Netizens are truly resourceful. After a series of speculations, many people feel they know the truth.
"My cousin works in a certain company, and according to him, the company wanted to make money by selling the copyright of that designer's work, but the designer ruthlessly rejected them."
"A certain gaming platform? Isn't this a common practice?"
"I heard that the copy version is already in the production stage and will be released soon."
"I wouldn't even play it."
...
So viewers watching the live stream started to express their indignation over the ga's removal, but most players didn't seem too affected. For them, this was just a popular ga with a short-lived internet fa.
Perhaps due to having a previous template, the team at Yoga acted swiftly. In about a week's ti, they had a new ga ready for release:
[Shovel It: Digging for Ascension]
The ga was priced at ten dollars, and overall, it didn't differ much from the previous version.
The only notable change was the character inside the bucket, now replaced with various characters holding different tools, from shovels and sickles to even a rake.
Each weapon had unique enhancents, which could be acquired through additional in-ga purchases.
For example, the sickle and rake provided more stability for climbing than the hamr.
Seeing this, Ye Feng couldn't help but sneer. The charm of "Get Over It: Digging for Ascension" had never been about extending your life or changing weapons to improve yourself.
Just like Hollow Knight, Celeste, Dark Souls, and other gas, every progress was achieved through repeated trials in death.
Technological growth was never about using more convenient or powerful weapons.
As expected, when Yoga's "Shovel It: Digging for Ascension" was released, eager players imdiately downloaded the ga.
Those who had previously purchased "Get Over It: Digging for Ascension" could still play it, but those who hadn't purchased it had no way of doing so.
Although they said they would only restrict broadcasting but not playing, the ga was entirely removed from the store, leaving no purchasing channels.
Even so, this ga still occupied the internet with its funny and hot topics.
Players who learned about its removal could only express their itching desire to play it.
This itch persisted until the release of the new ga, "Shovel It: Digging for Ascension".
With the sa ga setting and similar map models, even the tree from the hotown was perfectly replicated.
The only difference was that "Get Over It: Digging for Ascension" had a low-quality texture, while this one featured more refined original artwork.
"Hmm, they didn't ban it this ti?" Brother Yin bought the ga and prepared to try it out.
He looked at the bullet comnts with a mocking expression. "This ti, no one reminds of violent elents, huh?"
He used the free trial card for the rake, and climbing up the mountain beca smooth sailing.
As he reached Orange Mountain, the trial card's usage ti ended, and the rake turned into a shovel.
Using the shovel, he easily hooked onto the edges of the mountain, making the ga much easier than "Get over It: Digging for Ascension."
The feeling of losing from easy to difficult instantly appeared in everyone's hearts, but even so, it was challenging to recapture the sa sensation as before.
Brother Yin played for only about ten minutes before uninstalling the ga and requesting a speedy refund.
"Before playing, I was worried that if this ga surpasses the original designer, how would the original ga get the attention it deserves?" He was surprisingly serious during the live stream.
"Haha!" He just laughed, as if everything was self-evident.
Curious netizens, after experiencing the new ga, couldn't help but mock:
"So this is the ga that made you smash tables and keyboards?"
"I thought it would be much harder, but it only took to reach Snow Mountain?"
"Sigh, a ga that relies on hype is not fun..."
"I'm glad I only played for an hour and a half, got a refund easily."
"A bunch of people who never played the original version are criticizing it using a pirated one..."
...
Comnts like these flooded the internet.
Song Shan, who had been feeling frustrated since the ga was taken down, now felt elated. "Look at these comnts, feels so good! I made them take it down, made them copy it! Got a taste of their own dicine!"
"Really satisfying!"
"Hey, why aren't you reacting?" He walked over to Ye Feng and showed him the related content on his phone.
Ye Feng read the comnts about "Shovel It: Digging for Ascension" in the comnt section and felt a hint of jealousy.
All these comnts were tagged as "Super Difficult."
For a ga, getting recognition from players and earning the label "Super Difficult" was a sign of success.
It was like the highest praise among boys, saying "You're aweso."
[Super Difficult: The ga is really hard, hahaha! Can't play without paying money. I'm poor, so I'd rather play the simple and cheap one that got taken down.]
[Yes, it's super difficult. Finally got the evaluation I've been hoping for from other gas nearby.]
[I just want to enjoy the fun of the ga. Why do I have to spend money?]
[I played 'that ga' and my heart almost stopped for 30 seconds, but even so, I still give it a 'very simple' rating!]
...
Ye Feng read the comnts and fell silent.
In his heart, he couldn't help but feel sorry for the system. Following him must have been quite difficult...
"We're not releasing the next ga on Yoga, right?" Song Shan looked at the ga, which Ye Feng had worked on a large part, leaving himself only responsible for about one-fifth of the content, but it still made him exhausted.
The ga had a perfect storyline, fascinating and ever-changing levels, a rich weapon and equipnt system, and exhilarating action gaplay.
Initially, Song Shan thought this was just a ga where collecting cells would make you stronger, but after seeing the entire ga design, he realized that contributing cells was actually a scam.
Every permanent upgrade in the ga was the driving force for progress, just like a snowball rolling down from the mountaintop - it continuously grew until it beca unstoppable.
Song Shan believed that once this ga was released, it would undoubtedly impress the world once again.
"No." Ye Feng shook his head, not wanting to make the sa mistake twice.
Song Shan glanced at Ye Feng, who was still earnestly making the ga.
This snowball was rolling down the mountain.
