"Mm, not bad, not bad."
After reading the netizens' comments, Wang Chuan was delighted.
He absolutely loved the netizens here. They spoke so nicely.
In his excellent mood, Wang Chuan decided to check out the comments supporting Tian Boxun.
After searching carefully, he found that there really were some.
After all, Tian Boxun was a somewhat famous producer, and he worked at the major company Penguin.
"Even if the game genres are the same and the names are similar, that doesn't mean it's plagiarism, does it? At most, it's inspiration!"
"Tian Boxun, keep it up!! So what if The Stanley Parable was the original? Once its achievements were established, wasn't it bound to be surpassed?"
After looking through them, Wang Chuan found that these comments were relatively mild and rational, without anything too extreme.
This level of buzz was just right. Some people were discussing it rationally, but it had not yet turned into a major public controversy.
Yet this level of discussion was precisely the most appealing.
After all, the spectators who loved gossip did not want to feast on overly extreme drama either~~~
"Penguin really is Penguin. This promotional plan, tsk tsk tsk~~~"
Suddenly, Wang Chuan shook his head with a sigh.
He had already seen through Penguin's strategy.
"Manager Wang, what's wrong??"
Unable to contain her curiosity, Zhao Jing leaned over and asked.
What was going on? He had looked at the link, then the forum, and then smiled and shook his head.
"Haha, look at Penguin's promotion and this buzz."
Seeing Zhao Jing come over, Wang Chuan explained it to her with great interest.
"Judging from Penguin's approach, they threw out this topic first, then rode the popularity of The Stanley Parable."
"They kept the topic within a reasonable scope, let it cool down, and then continued hyping up The Parable of Illidan."
The purpose of doing this was to win over the fans captivated by The Stanley Parable.
If they had promoted it too bluntly, or simply promoted The Parable of Illidan directly,
the core fans of The Stanley Parable would not have followed along.
But with Penguin pulling this move, they maximized their gains at the lowest possible cost.
All he could say was that Penguin was still Penguin. They really knew how to play the game!
Upon hearing Wang Chuan's explanation, Zhao Jing was utterly amazed and could not help clicking her tongue in admiration.
"Manager Wang, you're incredible."
"Hahaha, so-so, third best in the world~~"
Well, seeing the usually quiet Zhao Jing look at him with such admiration, Wang Chuan could not help feeling a little embarrassed.
"By the way, Manager Wang, are we just going to do nothing?"
Suddenly remembering something, Zhao Jing said indignantly.
"Of course not. Crashing someone else's party isn't something only he knows how to do!!"
In response to Zhao Jing's question, Wang Chuan gave a wicked smile.
If Penguin had merely been riding the buzz, Wang Chuan would not have said anything. After all, that was normal.
But riding his buzz while stepping on him at the same time was going too far.
Under Zhao Jing's puzzled gaze, Wang Chuan directly opened the social media platform, logged into his verified account, and posted a message.
"Good grief, making a game these days is really too difficult. Never mind the funding and design—the key is that disasters can come out of nowhere, and there's simply no guarding against them~~~"
After posting it, Wang Chuan even tagged every media outlet he knew.
"Oh, right, that Kindness of Strangers!"
Suddenly, Wang Chuan remembered the special item he had drawn before.
Kindness of Strangers: a group of onlooking players would suddenly feel pity after watching for a while, then stand on his side together and condemn Penguin.
Just thinking about it was amusing!
That was what Wang Chuan thought, and that was exactly what he did.
He opened the Item Section, found Kindness of Strangers, and decisively used it.
"Hmph hmph, you want to ride my buzz, put me down, and then walk away unscathed? How could there be such a good deal?"
Wang Chuan smiled, his heart filled with satisfaction.
Not only was the Penguin issue handled, but the promotion problem had also been solved.
If he blew up this Penguin interview, wouldn't that count as promotion?
Since Penguin wanted to stir things up, how could they leave without leaving something behind?
"Ah!! Manager Wang, posting this message means you're directly confronting Penguin~~~"
Zhao Jing, who had watched Wang Chuan's actions with her own eyes, suddenly cried out, drawing the other three over as well.
But Wang Chuan paid her no mind. Her face was full of worry.
"What happened?"
Huang Shanshan came over and asked curiously.
"Shanshan, you'll understand once you read this post."
Zhao Jing looked miserable and helpless.
She was starting to blame herself. If she had not shown that interview to Wang Chuan, this would not have happened.
"Haha, Manager Wang did great! Penguin was in the wrong to begin with. That was a good call-out."
Zhou Wei excitedly waved his hand, looking delighted.
"Oh, come on, you all... Penguin will hold a grudge against us for this!!"
Zhao Jing was suddenly speechless. Why did everyone look so happy?
Did they not know that Huangtu Game Company should not be going up against a major corporation right now?
"Haha, Zhao Jing, don't worry too much. It's only Tian Boxun, not Penguin's crown prince. He can't represent Penguin. Just watch what I do."
Wang Chuan was very pleased. Having employees like this meant they truly cared about the company.
"Zhao Jing, go prepare more promotional articles. I'll send you some information about the new game. When the time comes, casually leak it during the PR response."
"And Liu Qiang, Zhou Wei, things are different now from before. Go coordinate with the outsourcing team and make sure our platform is set up as quickly as possible."
"Now is the time to test ourselves. As long as we raise the buzz this time and spread information about the game, we won't have to worry about promotion anymore."
Wang Chuan looked completely confident, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
Yes, that was right. After seeing the interview earlier, he had thought of this method.
If there were no connections, then create connections.
If there was no buzz, then create buzz.
In any case, as long as he could promote the next game, his goal would be achieved.
"Manager Wang, then... then what should I do??"
Watching everyone else brimming with energy, Huang Shanshan waited for a long time without receiving an assignment and could not help panicking a little.
"Uh."
Hearing Huang Shanshan's timid voice beside him, Wang Chuan could not help falling into hesitation.
Hiss, it seemed he had accidentally forgotten Huang Shanshan.
What should he do? There were no tasks left!
"Ahem, how about this? There's a very important task that only you can handle."
Wang Chuan looked at Huang Shanshan with a serious expression.
As if he were about to hand her the Spark Lens.
"What task?"
Huang Shanshan looked expectant. What task could be so important?
"Ahem, give my shoulders a massage!"
