Chapter 232 Draw a Blank
Even if The Matrix III received harsh criticism, there might be many players who would support it if its quality was no different from that of the previous games released by millions of game development companies.
However, times had changed. Su Ping's appearance was leading the entire gaming industry forward by leaps and bounds.
Su Ping was changing the entire game industry. He was turning what seemed impossible into reality. He was letting more people know that games could be done well and could have a completely realistic world.
People could experience a different life there and acquire superpowers thanks to games.
As a result, many loyal players opposed and boycotted people who criticized The Matrix III, even though it had received a lot of criticism.
Of course, most of the players were patiently explaining the game to those who cursed it. Only when they couldn't reason with the other party would they be anxious and attack each other.
[The Matrix III is different from the games you've played before. Or rather, if you see Su Ping's name on the list of game producers, don't hesitate to give it a try. It must be a high-quality game!]
[That's right! Everyone, if it's any other game, you can scold them if you want to. However, as long as it's a game developed by Su Ping, there's no reason for you all to scold them brainlessly.]
[Su Ping's games are top-quality games. I hope some of you can stop criticizing it because of your previous judgment. Su Ping's games have always been fun!]
[I hope you can review the game after you understand the situation. I'd like to make it clear that The Matrix III didn't buy any fake reviewers. It is all promoted by us because the game is really good!]
In addition to a large number of passers-by who were attracted to attack The Matrix III, there were naturally countless fans explaining in the comments.
After all, for those who still supported and loved games, The Matrix III, as well as Su Ping's every game, represented the future of the entire gaming industry.
Everyone was worried. They thought, "If Su Ping collapses, will the gaming industry return to the old days when everyone was trying to be the worst game development company and disappoint the players?"
No matter what, no one wanted that to happen. Everyone wanted Su Ping to create more games and hoped he would have the motivation to keep on creating entertaining games.
As both sides joined the debate, the people who supported Su Ping and those who were against the game gradually formed two forces in public opinion.
Both sides criticized each other and presented all kinds of arguments and evidence to prove their opinions.
It was challenging for many people to accept new games because they had previously been repulsed by dull games.
Even though the real gamers had repeatedly claimed that The Matrix III was an excellent game, it was difficult to convince them to try it out.
In such a situation, neither party succeeded in persuading the other, which led to ongoing disputes. Of course, it also led to the increasing popularity of The Matrix III.
According to statistics released by some authoritative websites, the number of discussion posts about The Matrix III became one of the top 50 most popular topics in history three days after its release!
It was a terrifying number because the games that could become one of the top 50 most popular topics were basically the most popular in history.
The reason why these games could accumulate so much data was that many of them accumulated it over a long time before finally achieving such results.
However, The Matrix III was different. It had only been released for three days, but the number of posts already surpassed many games that had been released for many years.
Would the number of posts about The Matrix III be among the top ten in another 10 days or a half-month?
With the popularity of The Matrix III, Angelica also greatly benefited from the wave of traffic. Her live stream room was getting close to 20 million followers at this point!
It is important to note that the new followers were all actual people, not fake ones who may have long since stopped watching live streams.
Angelica was both happy and in pain during her live stream these days. She was in pain because there were too many new people in the live stream room, which made her, a well-known live streamer, constantly worry when she was doing so.
For example, Angelica had to consider the feelings of other new viewers, or she had to explain the memes in the live stream to them over and over again.
As for Angelica's happiness, of course, it was because she was happy to see the surge in her popularity and the increase in the number of concurrent viewers in her live stream room.
At the same time, Angelica had many questions about Su Ping.
Four days before the release of the game, Su Ping contacted Angelica during the live stream to tell her when The Matrix III would be released and to discuss some topics about the new game.
However, Su Ping seems to have vanished into thin air now. Not even Angelica could find him, let alone ordinary players!
Angelica was confused and thought, "What is Su Ping doing?"
Angelica thought, "The Matrix III had been released for days. Why is there no news from Su Ping?"
Angelica had a feeling that Su Ping was doing something very important. But what was it? Why was Su Ping so engrossed in the game that he had completely neglected many things in his real life?
A week after The Matrix III was officially released, Angelica couldn't hold it in any longer. It had been almost 10 days since she last contacted Su Ping.
"No, I can't continue to do nothing. What is he doing now? How could there be no news at all?"
After the day's live stream ended, Angelica turned on her phone and opened her social media app. She looked at the chat history that had stopped 10 days ago and finally made up her mind.
"I'm going to find him and see what he's doing!"
"In addition, a lot of his fans are worried about his situation. I can't let the situation continue in such a way!"
Angelica made up her mind. Then, without any hesitation, she posted a leave notice on her live stream room.
"There might be something that causes me to be unable to live stream tomorrow. I hope everyone can understand me, but there's a high chance that I'll only stop live streaming for a day tomorrow. I'll be back the day after tomorrow!"
