagiarism, it turns out that a certain character who has fallen from the altar in the world may become the biggest winner, right?

Mr. Liang was still a little confused.

[Mr. Meng, but they have a legal department, it stands to reason that they don't know this? ] ]

"So I said it was scaremongering, and their legal department must know that. Therefore, this prosecution is just for outsiders to see, and it is also a warning to us. ”

But...

If you really don't understand, it's possible.

After all, it turned out that when a legal lawyer from a certain Kun in the world sued Station B, he even made the wrong address of their company, which made a big joke in the lawyer industry.

Mr. Liang suddenly heard a sound from the earphone, and smiled awkwardly.

[I can't learn more than you young people, and I'm at my age, so I'll keep it now.] But Mr. Meng, you are still very young, and they are ready to engage in public opinion. I'm afraid you might...]

The corners of Meng Shu's mouth lifted, interrupting Mr. Liang's words.

"At this point, Mr. Liang, you are too worried. As I said earlier, plagiarism is just a fuse, and engaging us is the real goal. After all, there is no second official entry into the horror game market. ”

"Now that we know that their purpose is to mess with us, we also know that they are doing useless work. Then you don't need to play with them, you just need to sit under the stage and watch them perform in public. ”

"If you don't feel like you're having enough fun, you can come out and applaud them and get them to keep up the good work. Just have fun watching it. ”

"I can't do it and won't do it when I show my head on stage."

When Mr. Liang heard this, he sighed.

[Mr. Meng, maybe you don't know too much about the harm of public opinion, once someone manipulates and guides, it is a force that can directly destroy you. ]

"No, I know public opinion too well."

After all, this used to be my weapon too.

Meng Shu thought about it in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face.

"The reputation of the game itself is not good, and it also has a certain degree of bad impression in the player circle, and the price and quality of its games are also one of the reasons for the dissatisfaction of players. For a company with such a poor source of public opinion, I have three ways to guide public opinion to build its own image. ”

When Mr. Liang heard this, he was directly stunned, and suddenly became curious.

[Can you tell us about your method?] ]

Meng Shu grinned.

"The first is to make a CG, which can be the next game or a game concept video to divert attention."

"The second is to interact with players, have zero contact with players, answer questions raised by players, narrow the relationship with the public, and make public opinion self-defeating."

"The third is to ignore all the small actions that Jiyu does, and do whatever they usually do, ignore Jiyou, and let them punch the cotton. If it fades away, fade away. If you want to continue, you should fabricate slander. If it's the latter, we can take the opportunity to punch back. Although they are now considered slander. ”

"But I don't think any of the three methods will work, because players aren't stupid. A company with a bad reputation suddenly targets another company in the name of fairness and plagiarism, or when this company's games are selling well, players will inevitably not think much about it. ”

"You want to treat players as tools and free trolls, and it's still possible if you say he's clean. But he can't wash his own dirty buttocks, how can he convince the player? As a result, it will only backfire. ”

After Mr. Liang heard this, he thought for a while, and then suddenly realized.

[I see, I see.] Mr. Meng, if you need anything about this, please mention it to me in time, or to Supervisor Pian. As a partner, we will definitely support you. ]

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Liang, but like I said. Both of you and me, as spectators, just watch the technical game performance. ”

Mr. Liang said that he understood, and after saying some questions about the game, he hung up the phone.

Mr. Meng continued to handle the chicken wings in his hand, but the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose again.

The plagiarism prosecution incident of Jiyou is destined to be fruitless, and it will make you disgraced.

He has seen and experienced too many of this kind of things.

It's nothing more than a sentence, there are many people who are popular.

Meng Shu remembered that in the original world, this kind of thing also happened in "Nezha's Demon Boy Descends to the World".

And it was quite a big commotion at the time.

At that time, the movie was in the period of national hits, and the word-of-mouth popularity and box office were three bumper harvests, and the future situation was very good.

Just when everyone thought that domestic animated films were slowly rising, a stage drama company called China Film jumped out and accused "Nezha" of plagiarizing their "Five-Dimensional Memory".

and sued him in court with a lawsuit, demanding compensation of about 50 million.

Netizens were stunned, the popular movie was suddenly plagiarized, and the whole crowd couldn't accept it.

They all looked at the plagiarism evidence listed by China Film, but it was okay not to look at it, and they laughed off when they saw it.

The relevant enumerated evidence is completely untenable.

So he was ridiculed by netizens and accused by netizens.

Zhongying is also very powerful, and he went directly to the line with netizens.

claimed that "Nezha" was plagiarized, and the cyberbullying of ours was the water army invited by "Nezha". Those who support us are the real righteous netizens.

So this matter fermented, and countless people who supported "Nezha" criticized China Film through various channels, allowing them to recognize the reality.

Another special effects artist came out to accuse China Film of using his work for commercial purposes without consent, making China Film gradually become a joke in this incident.

But the dead duck has a hard mouth, and Zhongying Force still sues "Nezha", and finally the case is down.

China Film lost the lawsuit, and "Nezha" did not constitute plagiarism, so that the incident really calmed down.

It also made the stage drama company and its work "Five-Dimensional Memory" a clown.

In this world, his skills are not as good as this Chinese film.

At the very least, word of mouth and reputation are inferior.

This is still engaging in public opinion, do you really think that people who go online are all good guns?

Meng Shu shook his head, no longer paying attention to this matter, and concentrating on the ingredients in his hand.

After all, it's dark.

...

V-Bo, under the 2000-word blog post of the technical game network.

There were very few comments, and none of the 50 came to me.

But the last blog post announcing Horror + Shooting had nearly 500 comments.

Therefore, after the comparison of the two articles, it seems a little abnormal.

Although there were few comments on the blog post this time, it was unexpectedly full of replies of support and recognition.

[Support technical games! Support rights protection! Support originality! 】

[The only game is really disgusting, I don't have the ability to fart, I know the idea of plagiarizing technical games, no wonder it's still a small studio]

[Do you really think that with the backer of unlimited online entertainment, you can do whatever you want, I'm laughing to death, the game is not good to do, I know how to copy other people's things, ex! ] 】

[What about "Mountain in the Sky", I think it's "Mountain of Plagiarism", right? ] Can you have some real skills in it? Making games relies on gameplay, not plagiarism, you know? 】

[The only game is not ready to take the game off the shelves? ] Waiting to be sprayed by a player? This thing is embarrassed to sell for 298 yuan? It's a shame to say it, right? 】

[Support technical games to sue the only game!] I want to be famous by plagiarism, dreaming! Indict! Indict! 】

This blog post was reprinted by many other game manufacturers and expressed their opinions.

[I hope to return the game industry to a positive energy environment]

[Rights protection is right, it can't go on like this]

[Let's crack down on this bad trend]

[The game should let players experience happiness and ease, rather than pain and fear, and support rights protection]

[I never advocate playing any horror games, which will have a bad effect on people. Except, of course, for refreshing horror games. So this kind of game is a crooked way for me]

[Rights protection is a good thing, we should support it]

...

The technical game network restricted comments on the V blog, and all supported and applauded, and the players and netizens who watched it were particularly embarrassed.

None of them are stupid, and they are applauded after the evaluation? I know everything.

There are also these game manufacturers that reprint to help speak, and some players went to check their game works, and found that they were all familiar, and they were all hung on the Xiyou platform.

Needless to say, they are all people who have signed a contract on the same boat.

It's normal to help talk.

After the players saw these comments, they didn't go through the process and started spraying directly.

V Bo can't speak, so go and force it, barrage network, the Fourth Natural Disaster Club, pod movie review!

As a result, a large number of posts appeared.

[What do you think about the technical game network suing "Sky Mountain" for plagiarizing gameplay?] 】

[A company that has treated players as leeks suddenly under the banner of justice for players? Hypocrisy! 】

[Red-eyed behavior! The accusations are purely out of dissatisfaction and an attempt to suppress small game companies.

[Excuses! Plagiarism is probably not the real reason, the technical game network has different hearts, and the actual purpose is clear]

[What qualifications does a company that plagiarizes itself have to sue others on the grounds of plagiarism? 】

In addition to being forced, the Fourth Natural Disaster Club is also a base camp for hot theories.

"V Bo locked the comment, ten years old fans can reply, all support and applaud, what about this self-directed and self-acting?"

"As a player, I've been inexplicably represented again, have you asked my opinion?"

"Seeing that other people's games are popular, they start targeting others, and you really have you in technical games, enough seeds!"

"I really don't understand, horror + shooting is proposed by technical games, yes, but this is your patent? Then the whole world can't add shooting elements to horror games, and you can't add horror elements to shooting games? It's hilarious. ”

"I'm laughing to death, I copied someone else's "Dark Forest" and made a "Jungle Horror", but 2,000 copies were not sold, right? Now he is accusing "Sky Mountain" of plagiarizing the gameplay of horror + shooting, which is also plagiarism??? Shameless enough. ”

"If horror + shooting is a kind of plagiarism, then the FPS on the market are all plagiarism, the ancestor of FPS quickly came out and sued these companies, and the five or six generations of children and grandchildren will not worry about eating and drinking."

"Not only FPS, but also those racing cars, football blue balls, and RPG upgrade systems, all of which are suspected of plagiarism. It's shameless, how can such a company appear in our country! ”

"Maliciously suppressing the leading companies, this is the tolerance of our country's leading companies? What's for the players, it's a fart, for the sake of whether you can make money yourself!? ”

"Skill games, skill games, the game is bad, and others are not allowed to do a good game. If you do it, you will suppress it, and you will sue it, what kind of leader is managing such a company? Don't he know whether his company's reputation is good or bad? ”

"What they know, just look at the lock reviews. Jiyou is still well aware of its reputation. ”

"Rough skills!"

With the bursts of denunciation and rebuttal from netizens, the technical game network is also in chaos now.

From beginning to end, Unique Games and Infinite Online Entertainment have not appeared.

At the same time, some of the games on the cyber platform have all been given bad reviews, causing its reputation to plummet.

made this matter a topic of conversation between netizens and players.

And just when the public relations department of the technical game began to spend a lot of money to delete posts in an attempt to gag the mouths of netizens.

The shimmering light of the barrage network released a dynamic.

The above content is not an accusation, nor a refutation, nor a proof.

But...

Giveaways...?
