When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay.

Chapter 471 An explanation I am more willing to believe
"What nonsense! What absolute nonsense!"

Lilith was so angry that she was fuming. She simply couldn't understand why a conclusion that seemed so ridiculous was accepted by so many viewers?
But obviously, as the number of views of this video continued to rise, public opinion on the Internet began to reverse.

As things have developed to this point, it has become a dispute similar to that between the "BUG faction" and the "mechanism faction".

Originally, the bug faction in the game "Blood of Lies" had an absolute upper hand, and most people believed that the two operations of stuck dynamic difficulty and stuck GP judgment frame were absolute bugs.

Because they do look like classic bugs, the former is a typical floating-point error in the program, while the latter is an ancestral skill of "Endless Fantasy Tales".

But with the emergence of anchor fraud incidents, the mechanism faction has surfaced again.

And it started to gain more and more support.

The reason is simple. These two bugs coordinate so well with the game plot and the real-life anchor fraud incidents that they are seamless.

What's more, there are also die-hard fans of Against the Heaven and the host fanatics adding fuel to the fire.

For these two groups of die-hard fans, "scam" is absolutely an unacceptable excuse.

Against the Heaven’s Glory games have always had a very good reputation and have accumulated a lot of fans.

Similarly, the event organized by Against the Heavens this time invited some big anchors with good reputation and image, and they also have a group of die-hard fans.

In the face of irrefutable evidence, they could only accept the explanation of "fraud" and choose to remain silent.

But now that they have found an explanation that they are more willing to believe, shouldn’t they try hard to hold on to it?

This video by Lao Wang next door is just a starting point. He proposed the main theoretical framework, and the task of these fans is to continue to find more details that can prove the theory within this framework and spread this theory widely.

For a time, the comment sections of major forums regarding the "Nitiantang anchor fraud incident" were flooded with comments saying "the situation has been reversed."

The volume of these people's voices is terrifying.

You know, Blood of Lies is a fragmented plot. Strictly speaking, this kind of plot is not qualified to be discussed as "good" or "bad". Because this is not a complete plot at all, how can it be evaluated?

But the most opportunistic thing about fragmented plots is that players will fill in the gaps in their imaginations based on their own intentions, and the plots they come up with must be the ones they think are the best.

Just like when people look in the mirror, they will think they are better looking than in the photo. This is because the human brain will automatically ignore the bad parts and imagine a better appearance.

With so many interpretations, every player can find the analysis that meets his or her expectations.

As a result, the crowd who had originally remained neutral were also led astray.

Interestingly, many literary and artistic works have a special critical value.

When a literary work scores less than 60 points, its original merits will be ignored and become worthless;
But when a literary work scores more than 90 points, its original shortcomings will be considered as advantages, and there will even be many outrageous over-interpretations, repeated explanations, and enduring popularity.

"Blood of Lies" is just such a special work. It just breaks this threshold among the core player group, so the original shortcomings will be covered up by more complex analysis.

……

Seeing the changes in online public opinion, Li Wenhao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It was so extreme, I almost lost my way!

Although there are still many people criticizing it now, it has been generally saved.

It can't be said to be completely whitewashed, but at least it won't be ruined.

For these anchors, maintaining their base is the most important thing. When such a serious public opinion incident occurs, the important thing to maintain their base is not to give the most perfect and reasonable explanation, but to give an explanation that the base is willing to believe as quickly as possible.

Although this explanation is not particularly reasonable, as long as the basic base is willing to believe it, the goal will be achieved.

This video can be said to be the result of collective efforts.

Li Wenhao proposed the initial idea, Chen Tingquan perfected the plot part of the game, and Gan Di analyzed the two hidden mechanisms. Finally, everyone found Lao Wang next door, who recorded and released the video.

After all, Lao Wang next door did not participate in this event. On the surface, he seems to be a third party with unrelated interests. It is less likely to arouse resistance from netizens if he posts the message.

As for other anchors and UP hosts who participated in the event, they cooperated with this statement to a certain extent - that is, they tacitly agreed to it.

These anchors reached a consensus at the beginning: although the current statement can confuse the audience very well, if it is proposed by the anchors themselves or responded to enthusiastically, it will easily arouse the rebellious psychology of netizens and create an impression of "whitewashing".

Therefore, the best approach for anchors is to just ignore it and accept it.

Although this move is shameless, it is also effective.

Moreover, many anchors do agree with the content of the video, and believe that this so-called "fraud activity" was originally a part of AgainstTianTian's promotion of the game "Blood of Lies".

if not?
We can't really admit that we are fraudsters, can we?

No matter who makes a mistake, they will subconsciously excuse themselves or seek justification for their behavior.

If what is said in the video is true, then although this event caused harm to a portion of players, causing them to mistakenly believe that the game was easy and thus fall into the trap, it also provided players with topics of conversation and fun outside of the game. So there's nothing wrong with offsetting the merits and demerits, right?

If you don't follow what's said in the video, then... that's pure malice, and the anchors themselves can't quite accept this statement. In such a confusing situation, the discussion on this incident has changed from a factual debate to a positional debate.

The employees of Nitiantang believe that the truth of the matter should be as the video interpretation shows;

The anchors also think so;
The core players, die-hard fans and fans of the streamer of Against the Heaven also think so;
Even many of the original mechanism-oriented and fence-sitter players think so.

Who thinks otherwise?

The more serious players, the black fans of NiTianTian and the anchors, and Ms. Li herself.

But unfortunately, the latter are a minority, their voices are small and they are in a disadvantaged position. Therefore, it is difficult for their voices to be amplified through the Internet and they will be drowned out quickly.

……

“I don’t understand, I don’t understand at all!

"What the hell is going on!"

In the Purgatory Haunted House, Lilith was like a defeated rooster, with her two ponytails drooping down.

Judging from the data, although the "Against the Heavens Anchor Fraud Incident" did cause a public opinion storm on the Internet, it did not have much impact on the reputation and sales of "Blood of Lies", and it even improved it.

As for collecting negative emotions?

There is no need to even talk about it.

Instead, it generated more positive emotions!
The players were originally very angry about the unreasonable mechanism, but after the explanation in this video spread, they suddenly found that these unreasonable mechanisms actually had relatively reasonable explanations.

Unreasonable dynamic difficulty? This is supposed to match the background of the game!

Two bugs? Those are not bugs at all, but hidden mechanisms that are officially encouraged. Just use them freely without any psychological burden.

As a result, players' gaming experience improved, internal friction disappeared, and the negative emotions that Lilith wanted to collect naturally disappeared.

Judging from the direct causes, Qin Fengliang must take the blame.

If she hadn't suggested playing this trump card and selling out all the anchors, she wouldn't have shot herself in the foot.

But can Qin Fengliang be blamed for this?
Even if Lilith wanted to find someone to take the blame, it would be difficult for her to put the blame on Qin Fengliang.

Who could have imagined such a development!
The key point is that if this explanation in the video is to be valid, it is the result of the combined effect of multiple accidental factors, such as the plot design of "Blood of Lies" and the occasional bug.

If one or two of these items were missing, the statement in this video would not be widely accepted, and Qin Fengliang's plan to collect negative emotions would be successful.

But they all happened to succeed.

At this moment, Lilith felt that "my plan failed because it was fate", so much so that she lost the idea of ​​blaming Qin Fengliang, but she just felt inexplicably sympathetic towards Qin Fengliang.

"Ms. Li, I..." Qin Fengliang himself felt a little embarrassed.

However, Lilith waved her hand generously and said dejectedly, "Stop talking, I know it's not your fault.

"We have tried our best since the first time you proposed the plan, but...it seems that luck is not on our side."

Qin Fengliang couldn't help but be shocked: "Boss Li, although we failed again this time, you must not give up! Up to now, there are still many types of games that Against Heaven has not produced. There is still a lot of room for development in the vast world!

"What's more, even though we have lost some negative emotions now, the negative emotions we gained before are still there. We can still make a comeback!"

Hearing this, Lilith couldn't help but feel much better.

Sure enough, there are still people who support me unreservedly!
Although Qin Fengliang did not provide much help to Lilith's plan, as a think tank, her initial idea for "Blood of Lies" was good.

It can only be said that it failed at the last hurdle.

Maybe if she were given another chance, things would be different?
Of course, Lilith also knew that relying on Qin Fengliang alone was definitely not enough. The reason for the mistakes this time was ultimately because of: not enough collective efforts!
After all, a person's power is limited.

Perhaps bringing together all the trustworthy people to work together to implement an idea would produce good results?

But before that, you still have to decide what the idea of ​​the new game is. Or at least what the type of the new game is.

"So what type of new game do you think we should make?" Lilith asked.

Qin Fengliang thought for a moment and said, "Boss Li, do you have any ideas about strategy-based business simulation games?"

Hearing this, Lilith was a little discouraged: "This has already been done. Isn't it "The City of God Forsaken"? Damn fake-AI, I will never forgive it!"

Qin Fengliang felt a little regretful: "Oh? Have you already done it? That's a pity.

"Well, President Li, we won't use fake AI this time. We'll just play a two-player strategy management simulation game. What do you think, President Li?"
