Super Tomato’s video was quickly approved.
The title was: “Why Is ‘Traveler of the Wind’ a Perfect Game?”
As a top video uploader with tens of millions of fans, Super Tomato naturally had a large and loyal fan base.
As soon as the video was approved, fans swarmed in and the number of viewers displayed on the video skyrocketed.
In just three minutes, the number of simultaneous viewers had soared to over 30,000!
At the beginning of the video, Super Tomato sat in the center of the frame, looking unusually serious with his clean and handsome appearance.
“At the beginning of the video, I want to talk about something that happened before the release of ‘Traveler of the Wind,’ and even before the birth of virtual reality devices – to be precise, it happened when a butterfly had just started to flap its wings, and a storm was brewing.”
“At that time, Lincoln, who was an ordinary college student about to graduate, was subjected to severe cyber-violence and a barrage of abuse because he criticized the false promotion of brain control devices at a NetDragon press conference. ”
“I remained silent at that time, which I deeply regret. Because I knew from the beginning that he was right, and anyone with relatively clear knowledge of the field of neural interaction technologies would know that he was right.”
“But as a video uploader with a large number of fans, I subconsciously kept my distance and maintained silence in the face of such a torrent of public opinion.
I didn’t defend him, and I feel guilty.”
At this point, comments had swarmed in saying “It’s not your fault”, “It’s just human nature” , and “Isn’t staying silent when others follow the crowd a virtue?”
However, it seemed that Super Tomato had anticipated this in the video, and he continued, “For most people, staying silent about unclear matters is a rare rationality. But it’s not for me because I know the truth, the technical truth, which is as solid as iron.”
“If before I could comfort myself by saying that it was human nature, after getting my hands on the Mirage and experiencing ‘Traveler of the Wind’ first-hand, I couldn’t help but feel a strong sense of guilt. I deeply regret not speaking up for him at the time.”
“Because I truly believe that the creator of such a great technology, the maker of such a great game, someone who is at the forefront of everyone, should not be attacked in such a way.”
“A pathfinder for others should not be let down in the thorns.”
“The fact that a person like him was attacked by the whole Internet is not his fault, but the fault of all those who know the truth but remain silent.”
“So, I solemnly declare,” he looked up at the camera and said, “From today on, I am a Cloud Dream fan!”
“Now, let’s get to the main part!”
As his words trailed off, the screen began to change, and the large number of materials he had accumulated from both reality and the game, carefully edited and arranged by him, began to appear before the audience’s eyes.
“On the night of Mirage’s release, I was extremely lucky to have snagged one. If you watched my live stream that night, you’d know that I couldn’t wait for it to be delivered, so I drove to the delivery station late at night and picked up the package myself.”
“The moment the Mirage started, I didn’t know what would happen: just before entering the virtual world, I knew almost nothing about Lincoln. But one second after entering the virtual world, I had immense admiration for him.”
“With his own efforts, he elevated the game medium into a new era, but the value of the Mirage is not just a simple game hardware upgrade. Such technology, which is almost like magic, brings about a comprehensive and seamless leap forward. Compared to previous games and virtual reality games, there is absolutely no comparison – they’re worlds apart!”
“And “Traveler of the Wind” is the game that carries it all, first virtual reality game for us to play, and the very first in the world. It’s destined to become part of gaming history.”
“But I guarantee that “Traveler of the Wind” will be remembered for more than just being the first virtual reality game. It’s because of its own value.”
“Many people know that I’ve always had the dream of creating a game myself, and “Traveler of the Wind” is exactly what I dreamt of! If I could make a game like “Traveler of the Wind” in my lifetime, I would feel that I’ve lived a fulfilling life without any regrets.”
“In this game, Lincoln doesn’t force anything upon us, he simply offers us an unparalleled and magical journey. Everything we gain, the emotions and insights, all come from within ourselves. This is a never-before-seen game design concept!”
“So please note, what I’m saying can only represent my understanding and not be taken as the correct answer.”
“In this pilgrimage journey, you may feel lonely while walking alone in the vast desert, but you’ll also rejoice and leap for joy when you meet a stranger along the way. Losing a companion will leave you at a loss for words, and falling down in a snowstorm will leave you emotionally crushed. But the moment you resurrect and soar into the sky toward the pure, white Sacred Mountain with a symphony suddenly resounding, your emotions will be pulled to the highest like a roller coaster, leaving you speechless at the magnificent sight before you.”
“Some players cry nonstop here, others repeatedly say, ‘It’s so beautiful.’ Many more will exclaim like me: ‘How can this be called a game? It should be called art!”‘
“As you walk step by step towards the final destination, the slow melody of a solo cello resonates, and you understand the meaning of the game title. Life is a journey, born unknowingly, experiencing ups and downs, and eventually departing in silence. Accompanied by a melancholic and distant ballad, you transform into a shooting star, bursting forth from the top of the mountain and tracing the path of your life’s journey. Those lonely and unbearable moments in the game, and those moments of unconditional love and companionship, all remain in your life.”
“The shooting star lands at the starting scene of the game, and then you realize that this is a hero’s journey: Setting out, enlightenment, overcoming hardships, and returning with wonderful gifts. And these wonderful gifts are the experiences of the entire journey. These experiences become the wisdom to help others, ‘Use your life experiences to benefit others, share your knowledge with the masses, help them through difficulties, and embark on your journey to make others’ journeys smoother, even if you are strangers to one another.”‘
“Upon completing the collection, you would receive a white robe and become the mentor in this hero’s journey. You would help one newcomer after another embark on their journey. This is the core concept of “Traveler of the Wind”: Regardless of the outcome of your journey, use the experiences you’ve gained in your life to benefit others, so that they may, in turn, have the ability to help even more people, thus creating an endless cycle.”
“Great art has the power to withstand the test of time, and I firmly believe that
“Traveler of the Wind” possesses such strength.”
“The Bluebird Alliance says: ‘Traveler of the Wind’ has paved the way for casual games, and its existence is a miracle. It’s like a flawless and ideal flower blooming in a desert void of soil, elevating gaming to the level of art through its own power.”
‘”Game Base’ says: If you could only play one game in your lifetime, we highly recommend “Traveler of the Wind.”
“I completely agree with all these praises because “Traveler of the Wind” is a game deserving of any and all acclaim!”
“If one day, “Traveler of the Wind” is showcased in a museum, I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised.”
“I asked in the title of the video: ‘Why is “Traveler of the Wind” a perfect game?”‘
