2022 is a historic year for domestic games.
In previous years, various publicity of domestic single machine has made everyone have special expectations for the national single machine, and feel that the domestic single machine is about to rise.
Fortunately, a group of giants who want everyone to recognize the reality came forward and successfully proved that doing nothing is better than engaging in fraud through continuous tumultuous operations.
From the point of view of controlling people's expectations, they are so gentle in what they do.
I cried to death.
If you want to get scams seriously, it's Mirror 2 and the mysterious company behind them.
This mysterious company is like a sophisticated spy, shooting a shot to change places, walking a few steps to change an identity, making it difficult to understand who they really are.
Initially, they made some money by doing skin-changing mobile games, and then built a company called "Love Follow", and began to make love and develop mobile games, intending to follow the style of "Love and Producer".
Probably because the involution of the mobile game market made them unable to withstand it, they finally decided to change to a nobody's track to compete in dislocation.
This track is... Adult gaming.
Abbreviated as butter.
While butter has always been an enduring category in the world gaming market, it's a bit too magical to do this with us.
This groundbreaking idea managed to attract traffic to the company's games, the only problem was that their butter was completely copied from well-known Japanese games.
The devil knows how much the boss has practiced with this game.
I don't know if it was to circumvent the problem of his company's name, but the owner of this company set up a studio and used the name Sakura Game.
Then the company was found by the player and exploded.
After being sprayed, Sakura Game was reborn on the spot, became a new brand, and re-entered the single-player market to engage in fraud.
This time the field they chose was, adults... Match 3.
This game is the famous Mirror.

The game itself is of average quality, but as a manufacturer who dares to make 18X games in China, the main is a courage, so many people empty their wallets and toilet paper.
The company quickly deregistered its former company, regenerated KAGAMI II WORKs, announced on the spot that it was developing Mirror 2, and began crowdfunding from players.
Generally speaking, crowdfunding is not unusual, but in September last year, the production team issued an announcement that directly regarded players as stupid.
They say Mirror 2 is a 16+ game, and it's astringent.
What? Where's the astringent content, you ask?
Our sister said she was an astringent game.
Want a refund?
Okay, you send Alipay, I'll call you.
This kind of riding face output behavior directly broke the defense of the game's die-hard fans, and the avatar of the sticker bar became a clown on the spot.
But at this point, the company is still excited, they announced that the reason why they don't make 18X is because they have big gaming dreams.
He wants to do China's "The Witcher 3".
Don't laugh, you're trained not to laugh.
Oh no, hahaha
With such a great dream, the company opened three projects and rubbed three heats respectively.
The first to rub the popularity of the previous game is "Mirror 2".
The second rubbed the popularity of "Genshin" and said that he would do an open-world construction farming simulation.
The only problem was that everyone found that he rubbed too hard, and he rubbed it into the shape of the original god.
Looking at this picture, I don't know that I thought that the original god had a new role.
The third one, I don't know what to rub, maybe only a name.
Of course, after the announcement, the player group will no longer have any good face for this company, and even the other two projects have been directly labeled as given by Ollie.
But soon, this open-world fishing and vegetable growing game, which resembles Genshin, was renamed "Nova Island Story" and re-skinned and sold.
And that "Mirror 2" also released a chapter in the world of infamy after its release.
Just when everyone felt that the fraud of this broken company had ended here, the company directly issued an announcement on March 9, saying that it was bankrupt and ran away.
The clown directly changed into a posthumous photo.

When it comes to teasing players, this company has really done its best.
In this roll run announcement, they announced that their games would stop updating and wanted to refund themselves, but their money had been spent, so they were not running away with a bucket, but running bankruptcy.
The translation is that whether it can be returned to the money is not certain, anyway, Lao Tzu is bankrupt and there is no money.
It also emphasizes that he absolutely does not have such operations as "illegal fundraising fraud" and "taking players' privacy".
It's just jumping in the face and saying, "Dear, my scam is completely legal~"
According to the data they issued in the announcement,
In total, Mirror 2 sold 4.2 million copies and earned more than 18 million after taxes.
They say that 18 million is not enough to develop the entire game, and 18 million is only enough to develop 37% of the game.
Now the money is burned, let's disperse!
As for why the money is burned so quickly, the legend is that the company directly hired dozens of people, and the three production teams started work at the same time, taking the highest salary in Chengdu, and burning 6 million yuan in three months.
Anyway, what they mean is that now the money is spent, and it is really spent, as for who earned it, then you don't care.

At this point, in the fraud industry, this company has given the entire industry a sample.
What seriously does the game, what EA does not fill the pit, are too tender and dish.
Real fraud is a link after a link, treating fraud as a cause or even an industry.
What's even more magical is that although this company was scolded and ran away, before running, they can roll up a large amount of money and slip away, which is the only thing that can educate the market:
In China, there are 4.2 million players who will be deceived by this kind of thing.
Then it is obvious that after getting this signal, this kind of fraud will not stop, and it will intensify and fight hard to support domestic players.
It's deadly.
Two days ago, I brushed the recommendation of "Shushan: First Chapter", clicked in to take a look, and there were no unexpected bad reviews.
But guess is it making money?
Even magically, even if you are a serious gamer, it is the best solution to run away after making some money.
Otherwise, look at Heluo Studio, the intention is really intentional, but after turning over the car twice, it was sprayed into something.
The expectations of players are really cute and hateful.
People who don't love games can make money by scamming in the game market, which is really a magical world.
