Chapter 185 Women Hold up Half the Sky

When Yang Huan was depressed in Southampton, there was a round of heated arguments going on in the headquarters office of a famous rating website in the United States on the far side of the Atlantic.

"I think this game should get full marks!" a chubby female staff member said excitedly.

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

"If I were to rate it, I would give it ninety-six points. This is one of my favorite mobile games I've ever played."

"My words, ninety-four points."

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

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

"Wait, wait first!"

Jason Dietz, the head of the website, stood up to tell the female compatriots not to get excited.

"You know, my world is only ninety-three points." Jason Dietz reminded him after everyone was quiet.

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

What is most talked about is that this game has opened up a new way of playing, which can almost be said to be a revolutionary game that everyone knows.

But such a game only got 93 points.

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

"Jason is right, a game like Minecraft is only 93 points, and Candy Crush Saga is at most 80 points."

"Eighty points? My God, is it high? What's new in this game? The match-3 mode is very common, isn't it?"

"I also think that there is really nothing too revolutionary in this game to give too high marks."

"Comparatively speaking, I think their other game, Puzzle & Dragons, is very interesting and should be given a high score."

Several female compatriots listened and immediately refused.

"Hey,

You said that Candy Crush Saga is not innovative? "

"My God, where have your eyes gone? You can't see the innovation in so many small details?"

"That's right, it's the same match-3. Why can't others achieve this effect? ​​Isn't innovation in small details not called innovation?"

"I remember, as you say, what did Watt contribute to the Industrial Revolution? He didn't invent the steam engine!"

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

The fellow men immediately began to object.

"We didn't say that the game wasn't innovative, just that it wasn't too eye-catching, OK?"

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

"Marko is right, this is a game about making money, not a revolutionary gameplay like Minecraft."

"It's like a Hollywood movie. Some are commercial blockbusters that are rushing to make money, while others are trying to hit the 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.

"There's no comparison. There must be films that have reached a certain level, both artistically and commercially, but I think this Candy Crush Saga is clearly a commercial blockbuster for money, just like Transformers."

"On the contrary, I think Puzzle and Dragons is very interesting and has some innovations, but for the time being, this game is not likable."

Marko's remarks were immediately recognized by the fellow males for a while.

Candy Crush Saga has exceeded 10 million downloads in less than three weeks, while Puzzle & Dragons has been around for several months, but it has only been released in limited regions such as New Zealand, Australia, Canada, etc., with only half a million downloads .

"But from our women's point of view, I think this game is very good, much better than Puzzle & Dragons."

"Oh, that's what you women think, that's all!" retorted the fellow men.

"Hey, what do you mean? Look down on women, don't you?"

Immediately, a female compatriot pointed at him and asked, "I tell you, women can hold up half the sky!"

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

"Then what do you mean?

Jason Dietz looked at the two groups of people arguing with each other, and he felt a headache.

He didn't expect that a game would actually divide his originally united team into two factions that were incompatible with each other.

However, if you see that Candy Crush Saga's 73 percent of players are female players, you will know.

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

The British paparazzi were photographed before, and even Princess Kate, who had just completed the wedding of the century, was playing this game.

It is conceivable how popular this game is in the minds of female players now.

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

Continue to quarrel like this, there will be no result at all.

Not only will there be no results, but there may be a big fight.

Because in the end, there must be sexism between men and women involved.

"According to the reviews of the 30 media and websites that we cooperate with, they generally give this game a score of around 80. It is an excellent smartphone game, but it is far from a high score."

As soon as the boss spoke, the men and women in the office immediately turned off the fire.

"On the contrary, Puzzle & Dragons has a relatively high score, reaching 85 points."

As soon as Jason Dietz finished speaking, the fat female employee immediately complained, "That's because the major evaluation media and websites all 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.

Who calls this a man's world of power?

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

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

"Puzzle and Dragons to you, Marco!"

"OK, no problem!" Marko nodded in agreement.

Charles noticed another problem.

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

In addition to evaluating the game itself, rating sites also have a ranking of game production companies.

Previously, WeChat game company relied on two popular games, Cut the Rope and Temple Run, and rushed to the third place in the annual list. Nintendo.

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

I immediately went to a computer, opened the website, flipped through the list of game developers, and then calculated in my mind the improvement after the addition of these two games, it would indeed surpass Nintendo.

The famous game developer Blizzard is only ranked fifth.

"Boss..."

At this moment, almost everyone was a little dumbfounded.

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

As a result, it will be surpassed by a new game company in less than a year?

But according to the annual rating, it is true.

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

However, after thinking about it, he decided.

"Do it!" Jason Dietz sighed, "We do the evaluation, and we will publish it truthfully. As for the players' reactions, they will understand."

After a pause, he thought again, "Candy Crush Saga gives 80 points, Puzzle & Dragons gives 84 points."

No one said anything more at the scene, they all went to work silently.

…………

development community.

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

A user made such a post on the website, taking a screenshot of the website's rating.

"WeChat Game Company is really going to blow up this time. The scores for Cut the Rope and Temple Escape are already very high, all of which are over 80, reaching the excellent level. Now Candy Crush Saga and Puzzle & Dragons have also surpassed each other. Eighty minutes."

Judging from the screenshots, the highest score of WeChat game company is still Cut the Rope, reaching 86 points.

"It's incredible. Four games have been made, and each of them has reached an excellent level. This makes WeChat Game Company's total score surpassed that of Nintendo, ranking first in the annual developer list!"

As soon as this post was posted, it immediately attracted countless scuba divers.

"I also saw it, this game company is too powerful."

"Haha, I always think that smartphone games are the future, and now that WeChat surpasses Nintendo, it's the best proof!"

"Big WeChat V 587, it's awesome!"

"I'm also optimistic about mobile platforms. WeChat games surpass Nintendo, and WeChat will soon surpass Facebook and Twitter. Just wait!"

"What about those people who said that the WeChat company's talents were exhausted? Why are they all gone?"

"As soon as the little mouse brothers saw that something was wrong, they all went back to the ground."

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

"This is a major event in the development world. Everyone should give it some publicity. I think more game development companies will definitely enter this list in the future!"

"I like the games of WeChat game company very much. I have all their games, including jerking off. I play whenever I have time!"

"Fantastic! Congratulations to WeChat Game Company!"

"A game that even Princess Kate is playing, you can't give a high score!"

"This company's games are indeed very classic and worth learning from. I heard that they already have a very complete set of big data on mobile users. I believe they will become better and better in the future!"

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

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

One pass ten, ten pass one hundred, and soon spread all over 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 made four mobile games in less than a year, it has surpassed the two major brands of Nintendo and Blizzard, which makes the die-hard fans of the two game manufacturers very dissatisfied.

Some even attacked rating sites, arguing that their reviews were biased.

Jason Dietz, under pressure to come forward for an interview, denies that the site's reviews were unfair.

"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 WeChat game company surpassing Nintendo and Blizzard, this is just an annual ranking!"

But even with this explanation, it still cannot satisfy many netizens.

Soon, some netizens discovered a new piece of news. ()
