Ji You Makes Its Move!

July 13th marked the third day since the release of "Bloody Scientist".

In the past three days, Ji You has not released any data or posted any celebratory articles.

Everything seemed to have nothing to do with him anymore.

However... the lack of activity from the Ji You doesn't mean there aren't any players!

As time went on, in addition to the witty review video posted by the Er Huo three days ago, more and more people began to experience and comment on the game.

On various platforms, posts criticizing "Bloody Scientist" are increasing daily, and the topic is becoming increasingly popular.

Some people are cursing the poor optimization, others are angrily criticizing the bad graphics, and still others are complaining that the game is dry and boring.

One expert even posted in the Fourth Calamity Club, recording how many bugs he encountered during his first playthrough.

When we tallied it all up, wow, 26 bugs!

One of them was a serious bug that made it impossible for him to continue playing. He felt it wasn't worth the 398 yuan, so he angrily went online and started typing and ranting.

I thought the matter would just pass amidst the barrage of insults, but who knew...

That afternoon, the Ji You operations team posted a notice on Weibo.

Brief summary of the content:

Recently, our latest Ji You, "Bloody Scientist," was finally released as scheduled, generating a buzz online.

This should have been a happy occasion.

But then we discovered a lot of unfriendly voices amidst this enthusiasm.

They launched a barrage of scathing attacks on "Bloody Scientist" across various platforms, their aggressive stance and clear objective clearly demonstrated.

We don't know why they did this, but we can't rule out the possibility that it was organized.

These individuals' attacks on Bloody Scientist constitute unfair competition and are suspected of commercial defamation.

Therefore, in order to crack down on such defamatory remarks, we demand that public figures with a certain number of followers delete the relevant articles and video submissions, issue a public apology in a video, and appear on camera with their real names. Otherwise, we will not accept the apology and will pursue the matter seriously!

Please trust that Ji You will bring you more and better exciting games in the future, and we appreciate your continued support.

This Weibo from Ji You was widely shared by many manufacturers and influential figures within 30 minutes of its release.

Moreover, when forwarding the post, they didn't forget to include their own comments.

What do you mean, 'They're afraid to compete fairly and only resort to these petty, underhanded tactics'?

And 'Domestic Horror Games are no longer dominated by one company; from now on, Ji You will also shoulder the responsibility of reviving the Horror Games!'

One influential blogger even openly posted screenshots from the Er Huo's commentary video, adding the caption, "If you don't like it, please don't hurt it. Your taste can't satisfy everyone, and you can't represent all players. For example, I really like ' Bloody Scientist '."

This short blog post quickly spread throughout the gaming community after being shared and forwarded by so many people.

After they went to Weibo and looked at it carefully, they couldn't help but laugh.

But just as they were about to speak, they discovered that Ji You had locked the comment section again, and only friends who followed each other could post.

Those who can interact with Ji You are simply the partner companies.

This is why there are only 200+ comments under the Ji You Weibo post, and they are all positive and supportive.

Upon seeing this, the players immediately understood.

This is yet another self-righteous warning, just as ridiculous as the previous Weibo post claiming that Weiyou copied their horror + shooting innovation.

Since Weibo doesn't allow comments, let's go to other platforms.

As a result, discussions about the Ji You Weibo began on platforms such as the Fourth Catastrophe and Bihou.

"What do you think about this Er Huo being called out by a big V?"

"Why would Er Huo care about those big influencers who buy followers? You should know that the Er Huo's followers are all genuine!"

"And now with this comment restriction, it's like they're trying to hide something obvious, isn't it? Hehe."

"You can't say a game is bad just because it's poorly made, right?"

"Wow, they label others as defamatory just because they hear their opinions, and it's even organized, 66666."

"I think we should rephrase what Ji You saying: what they're doing isn't smearing, it's stating the facts."

"A game that costs 398 yuan is not allowed to have any negative comments. Capitalism still has to look at Ji You."

"It's riddled with bugs. It's marketed as a horror-fun game, but the optimization is terrible. It's neither scary nor fun. How is anyone supposed to play it?"

"They really are in cahoots, those manufacturers and influencers just take money from each other."

"I'll see what other jokes this Ji You can make."

This blog post by Ji You not only failed to serve as a warning, but also made him a pariah.

Despite the comment section being locked, it couldn't stop the players' loud discussions.

In particular, Weibo's reposting and commenting functions indirectly propelled it into the top ten of Weibo Trending.

Many people outside the industry felt incredibly saddened.

Why is there so much going on in your gaming world? A new topic pops up every few days. Is it so easy to get on the trending topics?

However, just as the players were laughing loudly, something unexpected happened.

The next day, which was the fourth day after the game's release.

All negative reviews about "Bloody Scientist" have completely disappeared.

Whether it's videos on Danmu Network or posts on Bihou, they all show as 'invalid'.

Even the Er Huo who had previously critiqued the game didn't survive; his videos have disappeared, and the shortcomings of "Bloody Scientist" can no longer be seen.

However, the Er Huo posted an update stating that he did not delete the video, but rather it was forcibly taken down for not complying with platform regulations, and it could only be republished after being modified.

He also received a lawyer's letter on the grounds of commercial defamation.

But the Er Huo didn't care and just told everyone that there was nothing to worry about.

At the same time, other people who had reviewed "Bloody Scientist" also expressed the same experience.

Even other platforms are the same.

For example, the post that originally Bihou the most likes and replies on Zhihu, "[A detailed list of the pros and cons of ' Bloody Scientist '], has also been dealt with.

Even more impressive is what happened in the Fourth Calamity Club.

The site administrator even posted a message explaining to all users that discussions about "a certain game" should be rational and that they should not blindly follow the crowd.

Conversely, a large number of netizens began to enthusiastically praise "Bloody Scientist".

It has reached the point where every Chinese person should buy it.

Once someone refutes them, they vanish without a trace. Some may even retaliate, but if a large number of people participate, they too will disappear as if Spiritual Seclusion.

This is absolutely outrageous!

They actually cleaned up all the negative news about "Bloody Scientist" across the entire internet. What a huge move!

Even Er Huo received lawyer's letters, it's terrifying!

However, players seem helpless in the face of this situation.

They're not stupid; in this situation, it's obvious even to a child who's behind the PR.

Ji You are just too expensive!

However, just as players were complaining about this in various groups...

The next day at 10 a. m., which was the fifth day after the release of "Bloody Scientist".

Ji You posted another announcement on Weibo.

But this time, it's about shirking responsibility.

summary:

Good morning, dear players.

We've recently received many greetings from friends who are particularly interested in the future optimization of Bloody Scientist.

First of all, thank you very much for your feedback and suggestions, which have been a great help to us.

However, we are truly sorry, we can only apologize to everyone regarding the issue of future game updates.

Bloody Scientist is a game developed by Leap Group, a studio under Ji You.

Due to the lack of experience of its main person in charge and improper work arrangements, many problems have arisen in the game, bringing an unpleasant experience to the majority of players.

The Leap Group has now been disbanded and reorganized, and the person in charge has officially resigned.

Please be patient and wait for further updates on the game.

We believe the reorganized team will bring you a different gaming experience.

Players expressed their sorrow upon seeing this.

What? The Leap Group disbanded? The person in charge resigned? There's no future for the game?

What is Leap Group?

It's the team that developed "The Jungle Terror" and "Bloody Scientist".

Oh, they deserved to be disbanded, you lousy chicken production team!

I have to say, Ji You really knows how to play this game.

In just over a hundred words, the problem was shifted to the Leap Group, and then the matter was cut off cleanly.

Faced with the latest Weibo from Ji You, players were momentarily at a loss for what to do.

Insulting Ji You?

I've already scolded them.

Criticizing the Leap Group?

They disbanded.

Now, who should take the blame for the game?

If online discussions are not allowed, where can those who bought the game vent their anger?

Are we just going to leave it at that?

like

That's all we can do.

However, just when the players felt that time was slowly passing by once again, an unexpected situation occurred.

In the Fourth Calamity Club, a user with the ID "Sheep Shadow" posted a thread about "Bloody Scientist".

And the title is even more captivating.

[I am Yang Ying, the lead designer of "Bloody Scientist," and I'm here to reveal how this game was forced to its death by higher-ups.]

I hope this transition ends soon, so I can really unleash my full potential!
