The influence of Hami's hacking was still spreading.
Many people did not expect things to turn around in such a way. Of course, the onlookers were in a heated discussion. However, what was more important was the attitude of Fish-Catching Live-Stream Platform.
As a big streamer, Hemi had to consider the reactions of three parties when he revealed that he was using cheats. On one hand, it was the official platform. Chen Mo didn't have much of an opinion on this. He just had to admit it and apologize. On the other hand, it was the pressure from the audience and public opinion. This wouldn't directly affect the streamer, but it would definitely affect the live-streaming platform's decision. Lastly, it was the Fish-Catching Streaming Platform.
Generally speaking, live-streaming platforms could choose to protect or sell such incidents. Of course, the specific measures still depended on the players' reactions.
If the players were infuriated, the live-stream platform would have no choice but to ban the live-stream forever, return the gifts, and use the most severe punishment to draw a line with the streamer.
If the players were relatively forgiving and the streamer still had some value, the live-streaming platform might be relatively forgiving and help the streamer clear his name, hold a press conference, cry and admit his mistake, and then go back to live streaming happily to earn money.
Obviously, Fish-Catching Live-Stream did not expect Hami to admit to cheating. Even the upper echelons of the live-stream platform were puzzled. Hami had proven himself well. He was about to clear his name and become more popular. Why did he self-destruct?
A day later, Fish-Catching Live-Stream Platform's notice was released. The punishment for Hai Mi was to return all the gifts he received during the live-stream of PlayerUnknown's Battleground and ban his live-stream.
Of course, Fish-Catching Live-Stream was more lenient and did not pursue Hemi's liability for breaching the contract. What's more, blocking the live-stream only meant that he could not live-stream on Fish-Catching Live-Stream. It did not matter if he live-streamed elsewhere.
Even so, this was harsh enough. In this kind of situation, which live-streaming platform would be willing to sign a live-streamer with a dark history like Hemi?
…
After hammering Hemi, the gamers turned their attention to Skyworm and the other streamers. All the streamers who had entered the Celestial Server were dug out by the players.
There were streamers from all the major live-stream platforms. Of course, the biggest streamer was Heavenly Worm from Fish-Catching Live-Stream Platform. He was also known as the Barcode Warrior.
Hami's self-destruction was like a fatal stab to the back of these people.
At first, with Hami holding the fort, the players' attention was focused on Hami. However, after Hami proved himself, the players' attention shifted to the others.
"Everyone, Hemi has already admitted it. How much longer are you all going to play dumb?"
"I feel like these streamers still have a little bit of wishful thinking. They need a little help."
"I think it's most likely that Hemi didn't cheat. After all, his skills are so good. In the end, even Hemi admitted it. Are the others still going to deny it? "
"Hehe, he won't shed a tear until he sees the coffin. I guess he's waiting for the official confirmation?"
While the players were in an uproar, the streamers had tacitly made the same choice — to remain silent!
Some anchors simply stopped broadcasting, while others continued broadcasting, but they turned a blind eye to the screen full of "hanging wall" bullet screen comments. They laughed and talked about other things.
The players were furious. How could this be? Trying to bluff your way through by pretending to be stupid? Do you really think we're just bystanders who can't punish you?
Soon, pressure came from all sides. First, the major live-streaming platforms could not take it anymore, especially Fish-Catching Live-Streaming Platform.
Many players said, "Are you condoning cheating? You might as well not call it Fish-Catching in the future, but Fish-Catching Live-Streaming! "
In fact, Fish-Catching Live-Streaming Platform had no reason to protect Heavenly Bug and the other streamers. On one hand, Fish-Catching's PlayerUnknown's Battleground still had Old P and the other streamers who did not use cheats to support them. On the other hand, compared to the streamers, the live-streaming platform's reputation was more important.
How much practical benefit could they bring by protecting these streamers? They did not have many core fans. However, the damage to the platform's reputation would cause the loss of users. That would not be worth it.
Therefore, Fish-Catching Live-Streaming Platform began to pressure all the streamers who had opened Weibo for PlayerUnknown's PlayerUnknown's Battleground. They had to explain within a time limit to reverse public opinion, or they would take necessary measures.
For example, they would significantly reduce their advertising resources, lock their popularity, terminate their contracts, or even block their live-streaming rooms forever.
The reason why Fish-Catching Live-Streaming Platform was so tough was because they had seen Chen Mo's attitude. According to the people at the scene, Chen Mo and Hemi had a conversation. This should be inextricably linked to Hemi's admission of using cheats.
In other words, Chen Mo obviously did not intend to let these streamers off. Even a skilled streamer like Hemi had been beaten by Chen Mo, let alone the other small fries.
Fish-Catching Live-Streaming Platform was also afraid that the scene would be too ugly, so they gave these streamers a heads-up in advance.
In the end, under the pressure of public opinion from the players, several major live-streaming platforms jointly made a statement. All the streamers who were suspected of using cheats would participate in an offline self-verification activity!
The self-verification activity this time was still held in the capital, at the MG Esports Club, and all the streamers were willing to participate.
Obviously, this was the last chance that the major live-streaming platforms were giving these streamers. If they did not participate in this self-verification activity, it would basically mean that they would be jointly banned.
…
Qin An looked at the instant noodles in front of him with some sadness. There were only four buckets left.
He ordered another box of instant noodles online, feeling a little heartache over the balance in his bank account.
"Sigh, I'm so poor. I wonder when the major clubs will set up the PlayerUnknown's Battleground branch. "
Qin An muttered to himself as he thought about his livelihood for the next month.
He felt that his PlayerUnknown's Battleground skills were already quite good. He could often make it into the top ten in the celestial server. Although he had not won the chicken dinner yet, he seemed to be improving every day.
As for the official server, he was not sure himself. However, it should be simpler than the celestial server, right?
After looking at the news during this period, Qin An felt that PlayerUnknown's Battleground had been really eventful recently. First, Hemi's self-verification was reversed, and he admitted that he had turned on micro-targeting. After that, the major live-streaming platforms jointly organized a self-verification activity. This might be the largest self-verification activity in history, and the number of people who testified might reach seven.
