With the advent of the mobile era, QR code login has gradually become popular in various PC games. Compared to username and password login, QR code login does not require entering a password on the computer, thereby minimizing the risk of account theft or destruction when players use unfamiliar devices.
But awkwardly enough, a recent incident taught me that scanning a QR code to log in can actually be quite dangerous.
Three days ago, an incident occurred in the Delta Force community: a Bilibili streamer named "Qingyu Tpor" intended to use the game's QR code login feature to randomly play a few matches on captains' accounts. However, upon logging in, he sold Everythinggj from the warehouse to the collection room, leaving nothing behind—commonly known as "account destruction."
Of course, regarding this seemingly bizarre event, "Qingyu Tpor" provided his explanation immediately when the account destruction began. It turns out he had an unwritten "rule" with viewers in his stream: only those who spent 168 yuan to become a "captain" in the stream could use this feature to let him play on their accounts. If someone who wasn't a "captain" scanned the code and intruded, breaking the "rule," he would destroy their account as a warning to others.
Therefore, from "Qingyu Tpor"'s perspective, he believes this act of account destruction was a case of "one willing to hit, one willing to suffer."
So, is the truth really as he said, that the person whose account was "destroyed" brought it upon themselves?
How could that be possible.
According to the livestream recording from that night and the account owner "Wuyue Shiwu"'s subsequent response, the entire "Qingyu Account Destruction" incident was not as simple as "Qingyu Tpor" claimed. Indeed, during the account scanning phase of that night's stream, "Wuyue Shiwu" was not a captain of "Qingyu Tpor," but he was also not someone who intruded into the stream to cause trouble.
"Wuyue Shiwu" was indeed a captain of "Qingyu Tpor," but his captain status expired at midnight on February 28th, while the "account destruction" incident occurred in the early hours of March 1st, only a few hours apart. Moreover, although he was no longer a captain, "Wuyue Shiwu" still had a level 23 fan badge accumulated from previous spending, and he hurriedly renewed his captain status. By any measure, he could not be considered an "unrelated person."
Although people often say "modern society is cold," human relationships have never truly disappeared—when you live in a place for a long time, the boss might give you a fried egg when you go downstairs for noodles; or give you a lighter when you buy cigarettes. Moreover, a monthly captain subscription of 198 yuan is not a small amount for most people.
But judging by "Qingyu Tpor"'s behavior that night, he clearly did not consider these basic principles of human interaction. The logic behind his actions was like a simple program with only if statements. His sole criterion was, "Is the person scanning the code to log in right now a captain in my stream?"—If not, then destroy the account.
Moreover, besides "Qingyu Tpor"'s simplistic logic, akin to "Hajimi's underlying code," there are several key points worth questioning in the entire "account destruction incident"—
First, since "Qingyu Tpor" didn't want non-captains to log in and "disrupt the stream order," wouldn't it be better to send the QR code interface to the captain group and keep the screen black for outsiders during the stream?
Secondly, why was "Qingyu Tpor" so casual about the serious matter of "destroying an account"? If he had checked the victim's danmu (bullet comments) before proceeding to destroy the account to confirm it was a misunderstanding, would it have come to this?
Finally, are the so-called "rules" set by "Qingyu Tpor" in his livestream room really reasonable? Even if his intention was to maintain order in the stream, is it really necessary to go to such extremes with a complete stranger he has never met?
Given his performance when clearing out "Wuyue Shiwu"'s inventory that night, I can only assume that "a non-captain scanning the code to log in and getting their account destroyed" was a stunt he deliberately created to boost his stream's热度 (heat/popularity).
In terms of hand speed
Actually, "Qingyu Tpor" did provide answers to these questions that night. But his attitude was, "Am I close with you? You haven't sent danmu, logged in before, or sent gifts; you just reported an ID claiming it's your account. I don't know you" (no exaggeration added, these are exact quotes from the recorded stream).
Furthermore, "Qingyu Tpor" claimed that after discovering the issue, he gave "Wuyue Shiwu" a ten-second countdown (however, due to Bilibili's stream delay, by the time the account owner heard the countdown, his account was already destroyed), and that "Wuyue Shiwu" did not log in himself to kick him off, nor did he use WeChat's security assistant to freeze his account. Therefore, all consequences must be borne by "Wuyue Shiwu" himself—this argument even received support from the stream's danmu and members of "Qingyu Tpor"'s fan group.
Of course, "Qingyu Tpor" and his hardcore fans can have their own narrative, but "justice resides in people's hearts"—from the sequence of events described above, readers should already be able to discern who was right and who was wrong.
More importantly, the QR code login boosting service organized by "Qingyu Tpor" was not the common "streamer plays to earn resources for you" seen in Delta Force streams, but rather a "tutorial style" where the account owner bears all resource costs but can specify the gameplay strategy. According to a video posted by "Wuyue Shiwu" after the incident, seeing "Qingyu Tpor" play several difficult matches, and out of affection for the streamer, he equipped his account with the game's most expensive "Tier 6 Set" and fully modified guns, hoping "he could play an easy and enjoyable match." He even left a danmu message after "Qingyu Tpor" successfully logged in, saying, "It's my account, play as you wish."
However, "Wuyue Shiwu"'s sincerity was not only misplaced but also cost him dearly, resulting in "all precious resources accumulated over a year (over 200 AWM bullets, dozens of sets of Elixirs), and out-of-print items (according to the stream recording, including but not limited to 2 Beacon Cups, 3 Pure Source Stones, 4 Billy Wolf figures) being completely cleared out." After proving his captain status, he didn't even receive an apology...
In a civilized society, I cannot use profanity, but I feel that after this incident, "Qingyu Tpor" could directly transition to becoming a full-time Ululu streamer.
Since everyone receives similar education in kindergarten, the "Qingyu Account Destruction" incident quickly spread from the Delta Force community to almost the entire Chinese internet gaming circle, sparking widespread outrage.
Just kidding, there weren't that few people
Now, "Qingyu Account Destruction" has become the first major internet event of March. KOLs participating in the discussion include, but are not limited to, Ming Zhiming (also known as "Iron Fist Song Xue Godfather"), who had prior conflicts with Qingyu; Zi Min, who no longer views things in a mirror-image fashion; Mr. Whale, who admitted he was not as god-like as "Qingyu Tpor"; and Shaoyu, whose reputation has recently improved due to his "extreme 1v2" performances...
Even players in the gacha game community, who are usually constantly arguing, put aside their disputes upon hearing that Qingyu planned to stream their games after his comeback, choosing to "unite against Qing."
The details of this bizarre event from start to finish were compiled into a new generation of definitive comment section posts, repeatedly dissecting the rogue logic behind the incident as they spread.
Moreover, somewhat darkly, the useless "countdown warning" caused by stream delay during "Qingyu Tpor"'s account destruction has become the latest internet meme. Any scene with a countdown might trigger associations, bringing undeserved trouble to enthusiasts of the "red light green light stop challenge."
Of course, indispensable to this event were the Tomato Novel authors, who always stand at the forefront of hot topics and surf the internet faster than me, the lame meme guy from the 3DM Original Editorial Department.
Additionally, a Bilibili gaming content creator named "Qing Yu" inexplicably gained a wave of traffic due to Bilibili's mysterious recommendation algorithm.
As the topic's popularity skyrocketed, various dark chapters from "Qingyu Tpor"'s past were dug up amidst public anger—for instance, back when Overwatch was still a 6v6 game, "Qingyu Tpor" had verbal conflicts with some Overwatch players due to his poor performance in high-rank matches; later, when he switched to Naraka: Bladepoint, his actions again sparked dissatisfaction among Naraka players.
At that time, many victims also came forward under this momentum, identifying "Qingyu Tpor"'s past misdeeds.
The most blackly humorous part of this grand excavation of dark history was a post "Qingyu Tpor" made on his "BB Space" in 2019. At that time, his power was cut off at midnight because he forgot to pay the electricity bill—a moment then, just like this moment now.
"Qingyu Tpor" is no stranger to making small mistakes, nor is he unaware of the discomfort of being nitpicked and not receiving reasonable forgiveness after making them—yet despite experiencing all this, he still failed to empathize with the fellow player whose account was destroyed.
Ultimately, "Qingyu Tpor" paid a heavy price with his online reputation completely collapsing. In addition to insults and accusations from netizens, Naraka: Bladepoint, with whom he collaborated, has initiated a request to terminate their co-creation agreement; his MCN agency has also launched an investigation into the incident.
In contrast, after the victim of this incident, "Wuyue Shiwu," released a video to speak out for himself, many players sympathetic to his plight paid out of their own pockets to promote the video, hoping to expand the reach of the incident to help him defend his rights;
Brands such as Razer, Westinghouse massage chairs, Titan Water Cooling, and Panzhi, as well as major esports clubs and loot-running streamers, have also contacted the victim "Wuyue Shiwu," hoping to help him through their efforts.
Thus, within just a few days, everyone involved witnessed two extremes in the Chinese gaming community: the extreme indifference of "Qingyu Tpor" destroying an account, and the warmth offered by righteous netizens after the incident.
When this incident first broke, I thought it would most likely just fizzle out, with the victim, "Wuyue Shiwu," having placed their trust in the wrong person and forced to bear the consequences alone—this has been the ending for many similar cases. More and more people are learning to accept indifference, and more and more people believe that warmth cannot overcome coldness.
Fortunately, I was proven wrong. The warmth in people's hearts ultimately overcame the indifference of "it's none of my business." More importantly, when similar incidents occur in the future, these memories may be reawakened and shine their light, guiding people toward the right path.
Last but not least, I want to say that although the status of victim "Wuyue Shiwu"'s account may be irrecoverable, with the help of everyone coming together, hopefully he can eventually emerge from this shadow—and then, rediscover the joy that video games bring.
