Chapter 331 There is a cheat! There is a cheat!
There are only three ways for a gamer to become powerful in the game.

Either you work hard, or you spend money, or you both.

However, in addition to these three "right ways", there is a wrong way, which is plug-in.

The price of becoming stronger by taking the right path is visible to the naked eye. Not every player is willing to spend a lot of time or money in the game just to get an illusory feeling of becoming stronger.

Therefore, as long as the game itself is not completely unpopular, there will definitely be a market demand for plug-ins.

Especially for games with PVP elements, cheating and anti-cheating are a topic that cannot be avoided at all.

The use of plug-ins is a zero-sum game. In addition to the plug-in user himself, other players and manufacturers will become victims.

Therefore, unless the operators are completely corrupt and have lost all their face, and regard changing the skin as more important than the gaming environment, it is impossible for them to watch the hooks completely destroy the gaming environment.

Therefore, for every long-term operating game, the battle of wits and courage with plug-in makers and cheaters is the main theme that can never be avoided.

However, in this world, there is a slight deviation from this law.

Because the two generations of long-term gaming overlords, Honor and Tencent, did not intend to give plug-ins too much room to survive.

Honor is easy to understand. No matter how many problems this game has in its design, at least in terms of technology, it is indeed a mountain that the industry has been unable to overcome so far.

If any plug-in developer is capable of developing a plug-in for Honor, all computer companies in the world will have to offer sky-high contracts to poach him.

Therefore, even though Honor's extremely liver-intensive game mode has an extremely broad breeding ground for plug-ins, there is no telling how many players who are almost going crazy from being tortured by all kinds of material and equipment brushing are eagerly waiting for a usable plug-in.

But so far, no plug-in developer has succeeded in doing so.

But when it comes to Tenghai, it is even more excessive.

When developing stand-alone games in the past, Tenghai has always been tolerant of modifiers. Pei Yunteng publicly stated in an interview that as long as it does not affect the experience of other players, you can use a modifier if you want.

There are even rumors that the Fengling Yueying Sect, the most influential modifier development team in China, has received sponsorship from Tenghai.

However, when it comes to its own e-sports games, Tencent Hai's attitude takes a 180-degree turn, focusing on strict defense.

Not only did they invest a huge amount of money to develop the most advanced and unsolvable anti-cheating system in the industry except for Honor, but they also generously put it into every one of their own competitive games.

If Honor is the one that made manufacturers spend so much effort but couldn't even develop a plug-in,

The problem with Tenghai games is that they can develop plug-ins that can modify in-game data, but as soon as players use them, they will be blocked immediately, and there is no room for resolution.

No matter how hard the manufacturers try, they cannot find a way to bypass the monitoring system.

What's even more outrageous is that Tencent Hai not only put up this firewall for its own games, but also used it equally for games made by its own studios.

A typical example is the interstellar rainstorm.

In the past, before StarCraft reached its rebirth, which is what players commonly call the StarCraft 1.0 era, there have always been plug-ins for StarCraft.

There was even an angry guy who got beaten up by a genuine professional player in a certain entertainment StarCraft game.

When the opponent is at the end of his rope, he will say "Don't think you have won", and then, on the premise of choosing the Protoss, he will use a large number of Terran Yamato ships to give the opponent a little shock.

However, since Baoyu joined Tenghai and StarCraft entered the 2.0 era,

With a big move from Teng Hai, his own subordinates were also included in the defense range of the anti-cheating system. Those once rampant StarCraft cheat dealers suddenly cried for their parents and had nowhere to hide.

With Honor of Kings in front and Tencent Holdings behind, plug-in vendors have never been able to penetrate the largest market for multiplayer long-term operations games.

But if they were asked to compete head-on with these super giants, they would never dare to do so.

As a result, over the years, plug-in vendors have either transformed themselves into developing stand-alone modifiers or simply changed their careers to clean up their own mess, or they have gone after games developed by small manufacturers with no background.

It goes without saying that they were all starving and emaciated.

But now, things seem to have changed a little.

A new potential game has emerged. It currently has a great market effect and has the potential to become a phenomenal game.

What makes the plug-in manufacturers extremely excited and shout that God has a good eye is that this game has neither superb technology nor a solid background.

Because the development process was rushed, there are loopholes everywhere in the game, and it is as easy for plug-in developers to break through its defenses as crossing the street in the early morning.

After years of starvation, the plug-in developers, who were pale and skinny, finally saw such a piece of super fat meat with almost no protection.

How could they hold back any longer? They were already working overtime on the development of plug-ins on the day the game was released.

What they didn't expect was that this time, there were more than one company that was happy to see them develop a plug-in for the Jedi Gun God...

……

"...it will take at least another month to complete the development?" Sean slammed the report onto the desk with a grim look on his face.

"This is the result of us cutting out unnecessary details again and again..." the subordinate who reported the matter replied timidly.

Sean wanted to continue getting angry, but his reason told him that this was not a problem that could be solved by just getting angry.

After thinking about it, he could only spit in dismay: "Damn it, how did that EC studio do it?"

Sean is the boss of a medium-sized game company. The project their company is currently developing with all its strength is a gun-battle battle royale that draws inspiration from Naraka: Bladepoint.

After Naraka: Bladepoint became a global phenomenon, they were among the first manufacturers to see the potential and immediately started developing the game.

Because they were decisive in launching the project and they had already developed several shooting games, Sean believed that their development speed was definitely the best in the industry.

But man proposes, God disposes. EC Studio and their Jedi Gunner disrupted all of Sean's strategic deployments.

Because before Gunslinger decided to launch the Battle Royale mode, it was almost fully developed.

In addition, Valentine's vision was indeed sharp. He went all in when Naraka: Bladepoint was just announced and had not yet been tested in the market.

This miraculously bought them several months of head start.

They are happy, but other manufacturers are anxious.

Cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents. I wonder how many friendly competitors who were a step slower are sharpening their knives in anger.

If Teng Hai personally launched a similar battle royale mode and cut off everyone's source of income, although everyone would be unwilling, no one would dare to say much.

It’s not shameful to be crushed by giants.

But who the hell are you, EC Studio? Are you here to cut off everyone's source of income?
Then don’t blame everyone for being cruel.

Sean picked up another phone and dialed a number with no notes. When the call was connected, he asked impatiently, "How is the progress over there?"

The other party's answer this time made his eyes light up: "Don't worry, buddy, we have entered the final testing stage, and it will be put on the market as early as tonight!"

When the Red Army bravely set out to attack the Jedi Gun God, you can't tell you how happy these manufacturers were.

While cheering for the Red Army, he wrote in his notebook that after the game goes online, no one should mess with the Chinese players.

Of course, they did not put all their hopes on the spontaneous behavior of players, and various shady tricks were also used.

One of the more common practices is to support plug-ins.

Having worked on similar games, we all know how much cheats can ruin the gaming experience.

So why not sponsor a developer to stir up some trouble for Jedi Gunslinger? It doesn't cost much and the effect is outstanding, so why not do it?

As for whether the plug-in vendors they support will turn against them when their own games are launched in the future, that is another matter.

"Why is it so fast today?" Sean asked impatiently.

The difficulty of developing plug-ins for Jedi Gun God is indeed much lower than those giants, but it does not mean that there is no difficulty.

After all, EC still has some technical skills, and although the Jedi Gun God is crudely made, the game itself is well completed, and it also has basic anti-cheating encryption.

So although the development progress is advancing, it is not too fast.

Sean originally expected that it would take at least two or three days for the plug-in developer to develop a practical plug-in.

And it can be finished today?
Is this a shot of chicken blood?
"Who knows? Today, the brothers seemed to be on drugs, their brains were particularly sharp, and some technical problems that we couldn't figure out before were basically solved in one go. We simply finished the plug-in in one go!"

The other person's tone was also full of excitement and joy.

Plug-ins also have to compete in the market. In addition to functionality, the earlier a plug-in is launched, the more likely it is to occupy the market.

The project was completed at least one or two days earlier than expected, and the developer himself was very satisfied.

After hanging up the phone contentedly, Sean's mouth curled up in an evil arc.

EC, EC, your life seems to have been going a little too smoothly recently.

But you will be busy from now on...

……

What Sean didn't know was that similar situations were happening in almost every plug-in manufacturer who was working overtime to develop the Jedi Gun God plug-in.

Their technical staff seemed to have suddenly become enlightened on this day. The development speed increased by leaps and bounds, and the technical difficulties that could have lasted for two days were shattered at the first touch.

So much so that that night, a large number of Jedi Gun God plug-ins had already appeared on the market.

Speaking of which, when plug-ins first appeared, many players were still a little uncomfortable with them.

After all, we have lived in the era of Honor and Tenghai for too long, and many people have forgotten that they can use plug-ins to improve the gaming experience.

But as some people tried to use cheats in Jedi Gunslinger, they found that it was smooth and the experience was awesome.
Pandora's box has been quietly opened.

By the next day, all the major servers of Jedi Gun God had become a sea of ​​plug-in carnival.

So much so that the gyroscope battles that Liu Hao and Zhao Yuzhe encountered were not the most shocking.

In terms of the show effect, there is a Luffy cheat that can make the limbs infinitely extended. Players only see two rubber arms holding guns sticking out from the corner of the wall, and then start firing.

What kind of invisibility cheat is this? The player can't see anyone at all. He just sees a few guns and a pot floating in the air. The moment he hesitates whether to shoot or not, he is shot down by the opponent.

These are relatively easy to deal with. After all, they are a bit of a prank in themselves and are too obvious when activated. Manually banning them can be considered an explanation to the players.

The real trouble is those hidden plug-ins that have subtle visual effects but do destroy the fairness of the game.

What is auto-aim, what is perspective, what is health lock, what is micro-acceleration...

These are all fine-tuning of the data, and many times players have no way of telling whether they are cheating or just playing well.

It is extremely difficult to track down the person.

The emergence of these plug-ins has once again plunged the Jedi Gun God community, which had finally calmed down after the rampage of the Red Army, into chaos.

There is a big problem with the game mode of Battle Royale, which is that the probability of getting the final victory, that is, eating the chicken, is really low.

Now, there is suddenly a low-cost way to play PUBG, and it is difficult for most people to resist such temptation.

Especially a special group - the anchors.

Jedi Gun God has just been released, so naturally a relatively stable group of anchors has not yet been formed. Except for the two weirdos Liu Hao and Zhao Yuzhe, there are no real top anchors in the world for the time being.

In other words, it is still in the process of countless low-level anchors fighting each other.

At this time, if any anchor suddenly has a technical lead and the probability of winning the chicken is greatly increased, they will have a good hope of standing out from the vast number of chicken-eating anchors.

And plug-ins are the quickest way to achieve this goal.

As a result, a group of anchors took the risk and took the lead in cheating, and soon many major websites appeared with a lot of "god-like operations" of Jedi gun masters.

It is said that a certain anchor in Hong Kong was originally from the LOL area. He was very bad at playing, but that day he seemed to have suddenly attained enlightenment and became extremely brave.

He used an SKS and fired 17 shots in two seconds, getting 29 kills and winning the game, which was a shocking operation.

When a host performs such an operation, the audience can tentatively regard it as an epiphany.

But when a large number of anchors attain enlightenment and start to perform extremely well at almost the same time, the vast majority of viewers should have realized that plug-ins had appeared.

Just like that, from the anchors to the ordinary players, the gaming environment of Jedi Gun God has been turned upside down by a massive amount of plug-ins.

By the time EC Studio finally realized what was happening, they were faced with a mess that was even more troublesome than before.

This time, they couldn't save themselves by sliding on their knees.

After all, the Chinese players are making trouble just to seek justice. Although they don't mind killing EC, they won't deliberately do anything too extreme.

But this time the plug-in trend is different.

They really want EC to die.

　First update. I'm in a very bad state today. I think the update should be around 7,000 to 8,000.
