“Where did this drama queen come from? Don’t talk smack if you haven’t played it. It’s so obvious that it’s two different games. Who’s your copying Plants vs Zombies*?*

“You should see an optometrist, even your perspective on the world is not normal. How is this plagiarism?”

“Hah, it’s plagiarism when the playstyle has a tiny bit in common? Then wouldn’t Plants vs Zombies be copying Emperor Dynasty Entertainment’s Fantasy Tower Defense*? They are both tower defense games, after all.”*

“What’s good about a rabid dog biting others? Did your owner make you a promise?”

“What level is Emperor Dynasty Entertainment on? What level are the developers of your Plants vs Zombies*? Emperor Dynasty Entertainment copying you? You’re just trying to leech of Emperor Dynasty’s popularity!”*

“Hehe, sure Plants vs Zombies is a good game, but you can’t be so illogical about this. Can nobody else make a game of a similar genre?”

==============

Soon, the arguments between the two of them got more and more intense. People were gathering others from their community to fight for their side, and it became a war between two sides.

The arguments got more and more intense as the two of them argued throughout the night. When dawn came along, Chen Mo was dragged into it.

Both sides were really into it. Many fans of Emperor Dynasty Entertainment who had lost their sense of logic were also insulting Chen Mo. His Weibo had plenty of comments now!

========

“A few hundred people looking for trouble in a few hours. I refuse to believe there wasn’t someone behind them. So who’s that scheming dog?”

“Brother, just focus on designing games, stop trying to make everything you do viral.”

“Stop trying to create all this drama about you. You’ve only made one game, so you better pay your seniors more respect, understood?”

“Brother, you should probably say something soon. You still have time to distance yourself from the others. If you keep your mouth shut, you don’t have anyone to blame for being in the crossfire.”

======

Chen Mo scowled. –What does this mean? Why can you call my players idiots?-

Before this, Chen Mo was quite open to this type of copying, as he had seen this many times in his previous life. Furthermore, Chen Mo wasn’t a special snowflake, and was already mentally prepared.

-Being targeted? That was nothing. But there are guys taking advantage of the situation and insulting my players! How can I continue holding back?

-Just because I’ve been nice, doesn’t mean I’m not going to do anything!-

Chen Mo sent out a Weibo: I didn’t want to pay attention to this, and you guys thought you could just walk all over me? The video game designers haven’t said anything, so what are you guys arguing about? @Qiu Bin, say something!

The discussions underneath the post exploded as soon as it was sent.

The players of Plants vs Zombies were all quite tired after fighting throughout the night, so most of them didn’t have a good night’s sleep. This Weibo was undoubtedly a stimulant for his fans.

If the players had been fighting hard for Plants vs Zombies, but the designer just wanted to settle things the peaceful way, how disappointing would that be? Luckily Chen Mo wasn’t a sissy. So what if it’s Emperor Dynasty Entertainment?

The fans of Emperor Dynasty Entertainment were also shocked; hot-headed people like him still existed?

They even forgot to retaliate immediately!

—

The Weibo was all over the place as soon as it was posted. Many video game industry professionals were starting to notice.

Within an hour, Chen Mo received DMs from other video game designers, one of whom was from Qiu Hengyang: Emperor Dynasty Entertainment is the biggest channel and the biggest developer. There’s no point trying to go head to head against them. Delete the Weibo and give it a rest, no need to be so stubborn.

It was very clear what Qiu Hengyang meant.
