The next day, at the Tianba Community.
An account representing Tianba Studio officially posted a clarification announcent regarding the "blood lock" incident on the community’s pinned post, the hopage of the official website, and inside the ga.
[Investigation results regarding the "Galaxy" peripheral driver anomaly issue...]
With the announcent, Yu Wenjie was finally cleared of his grievances!
He couldn’t wait to log into his Tianba Community account and posted a thread titled "I Didn’t Cheat" in the digital technology section.
The post quickly garnered countless likes and comnts from players, with the most common reply being the words "I’m sorry."
Indeed, Yu Wenjie had been holding back his frustration.
These past few days, the entire community had been accusing him, calling him a treater, and saying he had so secret deal with Ba, which was why he could cheat without getting banned.
The truth proved he was innocent.
Cheating? What cheating?
He was clearly a wronged victim; the issue wasn’t caused by him. The player who triggered the driver bug was soone else.
Speaking of cheating, it should be Zhao Yunlong who was cheating. After all, he could control other players’ characters over the network, wasn’t that cheating?
Of course, that was a joke.
Tianba Studio had issued an announcent clarifying the situation. Not only was this unrelated to Yu Wenjie, but it also didn’t have much to do with Zhao Yunlong. In short, it was a ga bug induced by the driver program.
Ba was the real culprit!
Players felt guilty for wronging an innocent person but were also at a loss regarding Ba.
Why were they at a loss?
Of course, it was because even though Ba admitted the incident was caused by the Galaxy peripheral driver, he didn’t acknowledge it as a problem within the ga.
"Don’t talk nonsense! The ga I made is perfect, not a single flaw! The Galaxy Peripherals are produced by Mirage Electronics; if you want to bla soone, bla Mirage Electronics!"
Mirage Electronics: "..."
Regarding the bla-shifting maneuver by the chairman of the parent company, Mirage Electronics also felt quite speechless.
Well, the devices were made by them, so the statent isn’t wrong, but the driver program for Galaxy Peripherals was developed by Ba himself.
The hardware had no issues; the problem was with the driver. How can they shift the bla to us?
Alright, alright!
Given that Mirage Electronics was acquired by Tianba Studio and is now a subsidiary of Tianba Company,
even if Mirage Electronics felt aggrieved, they couldn’t refute it; they could only reluctantly accept the bla and acknowledge it as their problem. If anyone wants to bla soone, bla them, but please don’t bla Ba.
The only consolation was that since the Galaxy Peripheral Set had a high price and limited use scenarios, not many players purchased it.
In other words...
Even though the incident caused quite a stir, it ultimately only created a commotion within a small scope and wouldn’t affect the actual experience of the majority of players.
Anyway, not many sets of the devices were sold. Apologize when necessary, cease sales as needed, and refund where applicable!
Mirage Electronics thought this way, and they’ve acted accordingly. Since the Galaxy Peripheral driver had severe defects, greatly affecting the normal environnt of "Star Emperor 2", they decided to stop sales and slowly figure out a solution.
They couldn’t keep selling it when the issue hadn’t been resolved, could they?
Otherwise, wouldn’t the players... huh?
Chen Ba had considered many possibilities, including players learning the truth and collectively requesting refunds, the Galaxy Peripherals being withdrawn right after release, and the whole thing turning into a joke, and so on.
No choice!
This was indeed an oversight by him and Mirage Electronics; they didn’t anticipate such a situation nor had a better redy.
Learn from mistakes!
Chen Ba had even thought that for the batch of Galaxy Peripherals already sold, they would try to recover them as much as possible. If recovery wasn’t feasible, they would release new driver patches on the official website for everyone to download and install.
The driver written by the Iron Fool System wasn’t usable; it’s better to revert to the original driver! Although it might be less compatible, at least it wouldn’t have so many glitches.
Yet he absolutely didn’t expect that, after the Studio released the announcent clarifying the situation, not only was there no mass return and refund request for the Galaxy Peripherals, but they experienced a surge in sales!
Yes indeed...
Previously, even with extensive advertising, only over ten thousand sets of Galaxy Peripherals were reluctantly sold. After the announcent was made, tens of thousands of orders were received within just a few hours.
That wasn’t the main point. The main point was that all these players who placed orders requested not to change the driver; they bought it for the authentic experience, and they’d request a refund if the driver was altered.
Moreover, none of the players who had previously bought the Galaxy Peripherals requested a refund or return.
There were even people speculating on the second-hand "Galaxy Set" on the trading platform opened by Tianba Studio.
Second-hand being more expensive than brand new, who would’ve thought?
"I certainly didn’t expect this..."
Chen Ba twitched his mouth and said, "Could it be that we didn’t make it clear in the announcent? Knowing there’s a defect and still buying it, are they out of their minds?"
"It was made clear!"
"Precisely because the announcent was so clear, even explaining the process of how to trigger this driver bug, that the sales of the Galaxy Set skyrocketed."
Yang Dong said with a helpless smile, "Co on, possessing other people’s characters, that’s so cool!"
As for taking over soone else’s role and inadvertently getting severely injured or crippled... that’s a minor issue.
Everyone mainly wants to experience the process of "possessing" other players.
That’s really interesting!
If you could see the real-ti screen of the possessed character after taking over, that would be even cooler, emphasizing a "leveling service."
