This Online Game Developer is Definitely Problematic

A turn-based online game that hadn’t been updated for half a year, had a development budget seven times that of its competitors, yet only made a tenth of their revenue—a total failure. A game t...

"Internet cafe privileges?"

Geng Wei repeated the words of the contact on the other end of the phone, a little confused.

"Yes."

The person on the other end of the phone was from the headquarters.

Geng Wei's own Internet cafe is a franchisee.

The person on the other end of the phone briefly explained the "Internet cafe privileges" system proposed by Linmu Studio.

"This..."

Geng Wei heard the words on the other end of the phone, and took a look at the situation of the Internet cafe, and his heart was instantly moved.

He is on the front line. He

knows better than anyone how popular the game "Hero" has been in the past few days.

Although it is not as exaggerated as the first day of rest.

All the machines are full.

But the grand occasion of the public beta of "Breakout" is back.

Every day.

The attendance rate of the Internet cafe is maintained at more than 70% every day.

And these players play for a long time.

As long as they play "Hero", the time on the computer starts at at least six hours.

Geng Wei was really excited and happy during this period.

And if on this basis, plus the Internet cafe privileges given by Linmu Studio...

Geng Wei was excited just thinking about it.

However.

Excitement is excitement.

He still forced himself to calm down and asked, "I understand, but it shouldn't be free, right? As for the price..."

The person on the other end of the phone also knew Geng Wei's concerns and said the price twice.

Geng Wei heard the number and did a little calculation in his mind.

Probably the computer fee needs to be increased by 50 cents.

He immediately said, "Okay, I accept it!"

The person on the other end of the phone was not surprised and smiled, "Okay, then you prepare. The privilege system will be online soon, but Linmu Studio has an additional condition, that is, you must promote their games, and it is best to be in the most advantageous position. You try to meet it. We will give the promotional materials they give to your entire area in a while."

"Okay."

Geng Wei nodded, then exchanged a few pleasantries and hung up the phone.

As soon as he hung up the phone,

he couldn't help it and smiled.

He threw down his phone, walked around the front desk, and came to the outside of the Internet cafe.

Outside the Internet cafe.

On the glass window.

There were promotional pictures of various games.

Geng Wei walked around and started to choose the promotion location.

He couldn't even wait for the promotional materials from the headquarters.

Because "Hero" is really popular recently, so many people are playing it, if you add a privilege system...

tsk tsk tsk.

Geng Wei now has only one feeling, Linmu Studio is really good...

But after going around in a circle.

Geng Wei didn't find the promotional position.

Because most of the positions are posted with game promotional pictures.

Well...

Geng Wei stood still and finally determined the best promotional position.

However, there is already a promotional picture on this promotional position, which is the game "Shenge"...

But it doesn't matter.

Geng Wei plans to withdraw.

After all, he still knows which game has the most people playing and who can make money for him.

...

"Hero" is open for early experience.

It became popular immediately.

And as the game became popular, the business of Internet cafes also began to flourish. This matter even made the news in some places.

At the same time.

Very suddenly.

Internet cafes in major cities across the country, like bamboo shoots after rain, quietly appeared a lot of the same promotional pictures...

The game being promoted is Linmu Studio's "Hero". Originally

.

This kind of promotional picture outside Internet cafes is quite common, and many players just look at it and forget it.

But the promotional picture drawn by Lin Yao is so handsome.

And most importantly, it’s OK to just promote it on a large scale.

Inside the Internet cafes,

there are still players who are playing this game...

This kind of publicity effect, coupled with the excellent quality of the game "Hero" itself and

the attribute of advocating competitive confrontation,

immediately attracted some players who didn’t know about this game.

And the strong social attribute of the game's team-playing further encouraged players to actively recommend the game...

The final result is that it blossomed in many places.

After the initial opening of the first-hand experience, the game "Hero" once again ushered in rapid development.   It absorbed players

at a speed of almost swallowing up ... players of other games.   Inside Linmu Studio, the number of online users of "Hero" is increasing day by day.   Heroes are steadily launched.   Skins are released one by one.   Because "Hero" is backed by the Vaporwave game platform, the number of users of the Vaporwave game platform has also increased a lot.   Linmu Studio has launched another hit...

This is the consensus of many people in the industry. It

's really too outrageous.

How long has it been since the last "Warcraft" was released...

Can both paid games and free online games be popular?

But what makes them feel even more outrageous is.

Linmu Studio can release a hit, so why did their own game... the number of online users drop so much?

Yes.

Their new game "Hero" is different from ordinary online games.

Some players will defect.

Lin Yao's colleagues are also mentally prepared.

But this is too much, right?

Then they checked.

Linmu Studio really took action.

Internet cafe privileges...

After the colleagues figured out what Internet cafe privileges are, they were stunned.

And... this kind of operation!?

However, the one who was most affected was still Tianhu.

Although Tianhu seems to be suppressed by Linmu Studio everywhere, they have many online games and their market share has always been very good.

So their games are also the most affected...

For some of their games, the number of online users has even been cut in half because of "Hero".

After Li Guangsheng figured out the Internet cafe privileges, he almost vomited blood and couldn't believe it at all.

This Linmu Studio... How come there are so many new tricks!

What on earth did they do before? They

can come up with such a weird method.

And then.

What followed was anger.

At this moment.

Li Guangsheng was angry, but this time he didn't scold the product department, but the publicity department.

"Are you pigs? Look at others! Look at the results of others! What do you usually do!?"

The person in charge of the publicity department didn't say anything.

What can he say?

Do he also think that the other party's publicity method is awesome?

"Solution! Speak!"

Li Guangsheng saw that the publicity person in charge didn't say anything, and he became even angrier: "I just went to a nearby Internet cafe and took a look around. The most conspicuous position was all "Hero"! Our game! All in the corner. I give your publicity department so much money every year, and you give such a result!? And Linmu Studio, the Internet cafe privileges they launched not only promoted the game, but also charged money! Did you know!?"

As he spoke,

Li Guangsheng became even angrier.

Yes.

The other party can also charge money!

This is the most infuriating!

"..."

The head of the publicity department also knew that he couldn't escape. After a moment of silence, he whispered: "Mr. Li, why don't we also do an Internet cafe privilege..."

Li Guangsheng: "..."

He suddenly felt a little tired.

He is such a big fox.

Can he only join if he can't beat it?

Please vote for next month...
