Chapter 104: Chapter 102: What, could it be like this? (Added chapter! )

“Cloud Dream has released a statement!”

Gary, who was working overtime in the NetDragon PR Department, editors from eight media outlets, paid and unpaid anchors, big Vs, video uploaders, and countless players who were paying attention to the issue received the news at the first moment and opened Cloud Dream’s Spiritual Rhinoceros homepage.

‘We sincerely thank everyone for their love of “Traveler of the Wind” and are honored to receive the anticipation and affection of the players.

We take the players’ voices very seriously.

However, as many of our respected player friends know, games on different platforms require different development adaptations, which take a lot of effort. Cloud Dream Studio’s development of “Assassins’ Alliance” already has a tight workforce, and there has been no prior R&D plan for this.

Considering the feelings of the players, we will immediately include the adaptation of “Traveler of the Wind” for all platforms in our development plan.

As soon as the adaptation is completed, it will be released for sale immediately.

And we solemnly promise that we will not sell PC and console games at high prices like last-gen games, so please rest assured, dear player friends.”‘

Seeing this sincere announcement, the players were basically satisfied. Although they couldn’t play right away, they still had hope.

And Cloud Dream’s reasons were sufficient: games that want to be on different platforms definitely need specialized adaptation.

It is known that Cloud Dream has a shortage of manpower because it is targeted by big companies, so time must be given to Cloud Dream.

When they thought about it, many players went to the homepages of NetDragon, Flying Fox, and Wild Island to leave a few curses.

The leading “opinion leaders” were also satisfied: they got the money, and Cloud Dream gave in.

Money and fame double harvest, satisfied!

However, Gary, who was working overtime in the NetDragon PR Department, felt very uncomfortable: it seemed that the goal was achieved, but it was not achieved.

The plan was successful, but it was not completely successful.

It was neither up nor down, very uncomfortable.

Lincoln, you made a virtual reality device and game in less than a week, and then you made a full-platform trial version in just two days.

Now you’re saying that you don’t have enough manpower and need more time for R&D adaptation?

When will the adaptation be completed? Will it be done until the Mirage Console market is saturated and can’t be sold anymore?

He became more and more angry as he thought about it. 1–10w could he accept such a result with so much money spent?

“No, I can’t let him get away with this!” Gary decided to add more fuel to the fire and make Cloud Dream give out a release schedule!

However, his phone couldn’t be used anymore.

Since just now, the phone on his desk has been ringing non-stop – the eight media outlets and 12 self-media big Vs who were blocked by Cloud Dream are calling him frantically.

After connecting, they either angrily scolded or demanded more compensation.

So he threw his mobile phone aside and simply didn’t pick it up.

Now he can only contact the middleman through the Internet to communicate with the anchors and video uploaders again.

What he didn’t know was that things weren’t over yet, and Lincoln had just started swinging his axe.

Netizens soon discovered that Cloud Dream had issued another announcement.

This announcement, compared to the previous one, was destined to cause a bigger stir.

‘Based on the “Daxia Copyright Law,” Cloud Dream requires the following anchors and video uploaders not to live-stream games produced by Cloud Dream Studio or use related game materials to create video content in any public Internet environment. This includes “Traveler of the Wind,” “Assassins’ Alliance,” and all future games developed by Cloud Dream Studio.

Any violation will be considered an infringement, and Cloud Dream Studio will resort to legal means.”‘

At the end of the announcement are the anchors and video uploaders that Mavis has basically screened out, confirming that their intentions were not pure.

Lincoln has considered that there might indeed be some people who didn’t receive the money, were simply foul-mouthed, and liked to make a show for the sake of pulling in traffic.

However, upon thinking about it, Lincoln felt that there was no need to pity such people. If there really were any, just think of it as their bad luck.

As soon as this announcement came out, all player communities were immediately shocked.

After all, each anchor and video uploader represents a whole group of players.

Seeing the anchors and video uploaders they were following suddenly blacklisted by Cloud Dream and banned from live-streaming Cloud Dream’s games, these players were bound to be very surprised.

Especially since they had never seen, even thought of, a gaming company banning players from live-streaming their games!

They had seen platforms banning live-streaming of certain games but never game producers doing it!

The only thing on their minds was, “Can they really do that?”

Not only the players, but even the “blacklisted” anchors and video uploaders felt like they had been hit on the head, seeing stars.

They even subconsciously doubted, “Does a game studio have the right to ban others from live-streaming their games? We paid for the game! We paid for it, so why can’t we decide how we want to play?”

Okay, “Traveler of the Wind” is free with the Mirage Console, so maybe you have the right to ban us from streaming that. But what about the future games?

You’ll eventuallv have to sell “Assassins’ Alliance,” right?

When we buy it with our money, what gives you the right to keep us from live-streaming it?

Unfortunately, someone soon explained in the comment section, citing the specific provisions of the “Daxia Copyright Law” to make it clear that game producers do have the right to prohibit others from disseminating their game content without their permission.

It was then that the netizens accepted the reality: gaming companies really do have the right to ban people from live-streaming their games!

The reason no one had done it before was simply because whether it was an anchor live-streaming a game or a video uploader making game videos, it all helped further spread the game and in turn promote its sales.

Since it was beneficial to the manufacturers, they naturally wouldn’t ban it.

Moreover, banning anchors from live-streaming is a very strong stance that, to some extent, hurts the interests of the players, making it easy to provoke serious public opinion backlash.

In order to maintain a good reputation among players, game manufacturers would not easily do this.

But Lincoln did it anyway! And he did it high-profile, righteously!

Naturally, this move immediately caused a huge wave.

Even Lincoln’s phone rang.

Previously, Princess Camille Victoria had sent him a text message, fearing that he hadn’t noticed the Internet public opinion, reminding him of the players’ petition.

Randall, on the other hand, had a lot more confidence in Lincoln, believing that he could handle it well. Plus, based on Lincoln’s previous behavior, he didn’t seem like someone who could be easily dissuaded.

As a result, Randall didn’t bother him.

But now that this announcement was out, Randall couldn’t sit still anymore. He hurriedly called Lincoln, hoping he would calm down, or else it could easily lead to a serious confrontation with the players.

That would make the situation very difficult to handle!

Not only was Randall worried, but all the employees of Cloud Dream were worried too!

It was the employees’ urging that finally made Randall call Lincoln urgently..
