Closed After Only Two Weeks? A Look Back at the 'Dreamland' Incident Three Years Later

Do you remember 'Destiny Child: Dreamland Link' (often called 'Dreamland' by players), the game that mysteriously shut down after only two weeks? Recent reports confirm that the developer is now facing bankruptcy and reorganization. Given that Bilibili was once a shareholder, this swift downfall left many in the community stunned.

In the comment section, players engaged in a collective trip down memory lane. The consensus is that the game's rapid demise was caused by 'license-swapping' (using an existing, unrelated game's license to publish theirs). This blatant disregard for industry regulations caused them to hit a regulatory wall, forcing the game to shut down just half a month after launch.

Furthermore, veteran players noted that the core development team left after this disaster to create another project, 'Jump Ship', which was also widely criticized. This talent drain eventually crippled their ability to develop anything new, leading to the current bankruptcy. As for the refunds, experiences vary wildly: some players managed to get back thousands, while others are still waiting for small amounts that never arrived.

Despite the outrageous management, many players admit with nostalgia that the gameplay was actually quite innovative for its time, spawning several imitators. It is a classic case of a good concept ruined by poor business decisions, now reduced to an infamous 'urban legend' in the gaming community.
