Chapter 23 Trash Games
In fact, players would think so.
It is also normal.
Different from the domestic public opinion environment.
The online games here are regarded as a high-tech industry with a very good reputation.
Thanks to the strict anti-addiction system and the lifting of the game ban in the past few years.
The number of players has increased rapidly.
But there is not much serious negative news.
Overall, it is still a promising blue ocean industry.
At present, major online game companies still have to be shameless. Most games are charged on a monthly or hourly basis. Although some companies have discovered that the revenue generated by props charging is much more than the point card system and the monthly card system...
But generally speaking, everyone has not completely lost their shame. At most, they can make some small props revenue under the point card charging system, and they are still in the marginal trial stage.
In terms of publicity and promotion, everyone also has to be shameless. After all, it is a high-tech industry.
Of course, it is impossible to do the big supermarket to charge a certain amount of money for a lottery.
Every game either promotes its good graphics, good gameplay, and high playability. It is to publicize that its game is endorsed by so-and-so.
As for the lottery?
Do you think it is a shopping mall selling goods!
This is a high-tech industry, be serious.
Even if it is really a lottery, it is a prop in the game.
This is more stylish.
The current environment is like this.
Players are used to it, and even a little arrogant.
It is also in this environment.
Suddenly there is a game that says you can draw a car by leveling up...
Players feel that the style is not right.
It pulls players back from high-tech industries to department stores.
And without knowing the conditions of the lottery.
It is no wonder that they say this is a plan of the urban and rural club.
Li Yu is one of the people who cursed.
He is studying in Pengda, just a freshman.
Because of a friend's recruitment, he played "Fantasy OL", and happened to be in the popular area "Golden Years" that was shut down.
He doesn't like this game.
But occasionally he goes to brush dungeons with friends and classmates, and chats, and thinks it is interesting and can kill time.
In addition, he has recharged a little money and his level is quite high.
He is reluctant to stop playing all of a sudden.
But today.
He really wants to quit the game.
"Zhao! What the hell is this? The new version is shut down, and there is no lottery. It's also to please the rich players! You think this game is not dying fast enough, right?"
In the dormitory.
Li Yu looked at the email announcement in the game and felt his blood pressure rise.
He didn't follow the procedure, didn't look at the new version update content, and directly started to criticize.
Because of this stupid lottery, he had a preconceived idea that the planner was messing around.
Car?
This must have recharge conditions.
Just like those big supermarkets.
To please the krypton gold players so much, do the props with enhanced attributes have to be updated?
Then will ordinary players like them still play it!
"Yeah, it's too tacky." The classmate sitting next to Li Yu cursed with a common hatred.
"What a rubbish planner!"
Li Yu was still a little upset after cursing, and said directly: "I don't want to play it anymore, it's a rubbish game."
"Okay."
His classmates also had no objection: "Find another game, but this rubbish game is said to be starting over, what exactly has been updated?"
"Who knows, anyway, it's either adding props charges or making random changes!"
Li Yu said unhappily, and then casually clicked on the link attached to the email announcement.
The browser page popped up.
The update announcement was just some polite words at first.
Thank you for the players' support and so on.
He didn't want to read it, so he just scrolled down.
Scrolled down.
Scrolled down...
"???"
Li Yu had been scrolling down for more than ten seconds.
He hadn't reached the end.
This thing...
what exactly has been updated? ? ?
The update announcement alone is so long.
And just when he was confused.
The classmate next to him suddenly exclaimed in shock:
"Oh my god! Free game! No money! And there are no conditions for the lottery, all players who have reached level 60 and are online can participate! In addition, all the props that directly enhance attributes have been deleted and converted into gold coins! This... is awesome!"
Li Yu: "...???"
What?
...
Compared to Li Yu's criticism of the game because of the preconceived lottery event,
Peng Qiang's mentality exploded.
He is a typical local tyrant player.
Although his family does not have a mine.
But his family has five quarries...
He doesn't like socializing, smoking and drinking, and usually likes to play some games.
He started playing Fantasy OL because he saw the promotion (the initial publicity of the game's public beta was very strong).
Then he got into it.
Although this game is not fun,
every time he single-handedly kills a team with his money, and then people around him shout that he is awesome, he can always gain simple happiness.
So he usually recharges money very diligently. He
bought all the props that can enhance attributes.
Anyway, it is not expensive.
And he also saw the server suspension update this time.
As for the lottery,
he didn't have much feeling, but felt that this was quite to his liking.
It can also give benefits to players who pay.
This planner is good.
So he just glanced at the lottery page and went to read the update announcement.
He planned to see what props the game officials have released that can directly enhance attributes.
Then he was ready to go to the border and fight with other local tyrants in the server when the server was reopened.
Then.
Then he saw the line that canceled all props that enhance attributes.
His mentality collapsed.
"Zhao! I recharged so much!"
Peng Qiang threw the mouse on the table with force, as if he was betrayed, and was furious: "You actually deleted it directly! What do I need that broken gold coin for? What a stupid planner!"
"Lottery... There are no conditions for the lottery!"
"What are you doing???"
Peng Qiang's eyes went black.
His blood pressure rose rapidly.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. The more he thought about it, the more he felt upset. He picked up the mouse again and posted a message on the game forum.
[I recharged nearly 100,000, and you deleted all the props without saying a word. What does this mean? What do you mean by starting over? Is this how you start over? Then I'm making a promise now! Either change it back or I won't play it! And I can guarantee that if this game is like this, it's not far from death! ]
...
The game "Fantasy OL".
The moment the announcement was issued.
It instantly caused a wave.
That stupid lottery.
That slogan of a permanent free green game.
The decision to delete all the props that directly enhance attributes.
All these factors came together to make this game a little out of the circle.
Although it is not a good reputation.
Now related forums are all criticizing it.
Or mocking it.
Occasionally, those who praise it also have a little bit of a sense of embarrassment.
After all, compared with other online games, this approach is really too wild.
Players naturally resist such a big change.
This situation is of course very stressful for the game project team.
The main members of the project team gathered in the conference room.
Except for Lin Yao and Mu Wanqing, everyone was like a bereaved family.
Even Mu Wanqing was actually quite depressed. Although she remained calm, she didn't say anything.
"What's wrong with you? Didn't I expect this situation?"
Finally.
It was Lin Yao who stood up.
She couldn't let this emotion continue: "I have already made it clear when the announcement was issued that if we want to change this game, we need to delete those cancerous enhancement props, and this will inevitably cause some backlash. This is an inevitable result, and I thought you were prepared."
"This... I didn't expect the backlash to be so intense."
Zhong Xiu glanced around and said something, then hesitated for a moment and whispered: "How about we slow down?"
"No."
Lin Yao shook her head and said firmly: "It's better to suffer a short pain than a long pain. Even if we lose some players, it's worth it. The game has no future if it continues like this. The only thing I can't give in is this. I won't back down at all. Please believe me."
As she spoke, she
looked at Mu Wanqing.
Although she said this to Zhong Xiu, it was Mu Wanqing who made the final decision.
"...Okay, I understand."
Zhong Xiu looked at Lin Yao, who had no fear on her face. Although he wanted to say "Huh, woman" in his heart, he didn't do it in the end.
Because he put himself in her shoes.
He felt that he couldn't still firmly believe in himself in this situation.
What's more, the other party was a girl.
"None of us will back down."
Mu Wanqing pursed her lips, and without hesitation, she chose to support Lin Yao.
She said so.
Others who wanted to persuade Lin Yao to slow down also shut up.
Lin Yao turned and smiled at Mu Wanqing, then looked back at the small conference room, and continued: "As for the lottery, it is a bit tacky... but our goal has been achieved. Otherwise, relying solely on the two things of free games to delete and add attribute props would not have the current effect."
"With limited publicity channels and the new version of the game not officially launched, we can get such popularity, which is already a success. Although it is not a good reputation, at least they pay attention to our game! Isn't this our goal? Why do you have such an expression?"
Lin Yao looked around and asked softly.
Everyone else lowered their heads when they heard it.
Avoiding her gaze.
In fact, they are just panicking...
Players resist change.
They actually resist too.
Lin Yao suddenly smiled:
"So, everyone, don't be like this. I am confident in the final result. Even if I fail in the end, I am willing to take all the responsibilities. Even if I am scolded in the end, it will be me as the planner. You don't have to worry about public opinion. Just work hard to get the new version online." Everyone
was slightly startled when they saw the smile on Lin Yao's face. They didn't know if they were infected. They relaxed a little and nodded. Lin Yao sighed secretly. Everything that could be done was done. She didn't want to be scolded. But the starting point of the game is really too low. Online games are really troublesome... "Senior sister, Manager Mu, something big has happened!" Zhu Nianqiao suddenly broke in and interrupted Lin Yao's thoughts. She turned around and looked at Zhu Nianqiao at the door with a puzzled expression. Zhu Nianqiao said a little panicked: "Someone is coming outside. They claim to be the director and internal control..." Lin Yao: "..." (End of this chapter)
