Chapter 505: Online Crossfire

Chapter 505 - Online Crossfire"President, it looks like Takayuki's 'God of Games' aura is finally cracking."

In the president's office at Surii Electronics, a group of mid-to-senior managers from the gaming division were gathered. The atmosphere was relaxed.

Even though Gamestar Electronic Entertainment didn't publicly disclose their game sales data, Surii Electronics had its own industry channels to estimate fairly accurate numbers—though the public might still be left guessing.

Within the industry, uncovering such figures wasn't difficult.

Their re

Takayuki's "fall from grace" was prime traffic bait, and he wasn't going to let it go to waste. He even rejected a few lucrative ad deals just to keep his headlines front and center.

"Takayuki Fails Miserably!" "God of Games Falling from His Throne!"These headlines flooded YOO's homepage, seemingly determined to ride Takayuki's name to new engagement highs.

Seeing Takayuki fail gave Nagao more joy than making money.

In response to YOO's eye-catching headlines, Gamestar Electronic Entertainment launched their own counteroffensive, with support from Facebook's news platform, defending Takayuki's reputation.

Gamestar's loyal fans quickly joined in:

"It's not that the game is bad, or that it looks bad—it's just difficult. There's no difficulty adjustment, and that's the real issue."

Some players claimed that if there was an optional difficulty mode, they'd happily jump back in.

However, Gamestar officially rejected the idea.

Monster Hunter, they said, was meant to be a hardcore hunting experience. Difficulty adjustment features didn't fit the game's core identity.

YOO's team immediately latched onto that:

They claimed Gamestar had become arrogant, unwilling to listen to players, only making the games they themselves wanted to make. They declared that such an attitude would inevitably lead the market to "teach them a lesson."

Takayuki's "God of Games" image was declared on the verge of collapse, and YOO even suggested buying out Gamestar at a "reasonable price" to help them "cut their losses."
