An official account for a game that's been dead and buried — shut down ages ago — suddenly shows up leaving a rating for Girls' Frontline 2: Exilium on Bilibili? No, this isn't the plot of a cyberpunk horror film. It's a real discovery that recently surfaced on NGA forums. A user dug up evidence that among GFL2 Exilium's Bilibili ratings, there was a score posted by an official account belonging to a game that no longer even exists. To make things creepier, the device info on the account still showed a Huawei Mate8 — an ancient phone model — giving off major "corpse reanimated" vibes.
The OP noted that this "phantom rating" was buried deep — found at the very end of page 9 in the ratings section, hiding in plain sight.
The comment section went absolutely feral. One user cut straight to the point: "This basically confirms where Bilibili's ratings come from — Bilibili operates them directly." If it were just a publisher buying bot accounts to inflate scores, they'd at least use accounts that look semi-legit. But pulling official accounts from shut-down games? That reeks of a platform-level operation leaving obvious fingerprints.
The roasting was creative and relentless. Someone busted out the Naruto reference — calling it "Edo Tensei" (the Reanimation Jutsu), forcibly resurrecting dead game accounts to do manual labor. Others called it a "cyber horror story," imagining a vibe of "we've been waiting for you down here." One commenter channeled the iconic Chainsaw Man scene, declaring flatly: "The corpse is speaking."
Veterans even pulled up historical parallels: a long-disappeared FGO content creator on Bilibili was mysteriously "resurrected" to follow the Three-Body Problem anime when its botched adaptation launched. Even Weibo doesn't dare openly revive zombie accounts — they at least try to be subtle about it by hijacking regular users' dormant profiles.
Others took a different angle entirely, quipping: "Guess they're really strapped for cash — can't even afford quality astroturfers anymore." One user even painted a vivid scene of exhausted social media interns cranking away at a hand-powered wheel, logging into ancient accounts one by one to copy-paste reviews, while their boss screams from behind: "Faster, faster, or I'm docking your pay!"
The "raw materials" of this astroturfing operation tell quite the story: official accounts from deceased games, prehistoric phone models, buried deep on page 9 of ratings... Whether this was Bilibili's standard operating procedure or a one-time faceplant is something only the platform itself knows for sure. But one thing is crystal clear — players have eagle eyes, and no matter how well you dress up a "corpse," it can't escape the forensic scrutiny of internet archaeologists.
