"The Story of Oriental Fantasy Country" was released on the Steam platform for the third week, and its sales momentum was still strong. Not only did it win the honor of three consecutive weekly sales list, but its total sales also reached more than 1.8 million copies. I believe that the next week, it will successfully break through the 2 million mark.

Thanks to the game's excellent character design and story plot, "The Story of Oriental Fantasy Country" has gained a large number of character fans. Whether it is on social networks such as Weibo, Twitter, painting creation websites such as Pixiv, or forums such as Tieba, 2ch, and reddit, as well as major video websites, many paintings, novels, and video fan works have emerged.

This situation was exactly what Qin and Han Dynasty were happy to see. He even posted a post to support fans in creating fan works related to the Oriental series.

A huge series that brings together the efforts of countless creators is slowly taking shape.

On steam, "The Story of the Oriental Fantasy Country" is also very popular.

Not only many players have created various excellent mods and uploaded to the creative workshop, but also discussed and guided "The Story of the Oriental Fantasy Country" in the steam community, but also one of the most popular topics nowadays.

On Monday night of the fourth week of "The Story of the Oriental Fantasy Country" was released on Steam, some sounds that were not conducive to the game appeared in the Steam community.

A steam user with real name Zoe Quinn posted a post titled "How can a female independent game producer move forward in this prejudiced environment."

According to the self-reported statement of Miss Zoe, she is an American citizen living in Los Angeles. She suffered from depression since she was a child and lived a very painful life. Later, she finally defeated the torture caused by this mental illness. So Miss Zoe decided to make her experience a game to appeal to the society's attention to patients with depression.

As a game production and human being, she founded a working group and attracted several like-minded partners. After all the difficulties, she finally made the independent game "Depression Journey". Then on Valentine's Day this year, she logged on to steam for sale.

But beyond Miss Zoe's expectations, "The Journey of Depression" received a lot of bad reviews. Many players also had fierce criticisms, using words such as "trash", "stupid", and "not a real game at all" to describe the game.

Miss Zoe also attached several screenshots of player comments to the post, all of which were remarks such as "This female producer is too stupid" and "I think someone will pay for the game based on her female identity?"

So Miss Zoe believed that the game "Depression Journey", which has been deeply, connotated and public welfare, is unpopular because of her unpopularity.

"Traditionally, electronic games have always belonged to men's field. So many players have developed sacred and religious ideas about this form of entertainment, believing that games cannot be blasphemous, especially that they cannot be "contaminated" by women. But the times have changed, more and more women have become gamers, and more and more women have entered this industry that was once monopolized by men. Why do some men full of discrimination and prejudice stubbornly believe that women cannot make good games? Why do these people judge a person's ability just because of their gender? As a female independent game producer, I hope this industry can be more enlightened and progressive. After all, even female astronauts have, why can't women make good games?"

After a "true confession", Zoe Quinn did not give up.

She began to criticize those games that were born to flatter and please men, and there was a lot of female discrimination.

As the "Oriental Fantasy Country Story", which was launched at the same time as "Depression Journey", it was taken out and criticized.

Miss Zoe posted several screenshots of "The Story of the Oriental Fantasy Country" and wrote: "This independent game is on the shelves at the same time as "Depression Journey", but it has a completely different situation. It has won the sales championship for three weeks in a row, and its sales have exceeded 1.8 million so far, and the praise rate is incredibly more than 98%! This game claims to have extremely high degrees of freedom, but players can only choose male characters. This game has a rich social system, but the marriage partner can only be a female.

Sex! This is discrimination against other groups of sexual orientation! Moreover, it is said to refer to the myths and fantasies of the East and West, and has rich settings such as magicians, vampires, demons, witches, kappa, etc., but most of the characters in the game, regardless of race, are women. Moreover, these women have exaggerated beautiful appearances and figures, and some are even exposed in clothing. There is no doubt that this is an act of objectifying women. The producer regards women as a sexual symbol that exists only to please men!"

After criticizing "The Story of the Oriental Fantasy Country", Miss Zoe did not give up.

She wrote earnestly: "In fact, the discrimination against women by electronic games has existed since its birth. Even in a game like Mario, which is very well-known and suitable for all ages. Princess Peach always plays a weak and helpless image, always kidnapped by Kuba, and then waits for Mario to save. For players, Princess Peach is just a reward for passing the game, not a flesh-and-blood character. When will this impression of stereotyped and prejudice against women disappear? Why do so few female characters in the game do not please men with their appearance, but are popular with excellent character and powerful abilities?"

As soon as Zoe Quinn’s long article was released, it immediately caused a strong response in the steam community.

Many players who don’t know the truth and are just bewitched by her words, or who are feminists themselves, have left messages to support Miss Zoe and have complained about the current trend of discriminating against women in the gaming industry.

Many fans of "The Story of the Oriental Fantasy" and players who are disgusted with the over-proliferation of extremist feminist ideas today, left messages to fight Miss Zoe and her supporters.

Some players with calm minds did not rush to express their opinions, so they first went to see what kind of game "Depression Journey" is.

As a result, they found that "The Journey of Depression" is not so much a game as an electronic novel. The game contains a large number of still images and texts, music suppression, and the game interactions that players can engage in, that is, make different choices when entering different scenes.

There is a lack of gameplay and basically no entertainment. This game is unwilling to be watched, with a favorable review rate of only 50%, which is just an expected thing.

As for those comments that are gender-discriminatory to game producers, there is a reason for this.
Chapter completed!
