Rex is an avid fan of video games. In the past, he could only play by himself. After meeting a group of friends who like to play video games through the school's BBS, they would often hang out together.

After working, the time to get together and play video games became very rare.

Everyone has their own work to be busy with.

At this time, a friend first recommended him to play a game called "Angry Birds", "You can play two levels of this game when you are at work."

At first, Rex directly played the installation package sent to him by his friend, which is also a so-called pirated version.

Of course, this kind of online behavior is basically irresponsible.

After being exposed to it, Rex found that he couldn't play two levels at work because he would play all the time when he got home at night.

Especially suitable for playing while watching videos.

If he plays while working, he will forget that he is still at work.

Fortunately, it's not too difficult, and I cleared all the levels in about two or three days.

After reading Riot's official statement, he immediately ran to the Yahoo gaming community and moved the post intact.

So he didn't use it much.

Take "Angry Birds" as an example. There is a big boss who uses this background to make his own levels and then gives them to everyone to play for free.

Rex didn't pay much attention at first and only went up to take a look occasionally.

This is not only an infringement of the Riot Electronics community, but also a shameless plagiarism of our users’ creations!

We chose to sue Yahoo and take legal measures to safeguard the interests of the community and our users."

Rex saw that his reply had such a big response in the Yahoo gaming community, so he ran back to the Riot Games community and posted a post.

Later, Rex would read the Riot Electronics Community every day before playing games or doing other things.

“Yahoo actually did such a thing!”

First, go to the Angry Birds section to see if any of the big guys have made a new map.

"This is too shameless."

“I’m ashamed of Yahoo!”

"The brother upstairs is right. He is no longer cool, or he has become no longer cool since the day he went public."

However, there are many great masters in the electronics community, so there are always masters who know how to use this thing. In StarCraft, maps edited by oneself are often released.

At that time, the Riot Games community had already had a certain degree of discussion among game enthusiasts.

In other words, the threshold for using the map editor of StarCraft 1 is too high.

The following responses are all:

"We should bring our friends from the Yahoo gaming community over."

Yahoo doesn't have this ability. In the future, the big PUA manufacturers will probably be pig factories. Playing games is like working part-time, and you should still pay money to work in the pig factory.

Then he added an exaggerated title: "If the human race can beat the protoss on this map, I will eat the monitor on the spot."

"Since they can recognize the bad behavior of Yahoo's gaming community, they should not use Yahoo's products."

Like Comic Market, Neon’s fan convention held every six months, focusing on fan books and fan games, has been open since December 1975.)

In StarCraft 1, Blizzard also provided it with a map editor function, but in terms of use, it is far less convenient than the map editor of Warcraft.

Public opinion fermented quickly, and comments on this matter could be seen in almost all online forums that day.

Rex learned a lesson before posting and knew that if he directly reflected Yahoo plagiarism in the title, the post would be deleted.

Because he had a good impression of the game, when Riot Games later released the Christmas DLC, Rex purchased the genuine game through bank transfer.

Rex immediately became angry after reading it carefully, mainly because he had seen many of the posts and even replied to them.

If it was a spontaneous act, at least the poster's account would be changed.

Rex originally had a Yahoo Game Community account, but after registering, the content on the Yahoo Game Community was far less interesting than the Riot Electronics Community.

Zhou Xin wanted to build a comprehensive momentum to encircle and suppress Yahoo’s behavior in the public opinion field.

There are trolls from Riot Games, and there are also users who think so spontaneously.

The bigger role is to promote the Riot electronic community and make users who don’t know Riot have similar feelings: How much fun would it be to have an online forum that even Yahoo plagiarized?

“The user who copied Riot Electronics Community content is suspected to be an official member of Yahoo Gaming Community”

I only saw one post pinned to the top:

"Shameless Yahoo!, its own gaming community has no interesting content and only knows how to copy content from our community."

Grammatical errors are the most obvious manifestation. The other party's plagiarism has no gold content at all. It is a complete copy and paste.

"Yahoo! has no lower limit. As long as there are more than 50 replies to a post on Riot Electronics Community, they will plagiarize it to their own community.

The Riot Electronics community has almost become a part of his spare time.

After the incident, Zhou Xin greeted Bill Gates and asked him to help contact some media resources. The next day, he published a column on the matter and condemned Yahoo.

"As an Internet company, they violate the spirit of innovation."

Because they are all posted by the same person.

Then there are a large number of screenshots, which also have timestamps and special annotations for grammatical errors.

Later, he discovered that the Riot Electronics community was fun and the users were nice to talk to.

Users on the Yahoo gaming community generally viewed the news negatively.

Yahoo does not and will not PUA its own users, so that users will not speak for him even when he clearly did something wrong.

Only the title has been modified: "Shocked! Yahoo!'s latest invention in gaming will benefit all users!"

After being in the Riot electronics community for a long time, he also learned how to make headlines.

The evidence provided by Riot Electronics Community is also very convincing, and it is obvious that the transfer was organized.

Buying the Christmas DLC will also give you a verification code, and that verification code can also be used to register a community account.

When I got home from get off work as usual, Rex turned on the computer and entered a familiar website address.

It’s just that a few of the levels couldn’t get a three-star rating.

"No wonder I thought this content was much more interesting these days, but it turned out to be plagiarism!"

The post quickly exceeded 100 replies and became the most popular section in the entire forum.

All kinds of imaginative discussions are endless, and there are also big guys who make fan games.

(The concept of fan games can be traced back to the MSX architecture jointly released by Microsoft and ASCII in 1983.

This post is the second time Riot Games has posted about this matter on its forum.

After the incident spread on the Internet across the United States, a small number of people believed that it was a spontaneous act by users.

How do you judge that this is Yahoo’s official behavior?

A small number of Yahoo fans defended Yahoo in this way, including a few similar remarks in the Riot electronics community.

Fortunately, Riot Games has been prepared for this.
