Game Designers: You Don’t Understand Charity

  With the launch of Fantasy Island 2.0, the number of online players in the game has increased dramatically that day, and the profit of the mall has also increased bit by bit.

   This undoubtedly made Qian Fang and the others extremely satisfied.

   "Minister, let's see, as long as resources are invested, Rainbow Island can't compare with us at all." In the meeting room, Wang Qiming glanced at Xie Xing with a little complacency.

  The implication is very obvious, and his own policy is correct.

"However, our imitation this time is still too hasty after all, the content of the game part is not perfect, and players may not buy it." Ignoring Wang Qiming's provocation, Xie Xing frowned and looked at the renewed popularity on the screen. Hidden worries.

   "Cut, what is there to buy or not." Wang Qiming had a look of contempt on his face.

   "Those players like to recharge money on **** games like Rainbow Island, so what's the matter with recharging for Fantasy Island, they are so picky."

   "We don't need money for publicity? Don't we need money for new versions?"

   "What we pay, we have to get back from the players!"

   "Do you understand? Xie Xing, team leader~"

  The yin and yang strange words came from the side, Xie Xing sullenly did not reply.

   "Xiao Wang is right, Xie Xing, we are not making games for charity, and we still have to get back the principal." Patting his belly, Qian Fang nodded in agreement.

   "Yes, Minister."

  Seeing that the number of people online has returned to the level at the beginning of the game, Xie Xing wanted to say something, but he finally held back.

   It’s just that where they can’t see, the players who rushed into the game enthusiastically, under the fermentation of time, their enthusiasm is like being poured down by a bucket of ice water.

  On the Internet, there has been a lot of noise.

   "Grass! Did you make a mistake, a resurrection coin 10r, think about money like crazy! Buying one set of equipment and changing another set, is this really necessary?"

   "I don't want to talk about it. It's fine if Rainbow Island has a paid mall. After all, it's a free game. Once you buy out the vr, you can't play it without charging money?!"

   "Not only that, the price of Fantasy Island Mall is many times higher than that of Rainbow Island, and there are too many krypton gold points. You are increasing the price according to the vr game, right?!"

   "The new version copied so many things when it was launched, it is completely inferior to Rainbow Island!"

   "With this money, I might as well go to play Rainbow Island for free!"

  Under Wang Qiming's instructions, the mall has long been overhauled, and the prices of paid items have been raised extremely fiercely.

  In his opinion, the technical content of vr games is more than ten times that of computer games, and it is not too much to increase the price.

  Under such persuasion, players who were already quite resentful quit the pit one after another, and there was a lot of scolding on the Internet.

  Facts have proved that even if it is a penguin, if it wants to cut the player like a leek, it has to weigh the consequences.

  Under the astonished gazes of Qian Fang, Wang Qiming and others, it didn't take long for the number of online users on Fantasy Island to drop dramatically!

   "It's not good, Minister!" A panicked figure rushed into the meeting room, and Xie Xing recognized that it was a member of the service team, and was at a loss at this time.

   "Just now, our service team received a large number of refund calls, and they all demanded refunds!"

   "What did you say?!" Qian Fang turned pale with shock.

  The game industry has also been criticized in this era. After the Penguin family became dominant, the country introduced many strict policies to restrict it.

  For example, vr games must guarantee an unconditional refund period of three months. Of course, there is also a limit of 72 hours of playing time.

  Although it has been more than a month since the Fantasy Island game was launched, most players bought the game at the beginning of its launch.

  But you must know that most of these players who are returning now are players who were snatched by Rainbow Island in the early stage of launch!

  After buying Fantasy Island, I haven’t played it for long. Now even if a month has passed, the playing time fully meets the refund standard.

  The country has strict monitoring on this aspect, even penguins cannot shirk it!

   "What's going on? Why did you suddenly get a refund!" Qian Fang really panicked now.

  Buy out the game, earning the first pot of gold, and then the increased income brought by the subsequent players.

  Fantasy Island before, although the income was far from the original expectation, but it still made a lot of money.

   Much better than other games developed by Penguin during this period.

  But now the collective refund of this group of people, so much investment in Fantasy Island, isn’t it going to be in vain, and it’s a loss to grandma’s family!

   "I don't know!" The man stammered, and immediately glanced at Wang Qiming and Xie Xing on the other side.

   "But judging from the words of a small number of emotional players, it should have something to do with the newly launched version!"

  Heart skipped a beat, and Wang Qiming's eyes widened.

   "How is it possible? The new version that we spent so much effort on making should only be better than the original version, right?!"

   "It is said. It is said that it is because of too many krypton gold points." Touching the cold sweat on his forehead, the man stammered.

   "Players reported that this game needs krypton gold, and it is almost catching up with a new vr game."

   "What's more, say." The man hesitated to speak.

   "What did you say?!" Wang Qiming shouted angrily.

   "They said that charging in paid games is because we are crazy about money!"

  The body trembled violently, and the man obviously knew how serious the problem was now.

   "It's not good, Minister!" At this moment, an employee in the conference room also stood up hastily, and the tablet in his hand kept sliding, shaking for a while.

   "According to the survey, the players who have been online for a long time in Fantasy Island have gone offline significantly. In contrast, the number of online players in Rainbow Island has once again ushered in a wave of new additions!"

   "The number of people online on Rainbow Island has exceeded 10 million!"

   "!!"
