Chapter 185： Woman hold up half the sky

When Yang Huan was depressed in Southampton, in the United States, far away on the other side of the Atlantic, in the headquarters office of the famous scoring website, there was a heated debate going on.

"I think this game should get full marks!" A fat female staff member said very passionately.

"Yes, even if there is no full score, at least 90 points or more." Another female staff member responded.

"If it were me to rate it, I think it would be 96 points. This is my favorite mobile game I have ever played."

"My word, ninety-four points."

There are not many people in the office, and there are only a few women in total, but their opinions are very unified, and they all give high marks.

This makes the other male colleagues in the office a bit dumbfounded. Is it reasonable to give such a high?

"Wait, wait!"

Jason Dietz, the person in charge of the website, stepped up to signal that the female compatriots should not get excited.

"You know, my world is only ninety-three points." Jason Dietz waited until everyone was quiet before he reminded.

Minecraft, this is a famous mobile game from Sweden, it has been very famous since the time of testing.

The most talked about is that this game opens up a brand-new gameplay, which is almost a revolutionary game that everyone knows.

But such a game only scored ninety-three points.

Is the WeChat match-3 game Candy Saga really better than Minecraft?

"Jason is right. Games like Minecraft only score ninety-three points, and Candy Saga is only eighty points at most."

"Eighty points? Oh my goodness, it's high, right? What's the innovation of this game? Match-3 mode is very common, right?"

"I also think that this game really does not have too revolutionary innovations to give too high scores."

"Relatively speaking, I think their other game, Zhilong Lost City is very interesting and should be given a high score."

Several female compatriots listened, but immediately refused to agree.

"Hey, do you even say that Candy Legend has no innovation?"

"Oh my God, where are your eyes? You can't see so many innovations in small details?"

"That is, it is also a match-3. How can others not achieve this effect? ​​Isn't innovation in small details called innovation?"

"I remember, according to what you said, what contribution did Watt have to the Industrial Revolution? He didn't invent the steam engine!"

"That is, small innovations are not innovations? So many small innovations accumulated, are they still called no innovations?"

The male compatriots immediately began to refute.

"We didn't say that this game was not innovative, we just said that there was no innovation that was too impressive, OK?"

"I think it must be admitted that this is a well-made game. The graphics almost take Apple's screen to the extreme. It is very good, and there are quite a few small innovations. The charging point is not tiresome, but it is aimed at These give high scores, I don’t think it makes sense."

"Marco is right. This is a game that makes money, not the revolutionary gameplay of Minecraft."

"It's like a Hollywood movie. Some are commercial blockbusters that are rushing to make money, while others want to hit Oscars. Obviously, the two cannot be confused."

The female compatriots have found a counterattack again.

"OK, Charles, what do you think of Christopher Nolan's Batman series?"

Charles was immediately speechless.

"It's incomparable. There must be films that have reached a certain level in both art and business, but I think this candy legend is obviously a commercial blockbuster rushing to make money, just like Transformers."

"On the contrary, I think Zhilong Lost City is very interesting and has some innovations, but for the time being, this game is not pleasing."

Marko's remarks were immediately recognized by the male compatriots.

Candy Legend exceeded 10 million downloads in less than three weeks, while Zhilong’s Lost City has been for several months, but it has only been released in limited areas such as New Zealand, Australia, Canada, etc., with only 500,000 downloads. .

"From our women's point of view, I think this game is very good, much better than Zhilong Lost City."

"Oh, that's your women's opinion, nothing more!" The male compatriots retorted.

"Hey, what do you mean? Do you look down on women?"

A female compatriot immediately pointed to him and asked, "I tell you, women can hold up half the sky!"

"I didn't mean it, I just..."

"Then what do you mean?

Jason Dietz looked at the two groups of people arguing between you and me, and he felt a headache.

He did not expect that a game would divide his originally united team into two incompatible factions.

However, if you see that as many as 73% of the players in Candy Legend are female players, you will know.

As Yang Huan said in the advertisement, this is a game specially designed for female players.

Before the British paparazzi also photographed, even Princess Kate, who just completed the wedding of the century, is playing this game.

It is conceivable how popular this game is among female players.

"Everyone, be quiet." Jason Dietz had to stop loudly.

If the noise continues, there will be no results at all.

Not only is there no result, but it may be a big fight.

Because in the end, it will definitely involve sexism between men and women.

"According to the evaluation of 30 media and websites that we cooperated with, they generally gave this game a score of around 80 points, which is considered an excellent smartphone game, but it is far from a high score."

When the boss spoke, the men and women in the office immediately turned off.

"On the contrary, the score of Zhilong Lost City is relatively high, reaching 85 points."

As soon as Jason Dietz's voice fell, the fat female employee immediately complained, "That's because the major evaluation media and websites evaluate a game from a man's perspective."

Jason Dietz chuckled, "Yes, that's right, so we can only accept this reality, Mary."

The woman named Mary had no choice but to nod her head.

Why do you call this a powerful world of men?

"But the evaluation of this game is up to you, Mary."

When Mary heard it, she immediately became happy and nodded her head, "OK, leave it to me!"

"Leave it to you, Marco!"

"OK, no problem!" Marco also nodded and agreed.

Charles noticed another problem.

"Boss, if these two games give excellent points, then their annual ranking of this game company will surpass Nintendo."

In addition to evaluating the game itself, the scoring website also has a ranking of game production companies.

Previously, WeChat game company relied on the two popular games of Cut the Rope and Temple Escape, and rushed to the third place on the annual list, but now before the end of the list, they have launched these two games, which are bound to exceed Nintendo.

"Isn't it?" Jason Dietz was a little surprised.

I immediately walked to a computer, opened the website at hand, flipped through the list of game developers, and then calculated in my heart the improvement after the addition of these two games, it will indeed surpass Nintendo.

The well-known game developer Blizzard only ranked fifth.

"Boss..."

Almost everyone was a little dumbfounded.

Nintendo, this is a giant in the game field, how many classic games have been made both popular and popular.

But in less than a year, was surpassed by a newly created game company?

But according to the annual score, it is true.

Jason Dietz is also very embarrassed, because he can guess that if he does this, Nintendo fans and Blizzard loyalists will be dissatisfied, and their saliva will flood their website.

However, he thought about it and decided.

"Follow it!" Jason Dietz sighed, "We are doing evaluation, and we will publish it truthfully. As for the players' reaction, they will understand."

After a pause, he thought about it again, "Candy Legend gives 80 points and Zhilong Lost City 84 points."

No one at the scene said any more, and went to do things silently.

…………

…………

Development community.

"God, the website is going against the sky!"

A user posted such a post on the website and took a screenshot of the website’s rating.

"The WeChat game company is really going to blow up the sky this time. The scores for cutting the rope and the temple escape are already very high. They all exceed 80 points, reaching the excellent level. Now Candy Legend and Zhilong Lost City have also exceeded 8. very."

Judging from the screenshots, the WeChat game company’s highest score is still cutting the rope, reaching 86 points.

"It's incredible. I have made four games, each of which has reached the excellent level. This makes the WeChat game company's total score surpass Nintendo, ranking first in the annual developer list!"

As soon as this post was published, countless divers bubbling to follow up immediately below.

"I have seen it too, this game company is too powerful."

"Haha, I have always felt that smartphone gaming is the future, and now that WeChat surpasses Nintendo, it is the best proof!"

"Big WeChat V587, too awesome!"

"I am also optimistic about the mobile platform. WeChat games surpass Nintendo, and WeChat will soon surpass Facebook and Twitter. Wait!"

"What about the people who said that the WeChat company Jiang Lang is exhausted? Why are they all gone?"

"When the gang of mouse brothers saw that something was wrong, they all went back to the ground."

"Wait, when there will be some unfavorable news, they will come out!"

"This is a grand event in the development world. Everyone should give it a publicity. I think there will be more game development companies on this list in the future!"

"I really like the games of the WeChat game company. I have all of their games, including flying planes. I play them whenever I have time!"

"Awesome! Congratulations to WeChat Game Company!"

"A game that even Princess Kate is playing, it won't work if you don't give high scores!"

"The game of this company is indeed very classic and it is worth learning. I heard that they already have a very complete set of big data for mobile users. I believe they will get better and better in the future!"

"At the very least, they are now the most profitable mobile game developers."

As soon as this news was fried in the development community, it spread immediately.

One pass for ten ~ www.novelhall.com ~ ten pass for one hundred, and soon spread throughout the Internet.

The rating of the website has always been valued by many people, but this time it has caused a lot of controversy.

Especially for a developer that has only produced four mobile games in less than a year since its establishment, it surpassed Nintendo and Blizzard's two golden signature brands, which made the die-hard fans of the two game manufacturers very dissatisfied.

Some people even attacked rating websites, believing that their reviews were biased.

Jason Dietz was under pressure and had to stand up for an interview. He denied that the website's reviews were not fair enough.

"We combined the scores of 30 independent evaluation agencies, media and websites, and finally gave the score. I don't think there is any problem here? As for the WeChat game company surpassing Nintendo and Blizzard, this is just an annual ranking!"

But even with this explanation, many netizens still cannot be satisfied.

Soon, some netizens unearthed a new piece of material. ()
