The free-to-play model of Super Smash Bros. has swept the entire gaming industry, causing countless game developers to cry wolf.
It's not that no one has tried making free-to-play games before, but they all failed under the pressure of the major publishers.
But this time, the game company called Blue Sky has pulled off a game-winning move.
This pyramid scheme-like model has countless freeloaders cheering it on, saying it's a game for ordinary people.
It also opened a new door for game companies, showing them that games could be made in this way.
Others may not understand the underlying principles, but those who make games can see the secrets at a glance.
It seems this game company called Blue Sky has a mastermind behind it!
During a break on set, Huang Yiyi was chatting away on her phone with Li Shishi.
Li Tian happened to be passing by, and when he saw the phone screen, he was also completely dumbfounded.
It’s over!
He doesn't know if other people's children have become internet addicts, but his own child definitely has.
Damn, what goes around comes around, and no one escapes the wrath of Heaven!
However, Li Tian didn't start scolding indiscriminately like other parents.
"What do you want to play?" Li Tian asked with a smile.
Seeing her father approach, Huang Yiyi looked up and said, "Quick, Dad, give me your phone!"
Li Tian did not refuse and handed over his phone.
Huang Yiyi took the phone, sent a link directly, invited new users, and then downloaded the game by scanning the QR code.
"Dad, you don't know? This game called 'Super Smash Bros.' can make money without spending any money!"
Li Tian understood. These two girls weren't internet addicts; they were definitely freeloaders!
"Oh, really? So how much money have you made?"
Huang Yiyi looked at Li Tiandao triumphantly: "I've earned almost a hundred in less than a week."
"Oh! That's good. But do you need the hundred?" Li Tian asked, puzzled.
He knew very well that his daughter had quite a lot of assets now. Huang Yin had been saving all the money he had earned from filming over the past few years as her dowry!
"It's not a matter of whether we need it or not; it's free money, wouldn't it be a loss not to take it!"
After hearing Huang Yiyi's words, Li Tian could guess the true thoughts of the other Canglan people.
As for being killed a few times by a rich player in the game, what does that matter?
As long as they can make money, these freeloaders don't care about these things.
"Alright! Whatever makes you happy!" Li Tian was also helpless. He hadn't expected this game to have such a devastating impact.
Just then, a staff member saw Huang Yiyi playing "Super Smash Bros." and immediately asked, "What level are you? What's your combat power?"
Li Tian watched the group having a heated discussion and turned to Huang Yin beside him, saying, "I didn't expect this game to be so destructive?"
Huang Yin naturally noticed that everyone around him was playing this game.
"What, are you regretting hiring Meng Wei as your spokesperson now?"
Li Tian laughed and shook his head, saying, "The game has only just begun. These people haven't realized the pay-to-win trap yet, and they all think they've made a great deal. Just you wait! It won't be long before this game is trending on social media for all the wrong reasons!"
"If that's the case, why are you still doing it?" Huang Yin asked, puzzled.
"What do you mean I have to do it? What does this have to do with me? We've all been ruined by that Meng Wei endorsement; he's the one who tricked us!"
Upon hearing Li Tian's words, Huang Yin instantly understood Li Tian's shrewd maneuver.
This is a classic case of wanting to make money but not wanting to take responsibility!
Li Tian made all the money, while Meng Wei got all the blame. What a clever scheme!
Seeing that no one else was around, Li Tian said, "A free game called 'Audition Online' is under development. It will probably be released for public testing around the time 'Super Smash Bros.' gets criticized and trending on social media. Are you interested in endorsing it?"
Huang Yin immediately thought of the Star River Clothing's style and said, "You mean...?"
"Yes, you're right. So, are you interested?" Li Tian continued to ask.
"What about the endorsement fee? Are you still trying to get it for free?" Huang Yin instantly saw through Li Tian's scheme.
"Why are we being so clear about what's between us? What's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine."
Huang Yin stared wide-eyed at Li Tian in disbelief, and said, "How could you say such a thing? Aren't you ashamed? Is this something a human being could say?"
Li Tian didn't take it to heart and advised, "Reputation is more important than money. We need to broaden our horizons!"
"Hehehe, are you trying to make me work for you for free again? Dream on!"
Huang Yin felt that things couldn't continue like this; even brothers should keep clear accounts!
"Look at you! When have I ever asked you for royalties? You heartless bastard! I've been so good to you!"
When Huang Yin heard this, he thought it made sense.
Whether it's "Later", "Legend" sung on the Spring Festival Gala, or "At Least I Still Have You" performed on the Lantern Festival Gala, they are all classics among classics.
Li Tian did not ask me for copyright fees for these three songs, so it's not unreasonable for him to endorse them.
"Look how good I've been to you, and you still don't appreciate it! Oh, my heart!"
"Alright, alright, I'll make it up to you tonight!"
Huang Yin also felt that he had gone a bit too far just now. It's just an endorsement, right? It doesn't take much effort.
"That's more like it!" Li Tian gave Huang Yin a knowing look.
As Huang Yin watched Li Tian's departing figure, he felt increasingly uneasy.
He certainly didn't ask me for royalties, but I didn't ask him for child support either!
