While Yang Huan was depressed in Southampton, in the United States on the far side of the Atlantic, a fierce debate was taking place in the headquarters office of the famous rating website Metacritic.

"I think this game should get full marks!" A fat female staff member said excitedly.

"That's right, even if you don't have a full score, you will have to be at least over 90." Another female staff member responded.

"If I were to rate it, I think it was ninety-six, which is my favorite mobile game."

"My words, ninety-four points."

There are not many people in the office, and there are only a few women in total, but their opinions are very unified and they all give high ratings.

This made other male colleagues in the office a little stunned. Is it reasonable to give such a high?

"Wait, wait first!"

Website head Jason Dietz stood up and told his female compatriots not to be excited.

"You know, my world is only ninety-three points." Jason Dietz reminded him until everyone calmed down.

Minecraft, this is a famous mobile game from Sweden, and it has been very famous since its test.

What is most talked about is that this game has opened up a brand new way of playing, almost a well-known revolutionary game.

But such a game only got 93 points.

Is the match-three game Candy Legend on WeChat really better than mine?

"Jason is right. A game like Minecraft is only 93 points, and the Candy Legend is only 80 points at most."

"Eighty-two? Oh my god, I'm going to give it a high? What innovations does this game have? Is the match-three mode very common? OK?"

"I also think that this game does not have any too revolutionary innovations and cannot give too high scores."

"Relatively speaking, I think their other game, Zhilong Mystery City, is very interesting and should give high scores."

After hearing this, several female compatriots immediately refused.

"Hey, you actually said that Candy Legend has no innovation?"

"Oh my God, where have you seen your eyes? You can't see so many innovations in small details?"

"That's right, it's the same match-three, why can't others achieve this effect? ​​Isn't innovation in small details called innovation?"

"I remember, as you said, what contribution Watt has made to the industrial revolution? He did not invent the steam engine!"

"That's right, small innovation is not innovation? After so many small innovations accumulate, they are still called lack of innovation?"

The male compatriots immediately began to refute.

"We didn't say that this game was not innovative, we just said that there was no innovation that was too eye-catching, OK?"

"I think I must admit that this is a well-made game. The graphics almost bring Apple's IPHONE4 screen to the extreme. It's very good, and there are quite a few small innovations. The charging point is not a boring thing, but I don't think it's reasonable to give high scores just for these."

"Marco is right, this is a game that is aimed at making money, not the revolutionary gameplay of Minecraft."

"It's like a Hollywood movie, some are commercial blockbusters that are aiming to make money, while others want to win the Oscars. These two obviously cannot be confused."

The female compatriots have found a counterattack point again.

"OK, Charles, then how do you think of Christopher? Nolan's Batman series?"

Charles immediately became speechless.

"This is incomparable. There must be films that have reached a certain level of artistic and commercial level, but I think this candy legend is obviously a commercial blockbuster that is aimed at making money, just like Transformers."

"On the contrary, I think the Zhilong Mystery City is very interesting and innovative, but for the time being, this game is not likable."

Marco's words immediately received recognition from his male compatriots.

In less than three weeks, Candy Legend has exceeded 10 million downloads. Zhilong Mystery has been around for several months, but it has been released in limited regions such as New Zealand, Australia, Canada, etc., with only 500,000 downloads.

"But from our women's perspective, I think this game is very good, much better than Zhilong Mystery."

"Oh, that's what you women think, that's all!" the male compatriots retorted.

"Hey, what do you mean? Do you look down on women?"

Immediately, a female compatriot pointed at him and asked, "I tell you, women can also support half of the sky!"

"I don't mean that, I just..."

“What do you mean?

Jason Dietz looked at the two gangs arguing each other one by one, and he felt a headache.

He had no idea that a game would divide his originally united team into two factions that were incompatible.

However, if you see that the proportion of players as high as 73% of Candy Legend is female, you will know.

As Yang Huan said in the advertisement, this is a game tailor-made for female players.

Previously, British paparazzi photographed that even Princess Kate, who had just finished her century wedding, was playing this game.

It can be imagined how popular this game is in the minds of female players now.

"Everyone is quiet." Jason Dietz had to stop loudly.

If you continue to quarrel like this, there will be no result at all.

Not only does it have no results, it may be a big fight.

Because in the end, it will definitely involve the issue of gender discrimination between men and women.

"According to the reviews of the thirty media and websites we have worked with, their scores for this game are generally around 80, which is considered an excellent smartphone game, but it is far from high scores."

As soon as the boss spoke, the men and women in the office immediately turned off the engine.

"On the contrary, Zhilong Mystery score is relatively high, reaching 85 points."

As soon as Jason Dietz finished speaking, the fat female employee immediately complained, "That's because the major review media and websites are all reviewing a game from a man's perspective."

Jason Dietz smiled, "Yes, that's right, so we can only accept this reality, Mary."

The woman named Mary had no choice but to nod.

Who said this is a powerful world for men?

"But, you will do the review of this game, Mary."

When Mary heard this, she was immediately happy and nodded constantly, "OK, leave it to me!"

"Leave the Zhilong Mystery City to you, Marco!"

"OK, no problem!" Marco nodded and agreed.

Charles noticed another problem.

"Boss, if both games are given excellent points, their gaming company will surpass Nintendo in the annual ranking."

In addition to evaluating the game itself, the rating website also has a ranking of game production companies.

Previously, WeChat Games Company relied on two popular games, cutting ropes and escape from the temple, to reach the third place on the annual list in one go, but now before the list is over, these two games have been launched, which will surely surpass Nintendo.

"No?" Jason Dietz was a little surprised.

I immediately walked to the front of a computer, opened the website casually, flipped through the list of game developers, and then calculated in my mind that the improvements after these two games were added would indeed surpass Nintendo.

The famous PC game developer Blizzard is only ranked fifth.

"Boss..."

Almost everyone was stunned at this moment.

Nintendo, this is a giant in the game field, has made many classic games that are both well-known and popular.

But in less than a year, I was surpassed by a newly-created game company?

But according to the annual rating, this is indeed the case.

Jason Dietz was also embarrassed because he could guess that once he did this, Nintendo fans and Blizzard diehards would be dissatisfied, and their saliva would flood their website.

But, after thinking about it, he decided.

"Do it!" Jason Dietz sighed, "We are doing the reviews. We will release the ratings truthfully. As for the players' reactions, they will understand."

After a pause, he thought about it again, "Candy Legend is given to 80 points, Zhilong's Mystery City is 84 points."

No one said anything at the scene, and they all went to do things silently.

IOS development community.

"God, Metacritic website is going to go against the will of heaven!"

A user posted such a post on the website and took screenshots of the Metacritic website's rating.

"WeChat Game Company is really going to be a big hit this time. The scores of cutting ropes and escaping the temple are already very high, both exceeding 80, reaching the excellent level. Now Candy Legend and Zhilong Mystery have also exceeded 80, respectively."

Judging from the screenshots, the highest score for WeChat game companies is still cutting ropes, reaching 86 points.

"It's simply incredible. I made four games, each of which reached the level of excellence, which made the total score of WeChat game companies surpass Nintendo and ranked first on the annual developer list!"
