Chapter 216: Grand's Internal Crisis

Another two days passed, and Grand made no further response.

Netizens were utterly furious; the remarks made by those netizens who spoke for Grand have already been drowned out by the violent remarks.

And at this time, some activities launched an activity.

"Grand apologizes to all players!"

This activity instantly gained the support of all netizens, who together came to Grand's official website and then launched a fierce "impact."

"Apologize! Grand must apologize, or else get out of the gaming circle!"

"We will absolutely not tolerate Grand's behavior like this; what do you think we players are!"

"Grand must immediately apologize to us and guarantee not to do the same thing again."

The momentum of this activity was immensely huge; in just a little over a day, Grand's official website comment section was already flooded.

Moreover, netizens kept rushing over.

Such a thing has never happened before, and probably won't happen again in the future, right?

Because of a game, netizens actually became this agitated!

This is more serious than later discovering one's idol actually fell in love.

No!

This isn't even the most serious!

Moreover, some netizens in Mo Du organized people, raised banners, and came to the front of Grand's headquarters building.

They shouted the same slogan: "Grand, apologize quickly!"

Their number was actually not small, there were several dozen people.

Grand's security guards didn't dare to move.

And every person entering or leaving Grand, whether a Grand employee or someone coming to handle affairs, was startled.

……

At this moment, inside the office of Grand's Technical Department One.

"Director Chen, why don't… we go apologize?"

"Right, if this continues, will these players directly attack us?"

"I'm really scared now; I… don't even dare to make games anymore."

"Before, we thought our game was impressive, but now it seems… the gap between us and Lu Yu is truly huge."

"Every game Lu Yu makes is pursued by players, but we…"

The atmosphere in the Technical Department One office appeared extremely gloomy.

On one hand, they are afraid, afraid that netizens have lost rationality; on the other hand… this is actually the most important…

Even though Chen Qiao had previously given them a "preventive shot," they still find it hard to accept the current situation.

They feel they have practically committed a capital crime; otherwise, why would those players be so agitated?

Moreover… they have completely lost confidence in themselves, feeling they fundamentally lack the talent to make games.

Right, the composition of Technical Department One's staff: half are Ke Da university students, some are other students' recent graduates, the rest are technical personnel recruited from society, and Grand's original technical staff.

Relatively speaking, they are all quite young, and almost all are making a game for the first time.

So… the blow they've received is truly great.

Chen Qiao also doesn't know how to comfort these people; he's already said everything he should say.

So, for now, we can only let them not lose heart, let them cheer up.

But the effect of this is really mediocre.

Just at this moment, Lu Yu pushed the door open from outside and walked in.

Everyone's gaze immediately focused on Lu Yu.

Chen Qiao noticed that the atmosphere in the office had obviously changed; the people who just had no light in their eyes now have some hope.

Then Lu Yu spoke.

"This is your first game; although it received netizens' doubts, actually…"

"I think your game isn't that bad."

"You should know, I test-played it initially before allowing its release."

"So, if this is a failure, then it's also my failure."

What Lu Yu said is actually not fresh, and even overly simple.

At least compared to what Chen Qiao has said, it's like this.

But…

Chen Qiao noticed that the emotions of everyone in the office have stabilized somewhat.

Their faces showed some doubt, but these doubts were merely: "Maybe I'm really not that bad? It's just that netizens don't know how to appreciate."

At least these people's confidence has returned somewhat.

"Don't be influenced by the outside world."

"In the future, you will continue making games, and you will produce very good, very popular games."

"But of course, you will certainly also have times of failure."

"In our line of work, there is no hundred percent success."

"So, everyone, cheer up."

Lu Yu, speaking to the end, raised his voice somewhat.

"Yes!"

"Come on!"

"We'll get better and better!"

Everyone in the office started shouting loudly.

The previously gloomy atmosphere had disappeared.

Lu Yu lightly nodded, then greeted Chen Qiao, and left the office.

Chen Qiao, however, stood there silently.

Indeed, there really is a gap between people.

Chen Qiao had greeted the Technical Department One staff in advance and kept comforting and encouraging them, but the effect…

It really wasn't that big.

Lu Yu just came over and casually said a few words, without even mentioning any grand principles, yet these people from Technical Department One were instantly revived.

It must be said, Lu Yu now truly is an authority in the gaming world.

Although he hasn't reached godlike status, every word he says carries weight, and every action of his makes people feel there's deep meaning.

One could say that as long as Lu Yu is around, Grand will never fall.

Thinking of this, Chen Qiao couldn't help but sigh.

Lu Yu really is completely different from how he was just a few months ago!

He has grown into an absolute giant tree.

A crisis that Grand would have faced was thus resolved.

……

Netizens never got a response from Grand, and frankly… they still felt a bit tired.

Their influence also gradually declined over time.

This is actually normal; Grand after all hasn't done anything outrageous, so even if they're angry, they can only express their dissatisfaction.

But now the other side ignores them, so they just… after venting, gradually calm down.

And if a few more days pass, netizens will actually even forget this incident and start playing Grand's games again.

Right!

Here we must mention an interesting statistic.

Netizens shouted for Grand to apologize while shouting to download the game, but actually…

Grand's game downloads are still increasing!

Grand's game total user count has not only not decreased, but actually increased somewhat…
