Chapter 1190: This Must Be A Hype! Fake Data!

August 22nd, Wednesday…

Yan Qi looked at the last bug on the platform and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

It was finally done!

God knew what he had been through during this period.

In fact, according to the original development process, ‘Blade of the Empire’ should have been released a week ago. In the end, because many unexpected bugs appeared one after another, the game was delayed for more than a week.

This was even under the premise that everyone seemed to be on steroids as they quickly found bugs and revised it.

It might have been delayed for a week but it was a good thing for Yan Qi.

He did not know how long it would have taken to find these bugs if not for the blessing of the geomancy. The game would have been released a week earlier but it would definitely be very busy after it was released. He had to continue changing the bugs. What’s more, it might affect the game’s reputation.

As for how many bugs there were left in the game, that was hard to say.

He could only say that bugs that were more likely to appear and easier to discover had been found. There might still be other bugs, but if they could not be found in the ‘treasure ground’ state, it would be even more unlikely for players to encounter them under normal circumstances.

Yan Qi packed the revised game and installed it on his cell phone before arriving at the Dawn Games platform again.

Whether the game could be released or not depended on how many bugs Director Tang ran into while playing the game.

“Don’t worry, Manager Tang. We’ve fixed all the bugs that we can find in the game. There won’t be a single bug this time!”

Yan Qi was very confident.

Tang Yishu did not say anything. She only nodded and took the cell phone.

Yan Qi watched from the side. The game was as he had expected. It was running smoothly. Accepting missions, entering obstacles, fighting monsters… Everything was fine.

Yan Qi finally relaxed seeing that half an hour was almost up.

However, just as he thought that everything was settled, the game’s image suddenly paused. It was reported wrongly!

It was exactly 29 minutes.

Yan Qi was shocked.

How could this be?

After fixing the bugs, the testing team had clearly run several times but could not find any new bugs!

There was more?

How unlucky did he have to be to meet one?

Tang Yishu handed the cell phone back. “Yes… You’ve met the requirements. You can arrange for the game to be released.”

Yan Qi took the cell phone and suddenly felt very disappointed.

Logically speaking, he should be very happy that the game could be released now that he had achieved a goal of less than three bugs in half an hour.

However, Manager Tang still managed to find a bug!

Yan Qi nodded. “Alright, Manager Tang. I’ll go back and fix this bug, and then arrange for it to be released!”

When he returned to his desk, Yan Qi immediately sent a screenshot of this bug to the testing team and the development team, asking them to modify it immediately.

However, it did not happen again even after trying for more than an hour!

If he had not seen it with his own eyes, Yan Qi would have suspected that this bug really existed.

What the hell was happening?

It was Wednesday. Shouldn’t the bug be at work?

Has the magical land lost its effect?

However, look at the testers of the other companies. They were all eagerly looking for bugs. Everything looked normal.

The only explanation was that this seemed to be a bug that was hidden very deeply and had a very low chance of recurring. It was very difficult to encounter it even in this magical place.

Yan Qi was very conflicted. He felt that his OCD was acting up again.

He knew that there was a bug in the game, but he could not find it. He did not know how to fix it either. It was like he had a small thorn in his hand. He could not find it, could not pick it out, and always felt slightly uncomfortable.

His head was hurting!

What was even more speechless was that there were interfaces in the backend of various games on Dawn Games platform. The number of bugs in the current version on the platform would be displayed in real-time on the games platform.

The bug had become 0 at first, but it had now become 1.

How was this the difference between 0 and 1? There was simply no difference!

Yan Qi struggled for a long time before finally giving up.

Forget it, it was just a bug. It would not be worth it to delay the game just for a bug that had a very low chance of reappearing and most players would not be able to encounter it.

He released it online!

Yan Qi notified the Development Team and communicated with the staff in charge of contacting the Dawn Games platform to let the game be officially released.

It was very simple to be online, but he definitely could not go online dry. He had to arrange the corresponding recommendation resources.

Wouldn’t it be lonely if the game was released but no gamers saw it?

At the moment, the platform had already gone through two rounds of large-scale publicity. The conversion rate was not high, but it had accumulated some players. What’s more, there were few games in the early stages of the platform. The competition was not that intense. It was very easy to get a better recommendation spot. It was enough for small companies.

The staff on both sides quickly did the preparatory work and set the online time to be four in the afternoon.

Yan Qi had nothing else to do other than to continue looking for the bug that was very difficult to replicate. Thus, he opened the webpage and checked the netizens’ discussions about the morning sun.

Then, he was very surprised to find that netizens seemed to have engaged in a very intense discussion about the display of the number of bugs in various games on Dawn games platform!

“I realized that this Dawn Games platform is obviously deliberately creating hype and putting on a show! The so-called showing the number of bugs in all the games is simply fake data made to deepen the players’ impression and publicize themselves!”

“How can we tell that it’s fake data?”

“It’s very simple. I’ve been paying attention to the changes in the number of bugs. The bugs in these companies basically did not move on Sunday. Even if there were changes, it was very slow to find bugs and modify them. However, once it’s Monday or Tuesday, the speed is simply like cheating, increasing rapidly!”

“Huh? Isn’t that normal? The company is on holiday this weekend.”

“That’s too layman’s. What do you mean by holiday during the weekend? First of all, games companies usually work overtime at a high intensity before the game is released. It’s normal for them to work overtime all night. On weekends? Dream on! Do you think all the companies in the industry are Tengda? Secondly, I’ll take those games with no change in the number of bugs as holidays, but what if there are slow changes? Why are they slow to find during weekends and fast to find on Mondays?”

“Now that you mention it, it is indeed very suspicious…”

“Yes, I also realized that the speed of looking for bugs and repairing bugs is not scientific at all! It feels like it’s obviously much faster than normal! Logically speaking, it should be harder and harder to find bugs in the later stages of the project test. However, the number of bugs on Dawn Games changed linearly. It has always been very fast! Therefore, I also suspect that this should be fake data prepared in advance.”

“F*ck, what’s the point of faking this? I can’t understand.”

“It’s very meaningful! First of all, it’s because most people feel that the platform doesn’t have to fake it on such a matter that fake acting would not be easily suspected and would not be exposed. Secondly, this marketing incident is nothing more than a gimmick. The games that are listed on their platforms are only up after bugs have been modified. Wouldn’t it attract many players to set up a persona of ‘very few bugs’ for their own platform?”

“F*ck, that’s very bad behavior! It might not be destructive but it’s extremely insulting! Isn’t that treating us players as monkeys?”

Yan Qi was stunned as he watched these people discuss.

They were arguing over this?

Yan Qi knew very well that the reason why bugs were found so quickly was because of the existence of geomancy.

However, the gamers did not know!

They only saw that the speed of the bugs was obviously not right, so they suspected that Zhaolu Games was faking the data.

Yan Qi wanted to cry out for justice on behalf of Dawn Games. These were all real data! It could not be more real!

However, on further thought, no one would believe him since he was a nobody. Instead, they would be treated as lackeys and fake reviewers of the games platform.

“This is so troublesome. Why do I feel like I’m stuck in bad luck on Dawn Games platform?”

“Nothing seemed to be going smoothly since getting on the site.”

“We spent a lot of money on publicity, but not much money landed in reality. Instead, I kept being misunderstood. Fixing bugs was originally a good thing, but it was also misunderstood as a publicity stunt.”

“Sigh, forget it. I can’t help much. I’ll have a private chat with Dawn Games and tell them about this news. I’ll let them deal with it themselves.”

Yan Qi did not know if Manager Tang knew about the public opinion on the internet, but it was always right to remind him.

Thus, he opened his chat group and sent a message to the staff who had created the group chat.

Soon, the other party replied. “Yes, thank you for the reminder. We have noticed it and are thinking of a solution.”

Yan Qi shook his head slightly.

It was too late to think of a solution now…

He looked at the discussion online. It had been arguing since Monday. At first, there were some gamers who were speaking to the game platform. However, it was already Wednesday today. Dawn Games had not appeared to explain. Thus, those who were convinced that the platform was faking the game had already gained the upper hand.

It would be too late to clarify such public opinion events once they formed a stereotype.

That was unless something big happened that could reverse public opinion at once. However, how could such things be encountered so easily?

Yan Qi wanted to say something more, but on further thought, he had already done everything he could to say this. If he said anything more, it would seem like he was being a busybody. He could only let Dawn Games hope for the best.

Yan Qi thought for a long time but did not say anything in the end. He prepared to close the chat software and continue with his work.

However, at that moment, he saw someone send a few messages.

“Sh*t, something big has happened!”

“The difference in our game ratings is very high. If this continues, we will be taken down on Friday!”

“What should we do?”

He sent several messages and a screenshot.

Yan Qi took a closer look. He knew the person who sent the message. He was the person-in-charge of a local games company in Jingzhou.

This game was relatively old. It had been operating on other platforms for more than half a year, so there were very few bugs. It was one of the four games that had been officially released on the first day of testing on the Dawn of Games.

However, this person-in-charge kept @ group leaders, wanting an explanation.
