Chapter 294 The Pre-download Is Available
The next morning, when the sky had just brightened, the Internet was already in an uproar because of something.
Naturally, it was because Ready Player One was about to be officially released this afternoon.
It could be said that hundreds of millions of players around the world were paying attention to the matter.
Moreover, ever since everyone knew there was a game called "Ready Player One," everyone had been looking forward to the game's official release for more than a month so that everyone could officially play the game.
Of course, there was another very important reason why the players were so anxious.
Ever since Su Ping released The Matrix 3, which ended The Matrix series, Su Ping hadn't released any new games!
Up until today, nearly two months had passed!
It was the first time Su Ping hadn't updated any games for such a long time.
The players weren't used to it either. They were used to Su Ping releasing a new game every ten days to half a month.
It was why Su Ping's fans always thought they were the happiest players in the world.
No matter how many Su Ping games they played, the speed at which they played games would be slower than the speed at which Su Ping released new games.
No matter when, there would always be the latest and most fun games waiting for everyone to try.
However, things had changed this time. Su Ping didn't release new games in time like he did in the past. Many people didn't know what to do after playing the games Su Ping had released.
Most of these players had already been influenced by Su Ping's game.
At this time, if they were to play ordinary games with low quality and unsatisfactory operations, no one would be able to continue playing!
It was under such circumstances that many players were so anxious to see Su Ping release a new game.
As for Ready Player One, this kind of game had a long production time and was very well-made in the trailer, so people naturally had high expectations.
[Ready Player One is finally going to be officially released! Why isn't it released immediately after I wake up in the morning? Why did we have to wait until 2 p.m.?]
[This is the first time I've experienced the feeling of passing a day like a year. No, every minute and every second now feels as long as a year to me!]
[Aah! Can the time be faster and reach 2 p.m. now? I'd rather not have these few hours of life. I just want the game to be officially released as soon as possible!]
[Warning! Warning! An unknown virus has appeared all over the world. It will cause people to sit in front of their computers without moving from morning to night. It will suddenly disappear at 2 p.m. Please do not be nervous!]
[Haha! Go and remove the surveillance camera you installed in my house, immediately! How do you know that I'm sitting in front of the computer screen and waiting for time?]
Other than gaming forums, social media platforms, especially under Su Ping and Angelica's social accounts…
Countless players commented on such a thing.
The number of Su Ping's messages had reached a new peak.
Countless people were urging Su Ping to release the game a little earlier.
Of course, Su Ping didn't care about these private messages.
Moreover, the time of the game's official release couldn't be changed at the last minute because of his will.
Su Ping had already discussed it with the game development company. Everything would go according to the plan and there would be no deviation.
Finally, it was 10 a.m. There were only four hours left before the game's official release.
No matter which corner of the world, no matter which time zone…
Even for the other half of the hemisphere, even though it was midnight, there were still countless people who logged into Steam on time or Storm Gaming Company's official website.
At this moment, the download icon for Ready Player One has finally turned from gray to green!
Everyone had been waiting for this moment. Now that the time had finally arrived, tens of millions of players clicked their left mouse buttons at the same time.
The terrifying number of visitors almost instantly pushed the server to its peak.
Fortunately, the game's server was jointly built by major game development companies around the world, and they had also invited many technology experts to help maintain the server.
Only then did they prevent the server from crashing.
At the same time, Su Ping received news from Steam.
"Mr. Su, did you know that our server almost crashed just now? The sudden surge in traffic on the server is no less than a top-notch hacker's network attack!"
"It was so scary, but fortunately, we managed to pull through. We'll continue to carry out further maintenance on the server. The moment the game is officially released, our challenge will become even more terrifying!"
"But please rest assured, Mr. Su. The server will definitely not have any problems today!"
Su Ping replied with a smile.
"It's been hard on you guys today."
"It's not hard at all. It's an honor for everyone in the gaming industry to witness the miracle that Ready Player One is about to create!"
"Mr. Su, you are the one who brought this honor to us. Everyone is so happy. Hence, this bit of hard work is nothing!"
It could be seen that the person in charge of Steam also attached great importance to Ready Player One's official release today.
For people working in the gaming industry like them, Ready Player One wasn't just a game. It had even become their religion!
In the face of faith, all the effort and hard work, whether it was sweat or blood, was worth it!
Of course, Su Ping was glad about that.
Su Ping knew very well that the completion of Ready Player One was only the beginning of everything.
The only way to make this game run smoothly was to let everyone play it normally without it crashing.
It was the final sign of Ready Player One's success!
It would be meaningless if the game was created with no server that could host the players, no matter how perfect the game was.
Time slowly passed. Under the anticipation of countless people, it was finally 2 p.m.!
At this moment, many people's hearts even stopped beating.
