Game designer: I am making games, not charity

This time the popularity of the finals suddenly dropped so much.

It is inseparable from the fact that the goose factory spent such a high price before, and the water army came to the heat.

As early as before the Legend of the Warriors game was officially launched, Goose Factory had been hyping it up.

Using his own network strength, he dredged up various channels.

The momentum was so great that even Zhuchang and some other game companies had to avoid the front for the time being.

But these means of propaganda, in the end, are nothing more than superficial appearances.

With a light touch, it will naturally fall apart.

And this reason is naturally not the main reason.

The main reason is undoubtedly that the Legend of Warriors game has fundamental problems.

That is, the more it gets to the later stage, the less interesting it is to play.

The games are long and hardcore.

The master's operation makes it impossible for those inexperienced players to understand.

Let alone viewing, even the threshold for watching the game is not known to be much higher than Dungeon and Warriors.

And it's still 3D, so it's not suitable for e-sports competitions by nature.

The superposition of various factors is the reason why the legend of the warrior can have such a high popularity.

The reason why this competition can achieve the current results already needs to be attributed to the astonishing capital strength of the Goose Factory!
If you just change to another company to run the Legend of Warriors.

It may still be regarded as a hot computer online game.

But there will definitely not be such momentum and enthusiasm as it is now.

However, the legend of the Warriors and the results achieved in the competition are obviously not what Goose Factory wants.

Mr. Ma's plan is to make this game a global competition!

But now even the domestic finals have encountered Waterloo all at once.

By the time the game was halfway through, the number of viewers had even dropped to 5,000 million.

Even the number of spectators in the other 12 countries has gradually dropped.

All of a sudden, the whole goose factory panicked.

They didn't even know, under such circumstances, should they continue to hold the subsequent international competitions!
……

"No more competitions? Do you know what you are talking about!"

In the conference room, Mr. Ma knocked on the table angrily, with such a loud voice that all the senior executives shrank their necks involuntarily.

The domestic competition, which lasted for three full days, has come to an end.

The one who won the championship here in Daxia Kingdom is naturally the one that Goose Factory promised to give me a gun.

The other 12 countries have also decided three players for the championship and sub-season.

Always ready for the final international final.

But at this time, a huge problem was in front of them.

Is this international final really going to continue?

You must know that when the domestic finals ended, the Great Xia Kingdom, which had the largest number of spectators, only had more than 2300 million people left.

In some other smaller countries, the player base was not large. In the end, some countries even had only a few thousand people watching the game.

If people from all 13 countries are added together, there are not enough 5,000 million people.

Offline audiences are also dwindling.

On the first day, the offline arenas were basically full.

But on the 2nd and 3rd day, the offline audience also became less and less.

In the end, not even half of the auditorium was full.

Countless scalpers complained on Weibo.

This time they spent a lot of money to grab tickets to the game.

It was originally planned to make a lot of money.

In the end, none of the tickets could be sold.

Everything fell into their hands.

The underpants that made the scalpers lose money are all gone.

They really couldn't understand how the legend of the warrior who was about to become popular all over the world was still in good condition.

All of a sudden it's so rubbish!
All in all, although the attention and enthusiasm of the game is still not low.

The discussion on the Internet is also very lively.

The champions and runners-up of each country that were determined before have also been on Weibo's hot searches at this time.

Many players are waiting for this international final.

In any case, this is a game to win glory for the country, and players will naturally pay a little attention.

But inside the goose factory, there was a sudden lack of confidence.

They are very aware of the cost of hosting an international competition of such a large scale.

If this game can't achieve the benefits they expected.

Then this loss is too big!
It is precisely because of this that these executives came together to hold this meeting with Mr. Ma.

"If we continue to operate, we can only continue to increase losses, but if we stop losses in time now, we can still save some things."

"That's right, Mr. Ma, the price we paid for the Legend of Warriors game is really too high recently, and the shareholders are already very reluctant!"

Executives are persuading.

During this time, everyone in the company is under a lot of pressure, and everyone is working overtime.

But the end result was not so good.

It also made executives slightly discouraged.

But Mr. Ma obviously didn't think so.

He rested his hands on the desk in the conference room, and glanced at the executives in the company one by one.

"The international finals must continue, and it must be held according to the original specifications!" Mr. Ma said.

He is very clear that if this competition is not held, the reputation of the goose factory will plummet!
If the game is not held successfully, then they will lose more at most.

But if they change their minds midway, it will be basically impossible for them to hold such a competition in the future after their credibility is completely lost.

"We have to take a long-term view, and now that we have lost a lot, we don't need this little money."

Mr. Ma looked at the executives in the company, suppressed the anger in his heart forcibly, and explained patiently.

"Now Platinum is determined and wants to follow the path of free games. If we don't follow their lead, the market will definitely be occupied by them.

But the profitability of free games is still very limited in my opinion.

The biggest ability of free games is to attract the most users, but because the game is free, only a small part of these users will create enough revenue for us.

So there are only two ways for free games to get enough revenue.

One is to manipulate the game, let the game serve those players who will generate income for us, in simple terms, the game is made for them.

The other free players are attracted to become part of the game content of these heavy krypton players.

But this is not an absolutely healthy method, and it is also a very bad reputation method.

Therefore, we must explore another path on this basis.

I think Mr. Chen of Platinum Gold should have the same idea as me. The reason why he wants to hold a game competition is precisely because of this.

Since you can't make money from players, find a way to use these players to make money from other places.

We had better not give up when we are not sure that we can't go on this road.

Because the first path...is to be taken only when there is no other way. "

What Mr. Ma said made everyone in the company speechless.

Some of them understood it, some didn't.

But everyone can hear Mr. Ma's firmness from these words.

I also know that this competition, which seems to have no good results, will continue to be held.

And with Mr. Ma's uncompromising attitude in the company, Mr. Ma is so firm in deciding what to do.

They also cannot be changed in any way.

The meeting ended and the executives left one by one.

Mr. Ma was left alone in the conference room, sighing deeply.

If Chen Feng was in this conference room just now, he heard what President Ma said.

You will definitely admire the middle-aged man in front of you.

Because what Mr. Ma said just now is indeed free games, the two most profitable paths.

To be able to realize so many things in such a short period of time.

It is also enough to prove that Mr. Ma's ingenuity is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Without Chen Feng, with Mr. Ma's ability and intelligence, he would definitely be able to make a fortune in this world.

But unfortunately, he was facing Chen Feng.

Chen Feng came to this parallel world with the complete experience of the previous life on Earth, without taking any detours.

And there is a system on his body, so that he hardly needs to do any research and development work.

It is completely possible to use small things to fight big things, and tensely stimulate...

In short.

When Mr. Ma faced Chen Feng, the only advantage he had was his strong network and basic capital strength.

If Mr. Ma paid enough attention to Chen Feng at the beginning.

Maybe there will be a good fight between the two.

But now it's too late.

When Chen Feng took out "Dungeon and Warriors" and accumulated it to this point.

When the "League of Legends" can be redeemed at any time.

The defeat of Mr. Ma and the goose factory is almost certain...
