Game designer: I am making games, not charity

At this time, Chenghui Group.

Li Chengguo was sitting in the office. On his computer, "Legend" was hanging up.

After playing "Legend" for a year, Li Chengguo has long been familiar with the various game contents in it.

Although the game is still being updated.

But except for the siege battle inside.

Li Chengguo has lost much interest in other game mechanics.

After all, no matter how fun a game is, if you play it every day and keep playing, there will always be a day when you get tired of it.

So on weekdays, Li Chengguo basically hangs up "Legend".

When there was a siege battle, I went online to chat with old friends in the guild.

Of course, the professional game branch that Li Chengguo established in his company has always been very profitable, so this is why Li Chengguo still insists on playing "Legend" every day.

It's a good meal!
However, recently, because the equipment market of "Legend" has stabilized, the profits of Chenghui Group's game studio have also begun to decline.

So Li Chengguo is also thinking about whether to switch to another game.

Games have a lifespan. Many games have a lifespan of only one to two years or even less than a year. "Legend" will undoubtedly last longer.

But because of the gameplay, there is definitely no way to guarantee the income.

Just as Li Chengguo was thinking about these things, suddenly, a message popped up on his computer.

"Mr. Chen, the platinum game company you follow, has released the latest scarf!"

"President Chen issued a scarf again?"

"Could it be that Platinum Corporation released some new game?"

Li Chengguo's eyes lit up, and he immediately clicked in.

Because of "Legend", Li Chengguo has been paying attention to Chen Feng, and even hopes to have the opportunity to cooperate with Platinum in the future to expand the Internet industry.

But since "Legend".

None of the other new games released by Platinum moved Li Chengguo's heart.

I have never found any opportunities for cooperation.

This also made Li Chengguo a little helpless.

At this time, seeing Chen Feng releasing a new scarf, he naturally clicked in quickly.

[The world's first free computer game: "Dungeon and Fighter" will be launched soon, another masterpiece of online games from Platinum Games!Nine major occupations, passionate fighting, and the magnificent epic of Arad Continent are waiting for you to compose! "Dungeon and Warriors" is a permanently free horizontal fighting computer online game!As the president of Platinum Games, I promise that this game will be free forever!Unlimited play!Until the day we close down! 】

"..."

Li Chengguo was stunned for a moment.

Then I froze again.

After sitting blankly in front of the computer for seven or eight seconds, he came back to his senses, sat up, and almost pressed his entire face to the screen.

He carefully checked the bib account first, and was sure that it was Chen Feng, the President of Platinum Games Company, Mr. Chen himself.

Then look at the time when the bib was released.

Exactly 1 minute ago!
Then, at the slowest speed in my life, I read the content of the bib again.

Li Chengguo can swear that in his life, he has not even read the biggest contract so slowly.

Read it word for word.

Li Chengguo let out a long breath.

It's not fake...

After all, he is a successful businessman.

And he was also the first Shacheng City Lord of "Legend".

There is still a statue of him in Shacheng.

After such a buffer of time, Li Chengguo has almost completely calmed down!

He has already started to think about what Chen Feng's scarf represents...

Forever free game...

Free online games forever...

A free game like Legend, even more fun than Legend...

forever free...

Li Chengguo couldn't guess what Chen Feng was thinking.

But even he who hadn't had much exposure to games before "Legend".

Everyone can feel how earth-shattering the four words "forever free" are!

This is something that has never appeared in this world!

It will undoubtedly attract a lot of attention.

But it will also make everyone think about a question, that is... how to make money?

How to make money in a completely free game?

It's impossible to make a free gimmick, but in fact it still charges, right?
Shouldn't be...

So how do you make money like this?
It's impossible to really use the game for charity, right?
Even if Li Chengguo thought about it, he couldn't come up with an answer.

This... President Chen of Platinum Company seems to be playing a big game of chess...

Li Chengguo didn't know what kind of game it was, and he didn't even listen to the promotional photos and music.

But this time.

The four big characters "forever free" have already made him extremely interested in this game.

As a player, he wants to see what the world's first permanently free game looks like.

And as a businessman, he wanted to see... how Platinum Corporation plans to use a free game to make money!
No matter what, he has decided that after this "Dungeon and Warriors" comes out, he must play it himself!

Li Chengguo restrained his divergent thinking.

Turn your attention to the promotional video again.

With just one glance, I was attracted by the ghost swordsman played by Zhang Jiafei above.

"Fuck... this is really handsome!"

In an instant, Li Chengguo became more interested in this game.

After appreciating all the materials released by Chen Feng.

Li Chengguo clicked on the scarf and looked at the comment section.

Ever since he knew that this was a free game, Li Chengguo was certain that Chen Feng's scarf would not be peaceful.

But what he didn't expect was.

At this point, there are already nearly a thousand comments in the comment area!

You know, it took less than 5 minutes for this scarf to be released!
Seeing this data, even if Li Chengguo had expected it, he would be stupid.

Mr. Chen posted a scarf before, but there must not be so many comments!
But at the same time, he also knew that this meant that his prediction was correct...

There may be only one reason that can attract so many people's comments!
That's Free Games! ! !
Li Chengguo continued to look down, and the first comment that came into his eyes was also the most popular one, with more than 700 likes:
"??????????????"

The second article also received more than 600 likes:
"???????????????"

Article [-]:
"?????????????"

The previous comments were almost a series of question marks, as if they were comparing who had more question marks.

But these question marks one after another also fully proved how shocked and... confused the netizens felt after seeing this scarf!
Although the Internet these days is basically full of advertisements for Goose Factory's "Legend of the Warrior".

But that's because of Goose Factory's strong publicity.

No matter how many ads you have, even if I can see them a hundred times a day, I'm just not interested, so I don't click into them.

Is the head office all right?

But the scarf that Chen Feng released...is the real thing, the game is awesome!
Free game!

These four words, in this world, are too explosive!
In this world where free games have never appeared before, what is the concept of a free game suddenly appearing?
It’s like you go to a movie theater to watch a movie one day, and suddenly a staff member tells you that you can watch it for free in our movie theater without spending money!

It is equivalent to one day when you are on TV, and suddenly a platform says, we don’t need to be a member here, and we can watch it for free without advertisements!
It's like you enter an Internet cafe one day, and suddenly the network administrator tells you that you can play whatever you want when you enter our Internet cafe, and you don't need to spend a penny for the Internet fee!

And these...are permanent!

For this world, it has long been formed for players who have to spend money to play games.

As soon as the word "free" came out, it was like throwing a sun into the sky in the dark night.

Naturally, they caught their attention in an instant!

It sparked a discussion among all.

Even if you have never played games, as long as you know that games cost money.

They will also be attracted by these two words!

And when these people saw the news, their first reaction would undoubtedly be:
is this real?
Can there be such a good thing?

It's impossible, right?
And these questions turned into question marks one by one, filling the entire comment area.

Li Chengguo scrolled down for a long time before he saw some relatively normal comments.

"is this real?"

"Brothers, am I right?"

"Oh my god! This tm... is completely a path I never imagined!"

"Damn it, it's free directly? Playing so hard?"

"Impossible! Really free? How do you make money?"

"Before I saw the goose factory's aggressive publicity, I left a message to Mr. Chen. Unexpectedly, Mr. Chen actually made a big deal in one go!"

"The big is the big... But brother, don't you think there is a problem with this? If it is free, there is no money to make! Is the company going to close down?"

"Mr. Chen...has he really started doing charity?"

"Calm down, Mr. Chen, we are joking to call you a philanthropist in the game industry, why do you take it seriously! This thing is not free!"

"That's right, Mr. Chen, it's still too late to delete, so hurry up and accept your magical powers!"

……

Looking at the comments of these netizens, Li Chengguo couldn't help laughing.

He could even imagine the shocked and anxious expressions on the faces of these netizens when they commented.

It was absolutely the same as him who just saw the news.

Li Chengguo, who usually doesn't know how to read comments on the scarf, just continued to scroll down.

And it's fun to watch.

It wasn't until he flipped through dozens of comments, and when they reached a hundred, he suddenly discovered that there were a few discordant comments popping up!

"Haha? Are you really thinking of yourself as a philanthropist? Out of your mind?"

"Yo? Are you afraid? Scared by the goose factory? Free games? Can you think of this kind of thing? Something wrong with your brain?"

"Platinum Game Company is really a joke of Nima. Was it knocked out by our Big Goose Factory? The game will be free forever? Get out, dogs won't believe it."

"One thing to say, this Platinum company is obviously disrupting the market, free games? Is it a gimmick again? I think this free game must be fake!"

"Damn it, labor and management really don't understand it now. It's fine if the computer game comes out, and now all the free games are out? The game circle is so introverted? No matter what you think, anyway, I think it should be fake!"

"That's right, Mr. Chen of the Platinum Company is not stupid, can he still do charity?"

Seeing these not very pleasant comments, Li Chengguo couldn't help feeling angry for a while.

Do these netizens not understand human language?
Mr. Chen has already said that it is free forever, unless the company closes down and closes the server, you say you don't play it, you say you don't believe it?

Isn't this a brain disease?

Li Chengguo was originally a somewhat chivalrous person.

"Legend" has accompanied him for such a long time, and it has also given him some love for "Legend", for Bai Jin, and for people like Chen Feng.

At this time, I saw these netizens spraying Chen Feng.

It's like in "Legend", someone sprayed his guild members.

He couldn't help but clicked on the comments, typed on the keyboard word by word, and began to reply to those netizens awkwardly.

"Mr. Chen wrote it clearly, the game is free! Free forever, unlimited play! Can you take a serious look at it?
It's not a typo, and people have repeated it so many times. The president of such a big company posted a Weibo. Now tens of thousands of people may have seen it. How can it be fake?
What are you people yelling at here? ! "

Naturally, Platinum's two years of time cannot be wasted. The previous few games have already accumulated a large number of fans for it.

Under these disharmonious comments, there are naturally more people like Li Chengguo who speak for Platinum President Chen.

"Please, those illiterate and blind people who are not as good as pigs and dogs, take a good look at the promotional slogan issued by Mr. Chen. It has already been said, the game is free! If you like to play, get out if you don't play! Don't spout here!"

"Platinum produced must be a high-quality product. I believe in Platinum Company, and I also believe in Mr. Chen, so I must play this free game!"

"Compared to Goose Factory, Mr. Chen of Platinum Company is the real conscience, okay? I think those trolls are all fools who were cut by Goose Factory. When they see that they can play games without spending money, they feel upset." That's it, what a fool of Nima!"

Naturally, it is impossible for those disharmonious comments to be let go after being sprayed like this.

As a result, the entire comment area began to fight again.

But at the same time, there are also some sensible netizens who have serious discussions.

"I've played a lot of platinum games, but I really can't understand this free game. I don't make any money... The quality of this game... I'm really worried."

"I think so too. Free is indeed a good gimmick, but it's impossible for normal people to really make a free game, right? This game has a high probability of thunder and rain..."

"It can be seen that Mr. Chen of Platinum Company has a big heart. He engages in computer games and mobile games, all of which he wants to expand the industry. Up to now, he has even launched free games. This is undoubtedly a game in the game industry Earthquakes, however, are always so unconventional, will Baijin Chen always go astray, and finally get trapped in his own cocoon, completely smashing a good hand of cards?"
