At the beginning of February, the Tianba community.

After a long investigation and evidence collection, the official of Tianba Studio issued a "Statement on the Suspected Match-fixing of Some GAL Professional Players and Club Staff" in the community.

The statement mentioned that after investigation, it was confirmed that 7 players and staff were suspected of match-fixing, and three of them have been handed over to relevant departments for handling due to serious circumstances.

The remaining four players will be subject to permanent bans......

The three staff members will not talk about it for now.

Among these four players, there is one player who is very special, although he was also banned, he was not wiped out by Tianba Studio, and he can also broadcast "Star Emperor" live and explain related games.

This is a "bonus" for him.

If he hadn't taken the initiative to report, Chen Ba might not have been able to find out the remaining few people, this is a meritorious atonement, and he won't even be given a way to live.

The problem of match-fixing has been solved.

Although it was not uprooted, in a short period of time, after this lesson and deterrence, the competition environment will be much cleaner.

But in addition to match-fixing, there is another problem that needs to be solved as soon as possible.

Broadcast rights!

In order to expand the influence of the previous GAL League, the broadcast of the event was free of charge and was given away for free.

But as the game becomes more and more popular and the number of viewers increases, it can't be given away for free, and the broadcast rights have to be sold.

The country is a thunderbolt.

Although Thunderbolt is not as influential as the two tigerfish in terms of live broadcast influence, it is better to be rich, what kind of poor Fighting Shark has become, how can there be money to buy broadcast rights?

Abroad or Twitch.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to these two platforms, you can also watch the live broadcast of the matches of the GAL league on the game client, Tianba official website and Tianba community APP.

It's just that the experience is much worse......

Especially the Tianba community APP, every time I watch the live broadcast, it is like a PPT, the signal is extremely unstable, and the sound and picture are not synchronized.

"It's time for the app to be upgraded."

Chen Ba sighed.

When I first made this APP, I didn't spend much money at all, and I asked someone to outsource and make one casually, mainly to facilitate players to visit the community forum anytime and anywhere.

With the passage of time, it is indeed time for the Tianba community APP to upgrade.

This time, I'm looking for outsourcing.

It's not that no one in the studio is going to do this, it's just that no one is free. Even if you don't have the development of the game "Love Staff", you will have to spend time porting the mobile version of "Divine Grace Continent".

That's right!

"Grace Continent" is about to be released.

Compared with the console version and the PC version, the mobile game version undoubtedly streamlines a lot of content, and there is no so-called professional version.

Of course, the core gameplay is still there.

The mobile game version of "Divine Grace Continent" can also lock the perspective on NPCs, and chase it like watching animation.

However, the mobile game is more miserable, the original tens of thousands of NPCs have been reduced to more than 1,000, a decrease of 90%.

And these NPCs are also distributed across different maps, with up to dozens of NPCs on the same map.

"Why?"

Some players questioned whether there were too few NPCs in the mobile game version? Who would be happy to cut 90% at once?

Chen Ba also explained this.

The mobile terminal can't bear so many NPCs appearing in the same scene, taking the royal capital as an example, there are thousands of NPCs living in the royal capital on the terminal game.

In this case, the slightly worse CPU on the PC side is a bit unbearable, and the game will freeze.

Ported to the mobile terminal, if you don't reduce the number of NPCs, only with the mobile phone CPU, what will it look like?

I'm afraid it's hard to walk!

I have to say that this is the most reasonable way to transplant. Without reducing the number of NPCs, it is difficult to run the game "Grace Continent" smoothly on the mobile terminal.

But then again......

The mobile game version has been cut like this, and the fee is naturally much cheaper, and it is impossible to sell it at a price on the PC console.

The mobile version is only 12 yuan.

Compared with the PC side of 68 yuan, the price of forty or fifty after the discount is not too cheap.

This also led to the fact that the mobile game version sold well, with nearly 50,000 copies sold in the IOS store, and it is difficult to count on the Android side, but the number is about the same.

"Oh no, Brother Ba!"

Just as Chen Ba was thinking about how much revenue the mobile game version would make for the studio, Zhong Shengwei hurriedly ran over and reported an emergency to him.

The studio has been hacked!

To be precise, it should be that the studio's computer was hacked, and some confidential documents and materials are at risk of leakage.

"Hacking?"

Chen Ba, who heard this word for the first time, was shocked and said, "Isn't it? Where did the hackers come from, why did they target us? ”

"I don't know!"

Zhong Shengwei had a headache and said: "The other party's technology is too strong, it comes and goes without a trace, and we can't trace it at all......"

That's as it should be.

The group of people in Tianba Studio may be okay to engage in game development, but resisting hacker intrusion is purely thinking too much.

And there is another point, that is, they have never thought about hacking, and they have not been prepared in advance, and it is normal for them to be successful.

When Chen Ba received the message, the hackers had stopped attacking and disappeared.

"The documents were leaked."

Xiao Lu cried and said with a sad face: "Damn hacker, I formatted my E drive before leaving." ”

"What's in your drive?"

Seeing Xiao Lu crying so sadly, Chen Ba frowned and said, "Hurry up and think about it, are there any important documents stored in there?" ”

"There is no important information, but there are a lot of steam games in the E disk, as well as the subscription wallpaper of the little red car."

Chen Ba: "......"

Too lazy to take care of this guy, he turned to Zhong Shengwei and asked, "What about other computers?" Has the same happened? ”

"Nope!"

"I checked it, and there are no problems anywhere except for some documents from the "Love Staff"."

Love Staff?

When Chen Ba heard this word, he immediately had a bad feeling in his heart.

This hacker can't be here for a new game, right? As a result, Tianba Studio didn't even do a good demo, and he was immediately annoyed and formatted Xiao Lu's E disk?

"Quite possibly!"

Yang Dong, who was woken up in a hurry after taking a nap, gave an analysis after learning what happened: "There are some gods and uncles on the Internet who broke the news, and their intelligence sources are not very formal. ”

Generally game diggers!

The so-called game digger is to dig out the content of the new version from the game files, and then break the news after a little analysis, so as to win the attention of fans.

This kind of person is quite annoying to game companies.

After all, the new version is updated, and they are still thinking about how to publicize it and how to tell players, but the news of the new version has spread all over the world.

But it's okay.

After all, these diggers are generally digging up "game local files", and few people will think crookedly and run to invade game companies.

But there are also some gods who break the news, the source is very problematic, the news they have, what game is scrapped, what game development progress...... It may not have been obtained through formal means.

How did that come about?

One is internal leakage, there are internal ghosts who break the news to him in advance, and it is difficult to prevent thieves day and night, which is the truth.

Another is illegal invading, which obtains some secret information or information through hacking and then resells it to specialized whistleblowers.

"Obviously, we're being targeted."

Yang Dong groaned: "It should be that after the neon video game show announced the new game, some people became interested in our new game, so there is today's thing." ”

"As for Xiao Lu's E drive being formatted, it's not so much like venting anger, it's more like a prank......"

"Prank?"

Xiao Lu's eyes widened and said, "I deleted so many precious wallpapers and games, all of them were deleted for me, do you call this a prank?" ”

"That's it!"

Chen Ba stopped Xiao Lu's complaint and said: "Since people haven't touched the key documents, it means that they know how to measure themselves, and I'm afraid that we will explode with him." ”

"Pay more attention to the news of the game industry in the past few days, and see if there is any god who broke the news and suddenly broke the information about "Love Staff".

No doubt.

"Love Staff" is in a state of high secrecy, and whoever breaks the news at this time, and the accuracy of the revelation is very high, then whoever is the most suspicious.

Of course!

The hacker may not have been done by the whistleblower, or someone else, who also bought the news.

But in any case, this is the best way to find the murderer.

"Do you want to report the crime?"

"Forget it!"

Chen Ba waved his hand, saying that this matter should be handled in a low-key manner first, and there was no need to make a big noise.

He plans to go to a professional company to upgrade the studio's firewall and security protection, and by the way, see if there is a second time.

If something like this happens again, and the upgraded firewall and security measures don't work, then he will have to consider reporting the matter and having it handled by a professional.

The hacker intrusion into Tianba's studio is not known to the outside world except for the internal employees.

Chen Ba is waiting, waiting for a certain blogger to leak the relevant information of "Love Staff". But after waiting for a few days, there was no movement.

Just as he wondered if the hackers hadn't leaked the relevant information, he received an anonymous email to his mailbox.

"What do you mean?"

Chen Ba didn't realize where the email came from at first, and almost deleted it as spam.

But when he inadvertently glanced at the content of the email, he suddenly became interested.

This is sent by a hacker.

In the email, the hacker candidly admitted the mistake and said that he was just too curious about the new game.

He assured Chen Ba that he would not leak what he saw to the outside world. Not only that, but he also offered to help a group of Tianba studios when needed.

Of course, this is conditional.

He wanted to take a look at the underlying core source code of Divine Grace Continent or Star Emperor.

"Dream on!"

Chen Ba didn't bother to reply to this person, it was too whimsical. After invading their studio, a flirtatious apology and want to prostitute their source code for nothing?

How can there be such a good thing!

What's more, what's wrong with hackers? Hackers can't help it with "Divine Grace Continent" and "Star Emperor"?

If he could get the core code himself, would he send this email? It must have been tried, and it turned out to be nothing!

Thinking of this, Chen Ba seemed to feel that this was not a simple hacking incident.

It looks like a hacker, but I can't tell which animation company is behind it!

You don't have to guess to know it all.

"Grace Continent" stirs up trouble in the animation industry and sets off such a big storm, those animation companies must want to make a copycat cracked version of "Grace Continent".

It turned out to be a failure.

It was because of the failure of the copy, coupled with the fact that the game could not be cracked, that led to this hacking incident, as well as the emails left by the hackers.

"Come on!"

In this regard, Chen Ba did not panic at all.

Hacking is scary, but what do you get by hacking into Tianba Studio? He can get nothing but wreak.

New game leaked?

The leak is leaked, whose game company hasn't been hacked yet? It's not a big deal, it's a big deal to publicize it in advance!

Sure enough.

When Chen Ba rejected the hacker's proposal, the Internet soon broke out a lot of information about Tianba Studio's new game "Love Staff".

Even the original painting was leaked.

Xiao Lu and Zhong Shengwei were in a hurry, but Yang Dong said that he didn't care, he would let him break the news if he loved to break the news, anyway, in addition to these original paintings, they couldn't get more valuable information.

In a sense.

What they can break the news is only a very small part of the whole game, what can a few original paintings do?

As long as the source code is not leaked.

During the neon video game exhibition, "Love Staff" has already exposed part of the gameplay, and the content disclosed by these revelations is just to help hype up the heat.

As for what the impact is?

The biggest impact is that everyone learned about the development progress of "Love Staff", which was not as fast as Brother Ba said.

According to the time back, I am afraid that during the Neon Game Show, this game did not even have a "new folder"!

The players are quite calm.

Especially the fans who are active in the Tianba community, they don't feel strange or surprised by this breaking news.

"Brother Ba paints cakes, isn't that a traditional craft?"

"The owner of Tianba Mansion said that you are right, the second phase of the house has not been built yet!"

"Hacking into Brother Ba's computer, this hacker is not very good at brains! What else are you looking for besides the empty new folder? ”

"Don't be embarrassed, people have found a few original paintings, and there is still a harvest......"

"Anyway, why didn't the hacker brother invade the server of "Star Emperor" and send 1 million source stones to everyone?"

"Is there a possibility...... Even if you are sent a million Source Stones, you can't spend them? ”

That's right!

At first, when I saw the forum and suggested that hackers hack into the server of "Star Emperor" and give everyone free source stones, Chen Ba was still a little panicked.

But he thought about it again.

What are you afraid of? Although the Star Emperor is an online game, it doesn't rely on in-app purchases to eat, is it useful to modify the source stone?

No matter how many source stones there are, one million, one million, one hundred million, it's useless if you can't spend it!

In this way, "Star Emperor" is actually the safest online game in the world? Even if the server is hacked and the game is temporarily closed, players can still find a krypton channel!

After all, you hacked the game server of "Star Emperor", what does it matter to me Fairy Digital? No matter how good a hacker is, can he still modify the price of the graphics card?

Sorry to be late
