The trigger for everything was the report in the People's United Information Industry News.
The entire report did not devote too much attention to the fact that Sea Lion Group plagiarized World of Warcraft owned by Yunmeng Games in order to win the sympathy of readers and netizens. It only reported Yunmeng Group’s use of brain-computer interface technology. Research, and the AI intelligent system "Zero" used in World of Warcraft.
It was this report that shocked countless players.
It turns out that the NPCs in the game are controlled by AI!
It turns out that the reason why Yunmeng Games plans to invest in building a supercomputing center has such a purpose!
Not only were they shocked, many players were even moved to tears.
What does it mean to be a socially responsible company
What does it mean to be a company with a dream
Yunmeng Group, which invests limited money into an infinite future, undoubtedly fits this standard perfectly.
The dreamlike brain-computer interface technology is almost every player’s dream.
Who doesn't want that one day, which company can invent a technology that allows people's consciousness to directly enter the virtual world, instead of being limited to a small screen, and start their second life in the virtual world
Not just players from Xia Kingdom.
Almost every player in the world has had such a dream at one time or another.
And now, there is such a game company that is not just thinking about it, but actually taking such a step. How can we not be excited
Even if it looks more like a pie at the moment, at least the billions thrown at the supercomputer have allowed everyone to see that this is not drawing a pie, but someone has already lit a stove fire.
At the same time, a new flame is rising in the hearts of countless players...
[Fuck! It turns out that the NPCs we talked to were not played by customer service.]
[It’s actually AI? !]
[Is Yunmeng Games’ technology so awesome?]
[Let me ask you, if you have this technology, you can make a game or a chat software. (funny)]
[Don’t tell me, if such an awesome AI learns to send emoticons, I may not be able to tell whether it is a human or a ghost.]
[Haha, while some companies have begun to explore the future, some companies are still racking their brains to study how to let players earn money for jumping in line. It’s really magical.]
[Compared to World of Warcraft, this "Member Epic" is a piece of shit.]
[Support Yunmeng Games! I have uninstalled Endless Epic!]
The rhythm like the waves began to spread on major social platforms and continued to ferment.
It doesn’t just happen in bihu and bib...
Even Hiace Group's own instant messaging software and game enthusiasts' groups are scolding Hiace for being shameless, posting screenshots of deleted games and quitting the game to express support for Yunmeng Group.
In this wave of rhythm, the biggest headaches are undoubtedly those anchors and up hosts who have signed promotion agreements with Sea Lion Group.
Originally, live broadcasts of endless epics only lost viewers, but now broadcasting endless epics not only loses viewers, they are all labeled as lackeys of the giants, and they have already started to lose fans. Who can bear this
But fortunately, the promotion agreement signed by most people is only for one week, and as of now, one week has just passed.
As a result, those ups and anchors who were still broadcasting endless epics a few days ago stepped forward and issued statements to withdraw from the game, and even implemented the operation of deleting characters from live broadcasts to attract a wave of popularity.
And this naturally includes say night.
As the top guy in the gaming area and the runner-up in the Warcraft Warcry Cup, he can be said to be the most criticized by fans, and he was even labeled as a 25-year-old.
Fortunately, his PR was quite timely, and he clarified that the live broadcast of "Endless Epic" was only due to the contract relationship, saying that he would not continue to broadcast the game after the contract expired, which calmed the rhythm in the live broadcast room.
The only one who feels regretful is probably Zhang Xiang.
Some time ago, because he couldn't get in the queue, he was so angry that he deleted the game on the spot. Now everyone was deleting characters on live broadcast, but he had no characters to delete. Seeing that the popularity was there, he couldn't take advantage of it, but he was greedy. I feel itchy in my heart.
In addition, the viewers who were diverted some time ago because "he is the only one with more than 500,000 fans in the entire game area who is broadcasting World of Warcraft" are now beginning to return to other live broadcast rooms.
This made him extremely uncomfortable after experiencing the peak of his life...
…
"These white-eyed wolves!"
A roar came from the office of the Sea Lion Group's "Endless Epic" project department.
The employees in the public office area were shivering and doing their own things silently, not daring to make any loud noise.
At the same time, in the office, Huang Chao was staring at the report in his hand with an ugly expression, and endless anger was brewing on his red face.
Taking a deep breath, he said slowly.
"...Who are the anchors who participated in the account deletion activity?"
The expression on Zhao Qiguang's face was also ugly, and he said with difficulty.
"… all."
A ball of anger rushed into his heart, Huang Chao's eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes, and his fists on the table were clenched tightly.
He didn't expect that the Yunmeng Group, which had been silent for so many days, would actually hold back such a big move from him.
Six o'clock in the evening was the time when the beta version of World of Warcraft was launched. He never expected that at this juncture, what was originally just a small-scale beating rhythm would suddenly turn into such a turbulent storm.
What surprised him even more was that those anchors were so unruly.
One moment I just got the money, and the next second I turned against the person. No dog can turn against someone so fast!
"Notify the Legal Department..."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qiguang's face instantly became a little embarrassed, and he gritted his teeth and said.
"Mr. Huang... With all due respect, this is adding fuel to the fire. It would be okay if it were one or two people, but now it is obviously not one or two people. Even if we find the most popular among them and send them a lawyer's letter, it will not work. Whether it will work or not, at least public opinion will be more unfavorable to us."
Deleting the account is not considered a breach of contract. The right to dispose of the game account and characters is in the hands of Party B. The contract only stipulates what kind of publicity Party B needs to cooperate with Party A within a week, and how many hours of live streaming Party A’s game will be.
Now that the contract between the two parties has expired, as long as the anchors or up hosts do not make any radical remarks or publicly post the contract between the two parties, it does not constitute a breach of contract to any extent.
The operation team of World of Warcraft is very smart, but they decided to launch the beta version a week later, and they even chose to launch a counterattack at this juncture.
Even if the "Endless Epic" project team and even the Sea Lion Group behind it wanted to do public relations, it would be too late.
"Anyway...that's it."
Clenching his fists tightly, Huang Chao continued with a gloomy face.
"Go and talk to the planning department. I want to see an event planning plan before noon. The time will start from the time when World of Warcraft goes online at 6 o'clock tonight and will last for three days. You can also give membership as a gift. Whether it's points, or limited edition skins and weapons... I don't care what plan they come up with, I only have one requirement, and that is to keep our online numbers!"
"Even if it means overdrafting the next month's turnover!"
Zhao Qiguang's expression flashed and he nodded seriously.
"I'll go right away."
"Don't worry, I have one more thing here. You go to the technical department and inform the person in charge of the technical department to ask them to always pay attention to the operation of the World of Warcraft server. If their server is full... even if it is slightly stuck or lost. It should be reasonable to wrap things up."
Hearing these words, Zhao Qiguang was slightly stunned at first, and then looked at Mr. Huang sitting behind the desk in surprise.
"You mean..."
Huang Chao's eyes flashed and he interrupted.
"Don't make wild guesses, I didn't say anything."
