I Quit My Job to Make an Indie Game. Four Years Later, I Sold 1,200 Copies.
Ledger The day Zhou Ran quit, HR asked why. He said he wanted a break. HR nodded and handed him a form. He signed it. He kept his work badge. Later he threw it in a drawer. The drawer already held an unopened pack of stomach medicine and half a box of business cards.

BLG Didn’t Lose Because of Arrogance
The sin of arrogance, or a fig leaf: BLG's defeat and the LPL's labeling dilemma I. The birth of a label On September 13, in the LPL Split 3 Grand Final, AL defeated BLG 3–1 to lift the organization's first Silver Dragon Cup. A week earlier, BLG had swept AL 3–0 in the winners' bracket final, even shutting them out 20–0 in Game 1. Seven days later, AL answered with a 20–1 in one game, the most complete revenge possible.

The Board is Dead. Long Live the Flesh.
When the Go board ceases to be a dojo And why “Go is dead” is only half the truth The day Ke Jie said “Go is dead,” the words travelled far beyond the professional circle. Most people who shared his remark thought they were witnessing a genius admit defeat – the last human champion kneeling before silicon. But Ke Jie was not talking about winning or losing. He was talking about the death of a language.

Win Without a Fight
We live in an age that worships methodology. Entrepreneurs declare from stages that strategy is choice. Management consultants write white papers calling it path. Cultural critics mutter over drinks that it comes down to values.

The Peep That Threw Away a 98.8% Lead
Shengzhou, July 30, evening. Dang Yifei’s index finger hovered three inches above the go bowl and did not descend. The referee glanced sideways at him. He waved his hand and put the stone back into the bowl. On the board, the black stones had formed a solid chain, and the white dragon in the lower left corner had only one liberty left. He resigned.

I Played 26 Games of LoL Classic Mode. Here’s Why I Uninstalled It.
The login screen loaded, and the background music played. That same melody. My finger hovered over the mouse. I didn't click. Not because I was moved, but because I suddenly wasn't sure why I was here.

Everyone Laughed at This Chinese War Game. Six Months Later, It Might Be the Most Important FPS of the Year.
On July 30, 2026, Hangzhou Haotang Technology released the second gameplay trailer for Resisters , its single‑player FPS set in 1940s China. Six months had passed since the first demo, the one that got caught red‑handed for using “cheat‑like” aim‑assist and drew mockery across the entire Chinese internet. Back then, the bullet comments were all “anti‑Japanese war drama launcher,” and nobody believed a homegrown FPS could make the Chinese theater of WWII feel anything close to authentic.

Acceleration City: Treasure Hunters Review
I’ve tested a lot of “learn to code” games over the years, and most of them fall into one of two traps. Either the coding part feels bolted onto a game nobody would play for fun, or the game is fun but the “coding” is just clicking a button labeled Run . Acceleration City: Treasure Hunters is one of the rare titles that avoids both traps, and after spending several sessions racing through its neon-lit streets, digging into how its CoBot programming panel actually works, and comparing it against the other big names in kid-friendly coding education, I understand why teachers keep bringing it back every Hour of Code season.
