Singularity Era Launches; NGA 'Gossip Section' Hosts Rational Review Contest

On April 13, 2023, the male-oriented romance simulation game 'Singularity Era' launched. To build momentum, the developers launched a 'Rational Reviewer' campaign directly in NGA's infamous 'Gossip Section'—a community forum known for sharp-tongued drama discussions. They offered JD.com gift cards and merchandise to encourage users to write reviews, even playfully labeling the users as 'great elite players'.

However, shortly after the post, the game suffered from server launch delays, frustrating users. NGA users immediately adopted their typical 'mischief-maker' persona, mocking the developers' decision to step into this lions' den. Many users remarked that it takes true courage to invite the 'Gossip Section' to critique your game. One comment quipped, 'This is truly meeting challenges head-on—either a glorious sacrifice or a total rebirth.'

In the comment section, beyond doubts about the 'office worker' theme and game quality, many netizens expressed their dissatisfaction with the server delays, suggesting it signaled a grim future for the title. A seasoned 'locust player' (a term for casual gamers who hop between new releases) noted that while the art style had originally caught their eye, the botched launch was enough to convince them to stay away entirely.
