Mini Program pirated "Glory of Kings", resurrection to watch advertising?
Mini Program Game Chaos Survey: Inferior games that insert pop-up ads flood the market
Recently, a number of games similar to "Honor of Kings" have been launched in WeChat mini programs, one of which is called "King 5V5 Competition" with more than 1,<> popularity. An investigation by the Yangtze Evening News/Purple Cow News reporter found that these games are very similar to King Glory in terms of game icons, promotional techniques, game interfaces, and operation modes. The difference is that these games without exception have a lot of ads implanted, and if you are not careful, you will click to jump to other pages. What's more, if the character dies in the game, watching the advertisement can reduce the resurrection time, and even achieve "one-click resurrection".
Can watching ads "instantly come to life"?
The reporter searched for "King 5V5 Competition" in the WeChat mini program, and the results showed that there were many mini program games such as "King 5V5 Competition", "King Don't Be Arrogant", "King Elite 5V5", "King Fighting Hero", "King Push Tower 5V5", "King Honor Battle" and so on. All of these games use "5v5" as a promotional point, and some games also call themselves "fair matches".
The reporter opened a small program called "King Elite 5V5" and found that there was an advertisement under the "Start Game" on the game launch page, and it was very close to the "Start Game", which was very easy to miss, and clicking on the ad entered another game.
In addition, the reporter also found that as long as the game is an operation to switch interfaces, including opening the mall, returning to the lobby, viewing heroes, etc., there is a high chance of triggering pop-up ads, and there are still ads after starting the game.
What's more, after the reporter dies in the game, the program immediately pops up "advertising trifecta", and "immediate resurrection" is surrounded by advertisements, when the first click "immediate resurrection", the player's character can be revived, but the second click, will jump to other advertising pages.
Don't let Mini Programs become a copycat base
The most ironic thing is that on the loading screen of "King 5V5 Athletic", it is also written "Resist bad games, refuse pirated games." The reporter searched casually in the mini program and found a long list of cottages of "Glory of Kings", all with different names, but all of them seemed familiar. In addition, "2048", "Synthetic Big Watermelon" and other more famous mini-games can find a lot of copycat versions.
This large number of copycat games not only makes players dizzy, but also makes the phrase "refuse pirated games" like a joke. Taking the previously popular "Sheep and Sheep" as an example, after the genuine "Sheep and Sheep" became popular, users will find a large number of games similar to "Sheep and Sheep" in the mini program, and even some games directly call themselves "genuine", or directly steal the core gameplay of "Sheep and Sheep" and become "melons".
