Chapter 556: Chapter 178: The Internet is buzzing! The company that teaches the whole world how to make games!_5

After several key points were raised, Ke Jin sent the response back.

He indicated that this submission had not passed but, after optimization, another attempt could be made – there was still one week left before the finals, so there was a chance.

However.

When this letter arrived at Hope Flute.

The entire game design department exploded!

A company that hasn’t even listed in Huaxia Nation, let alone reported ten billion in annual financial statements.

Rejected the game designed by our whole department at Hope Flute??

What are you, their number one player?

On what grounds?

And how dare you?

Especially when Kate first received the reply, seeing the chief designer of the top player in Pubg acting all high and mighty giving her advice, she was directly furious!

She felt an unprecedented humiliation!

Buddy, I’m the Employee of the Year at a top Europe and American game company, and also the director of an entire big department.

Just last year, I led the team to make a game that nearly sold for three billion.

You’re teaching me how to make games?

Your games are so good, then your sales must be really high, right?

Oh.

Turns out your protection raked in only ten billion in one month?

And that’s the combined sales of four games?

Interesting.

Kate felt she had never been humiliated like this in her life.

She was already very reluctant to compete with a bunch of junior designers on the same track, and if it wasn’t for a superior directive, she would not have been interested in competing at all.

But after deciding to compete, she was rejected, and what was more outrageous was that the chief designer of that much smaller company kept meddling in the game they struggled to design.

Any one of these things was enough to make her blood pressure soar!

Therefore, when reporting back to her superiors, Kate angrily claimed that top player in Pubg was deliberately targeting Hope Flute.

Such a high-quality game that combined the strengths of hundreds of designs has this outcome?

This competition is totally unfair! The top player in Pubg can’t afford to play at all! They never intended to pay out the prize money!

Additionally, Kate stated she would no longer take part in this game design competition.

Originally, Kate was thinking if her superiors made things difficult for her again, then she would just quit.

With her experience at Hope Flute, even switching to a smaller company, she might earn less, but at least she could still thrive.

But to Kate’s surprise.

Her superiors did not criticize her for dropping out of the competition, but instead told her to take it easy and even gave her a month’s holiday.

Soon, during her vacation, Kate learned about the follow-up actions of the company’s management and smiled with relief.

Hope Flute, through PR strategies, turned the top player in Pubg, this game company from Huaxia Nation, into a trending topic in Twitter’s gaming section.

And the core narrative being pushed was ’top player in Pubg can’t take a loss.’

After brewing for just a few days, now the entire Twitter community and even the gaming section of the international TikTok.

Plenty of gamers from Europe and America became aware of this petty game company from Huaxia Nation.

Simultaneously, Hope Flute made their "Escaping Highway" free to play on their own DFgame platform for gamers to enjoy.

This move really shook the gaming community in Europe and America!

Especially those Europe and American players who had never touched a Pugb-type game, were all amazed by the ’random element’ that energized "Escaping Highway".

"OMG! I can’t believe it! This game didn’t even make the preliminaries in Huaxia Nation?"

"Are you kidding me? Is this company called top player in Pubg here just to make me happy?"

"I’m curious, can top player in Pubg take a year to make a game to rival ’Escaping Highway’? ’Escaping Highway’ is like the best game I’ve played!"

"They never intended to give the prize money to foreign designers! They had already secretly decided on their own contestants! Fuck!"

Besides a group of players indignant without the full picture, there were also a few who had breached the Huaxia firewall and played Pubg games, leaving messages in major game forums.

"Hi bro, don’t be like that. Top player in Pubg had previous works too, I really like their game ’Super Mario: Odyssey’, it is designed brilliantly."

"Although this event was handled a bit underhandedly, haven’t you heard of ’Pubg’? The first to create the battle royale FPS genre, which many Europe and American manufacturers are now following to make similar games. They just don’t advertise that they drew inspiration from ’Pubg’, nor do they allow top player in Pubg’s works into Europe and America, that’s why you think this company is junk and never heard of them before."

"Believe me, top player in Pubg is not as bad as everyone says, you can try their games."

However, under the overall monopoly of Europe and American game companies.

Those who played games from the top player in Pubg turned into a minority.

So such explanations are undoubtedly weak and futile.

Moreover, after Hope Flute’s PR operation on this incident.

Labels like ’small eastern factory’ and ’can’t take a loss’ from top player in Pubg have taken root in people’s minds.

When it comes to handling public opinion, it’s clear the entire world’s netizens share one brain.

Rather than bypassing the firewall, then getting an offshore Huaxia bank card to purchase and thoroughly experience their hot games before commenting.

It’s much easier to cast doubts directly.

You just need a mouth for that!

"Bro, you said it was in the past. I don’t know if top player in Pubg made good games before, but let’s put the past aside and talk about now. Even the big boys like Blizzard and Art Electricity can churn out trash now and then. I just want to know, if they’re running a game design competition and can’t even accept ’Escaping Highway’, then whose work will make it?"
