Chapter 57: Chapter 57: The Blaze Orthodoxy in Cloud Dream?
Translator: 549690339
“Assassin’s league!”
“What did I just see?! Cloud Dream’s new game!”
“Is this Lincoln’s efficiency? Created a groundbreaking human-computer interaction technology in just one week, produced a perfect score game at the same time. Another half a month later, a top-level blockbuster game is already coming up?! All other industry peers better learn a thing or two from this!
Work harder!”
“Doesn’t this game seem better than Blaze 3?!”
“I don’t usually compare games like this, but this time it’s justified!”
“After all, the father of Blaze has joined Cloud Dream now. Surely, he would have a deep involvement in this game, and it’s his best genre, so there’s no doubt about the quality!”
“Damn, is the legitimate successor of Blaze in Cloud Dream?!”
“Now this is a real workhorse! It doesn’t need to be pushed, it just keeps going on its own! A five-star approval!”
As soon as this comment appeared, the commenters received a notification from Spiritual Rhinoceros — “You have been banned from commenting for 3 days because your comment was deleted and you were blacklisted by @Dream
Cloud Studio.”
That’s how thin -skinned Lincoln is.
He felt that this was pure slander. He had given his studio time off, and he was pretty much goofing off all day. How could this be considered a workhorse?
Slander, blatant slander!
“It’s obviously a gunfight game. Why does the trailer only show a loom?!” “What is this destiny stuff, and what about the rat? Explain, you bastard!”
“Enough with the riddles!”
However, a new trend quickly emerged —
“So, where can we play this awesome game? /doghead”
“Yeah! Where’s your game console? Can’t play much without it!”
“Seriously, only 200,000 units? Are you trying to fool us? Can anyone even play the game when it’s out?”
“@Lincoln, stop making grand promises here! Get off the internet and go work in the factory!”
“Didn’t they say there will be 600,000 units in the second batch? Hurry up and get them to us! I have my kidney ready since last week!”
In just a short time, over 10,000 comments appeared under the trailer.
“Lincoln, new game” once again became a hot topic, topping the hot searches list.
It couldn’t be helped, Lincoln had over 20 million followers on Spiritual Rhinoceros, making him much more popular than the studio itself.
It can even be said that his personal popularity is higher than any game company’s.
Doing his own promotions was like an all-out assault on the other game companies’ marketing departments!
And all without spending a single cent!
Lincoln, satisfied with the netizens’ attention shifting back from Blaze 3 to Cloud Dream, announced the completion of the 600,000 Mirage consoles restock using Cloud Dream Studio’s account.
The unmanned factory side saw huge profits and was working at full steam.
Specifically, the factory boss gave Cloud Dream an extra assembly line, further improving efficiency. The equipment was completed yesterday.
However, Lincoln didn’t release the consoles right away.
Partly to avoid clashing with the release of Blaze 3, partly to deal a heavy blow to NetDragon at this moment, when Blaze 3’s reputation was collapsing.
This not only stole the limelight but also lowered the sales of Blaze 3.
More importantly, by drawing away the attention of gamers and netizens, it was already too late for NetDragon to make amends.
After all, millions of players were disappointed with Blaze 3 and hoping for some action from NetDragon. At this time, all eyes were on them, and if they could come up with a satisfactory response, they might be able to win back the players.
Even if they offered a huge discount or even made the large-scale DLC free with the right choice of words, it might not be impossible to turn things around.
But now that Lincoln had diverted the players’ attention, things were different.
Players were all focused on Cloud Dream’s new consoles and games, too lazy to deal with NetDragon anymore.
So in the players’ minds, “Blaze 3” being a scam became a thing of the past.
The players’ mentality changed from “You son of a bitch, you scammed me! You have to fix this problem, or else you’ll see!” to “This time I was cheated, but next time don’t think you can trick me again.”
It only took one game to turn a fan to an enemy.
Not only was the prestigious “Blaze” series of games severely damaged, but people would also be more cautious before purchasing any future games released by NetDragon.
Directly affecting the sales of “Blaze 3” certainly hurt NetDragon, but the long-term impact on their reputation was the deepest and hardest to heal.
Unsurprisingly, after Cloud Dream Studio announced a restock of the Mirage consoles, a moment of silence fell once again.
Players rushed to the Cloud Dream Studio’s homepage to grab a console.
But the first player to jump over saw that the stock had already reached 200,000 units.
As their heart raced and their fingers trembled with excitement to secure the order and complete the payment, the stock had already sold out.
Witn a long Sign or rener, tney Degan to laugn to tne SKY.
What are we waiting for?!
Order screenshot, post it online, “This lord got one!”
Many people who got their hands on the console bragged about it, and within a week, owning a Cloud Dream console became social currency.
Whoever got Cloud Dream’s Mirage console became an instant celebrity in friends’ circles.
Everyone was eager to experience the virtual reality technology – this is consciousness immersion! Just a short while ago, it was still a fantasy technology!
Not to mention the phenomenal and highly-rated game “Traveler of the Wind, ” which even piqued the interest of many girls who previously had no interest in games.
So, if you’re not going to show off now, when will you?!
But compared to those who were smugly showing off, more people who didn’t get one started flocking to Cloud Dream Studio and Lincoln’s comment section to wail.
After a brief moment of silence, the comment section became bustling again.
“@Lincoln, you liar! I saw it out of stock yesterday, and it’s still out of stock now! You never restocked!”
“Yes! Stop pretending and hurry up and let your employees restock! Look, my money is ready!” This comment even came with a photo of a stack of cash in hand.
“Bro, stop lying to yourself… it’s really not worth it…”
“That’s so sad…”
“Make way! Let me wake him up!” This one even posted a screenshot of 250,000 units left.
“The one above is not convincing enough; look at this one!” This one is even more invincible, directly posting a screenshot of 600,000 units in stock. People who saw this were amazed and expressed their admiration in the thread.
“What an amazing historical record! You actually managed to capture the moment the stock was replenished! Even more amazing, you were able to take a screenshot calmly without worrying about being too slow to grab one!”
The original poster replied, “Joking, I organized a round-the-clock vigil in my dorm since yesterday, refreshing the Cloud Dream website every five minutes. We have Lincoln, Randall, and Cloud Dream Studio’s accounts on special watch, and as soon as they make a move, we refresh every 30 seconds. How can we not get one?!”
“Damn it! So that’s how it’s done! Is this what they call ‘the rewards for diligence’?! ”
“What the hell ‘rewards for diligence’? Are all you college students this idle?
Don’t you have classes all day?”
But of course, those who complained were obviously fewer than those who felt inspired, and soon a neat row of follow-up posts appeared.
“Great idea; I’ll have my employees watch it all day.”
“Great idea; I’ll hire someone to watch it all day.”
“Great idea; I’ll have my younger sister watch it all day.”
“Great idea; I’ll have my wife watch it all day.”
“Wake up! You don’t have a wife!”
