Chapter 297 Backstab by Anti-Fans

Players on the Nobug platform are indeed not very willing to consume.

In other words, they are just not willing to spend money on the Nobug platform, but if they switch to other platforms such as Steam, they are still willing to spend money.

In response to this, Chen Ba and Yang Dong also thought of many solutions.

For example, learn from Ebao and give away a game every once in a while to awaken players' desire to consume.

Or they may frequently organize various joint activities, such as participating in the [Summer Game Party] event on the Nobug platform, where you can receive a specific "Need for Speed" racing car, etc.

But unfortunately...

These practices are just a drop in the bucket. The Nobug platform, which has tens of millions of players, has an actual conversion rate of less than 20%!

When Chen Ba narrated this tragic fact to everyone present, as expected, everyone turned their eyes to the person in charge of Tencent.

"That's understandable..."

Perhaps out of sympathy, the Tencent executive’s tone was filled with an inexplicable sadness as he said, “Wegame’s conversion rate is not high either, let alone 20%, it’s not even 10%.”

You guys are still the worst!

Chen Ba thought about it and realized that the players’ ridicule of the Nobug platform was correct. This thing was really just a large-scale Wegame.

But having said that.

Although it is a large-scale Wegame, and although it is the "official launcher" for games such as "Forza Motors", "Cultivation Fantasy", "Star Emperor" and "Global Evolution", it is an indisputable fact that the platform has such a large number of users.

Domestic games want to go overseas, and as a member of the domestic game industry, it’s nothing for him to contribute.

The sales conversion rate is low, that's all. It's just like the platforms with high conversion rates, such as Steam, where domestic games are selling very well...

“Let’s put it this way. Games that want to enter the Nobug platform need to go through an audit. If they pass the audit, we will put them on the shelves and promote them globally as appropriate!”

What are the audit standards? Everyone looked at Chen Ba expectantly, wanting to know what his so-called audit standards were.

Chen Ba did not keep the secret and took the initiative to explain: "The main purpose is to prevent low-quality games from polluting the platform's game library. If you are confident in your games, such as "My Time at Portia" and "Dyson Sphere Program", we will definitely promote them overseas."

To put it bluntly, don't take advantage of loopholes!

Chen Ba opened this loophole with the aim of supporting some small and medium-sized stand-alone games, rather than giving everyone an opportunity to take advantage of it and move all the crappy games to the Nobug platform.

If it is a good game, even if he doesn't get paid, Chen Ba will work hard to help them promote it in overseas markets.

Don't ask, the only thing you need to know is that he hopes to see more games like "My Time at Portia", "Ring of Elysium" and "Dyson Sphere Program", and it's not too much for him to use the Nobug platform to help.

Of course, the premise is that the game is good! I won’t mention the lousy ones, as such games may not even pass Chen Ba’s review, and even if they do, they will not receive any preferential treatment on the Nobug platform.

"Sure, no problem!"

Chen Ba's proposal was not opposed by everyone, and some people even agreed with it.

Most of their games are sold on PC distribution platforms such as Steam. However, sales on Steam are only for domestic players.

The Steam platform rarely promotes domestic games in other regions, and even if it does, they are only a minority.

Although the Nobug platform is not as large as Steam, it is our own platform after all, and it also has tens of millions of foreign players. By putting games on the shelves here and with the help of Chen Ba, some good games will be more likely to attract overseas players.

This was the main reason why everyone invited Chen Ba to a banquet, hoping that he would be flexible.

Don’t think that there is nothing else in domestic games except “one sword for 999” and “first deposit of 6 yuan to get a divine beast”.

Map cannon is wrong! It is undeniable that many domestic game practitioners are engaged in this kind of one-hit 999 game, but there are still some people who insist on making excellent and fun games.

Including the QQ Group and Tencent, which are despised online and have terrible reputations, there are actually many such projects within their own companies.

Yes, you heard it right! Chen Ba was also surprised at first. He didn't expect that there would be such a game development project in the two major companies, Pig and Goose, that "does not seek to make money but only seeks quality".

But then he thought again, the scale of the pig factory and the goose factory is too large.

With so many departments and businesses, there are ultimately too many opportunities to make money, and there is room for many trials and errors, so we will appropriately support similar "high-quality" projects.

This also slightly changed his stereotype of these two big companies.

“In fact, it has changed a long time ago!”

Chen Ba secretly said to Huang Qing: "Take Tencent as an example. The really disgusting parts are the game development, operation and marketing departments. But the game investment department, I think, is pretty good. It has supported many game studios that can't afford to eat."

Back then, Tianba Studio almost became one of the recipients of "Geely Relief".

Although this is all in the past, and they dared to do so because they were too rich, and the title of Rich Goose was not undeserved, Chen Ba still felt grateful to Goose Factory.

"Geely does..."

Huang Qing said with a smile: "A true angel in the investment community, his reputation is much better than Ali Qiandu's."

Of course, this is limited to the investment sector.

Chen Ba thinks so too. The investment department is indeed nice, but the other departments of Tencent...that's another matter!

Pigs and geese are both large enterprises, truly large enterprises, with too large a scale and size, so a business group, a group company, or a department should be discussed separately, and we cannot just talk about it in isolation.

The meal lasted until nine o'clock in the evening.

Although the average price of the dishes was a bit high, the chef's cooking skills were indeed quite good. Chen Ba was very satisfied with the meal and waved goodbye to everyone.

Only after he walked out of the alley did he realize something was wrong.

He just drank some wine, and now he is walking unsteadily. He definitely can't drive in this state, but Huang Qing who came with him also drank!

What to do? Brother Qing was easy to deal with, he just took a taxi back. But Chen Ba couldn't leave, because if he took a taxi back, he would have to pick up the car the next day, how troublesome? "You deserve it, you make so much money but you don't hire a full-time driver!"

"Am I worthy of hiring a driver?"

After complaining to Old Chen on the other end of the phone, Chen Ba asked tentatively, "Dad, are you busy now? If not, come and pick me up?"

"Sure!"

Chen Ba had not expected Lao Chen to agree, and he was ready to find a designated driver, but he did not expect Lao Chen to agree so immediately, leaving him with nothing to do.

"Send me your location and I'll come pick you up right away!"

“Okay, okay…”

No matter what, it would be more appropriate to let Lao Chen come and pick him up than to hire a designated driver, so Chen Ba didn't think too much about it.

Not long after, a taxi stopped in front of Chen Ba.

He thought it was Lao Chen who arrived, so he walked forward to greet him, but it turned out to be Wang Ya who opened the car door and got out.

"Why is it you?"

"Didn't you ask me to come?"

After the two finished speaking, they fell into silence, especially Chen Ba, whose face turned black.

Damn Old Chen, is it possible for you to act as a middleman and make a profit from the price difference?

Forget it, I’m here anyway.

Chen Ba sighed, handed over his car keys and said, "The car is over there, go drive it out first. By the way, can you drive my car?"

"meeting!"

Wang Ya was definitely lying. Looking at the way she took a long time to back out of the parking space, it was clear that her driving skills might be even less advanced than expected.

"Come on, take me back."

Chen Ba was really sleepy and just wanted to go home immediately, take a hot bath and then lie down on the bed to sleep. After all, he had just finished a social event and was the most tired.

On the way back, it started to drizzle and neither of the two people in the car spoke.

The atmosphere was very awkward for a while.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Fortunately, Chen Ba was not embarrassed for too long, because at the next traffic light, the female driver scraped an electric bike next to her.

“Ah, this…”

Chen Ba actually wanted to say that the right turn lane was so wide, so he could just follow the electric bike and pass slowly. Why overtake it? However, since he had already been hit, it was useless to say these things. He should get off the car and check if the guy on the electric bike was injured! "Sorry!"

After Chen Ba lifted up the other party's car, he checked and found that the other party was not injured. He quickly apologized and explained the situation: "My girlfriend doesn't usually drive. Today I was drunk and she came to pick me up, so I was a little nervous..."

"It's okay, it's okay!"

As if recognizing Chen Ba, the young man said excitedly: "Hey, Brother Ba, is it really you?"

"It's me!"

Chen Ba smiled awkwardly. He didn't expect that he could be recognized. Could this guy also play the Tianba game? "Family, I was hit by Brother Ba. I'm so lucky. Friends in the comment section, please analyze for me, is Land Rover suitable for me or Bentley better?"

Chen Ba: “…”

Please, don't be so anxious to take a short video when you just got hit, okay? And can you not be so explicit and straightforward when you say this? It's really a black man!

Because it was a crossroads, Chen Ba did not want to affect traffic, so he directed Wang Ya to park the car far away, and then discussed with the young man how to deal with the aftermath.

Chen Ba offered to send the young man to the hospital for a check-up, but the young man insisted that there was nothing wrong and he didn't need to go, and that just taking a photo with him would be OK.

Let’s take a group photo!

This is not the first time that Chen Ba has encountered such business needs, but he still emphasized: "Photos are photos, don't Photoshop them randomly!"

"Don't worry, I'll upload it to Tianba Community to show off..."

After taking the photo with Chen Ba, the young man looked at Wang Ya who came over with a strange look on his face, and quietly pressed the shutter button for the second time.

"Let's go, it's okay."

Chen Ba waved to Wang Ya who came over, indicating that the problem had been solved satisfactorily.

First of all, he took a photo with the young man, and secondly, he handed the young man one thousand yuan, which was all the cash he had on him.

The young man was very satisfied with this way of handling the matter. After all, he was not hurt. Everyone was driving very slowly when turning, and he just accidentally scratched it.

If we have to say, Chen Ba suffered the most serious losses. After all, the right front fender and the passenger door were scratched, and repainting would probably not be cheap, at least not for a thousand yuan.

After saying goodbye to this black fan guy, Chen Ba and Wang Ya set off again. This time Wang Ya drove more carefully and kept the speed below 40 miles per hour.

Chen Ba didn't rush her. It was better to drive slowly in the city. After all, there were many cars and visibility was poor at night.

Just playing with the phone.

But as soon as he opened his phone and clicked into the Tianba Community, he saw the post that the young man had just posted.

[Shocking! A man and his girlfriend did this to their fans late at night...]

Good, good, good! You must be playing Tianba games, otherwise it wouldn’t be so abstract. This UC shocking title can’t be thought of without a 10-year brain thrombosis.

It's sent so quickly, right?

Chen Ba didn't expect that the young man had just said he was going to post in the community, and he had just left and he actually posted it. This speed was too fast.

There's not much to say about the content of the post. It's just that this young man posted a photo of himself and Brother Ba and explained what happened during the "chance encounter".

This is not the point! Although everyone is envious of meeting Brother Ba and taking a photo together, isn't the real focus of this post the second picture? Brother Ba has a girlfriend? Walter sent! Who is this woman? Why haven't I seen her in the list of people published by Tianba Studio before? "Huh?"

When Chen Ba saw the photo taken from a candid angle, he panicked for a moment. He didn't expect the young man to be so dirty. Not only did he take a photo of him, he even secretly took a photo of Wang Ya.

It’s bad, now the entire Tianba community knows about it.

Just after Chen Ba refreshed the page, he saw that there were already hundreds of comments and replies under this post, and the number of comments and replies increased by dozens with every refresh.

The number of likes and reposts also soared rapidly. Chen Ba didn't have a computer at the moment, so he couldn't log in to the super administrator account to delete the post.

"Um... you were photographed just now! The photo was even uploaded to the Internet. I'm sorry, I'll delete it when I get home!"

Chen Ba told Wang Ya about this and said that he would delete the post using the super administrator account when he returned.

"It's okay, just take the photo."

Wang Ya was stunned at first, then shook her head and sighed: "He has taken photos, what's the point of deleting the post? Can you delete the photo album in his phone?"

"So it doesn't matter, just send it out!"

That is indeed the truth.

He could delete the post, but he couldn't delete the photo, which would be leaked sooner or later. Thinking of this, Chen Ba gave up the idea of ​​deleting the post.

"But he not only posted the photos, he also spread rumors, saying that you are my girlfriend..."

"He didn't spread rumors! Didn't you say that yourself? He just told the truth, how could he spread rumors?"

Chen Ba: “…”

It seems to be true! When he got off the car, he didn't expect the other party to recognize him, so he just said something casually, but he didn't expect the young man to recognize him.

Now, all the players in the Tianba community know that he is no longer single and he has a girlfriend!

This is something to be celebrated, but the problem is... he was just talking nonsense, how can you take it seriously?
