Chapter 334: Just Want to Watch You Suffer
Chen Mo’s Weibo sparked a raging fury among the player community. Damn it, we’re being tortured to death by this game, and you’re still in the mood to joke about it?
Beat this bastard to death!
Many players voiced their opinions: Boycott *Getting Over It*, boycott Chen Mo’s games, boycott Thunder Game Platform!
A lot of players called on others to uninstall the game as a statement!
Although many said this out loud, their bodies honestly kept opening the game over and over again. Meanwhile, even more players chose to share this game with other players, streamers, and video creators. Watching those driven mad by the game had become a trend in itself.
Whenever a streamer or video creator reached a critical point in the game, many viewers would timely send out bullet comments. Large swaths of repeated bullet comments made the visual effect especially striking.
“Welcome to the checkpoint!”
“Where the dream begins”
“Welcome home”
“Come home often”
“Pity the desk!”
“Carry him out, next!”
“Another one’s gone crazy, carry him out!”
Many people discovered that watching others play this game was way more fun than playing it themselves!
It was at this point that many players realized the true joy of *Getting Over It*: watching others get tortured!
In reality, that was exactly the case. The game’s popularity didn’t come from being fun to play, but from the explosive entertainment value it provided in videos and livestreams. So, driven by major streamers and video creators, its popularity skyrocketed, turning it into a phenomenon.
Many streamers, while playing, figured out that the game could actually be saved at checkpoints through design exploits. No one knew whether Chen Mo had overlooked this or intentionally left it in.
However, streamers who used these exploits to save were boycotted by viewers, as it completely contradicted the spirit of the game itself. So, while regular players might save when they couldn’t get past a section, streamers stubbornly started over from the beginning every time.

On the Q&A community, a question was trending: This game has no real gameplay, its models are rough, its quality is poor—even an ordinary B-level designer could make it without any difficulty.
Yet, despite that, its daily downloads had already exceeded 2 million?!
