Chapter 1195 1295. The crime is deserved

In just one week, Han Tang banned more than 100,000 cheating accounts in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.

Every day, more than five-digit accounts were banned for a period of one month to three years. Such large-scale bans also caused waves of sensation in the gaming circle.

Countless online game companies looked at the list of banned accounts and exclaimed that Han Tang was crazy. You should know that more than half of these accounts are active accounts, and there are even some super accounts that have played games for thousands of hours.

But even so, these accounts that have used cheating software still did not escape this wave of bans.

After seven days, Han Tang finally stopped banning accounts, which also made many players feel relieved. The main reason is that recently, major game forums have also been very noisy because of Han Tang's large-scale banning of accounts. Many people who clearly used cheating devices jumped out and insisted that they were mistakenly banned.

Many players who did not know the truth saw many such posts, and even if they had never used cheating devices, they were afraid of being "mistakenly banned" in this way.

Of course, their worries are completely unnecessary. Although Han Tang has blocked more than 100,000 accounts this time, the false blocking rate is definitely less than 1%. I dare not say that there is no one, but at least more than 99% of them deserve it.

Originally, the Star Game Department and Han Tang Game have been prepared for the loss of popularity of the game due to this large-scale ban.

You have to know that these are 100,000 game accounts, many of which are active game players on a daily basis. That is, "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is a big business. If it is placed on those small online games, I am afraid that this wave of bans will directly shut down the game.

After all, there are not many online games with 100,000 active players on the market now.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds servers are opened all over the world, and there are more than 10 million players who have purchased the game. The number of people online at the same time on weekdays can exceed 1 million, which is why they dare to take such a heavy hand.

However, the expected loss of popularity did not happen. Instead, after the large-scale ban on cheating accounts, the number of online users increased instead of decreasing. The number of online users, which had begun to decline, has recently rebounded rapidly, and even exceeded two million in the past three consecutive days, becoming the online game with the most simultaneous online users in the world.

On the Internet, countless players expressed their approval of Han Tang's heavy blow this time.

In an online game, especially a competitive online game, cheating players are always a minority. After all, competitive games are about skills. Using cheating devices is actually satisfying one's vanity, but they can't experience the joy of winning with their own skills and efforts.

Anyone with a little self-esteem and enterprising spirit is unwilling to play such a game and use cheating devices.

And what these players hate most are those cheating players. They use external forces to destroy the relatively fair game environment and the game experience of ordinary players. Therefore, with Han Tang's large-scale ban on cheating accounts, these ordinary players also applauded and posted on the forum to mock those banned IDs, shouting that it was very gratifying.

Because Han Tang banned more than 100,000 cheating accounts at one time, even if there are a large number of players, it is definitely impossible to scold them all. Fortunately, many celebrity IDs appeared during the ban, so these people became the targets of ordinary players to vent.

The first to suffer were the anchors.

Who let these people make money by broadcasting games, and they were so black-hearted that they used cheats to play games? In addition, their targets were big enough and communication was convenient, so they naturally became the main target group to be scolded.

However, the most ruthless people who scolded these anchors were some of their fans and viewers before.

For this group of fans and viewers, they like anchors mostly because of their strong strength. Watching them kill all sides in the game makes the audience feel very satisfied. But when these so-called technical anchors were exposed to be powerful only by using cheats, the psychological gap of these fans and viewers can be imagined.

And not only were they cheated of their feelings, but many of them were also cheated of money, with a few yuan or tens of yuan, and even thousands or even millions.

Just like Lu Wukai, when there was no doubt that he used a cheating device, countless fans came to his live broadcast room and asked him to return the money they gave him. Among them, a viewer who ranked in the top three of his fan rankings asked him to refund the money, and the amount of reward given by this rich viewer exceeded one million yuan.

Coincidentally, other cheating anchors also suffered similar treatment as Lu Wukai. The fans who asked for refunds all felt that they were deceived. Some fans even started to form groups and prepared to sue these anchors who used cheating devices. They claimed that the behavior of these anchors was equivalent to fraud.

This view was agreed by many people. When you show the so-called skills during live broadcast, aren’t they all obtained by cheating devices? If this is not fraud, what is it?

At the same time, the Fanxing live broadcast platform also punished these cheating anchors by closing their live broadcast rooms.

In fact, some executives of the Fanxing live broadcast platform had been thinking about not banning these anchors. After all, although cheating in playing games is wrong, it is not a crime in essence. It is just a personal moral issue at most. The key point is that there are quite a lot of anchors involved this time, including a million-level anchor like Lu Wukai, and there are also five or six anchors at the hundred thousand level.

Even though these anchors were exposed and condemned for using cheating devices, they still have many crazy fans who stick with them. For example, before Lu Wu’s live broadcast room was blocked, even if Lu Wu did not broadcast live, there were still countless fans in his live broadcast room giving gifts, even more fiercely than when he was broadcasting live.

These people seem to have Stockholm syndrome. They are obviously victims, but they are desperate to protect the anchors who deceived them. No wonder the evaluation of these people on the Internet is very consistent, that is, they are mentally ill.

So it is profitable to keep the live broadcast rooms of these anchors.

Unfortunately, before they could finish thinking about these ideas, the headquarters directly issued an order to block them.

When the person in charge of the Fanxing live broadcast platform saw that the issuer of the order was Nie Wei, he executed it immediately without saying a word.

Of course, he still left a way out for these anchors, or wanted to squeeze out their last surplus value, so he announced to the public that these anchors were only suspended for rectification and strengthening moral education. As for how long this period would be, it would depend on when the storm of this matter could pass.

And many of them should not think about enjoying the previous treatment, such as Lu Wukai, who was originally a million-level anchor. Gift sharing, promotion and publicity were all the best S-level contracts of the company, but after such an incident, Lu Wukai was equivalent to breach of contract first, and naturally could not enjoy the good treatment before.

So the Fanxing live broadcast platform simply played a ruthless game and directly downgraded Lu Wukai's live broadcast contract from S level to C level. Other anchors were also downgraded by one or two levels, and their treatment was not as good as before.

And these people were also removed from the ranks of anchors that the original platform strongly promoted. Basically, when the contract expires, the Fanxing live broadcast platform is not going to renew the contract with them.

Who let their reputation be stinking? Which platform wants this kind of anchor? Fanxing can't keep it anyway, especially Lu Wukai, who is too big a target to be hated.

At the same time, since the ban began, the sales of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds have suddenly increased slightly.

The survey results are very interesting. Some of the users are the ones who were banned before, and there are also many new users. Many of these new users did not want to join the game because they thought there were too many cheats in the game before. However, this time Han Tang banned cheats on a large scale, which made them feel that the anti-cheating system in the game is very powerful. Han Tang is also determined to fight against cheats to the end, which restored their confidence in the game.

In addition, the recent game environment has indeed become much cleaner, and the number of online players and new players has naturally increased.

In terms of reputation, when the game was just released, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds had a reputation score of 9.8 in the Fanxing game platform, which is absolutely a masterpiece.

Unfortunately, with the proliferation of cheats, the reputation of the game has fallen again and again. Until the large-scale ban, the reputation of the game had fallen to 7.9.

The latest news in the comment area is all condemning cheating, condemning Han Tang's inaction, and disappointing the game.

Many players who gave bad reviews said that the game is a good game, but cheating is a big problem. Those cheaters disrupted the game experience and made the originally fun game less fun.

However, with the large-scale ban of cheating accounts by Han Tang, the reputation of the game began to rise.

In just half a month, it rose by 1.1 points and returned to the sequence of masterpieces. Although it is still far from the initial score of 9.8, after all, too many bad reviews were accumulated during the cheating period, and it is almost impossible to return to the peak score.

Fortunately, since the large-scale ban of cheating accounts, the comment area has basically been full of good reviews. Many players have regained their confidence in this game, and many people have begun to change their bad reviews to good reviews.

Han Tang did not suffer any losses from this ban, but made a small profit, especially the improvement of word of mouth is very critical.

This also surprised countless game companies.

Many people saw Han Tang banning more than 100,000 accounts at once, and thought that it would fall with its game. However, they did not expect that Han Tang would not fall, but ushered in a small boom, and its reputation and profits rose, which was really enviable.

But everyone can only be jealous, but can't imitate.

You have to know that there are more than 100,000 accounts. There are only a few online games in China that can ban so many accounts at once. The number of online users of many online games may not be more than one-tenth of this.

So everyone can only watch with envy, feel sour in their hearts, and have to applaud.

Because anti-cheating is a default correctness in the industry, and can only be applauded. If anyone dares to stand up and speak for cheaters, it is equivalent to being an enemy of the entire industry. Obviously, no one is so stupid as to pour cold water on Han Tang at this time.

Didn't you see that those game media have published articles one after another, with titles such as "Greatly Happy" and "Celebrating Together", and the words are like flying arrows, piercing through the group of cheaters, especially the group of anchors.

But many people don’t know that although everyone was praising Han Tang for this incident, Han Tang was also punished internally.

Because of the previous inaction, all the bonuses of Han Tang's senior executives this year were cancelled, and the year-end evaluation was directly given the worst F. One vice president and two supervisors were suspended for probation, and one deputy supervisor was directly dismissed because this deputy supervisor was also involved in the cheating gang. Although he did not directly participate, he also made a profit.

As for the programmer, he called the police directly and handed them over to the police for handling, including the team behind him. The Internet police followed the clues and arrested them all. Even the anchor who sold the cheating device to Lu Wukai was also arrested by the police and made the news.

This was the most senior moment in the life of this former retired player anchor, and he received more attention than the two years he played the game.

Unfortunately, he didn't want this kind of attention, especially when he knew that he might face more than three years in prison, he burst into tears at that time.

Originally, as a professional player, although his popularity was far less than that of star players like Lu Wukai, he also had a certain popularity base. If he just live-streamed honestly, it would be no problem to make 1.8 million a year.

But because he was blinded by money, he chose to sell cheating devices. As a result, the little money he earned from selling cheating devices was confiscated, and his live broadcast career was directly ruined.

Three years of imprisonment is enough to make all the audience forget him, not to mention that he is still burdened with black material, which cannot be washed away even if he wants to.

Nie Wei didn't care about this matter after the phone call that day. He believed that Liu Jing would handle it well. This was a tacit understanding between the two of them. If she couldn't even figure out this matter, Nie Wei would never have chosen her to take over his class.

Not long after Nie Wei finished the call, he received a call from Teacher He, telling everyone that the seasoning, rice and noodles had been bought, and Nie Wei and others hurriedly turned off the computer.

"You kids are too ignorant. Let the two of us old people go to work, but you go to the Internet." Huang Lei took Nie Wei and the other four to the car at the door of the Internet cafe and started nagging.

"Teacher Huang, Teacher He, you are still young." When Yang Xiaoli and Han Dongjun were trembling with fear, Shu Chang took the initiative to laugh and save the situation.

"Hahaha, I like to hear that." Teacher Huang laughed when he heard Shu Chang's words. He was joking, and this was his personality in the family. A strict parent is the "father" in the big family, and Teacher He, who was smiling and trying to smooth things over, is the "mother".

After everyone returned to Taoyuan House, they immediately started to prepare seafood hot pot. Including Teacher He and Teacher Huang, they couldn't help drooling when they thought of the boxes of fresh seafood.

Thank you for the generous reward from Fantasy Paradise.
