118: Section 118

Soon, a large number of sarcastic remarks gathered.

Many people even felt that Dota Mobile would definitely be defeated by Honor of Kings in the end.

But facing all sorts of ridicule from the outside world,

after sending out that Weibo post, Dota Mobile directly fell silent, with no further activity.

It wasn't just the official Weibo of Dota Mobile.

Even Dota Mobile itself showed no fluctuations for a period of time afterward.

Originally,

on the third day after the two games' open beta events, a very serious bug was discovered by players in Dota Mobile, and this bug was submitted.

Originally,

when such a bug appeared in a game, the game company should be able to fix it within a few days.

But strangely,

after this bug was submitted, Dota Mobile never had any update activity.

Even the customer service and official Weibo of Dota Mobile.

At this moment, they all fell silent, not giving any answers when faced with players' inquiries.

It was as if,

after the half-price store event, all Dota Mobile employees had disappeared.

Except for the servers not being shut down and still running normally,

no other trace of the game still being operated could be found.

Many players were also puzzled, wondering if Dota Mobile had given up resisting.

Even within Junzi Group,

many people felt that Dota Mobile had already admitted defeat, which was why no one was managing it.

Only Wang Mo knew clearly.

The gaming field is Penguin Group's core business, and Pony Ma would absolutely not give up on Dota Mobile just like that.

Dota Mobile being so quiet right now must be brewing something big.

And the facts were indeed as Wang Mo had predicted.

Exactly one month after the two games' open beta events,

the missing official Weibo of Dota Mobile finally sent out a message.

And as soon as this message was released, it directly ignited the player circle in Yan Country's mobile game field, causing a huge uproar.

The content of this message was very simple.

It was that Dota Mobile would usher in a comprehensive innovation three days later.

Most of Dota Mobile's previous game mechanisms would be completely rewritten!

After this change,

Dota Mobile would almost become a brand new game.

This update content was completely subversive for Dota Mobile.

Dota Mobile even announced that after this update, a new word would be added in front of Dota Mobile!

And looking at this update message,

many players finally understood why Dota Mobile had disappeared for a month.

It turned out they were secretly preparing something big in private.

However, this was not what shocked all players the most.

Just as many players clicked into this update announcement to view the detailed information,

the more they read, the more they discovered.

New Dota Mobile, how is it almost identical to Honor of Kings!

Canceling the deny mechanism, getting gold even without last hitting.

Buying equipment across the entire map, reducing the map area.

Canceling the tree mechanism, tree juking will become history, and some key original trees will be changed to bushes, allowing stealth when entering.

Newly launched battle pass and lucky draw treasure hunt.

And so on and so forth.

This series of changes seemed to be a replica of Honor of Kings.

At this point, many players understood.

It turned out that this 2.0 update of Dota Mobile was directly copied from Honor of Kings!

Therefore, as soon as this change information was released,

it was almost instantly attacked by a large number of Dota Mobile players.

For a time,

the comments on this Weibo post exceeded 100,000!

"If you can't make a game, then don't, what's the point of changing Dota Mobile into Honor of Kings?"

"I came here because of Dota PC version, now you've changed the game like this, why don't you just call it the Honor of Kings copycat version instead of Dota Mobile!"

"Without denies and without trees, can this game still be called Dota?"

"I thought your 2.0 update would have something fierce, but it turns out you sold yourself out."

"I actually think simpler is better, the current Dota Mobile is really too difficult, if it weren't for most of my QQ friends being in Dota Mobile, I would have gone to Honor of Kings long ago."

Although some players could understand Dota Mobile's intentions,

most players were furiously cursing this change.

This update notification was even cursed onto the hot search by countless players at one point.

And for the current situation, Penguin Group had long anticipated it.

They understood very well.

This update would definitely cause many Dota players to curse them, but if they didn't do this, Dota Mobile might eventually only retain this group of players.

So, better a short pain than a long one.

Dota Mobile's internal team remained incredibly firm in pushing forward with the game's reform.

At the same time,

after Dota Mobile disclosed the changes,

Junzi Group naturally also became aware of this information.

.

Honor of Kings Department.

Inside Zhou Qiang's office.

"This Penguin Group is too shameless, aren't they?"

"I thought they had already admitted defeat, which is why they were quiet for the past month, but I didn't expect them to pull this trick?"

"Copying again, huh (what the hell)?"

"First, Weibo copied our Douyin, and now Dota Mobile is copying our Honor of Kings."

"As expected of Penguin Group."

"The title of King of Copycats is truly well-deserved."

Zhang Fan's voice was echoing from the office.

At this moment, his expression was also quite indignant.

He hadn't expected.

Dota Mobile's update, after a month, would directly target Honor of Kings.

And listening to Zhang Fan's words, Wang Mo murmured.

"Actually, once Pony Ma discovered Honor of Kings' potential and also realized the gap between Dota Mobile and Honor of Kings,"

"he was already left with only two choices?"

"Which two?" Zhang Fan asked.

"The first choice is."

"Pony Ma chooses not to change Dota Mobile, allowing most Dota Mobile players to flow towards Honor of Kings, but retaining his core player base."

"In this case, both Dota Mobile and Honor of Kings can coexist and operate simultaneously."
