Chapter 267 - The Tides Turn (1/2)
Seeing as the trolls’ ability to retaliate was basically gone, Chen Mo planned to go to sleep.
Chen Mo released one last Weibo.
“You guys are too weak. We’ll leave it here for now. I hope you guys will hone your craft and work on your professionalism so you guys won’t lose so badly when you encounter someone like me next time.
“Alright, I’m in quite a good mood after this chat, so I’ll go over some questions seriously.
“When I announced that Thunderbolt Gaming Platform would be taking a lower cut, many thought that it was completely malicious and even brought out app wars from the past. All you’re saying is that I’m a dragon warrior, and would eventually grow scales and a tail to become the new evil dragon.
“I can tell you right here and now, I don’t have any plans to become the new evil dragon, nor am I interested in all the treasures you guys have gathered for so long. I just want to slay dragons, it is as simple as that.
“As to if I’ll be hated, forgotten or cast aside by the villagers after slaying the dragon, it doesn’t matter.
“I don’t care about these extremely rich distributions, but what is important to me is them without you.
“I’d like everyone here to be my witness: I promise that Thunderbolt Gaming Platform will never influence designers or their design or their marketing strategy, and we’ll never take more than thirty percent.
“The worry you guys have of Thunderbolt Gaming Platform beating other platforms with a lower price then becoming the new tyrant will never happen.
“Thunderbolt Gaming Platform will focus on promoting players more, better games. I’m here to make a platform, not to make money.
“To the distributors out there who are deathly afraid, you guys don’t need to be doubtful anymore. I’m not here to start a price war, nor do I want to monopolise the distribution channels. What I want to do is simple, I want you guys who are used to taking advantage of designers to have a taste of your own medicine.
“I’d like to announce that the days where distribution is king is now over!”

The twenty four hour flame war got the topic incredibly popular and even became the top trending search on Weibo, and Chen Mo’s final Weibo drew even more attention to the matter.
The distributors only had one thing in mind after seeing Chen Mo’s Weibo post.
Chen Mo’s crazy!
He’s not here to stir things up, he’s being serious!
Soon, the twenty-four hour flame war and the contents of the final Weibo was all over the internet. Everyone was discussing the matter, no matter the average gamer or industry professionals.
“Have you seen Weibo yesterday? Chen Mo finally showed himself and fought against the trolls for twenty-four hours, and he managed to push them back!”
“Really? You can push trolls back?”
“My goodness you missed it? Chen Mo is vicious. He’d get them completely speechless in one line, with many incredible quotes created in the process! You can still see them on Weibo, just go take a look.”
“Really? I want to see how Chen Mo attacks others to be able to push back trolls. Chen Mo’s incredible!”
“Hahaha, Chen Mo even expressed his disappointment at the professionalism and performance of the trolls and hopes that they learn better techniques in the future, that’s incredible!”
“Chen Mo really is incredible. He stayed silent for a few days, I really thought he was just hoping that he could silently wait it out. But he somehow attacks them back!”
“Flame War?”
“Incredible! The final Weibo is crazy, shutting up all of the doubters with all their thoughts of a price war and decreasing the price before increasing it. Chen Mo straight up told us that it wasn’t going to happen!”
