Chapter 465: Chapter 161: The Design Philosophy of the Next-Generation Handheld Console! The Curtain Slowly Rises!_1

The impact of this interview was tremendous.

Just one day had passed.

The entire gaming industry exploded!

Even in the mainstream media communities within the country, Ke Jin’s interview content overshadowed all the celebrity gossip.

Weibo trending.

#Gaming Industry Earthquake! Top Player Publicly Calls Out Silver Brilliance, Demanding They Get Out of Huaxia Nation!#

UC Headlines.

"This Man Has Spoken! Silver Brilliance to be Forcibly Expelled from the Huaxia Market!"

Zhihu trending.

[How do you evaluate Top Player’s Chief Designer Ke Jin’s remarks in yesterday’s interview? Youthful arrogance or the king’s decree?]

Hupu’s rating.

Ke Jin 9.9 points: "If not for Mr. Ke, gaming would be an eternal night"

...

No matter how the media sensationalized their coverage.

But Ke Jin had truly let loose his bold and ambitious statement this time.

Unlike the previous minor scuffles between Tengjing, Netcom, and Top Player behind the scenes, this public statement was unquestionably a declaration of war!

So Silver Brilliance, you and all the mobile game manufacturers want to suppress Top Player?

Fine, then as a purebred Huaxia Kid, Top Player will expel you, CN·SE, from our market!

I’ll ensure you can’t mix in this industry anymore!

Such a statement could be said to make both Tengjing and Netcom’s bigwigs shudder.

After several rounds of tit-for-tat battles, these two giants knew all too well what Top Player, a gaming company established for just three years, meant to the current Huaxia players.

Every time the industry saw Ke Jin release a new genre of games, followed by consecutive big hits,

their first thoughts were always "How does he still have stuff?", "He should be running out of ideas by now", "Who can keep dishing out fun games like they cost nothing?"

And three years had passed, and Ke Jin had proven to his peers again and again with one new game after another.

There’s no end to it. I simply can’t run out!

Even Tengjing and Netcom were almost traumatized by Top Player.

Now every time they develop a new game, they subconsciously check if Top Player is about to release a game, trying their best to avoid a clash.

Because you never know what kind of jaw-dropping game this Ke Jin kid will pull out next.

Go head-to-head with him in the same period?

Crazy...

We still want to earn a bit more...

But on the other hand,

Though Tengjing and Netcom were beginning to take Top Player seriously and slowly acknowledging them,

it doesn’t mean they’d be unhappy about a conflict between Top Player and Silver Brilliance.

In fact, the executives from both companies nearly laughed themselves silly upon hearing that the two were about to clash, only stopping short of popping champagne in the boardroom.

Let others die so that we may live.

If Silver Brilliance loses, we don’t lose anything anyway.

If Top Player loses, we’ll just cry out in sorrow for them a bit.

The money to be made remains the same. And without the Top Player Buddha blocking the road and keeping game prices crazily low, we can earn even more!

Therefore, after the incident brewed, no matter how players and media commented,

Tengjing and Netcom maintained a silent stance, neither cutting off some business cooperation with Silver Brilliance nor stepping out to stomp on Top Player, an erstwhile giant among the big three.

They were just sitting back and watching the show.

As for Ke Jin,

he didn’t actually have any deep-seated hatred for Silver Brilliance or SE.

The reason he targeted them this time,

Firstly, the opposition had already begun to suppress him, even though he didn’t take it too seriously and was somewhat pleased by it.

After all, the fewer the channels, the fewer the tycoons.

And the fewer the tycoons, the sooner he could get his hands on the ultimate gift package.

By now, after many failed missions, Ke Jin’s heart had stabilized and he wasn’t as jittery as before.

But of course, it would be best if the ultimate gift package could be completed.

However, what he thought inside didn’t matter.

What mattered was that he couldn’t lose face outwardly!

Should good people be held at gunpoint?

The second point,

About the failure of "Cloud Top," Ke Jin did have a belly full of fire.

This time, it almost surely couldn’t fail, but somehow it ended up in a tough spot.

The key issue was that he couldn’t pinpoint the exact source behind all the evil.

He couldn’t determine who was secretly stirring the pot.

The player who had spent a million in one go was merely someone he had whimsically banned in a fit of anger, but he would have to unban them obediently after a few days nonetheless.

And to be honest, banning that account wasn’t particularly satisfying.

After going around in circles and taking a closer look,

Oh, you’re slamming into the gunpoint, SE! Ganging up against me?

Moreover, the reason "Cloud Top" could surge so quickly,

"Bursting Cuteness" really played an indelible role.

Its extremely poor quality made "Cloud Top" seem all the more magical, attracting countless players like moths to a flame.

It was pouring fuel on the fire.

If this were ancient times and I, Mr. Ke, were the emperor, I’d easily annihilate Silver Brilliance’s nine generations. Just see how I’d make your eggs shake out their yolks!

There’s also a third point,

And it’s the most important one.

Top Player is about to go international, taking its first step.

Just perfect to use SE, the well-known cash-grabbing titan in East Asia, as a sharpening stone to fire the first shot for making a name internationally!

These three points combined are like a natural whetstone for Ke Jin.
