Chapter 209: Chapter 150: This Is Not a Bug, It’s a Design Flaw! (2)
Three days later, several netizens revealed that their newly purchased cars encountered rear axle trailing arm fractures shortly after taking delivery.
Coincidentally, the models these netizens bought were the sa ones that had problems in "Speeding Frenzy." The manufacturer of this model was the one planning to sue Tianba Studio for slander and defamation.
Oh no!
The online spat between Tianba Studio and this car manufacturer had already beco quite intense, with considerable heat and discussion on the internet.
Now, with multiple real car owners coming forward, confirming that Tianba Studio wasn’t lying and it was truly a vehicle design flaw rather than a ga bug, netizens were laughing uncontrollably.
"Is it the raven’s mouth? First, knife Brother Ba, the prophet!"
"Wow! The problem that even the car manufacturers haven’t noticed was discovered by a ga?"
"Not surprising, the most realistic physics engine. Brother Ba, I’m impressed, please collect your Divine Technique..."
"Oh no! I was planning to buy a Baochi, and I’ve heard the new model in ’Speeding Frenzy’ has an oil leak issue?"
Car owners panicked, and so did the car manufacturer.
Initially, when it was revealed that the new model frequently had axle breaks in the ga "Speeding Frenzy," both car owners and manufacturers were very calm.
It’s just a ga...
So what?
Problems with the cars in the ga have nothing to do with real-life cars. Can a ga really affect reality?
As it turns out, yes, it can!
Everyone thought Brother Ba was joking: what real physics engine, what design flaw, just a loudmouth ga producer, do you know about car design?
However, with multiple owners sharing their experiences, it slapped the manufacturer’s face.
Brother Ba really understands cars!
He wasn’t bragging; this ga’s physics engine really has sothing, and it can even simulate this? It truly is a design flaw?
The model with the axle break issue is a revamped car, selling very well dostically, with average monthly sales consistently above 50,000 units.
This also led to the issue gaining massive traction, with the axle break incident causing a snowballing effect, making it unrealistic for the manufacturer to fully control public opinion.
Sue Tianba Studio?
Forget it!
Now the dia reporters and car owners have surrounded the headquarters, all demanding an explanation.
This car manufacturer doesn’t even have the ti to sue Tianba Studio; not being sued by the car owners would already be considered a success...
They now only hope to quickly appease the furious car owners, stop the mouths of dia reporters, and quickly suppress the popularity of this incident, without anyone ntioning axle break anymore.
After announcing a recall of the problematic vehicles and offering compensation to affected car owners, the manufacturer finally lowered their head, admitting it was a design flaw.
anwhile, on the other side, the Baochi’s new model which had oil leak issues in "Speeding Frenzy" also received feedback from car owners that their cars indeed leaked oil.
Baochi panicked and promptly launched ergency public relations.
However, learning from its competitor’s lesson, they didn’t imdiately try to shift the bla onto Tianba Studio or "Speeding Frenzy," but instead declared they would imdiately conduct an investigation to find the root of the problem.
Consecutively, two car manufacturers suffered losses in the ga "Speeding Frenzy," being exposed for serious quality issues.
This also scared the other car manufacturers quite a bit.
They were also afraid.
Even though their models haven’t faced similar issues, who knows what might happen in "Speeding Frenzy"? Will it continue to make waves?
As a result, these car manufacturers all sent official letters requesting Tianba Studio to remove their models from "Speeding Frenzy" and dissolve previous collaborations.
They’d rather pay a penalty than have their models appear in "Speeding Frenzy"...
Don’t ask, asking ans they’re scared!
Is "Speeding Frenzy" cursed or sothing? Seeing the misfortune of those two competitors, who dares to allow their cars in "Speeding Frenzy" now?
"Brother Ba, this is trouble!"
Lu said worriedly, "So many manufacturers are requesting to terminate the cooperation, preferring to pay a penalty rather than let us use their models. What will happen to our ga?"
Once the cooperation is terminated, "Speeding Frenzy" will have very few cars to use. For a racing ga, that could be catastrophic.
After all, how can your racing ga have so few models, with only a handful of cars to choose from?
"There’s nothing we can do!"
Chen Ba seed indifferent: "If they want to terminate, let them terminate! We’ll just hint to the players and let them know why these models were removed."
Oh?
Lu’s eyes lit up at the words: "I get it..."
Brother Ba’s words ant revealing the reason for terminating cooperation with these manufacturers to the players, implying between the lines: they aren’t clean!
Isn’t that obvious?
If there’s nothing wrong with your car, why remove it from "Speeding Frenzy"? What are you afraid of?
Being afraid ans you’re not clean, and there’s sothing wrong with your car. After all, if you don’t even dare to appear in "Speeding Frenzy," you must be afraid of the sa disaster happening again!
Sure enough.
When Tianba Studio announced that a portion of brand models would be removed in the next update, not only players of "Speeding Frenzy" but also netizens who didn’t play the ga were all focusing on these brands.
Of course!
Besides so car manufacturers, who felt too guilty to face "Speeding Frenzy," there were also so manufacturers that didn’t care and continued their cooperation with Tianba Studio, allowing their vehicles to be played in the ga.
These brand models suddenly beca the focus of everyone’s discussion.
After all, after experiencing the "axle break" and "oil leak" incidents, almost all netizens realized that "Speeding Frenzy" is no ordinary ga.
Manufacturers that dared to stay in this ga were mostly confident, full of faith in the cars they produce.
If that’s the case, then these cars must be good cars! After all, not fearing "Speeding Frenzy" shows they’re really confident, with at least no major issues.
Interestingly...
The models that remained, continuing to cooperate with "Speeding Frenzy," were mostly dostic cars.
Those joint-venture cars, however, were scared out of their wits, fearing that "Speeding Frenzy" might stir sothing else up, causing a scandal that could affect sales.
But their plans backfired.
Leaving "Speeding Frenzy" affected them just as much as a scandal would have.
Whenever soone wanted to buy their cars, netizens would always ask: This brand’s cars don’t even dare to appear in "Speeding Frenzy," yet you’re still buying it?
"Our cars are fuel-efficient!"
"Strong power, luxurious interior, look at this ambient light, look at these leather seats..."
"Then why didn’t I see this car in ’Speeding Frenzy’? Is there so design flaw or safety hazard?"
The sales’ endless marketing spiel would be reduced to silence with just one sentence from ordinary consurs.
Originally, "Speeding Frenzy" wasn’t widely known, and not many people knew or played it.
But due to the far-reaching impact of the previous axle break incident, everyone on the internet had heard of it. Thus riding this wave, "Speeding Frenzy" beca a well-known ga among many netizens.
Now it’s good!
Cars featured in the ga, performing well in the ga, saw a significant sales increase. Especially Huazi and Di’s electric cars, whose sales almost doubled.
However, for cars not in the ga, consurs generally had doubts.
Older consurs, who don’t often use the internet, are easier to fool. But young people, who doesn’t know about "Speeding Frenzy" and the axle break incident?
If your car isn’t on "Speeding Frenzy," then it’s unreliable. No matter how much you brag, young people would still shake their heads and refuse to buy.
Based on this premise, those joint-venture manufacturers relented.
Previously eager to leave "Speeding Frenzy," they now approached Tianba Studio, hoping to have their models included in "Speeding Frenzy."
Earning money isn’t embarrassing!
As long as there’s profit to be made, forget a change of face like in Sichuan opera, they wouldn’t even hesitate to kneel and bow to Brother Ba.
