This Is Not a Bug bu Chapter 58: Co-Branded Graphics Card

Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Co-Branded Graphics Card

In response to so graphics card sellers misusing or unauthorized use of the "Star Emperor" ga’s promotional images, Tianba Studio issued a warning.

The warning was quite effective.

At least on a certain e-comrce platform, you can no longer see third-party sellers daring to take risks and fool newbies with promotional images or videos of "Star Emperor."

But this is just third-party sellers, while higher-level and smarter graphics card manufacturers have already got the point.

Unauthorized, huh?

Why not just ask you for authorization?

No, no, no! It’s not just authorization, bro, your ga is aweso. I think we can collaborate and launch a "Star Emperor" co-branded graphics card. What do you think?

Chen Ba hesitated symbolically for a second, then nodded in agreent.

He offered too much!

Judging by the current trend, "Star Emperor" is not far from flopping, and to salvage as much as possible and gather developnt funds for the next new ga, this is acceptable.

Thus, with mutual consent, Daren Shuo quickly launched a new co-branded product — the RTX 3080 Star Emperor Edition!

"Star Emperor" still has its popularity.

Although the pre-emptive experience version didn’t sell many copies, and a bunch of fresh optimization bugs discouraged many low-config players, it’s a first-rate superstar in the graphics card community.

Regardless of the ga’s sales and mostly negative reviews, you can’t deny its high discussion heat!

Daren Shuo also saw this point and specifically approached Tianba Studio to launch the so-called "Star Emperor" co-branded graphics card.

And indeed, this collaboration was quite successful.

The design in materials, fan blades, ultra-cooling process, and the barely acceptable price made this co-branded 3080 graphics card sell like hotcakes.

Of course, this isn’t the main reason.

The real reason for the card’s popularity is actually because the 30 series had a mining card scandal that scared off most players.

Coincidentally, a co-branded card was released, positioned as a high-end flagship, and everyone thought the co-branded card had a low chance of failure, hence its high sales.

The success of the RTX 3080 Star Emperor Edition also made Refused Protection Jia, Desolate Rainbow, and Shrunken Star graphics card manufacturers sll a business opportunity.

In this ti when the 30 series was assud to be full of mining cards, everyone’s graphics cards weren’t selling well. Seeing Daren Shuo’s co-branded card on fire, wouldn’t they follow suit?

Driving one sheep is leading, driving a herd is also leading!

With an open-all-cors approach, Chen Ba agreed to all of it.

Only, because it was agreed upon with Daren Shuo, the "Star Emperor" na can no longer be used for co-branding.

But no biggie.

Even though "Star Emperor" can’t be used, there’s still Emperor of the Long Night and Emperor of the Universe!

Running out of emperor nas?

No worries, there’s still Alien Race Venerable! As long as you want a co-brand, Tianba Studio can definitely co up with a co-branding plan that will satisfy you!

[Major Update: Desolate Rainbow X Star Emperor to launch GeForce RTX 3070Ti Profound Turtle Venerable Edition, more details...]

You call this a major update?

Having just installed a new graphics card and entrusted his 1070Ti to a trusty fellow, Guo Mo couldn’t wait to log into "Star Emperor" to test the new card’s performance.

As soon as he entered the ga, he was rendered speechless by a barrage of ga update notifications.

The last ti he felt so speechless was when "Living Under Soone’s Roof Simulator" released a dozen patches in a row to regulate housing prices.

This ti got better!

It’s not regulating housing prices, and Dubhe can’t speculate on real estate either. This ti it’s graphics card co-branding, with five or six consecutive update announcents, all notifying various co-brandings.

"Anyone who didn’t know might think, is this a graphics card manufacturer’s official website or sothing..."

After mocking Tianba Studio’s flashy maneuver, Guo Mo didn’t even look at the remaining co-branding announcents and directly opened the ga match interface.

"Arcade mode?"

The newly added arcade mode in "Star Emperor" imdiately caught Guo Mo’s attention.

Upon checking the mode description, he realized: "So it’s a mode disabling Extre Sublimation, supporting 1V1, 2V2, and 3V3 entertainnt gas."

Seems pretty interesting.

In arcade mode, apart from disabling Extre Sublimation, 1V1 isn’t different from the normal mode.

But 2V2 and 3V3 are special.

In the multi-player mode, death allows unlimited resurrection, and you can change characters during the resurrection ti.

The ga map also becos larger, and the planets on the map are indestructible. Players in the Venerable camp can absorb life essence, while those in the Great Emperor camp need to safeguard all beings.

Planets absorbed by a Venerable can be rejuvenated under the Great Emperor’s protection. Both Protection/Slaughter are individual skills that require a charge ti before release.

In 10 minutes, the faction with more captured planets wins.

Basically, it’s a point capture deathmatch mode!

Disabling Extre Sublimation, supporting up to 3-player teams is a nice highlight, but that’s about it.

Equipped with his new graphics card and feeling great, Guo Mo wouldn’t bother with arcade mode. He wants to re-challenge the Path to Immortality.

"In this life, I shall beco immortal!"

With a 3080 in hand, Guo Mo thought that on the Path to Immortality, there shouldn’t be many who could be his opponents, and surely his na would be among those who beco immortal this lifeti.

"What the heck, soone’s already beco immortal?"

Accidentally opening the leaderboard, he saw a string of seven or eight lifetis of Red Dust Immortals and an Immortal King, swallowing his saliva.

Damn! Who are these people?

Calculating the ti, from the "Star Emperor" early access release to now, it’s only been twenty days, right?

To reach Immortal King so quickly, overlooking eternal years, and stepping on Venerable Emperors, this player nad [Love Driving the Cullinan] is definitely not an ordinary person!

If others used such an ID, Guo Mo might doubt its authenticity and question whether the person really had the prowess to drive a Cullinan.

But this Immortal King master, well...

Perhaps they really do have a Cullinan in their garage!

"No matter, I’m not ranked!"

Guo Mo was very calm, after all, he only played two ranked matches, both of which he lost, and now he’s just at First Heaven of the Great Emperor.

No matter how strong the masters on the board were, could they still rank higher than him?

Don’t kid !

With this 3080 graphics card, at least below the Celestial Emperor rank, he’s invincible.

Entering the match, the opponent’s ID revealed a high concentration of ani-like clichés, obviously a miserable shut-in, and their rank, like his own, was at First Heaven of the Great Emperor.

[Buried Love Xiaomo]: "You should surrender; I don’t want to hurt you!"

[Saber’s Dog]: "Just bought a 3090. Heard this ga is good. Why does everyone speak so harshly here?"

Oh, putting on airs, are we?

With such an ID, you tell

you have a 3090? If you’re going to pretend, make it believable!

Guo Mo could hardly contain his laughter, can’t be bothered to bicker, went straight in with Extre Sublimation, activating the supre 12G mory Emperor Technique and 350W power consumption forbidden Secret Technique at full blast.

One minute later.

Staring at the rebooted ga client, Guo Mo lit a cigarette expressionlessly, lost in thought amidst the swirling smoke.

Miscalculated!

With such a tacky na, so little guy at First Heaven of the Great Emperor didn’t even brag...
