Chapter 6 recommends that the Anti-Fraud Center include this game!
I don't know how long it took,
Zhang Yuntao rubbed his sore eyes and glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the computer. It was two o'clock in the morning.
He has tried running simulator several times, but his ranking is always stuck around a few hundred and he can't get into the top 100.
“Am I really too kind?”
He talked to himself, with a hint of reluctance and confusion in his tone.
"Or is it that the gameplay of this game is even crazier than I imagined?"
Zhang Yuntao took a sip of tea. It had been a long time since he had played games until this late!
“This game is a true satire of reality!”
Zhang Yuntao continued with emotion,
"This not only allowed me to experience the life of a black-hearted boss, but also allowed me to see the operating logic of many unscrupulous companies."
"This game should be used as a teaching tool in economics classes!"
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuntao immediately thought of a new use for this game!
…
Two days later, on Monday morning, sunlight slanted through the classroom blinds onto the podium.
Zhang Yuntao adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and tapped his fingers lightly on the multimedia console. The projection screen slowly lowered.
Gradually, the topic of his class was revealed: "The Moral Boundaries of the Market Economy: Reflections from Virtuality to Reality."
The students in the audience were still drowsy.
Until Zhang Yuntao opened a game screenshot.
"Class, let's start this lesson with a game. Over the weekend, I researched a game called 'Runaway Simulator.'"
Seeing the screenshots of the game, there was a buzz of discussion in the classroom.
At the back of the classroom, a student pushed a classmate who was lying on the table.
"Look, Haozi! Isn't this the game you played all night long over the weekend? You even cursed the damn planner all night long!"
Zhu Hao, with messy hair, rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up straight in an instant.
I took a look at the screenshot on the projector and it was the familiar interface.
"I didn't expect that the teacher also plays this game!"
On the stage, Zhang Yuntao continued to explain.
"Classmates, today we will use this game as a case study to analyze the operating logic of the market economy."
He switched the PPT, and his tone gradually became serious:
"Students, although 'Running Man Simulator' may seem like an entertainment game, its design actually contains a lot of economic principles.
Let’s start with a few key operations to analyze the corresponding logic of these behaviors in the real market economy.”
"Wage deduction = labor cost reduction
False advertising = information asymmetry marketing
Equipment cashing out = rapid asset realization"
Zhang Yuntao paused and looked around the class:
“…”
"This game not only satirizes the behavior of unethical bosses, but also reminds us that the market economy needs rules and supervision, otherwise greed will devour everything."
Hearing this, Zhu Hao below couldn't help but mutter,
"What Lao Zhang said seems to make sense, but I didn't think about it that much when I was playing!"
Although his voice was low, it was still heard by his deskmate sitting next to him.
The other party poked him and teased,
"Haozi, are you already addicted to Runaway? This game seems interesting. I'll buy one when I get home. What's your ID? Let's add each other as friends."
Zhu Hao rolled his eyes.
"This game doesn't have a friend function. You can download it and play it, but... you'll see my name when you check out!"
At this point, Zhu Hao raised a meaningful smile.
"It seems no one has surpassed his own record so far!"
…
At the same time, in Jingyue Game Company, Lu Ming was staring at the background data and smiling like a child.
In two days, the game downloads have reached five figures!
Runaway Simulator, currently has 13541 downloads
Although this number is not considered a hit in the gaming industry, it is enough for Lu Ming!
At least his 200,000 yuan publicity fee was not wasted!
The most important reason is that there are already a lot of negative reviews in the comment section of this game.
"This game is utter garbage! It teaches people how to be a shady boss and corrupt their employees!"
"The developer's household registration book only has one page, right? They made a game specifically to teach people how to cheat employees and customers, and they even called it a simulator."
"It's too hard to play! I worked so hard to deduct wages, raise prices, and sell equipment, but I'm still ranked after 10,000! Is this game deliberately disgusting?"
"This game is a mirror that reveals the real world! After playing it, everyone looks like a black-hearted boss to me!"
"Ah, I think it's very interesting and has great practical significance!"
"I suggest checking the above post. At the same time, I suggest that the National Anti-Fraud Center include this game!"
"Someone's defense has been breached. I won't say who it is, but how did this game pass review?"
"Check this developer, I think there might be something wrong with his thinking!"
“…”
Lu Ming was delighted when he saw these comments.
He immediately opened the system panel.
【Company Name: Whale Leap Game Company】
[Company capital: 100,000 yuan (the host can withdraw 1% to their personal account each cycle)]
Personal property: 1,765 yuan
【Moral debt value: 10021】
Moral Level: Moral Flaws
The moral debt value has just exceeded 10,000.
This also shows that most people who play this game are cursing it. Lu Ming is very satisfied. This is his original intention!
As long as he continues to maintain this growth rate, he will be able to get 4 times the investment income at the time of settlement!
Four times 500,000 is two million!
As for the revenue of the game, Lu Ming also calculated that with the current number of downloads, the cost could not be recovered at all.
The atmosphere in the office was somewhat depressed.
Lin Xiaoxiao sat at her desk, flipping through the chapter on the company's bankruptcy and liquidation.
She is confident that she can handle it independently!
Developer Zhou Bowen's face was filled with worry.
"Mr. Lu, have you seen the comments section? Our game has been badly criticized..."
"I see, I see!" Lu Ming couldn't help laughing.
Zhou Bowen was stunned for a moment, thinking he had misheard.
Thinking about the current situation of the company and Mr. Lu's contribution to this game,
Zhou Bowen believes that the boss must be under too much pressure!
"Mr. Lu, are you under too much pressure? Do you want to take a break?"
Wang Defa also came over, his face also looking not so good.
As the biggest boss in the company, he felt like he had a lot of work to do.
"Mr. Lu, do you think we should issue an apology? There are too many negative reviews..."
"Yes, Mr. Lu, otherwise we'll lose a lot of players. Downloads are growing very slowly right now. In another day, the advertising time we gave to the Steam platform will expire, and then we'll have no chance at all!"
"Drain"
Lu Ming shook his head.
"No, you underestimate the players. They may curse, but they still play the game. Look at the comments section, the ones who curse the most have played the game for over 20 hours!"
"Also, it's now over 10,000 downloads. Enough is enough!"
"Don't worry, everything is within my expectations!"
After listening to Lu Ming's words, Xiao Zhou Bowen was still a little worried.
How can over 10,000 downloads be enough?
"But...if this continues, will our company be boycotted by players?"
"Impossible!"
"Players are boycotting those boring games. Our game is really popular. Look at the comments section, it's been refreshed again!"
“…”
