Build a gaming empire from scratch

Chapter 588 Your mod, is it serious?
Before officially releasing the module sharing platform, Lin You did a small thing——

Liked [Judd]'s post, and followed his Lingxi account.

Judd's Consonance account has only 64 followers in total. At this time, one more person suddenly appeared, so they noticed it immediately.

He temporarily put down his work, clicked on the list of fans, and found that the first one was a new fan—【Lin You】.

"???"

"What the hell? High imitation? Or fake?"

Judd clicked on this account in disbelief, and was shocked to see that the page really jumped to a familiar interface - the homepage of Lin You's Lingxi account!

"What happened?" Judd's first reaction was not joy, but anxiety.

"Was Lin You wrong? Or did I make a mistake?"

——The post on the vortex forum that pretends to be an insider has long been thrown into the corner of his memory.

It wasn't until 10 minutes later that Yunmeng's latest announcement woke his memory:
[Announcement on the launch of the "My World" module sharing platform, and the first official game module "Terraria" Survival Challenge! ]
At 14:00 this afternoon, the "Minecraft" module sharing platform is officially launched!
All mod makers can publish mods on this platform and share their creativity and ideas.

Producers can choose two ways of "paid release" or "free release". For specific requirements and rules, please check the "Mod Production and Release Rules" after the module sharing platform is launched.

Please abide by the relevant rules and maintain order in the community.

******
Tomorrow at 14:00 pm.

"Minecraft" first official module "Terraria" will be officially released.

At the same time, ["Terraria" Survival Challenge] will also start, and participants will have the opportunity to get rich rewards, including Yunmeng points, cash rewards, game peripherals, special achievements, and the ultimate mysterious prize!
The longer you live, the richer the rewards!

There are also special progress rewards, waiting for your discovery!
All players are welcome to actively participate!

Note: "Terraria" is rated as [adult level]. Players under the age of 18 cannot load this mod. We regret the inconvenience caused to you.

Another note: "Terraria" contains horror content, players suffering from heart disease, high blood pressure, claustrophobia and other symptoms, please do not enter the game.

Re-note: Players who are over 18 years old, in good health, but less courageous, please play the game accompanied by parents or friends, and do not play the game alone. (This article is specially reminded from Lin You, the founder of Yunmeng)——
Seeing this "platform + module" double announcement, players are naturally overjoyed.

"Great, there is a place to find mods! I wanted to find a mod to play a few days ago, just like downloading porn, and I had to go to the forum to search for [license plate], so troublesome!"

"That's right, with such a standard, there won't be any people who sell dog meat with sheep's tricks, right?"

"Don't mention it, I get angry when I say this! I saw a [Half Demon World] module that claimed to be 'Furui Control Rapture' yesterday, but I spent all my fucking money to get in, and it was full of human heads, pig bodies, human heads, cow bodies, A ghost with a human head and a sheep body! Who knows what kind of psychological shock I received at that time! My mother is right in front of the psychiatrist right now! 1 yuan per hour, shit!"

"I was also deceived by that [half-demon world], wow! It's too sanctimonious! It's just a centaur that barely touches the edge, it's the upper body of a human and the lower body of a horse. I have to say, this is still quite awkward... "

"??? You are not right!"

……

Of course, there are also uneasy players:

"Since the platform is going to be launched, will the review become very strict? Don't stop making dirty mods then."

"That's right, although I don't like a lot of heavy-mouthed, outrageous, and crazy mods, but it would be a pity if all of them disappeared!"

……

Many small teams that sell mods for a fee are even more panicked than these players.

The problem is obvious: after the platform goes online, if you release modules for a fee, you must share the money with the platform, which is almost a no-brainer.

After all, the materials, tools, servers, and even the players they use all belong to Yunmeng.

But before they sold so much, they commercialized it without Yunmeng's authorization. Strictly speaking, Yunmeng can be held accountable.

So now... want your money back?

The production team of [Harem Hunting War] is a very young team. There are currently 12 people in total, and the average age is less than 22 years old. They didn't have this awareness at all before.

Their ideas have not yet turned from the idea of ​​"selling gold and selling gold" in Metropolis and Night City, so they don't think there is anything wrong.

Now that they saw other producers discussing it, they realized the problem.

This group of people is brave enough to directly use the [Harem Hunting War] account to post a post and ask Lin You directly——

"@林游, @云梦游戏, Boss Lin, I was ignorant before, and I have already sold a lot of modules. Do I need a refund for this? Or submit a bill to you to see how much the authorization fee should be paid?"

After someone took the lead, many developers who released mods for a fee also posted @林游, asking how to deal with it.

Lin Youben was paying attention to the impact of the announcement, so he naturally noticed these questions quickly, and immediately sent a dynamic reply——

"For the previous charging module, you can evaluate whether you want to refund the money or not.

As long as it's not cheating money, the mods are being developed seriously, and the players voluntarily pay to play, then you can keep it with confidence.

This is a tribute to your creativity and a reward to you early creators.

However, if someone does not take the right path and cheats money by engaging in crooked ways, then... now is the ultimatum.

Before the platform goes online at 14:00 in the afternoon, if the refund is not completed, and a large number of players complain and report, once verified, it will be treated as fraud. "

Lin You's reply answered the questions of these mod makers, but did not draw a clear line.

That's where things get interesting.

Players and teams who are serious about developing modules are naturally very happy and continue to develop modules with peace of mind.

The most is to suspend the current sales of modules, and wait until the platform goes online in the afternoon before selling them, so as to give Lin You some face.

But for those who sell dog meat under false pretenses, it will be more uncomfortable to trap one liar after another.

The money I swallowed, and now I suddenly have to spit it out again, which is much more uncomfortable than never earning it!

But even if they were unwilling, most of the mod makers who cheated money still started to refund their money one by one.

They couldn't retreat, Lin You's threat was too scary.

With Lin You's style, everyone has no doubt that he will really ask the legal department to collect evidence and bring the liar to court.

But that's not the scariest part.

The most frightening thing is: Lin You's hand holds the authority to prohibit logging into the virtual world.

This is the [ultimate threat] to all virtual world users.

Not only can’t play virtual reality games, can’t casually browse global network information, can’t meet distant friends in the virtual world…

And more critical: miss all possibilities about the virtual world.

That is tantamount to missing an entire era.

Just imagine, if a person is forced to miss the entire Internet age and cannot access the Internet at all, what would his life be like?
If this is acceptable, what if the person was a heavy Internet user before being rejected by the Internet?
People who can play "Minecraft" and get started with mod making tools so quickly and make mods are undoubtedly deep users of the virtual world.

How could they accept that one day when they put on the headband and turned it on, what they saw was not their own virtual real estate, but a notice of title ban, and they would never be able to log in to the virtual world again?
This is much scarier than a fine or a detention center!

Ma Lian, who is still in prison, can't wait to slap himself hard every day when he is out in the wind!
Even watching the inmates feel envious: at least these people will not be rejected by the virtual world after they are released from prison.

Of course, in addition to those who accept the money with peace of mind, and those who are unwilling to return the money, there are also some mod developers who are deeply entangled.

Their entanglement lies in: Is it considered crooked to rub the edge?

[Harem Hunting Battle], [Coin-operated Brothel Personal Exclusive Edition], [Amsterdam Red Light District Panoramic Reproduction], [Dead or Alive Colosseum], [Killing Journey]...

There are countless such modules that are not too "serious"!
That's right, it's not just those who engage in rough-and-tumble, there are also many bloody niche mods.

[Dead or Alive Colosseum] is a game where players and NPCs wear revealing "battle suits" and fight each other or various beasts.

Under the adjustment of the developer, every time the player and NPC are injured, there will be quite exaggerated bleeding performance, and the wound is also very real, which looks very scary.

——Because Yunmeng didn't provide this kind of wound material, those wounds were even hand-painted by the developers themselves through the custom function!

And these modules, whether they are popular or niche, the actual sales volume is quite impressive.

So here comes the question, do these modules meet Lin You's "serious development of modules"?

Or should it be classified as "creepy ways"?

These producers scratch their heads and guess wildly.

But no matter how much I guessed, it was useless. In the end, I could only go to Lin You's post to ask questions.

But this time, Lin You didn't reply immediately.

This made them scratch their heads even more!
Counting it down, only the creators who really generate electricity for love, and those small game studios who make mods for free, have remained calm from the beginning to the end, and are simply happy for the platform to go online.

*
So, what is Lin You doing now?
He is making an invitation letter with Xiaomeng, as always: he moves his mouth and Xiaomeng hands.

Although the original idea of ​​holding the event was just to give Xia Yi some color.

But after doing everything, wouldn't it be a pity not to bring in all the familiar anchors to join in the fun?

We are all peers, sharing blessings and sharing difficulties!
