"What's going on! Why did the recharge interface change?"
"Wait! The recharge rules have changed? Damn it, how can this be possible!"
"Fuck, before I could play games just by paying for membership. I spent ten yuan to pay for membership, and now you remind me that there are different levels of membership? Ordinary members can only play some ordinary games on the platform, and level 2 members can join the 'remote' game member club and become a beta tester of the remote game? Ordinary members can only be open to the public after the beta test is over? And there are many privileges that ordinary players can't enjoy?"
"One dollar is equal to one Remote Coin. Two hundred Remote Coins can get you to level 2 of the Remote Game Platform membership? Three thousand can get you to level 3, and forty thousand can get you to level 4? Damn, Lu Yuan, why the hell are you going crazy! Are you crazy about money? Forty thousand, my God, how can ordinary people like us come up with forty thousand!"
"Your sister!"
"It's a liar, 'remote' game, damn, it's just a game company that cheats people out of money, damn it!"
"I'm not going to play it anymore. I originally thought some of the games on the 'Remote' platform were quite interesting. It's okay to spend ten dollars to get a membership. But, you treat me differently right from the start. What do you mean by that?"
"I played the 'remote' Plants vs. Zombies game today. Damn, I saw bribery? I saw a recharge gold interface where you can buy sunlight if you can't pass a level..."
"I have it too. When I was playing the stand-alone version of Super Mario, there was an additional interface for purchasing cheats and recharging. I clicked on it several times!"
"Fuck! The problem is, even after buying the cheat that grants temporary invincibility, I still can't pass the level!"
"day!"
"Some games without cheats have opened a 'remote' game currency system. One dollar can buy two game coins... Shit, can't it be free?"
“…”
When Lu Yuan's live broadcast platform bombarded China News, Lu Yuan's "remote" game launched various recharge operations that really blinded everyone's eyes.
Everyone was stunned!
Afterwards, the angry players went to the major gaming media forums and started to curse the "remote" game and Lu Yuan, and to greet Lu Yuan's relatives and friends...
They feel very unhappy!
Why?
In the past, when you could play all the games on the "Remote" game platform for just ten yuan, people still cursed but recharged their accounts. After all, the single-player games and arcade games launched by "Remote" Entertainment really made everyone feel refreshed, as if they had entered a new world and were quite addictive.
When they gradually got used to logging on to the "remote" entertainment platform whenever they had free time every day to play Landlord or some other games, the remote interface was suddenly upgraded without any warning.
After the upgrade...
The style of the “remote” gaming platform remains the same!
but……
The recharge system has become somewhat eye-catching!
Among the games that "Remote" is about to launch, only "Remote" members above level 2 can be tested internally and play them one month in advance. Level 1 members are cheaper, only ten yuan, but level 2 members cost two hundred yuan...
All right!
I can still tolerate the Level 2 membership, but what about your subsequent membership system?
Level 3, 3,000, Level 4, 40,000, Level 5...
All right!
Level 5, more than 100,000...
Of course, these are not the things they complain about. After all, it is normal to spend two hundred yuan to upgrade to a level 2 membership.
But!
Here comes the speechless part!
When they actually entered the game, they suddenly discovered that there was also a recharge system inside the game...
You said you don't have enough game coins for one day? The character died?
The game currency prompt has appeared.
One dollar, two game coins, support for resurrecting characters!
You said that you can't pass the free single-player game for members? The levels are too difficult?
Good! One dollar buys you five seconds of invincibility to help you clear the level.
Small web upgrade game. No equipment, can't beat the BOSS? Someone else got it first?
The Dragon Slaying Sword is free for every recharge. Recharging money can make you stronger and help you win at the starting line...
The players suddenly realized something!
That is, if the remote gaming platform is fully analyzed, it becomes a game where you just click on a button to recharge and use money to create short-term happiness!
Someone has tried it before. In the game "Super Mario" which was just released not long ago, a player with average skills had to buy at least ten five-second invincibility bonuses to complete the game...
As for those with poor skills...
It's normal to spend twenty times in one game...
Damn it!
One dollar is not much, but after playing for a while, you have spent ten dollars without realizing it...
Although the feeling of completing a level makes you feel great, after the feeling is over you realize that you have been cheated!
So, in order to vent their anger, these people naturally started to criticize without saying a word!
Countless scoldings!
…
There are countless complaints on domestic gaming forums about how “remote” entertainment is a scam and a money-sucking scam.
At the same time, the insults against Lu Yuan were getting louder and louder!
At this time...
Ma Huaming, the person in charge of Tianxin Games, also joined in the fun and issued a condemnation statement on Weibo!
"The 'Remote' gaming platform is simply insane and shameless! It has seriously violated the wishes of our game players and has brought very bad influence to our gaming industry. From the perspective of a player, I completely condemn this behavior. I have always felt that the charges should be reasonable and should not just consume the general players. Moreover, running a game is a long-term thing, not just a quick way to make money. Lu Yuan, I know you are very powerful in the entertainment industry, but even so, I have to tell you that you are the fly in the ointment. You have simply broken the rules of the gaming industry. Are you so short of money now? Lu Yuan! Get out of the gaming industry! Neither I nor the majority of players welcome you!" Ma Huaming's voice was stern, and after this statement, he issued countless angry signs.
In fact, he was not as angry as he seemed, and he had no conflict with Lu Yuan!
But, aren’t competitors enemies?
When there were not many people on the remote platform before, he didn't take it seriously.
He felt that these things had no effect on him.
However, as Lu Yuan's live broadcast industry suddenly became popular, Ma Huaming suddenly found that the number of players on his Tianxin game platform was decreasing day by day. After he saw that a new game was updated in the "Remote" game almost every half a month, he suddenly began to have an indescribable sense of crisis.
Damn it!
Release a game every two weeks!
Who can withstand this?
Doesn’t this “remote” gaming idea cost money?
This day!
When Ma Huaming saw that the "remote" game suddenly made a series of recharge operations and was scolded by everyone, Ma Huaming suddenly felt that he had found an opportunity!
So, he stood on the moral high ground and criticized "remote" games harshly.
The moment he posted on Weibo, he instantly saw that his Weibo was forwarded countless times and received countless likes. Countless comments below were praising CEO Ma Huaming for his open-mindedness, and they all began to condemn Lu Yuan and his "remote" game. Even colleagues in the same game company began to forward and condemn.
"Qin Han Games: Support Mr. Ma, Lu Yuan, get out of the gaming circle, please stop hurting the enthusiasm of the players, the gaming circle can't tolerate your bad apple!"
"City King Game: Lu Yuan, get out of here! Friends, join me in boycotting the 'remote' platform. If no one signs up as a member, I will see how he can cheat people out of their money!"
"A well-known game player: Er Gouzi is simply crazy about money, what on earth is he trying to do!"
“…”
“…”
Overnight, the entire "remote game" became a notorious existence that everyone hated!
…
the next day.
It's sunny.
When Liu saw the countless curses and condemnations from the gaming community, he was so scared that his face turned pale.
He immediately left Remote Company and headed towards Remote Entertainment.
The wind blew his few strands of hair, and in the wind, coupled with his dusty and anxious expression, there was an indescribable feeling of sadness.
"Boss Lu, something bad has happened!"
"Da Liu, what's wrong? Don't be anxious, drink some water and talk slowly..." After looking at Da Liu's nervous expression, Lu Yuan immediately stood up and poured him a glass of water.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu. Oops, our 'remote' game has been criticized!"
"What's the bloody mess?"
"Boss Lu, if you look at Weibo and major gaming forums, you'll see that most people are scolding us for being greedy, for being greedy, and for having no moral bottom line..."
"Eh? Da Liu, I told you before, we are not money-grubbers, nor are we greedy. We operate reasonably. Have you forgotten the purpose of our game? We want to create happiness with our heart. How others criticize us is their business."
"No, no... Mr. Lu, this... everyone is scolding us now... Just look first! You are being scolded!" When Big Liu saw Lu Yuan's calm look, he became even more anxious, as if the sky was about to fall.
"Okay, let me take a look..."
Lu Yuan calmly went to Weibo and some game forums.
Then……
His smile froze slightly.
He found that there were all kinds of insults on the Internet...
These are all posts and Weibo posts telling me to get out of the gaming circle.
Then he looked out the window, his eyes were a little complicated, and at the same time, there was a hint of trance in his complexity.
Then, a strange smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The smile is very creepy.
"Mr. Lu...Mr. Lu, did you see it?"
"I saw it. There was indeed a lot of scolding." Lu Yuan turned around and nodded.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Liu felt that the smile on Lu Yuan’s face seemed to become even weirder.
"Mr. Lu, how about we issue an apology statement and say that our programmer changed the program without our knowledge, which led to some..."
"What's the point of apologizing? Besides, your nonsense of making the programmer take the blame needs to be believed... Liu, it's normal to be scolded. In the future, we will be scolded a lot more, don't worry!"
“???” When Liu saw Lu Yuan’s calm expression, he opened his mouth and suddenly had a very bad premonition.
Why doesn't Mr. Lu care about these things at all?
this……
Doesn’t he know how important the platform’s reputation is to the platform?
"Da Liu, let me tell you this, if someone is scolding us, and the scolding is so harsh, it means that we have attention and popularity. It is better to have popularity than no one scolding us or paying attention to us. This is a good thing, do you understand?"
"Mr. Lu, the reputation of our platform..."
"Da Liu, what is your dream? Do you still remember your dream?"
"ah?"
Lu Yuan's sudden question about dreams left Liu stunned for a moment.
Why are you asking this question suddenly?
"Is your dream to make a good game that surpasses Tianmei's "Magic Empire"? Do you...want to make a world-class game?"
"I...I think so!" Da Liu nodded.
"According to the plan I told you about, can you surpass World of Warcraft after you finish it? Is there a chance that it will become a world-class game?"
"able!"
“Does World of Warcraft require a lot of money?”
"This...requires...requires a lot!"
"So in a sense, is this World of Warcraft your dream?"
"Calculate!"
"That's right. We are all people who work hard for our dreams. We are right! And the fees we charge now are just to lay the groundwork for the game World of Warcraft. This is the remuneration we deserve. So do you understand?"
"I..." Da Liu touched his precarious hair. At this moment, he suddenly felt that what Lu Yuan said made sense.
this……
Seems to be right?
“So, is it normal for us to be scolded?”
"Yes, but, Mr. Lu, if our players were to leave, that would not be a good thing..."
"It's inevitable that some people will be lost, but... I still have a backup plan."
"What's the back-up plan?"
"Yesterday, there were several live broadcast rooms of popular game commentators on the 'Remote' live broadcast platform. Brother Chen was preparing to discuss signing with them. I was thinking that if the contract is agreed, I would give them limited edition 'Remote' level 4 membership accounts... Well, limited to five... Ahem, limited to three accounts..."
"Ah? Limited accounts?" Liu was at a loss.
Is this account still limited?
What is this operation?
"Yes, let them commentate on our level-breaking games. In the future, when games like League of Legends come out, we can give them accounts with all heroes and skins. This is the profit sharing treatment for those who sign contracts with our platform..."
"Wait! Mr. Lu, you mean to let them promote our game while explaining it?" Liu was stunned. "At the same time, if the anchors have a level 4 account, they can also promote the privileges of our account? Let more people like our game, this kind of promotional effect..."
"Well, you're right. As long as there is publicity, there will definitely be people who will fall into the trap and become addicted to our games. Moreover, as long as we can launch new games every once in a while, there will always be freshness. Liu, I have a lot of game ideas in my mind. In the future, when smartphones become awesome, there will be a large market for mobile games!" Lu Yuan laughed.
The smile continues to be very weird!
"Oh my God, Mr. Lu, you... couldn't you have been setting a trap from the very beginning? The live streaming platform, was it you who buried... the foreshadowing?" Big Liu suddenly became extremely shocked!
even……
It started to get a little creepy.
He felt that everything was a trap set by Lu Yuan!
future?
If it is really as Mr. Lu said, then...
Oh shit!
this!
Big Liu shuddered.
…
Two days passed.
Lu Yuan did not respond to the criticism from these players and game companies.
I don’t even read Weibo anymore.
Of course, the criticism against "remote" games continues to rise and continues without stopping.
Ma Huaming has been in the spotlight several times and received numerous praises.
At first Ma Huaming was very happy.
He felt that this "remote" game would not be able to continue with so much criticism.
However, after the third day, he suddenly felt something was wrong!
The users of my own Tianxin gaming platform are still being lost...
According to the survey, although "remote" entertainment has been criticized, in fact...
The number of members is still increasing!
Even the number of level 4 members is increasing. There are actually people who are stupid enough to spend so much money to become members!
This moment...
He was a little confused about the situation.
Then he opened Weibo and the gaming forum.
He found that the Internet was still full of criticism, even more harsh than a few days ago, and there were more people supporting him...
So, why is this?
I have so many people supporting me, why is the traffic on my platform decreasing?
He called his assistant and asked about the situation.
After hearing the assistant's explanation, he opened the "remote" live broadcast platform in disbelief.
Then!
I saw several well-known game anchors are now playing remote games such as "Super Mario", "Contra" and "The King of Fighters".
Some even hold the title of VIP4 and are playing the "Metal Slug 1" that will be released next month through "remote" entertainment...
"Thank you for the gift, my friend. Today, I will give you a demo of Metal Slug 1... Although the 'remote' game is a rip-off and all kinds of props cost money, I have to admit that the graphics are pretty good, and there are some interesting little scenes. Um, now... the game begins..."
"Privileges? Of course there are privileges. Actually, you don't have to rush. The game will be out in a month."
"Actually, there's no need to spend so much money. Can't you upgrade to VIP2 for two hundred yuan? VIP4 is a symbol of status, but level 2, well, is also the entry level... Actually, from a certain point of view, 'Remote Game' is still pretty good. Although it charges a fee, at least they have a variety of games, which are much better than those games on the Tianxin platform. And two hundred yuan is actually not that much..."
“…”
“…”
Ma Huaming's eyes widened when he heard the host's voice!
This moment...
He suddenly knew the reason.
Damn it!
this!
Lu Yuan, this bastard, actually bribed all the anchors? Asking them to help advertise his game company?
Grass!
