I just want players to save money, but I was made the richest man

Jinpeng Entertainment Company, Director's Office.

Yu Xiao intertwined his fingers, stared at the real-time water flow displayed on the screen in front of him, and knitted his brows.

As a subsidiary of Netcom Game, one of the three major domestic game giants, it is also the weakest among many subsidiaries.

Jinpeng Entertainment actually doesn’t have too many games on hand.

Among them, the most well-known game is undoubtedly the restaurant management simulation game "Store Manager Chong Chong"

The gameplay is also very simple. Players play the Q version of the store manager, recruiting cute girl clerks to serve customers.

After making money, you can unlock more seats and floors in the restaurant, even expand chain stores, select restaurant levels, and a series of other gameplay methods, which are the core of this game.

The most important paid item is the classic and eternal card drawing.

Different cute shop assistants have different restaurant bonuses, and the rare decorations of the table, chair and bench series can also bring bonus points to the restaurant's revenue.

All of these can be included in drawing cards.

Since the restaurant thing is inherently urban and well-known to everyone, plus running a restaurant and watching it continue to upgrade and grow, it can be considered a reasonable pleasure.

The cute shop assistant has good-looking illustrations, high skill bonuses, and sweet voiceovers. Players are excited to be called 'store manager' every time.

Therefore, this game has been ranked at the top of the simulation management category since it was launched last year.

The monthly turnover is about 50 million.

I thought it could continue to operate for at least a year or two before going downhill.

But just this month, a major change suddenly occurred.

A business simulation game called "City Skylines" has emerged.

It is also a simulated operation.

But players can get it completely free, and they can’t even recharge later.

The company uses advertising to obtain revenue, and the profit is not from the players.

In just one week, "Store Manager Chong Chong" was almost defeated.

Can your family run a restaurant?

In other games, you can even fill an entire city with restaurants!

Do you have a cute girl at home?

The character modeling is also exquisite. Players can zoom in and out at any time to observe secretly from a God's perspective.

If your family wants to increase the revenue of the restaurant, it is necessary to recharge the store manager?

They could even burn the restaurant manager in the crematorium to generate electricity for the city, but the manager would only say, "Don't generate electricity here."

But your store manager will only ask players to recharge a little more.

Just go for this last one, just make a decision and kill the game.

Instead of being a small store manager in a restaurant, why not become a perverted mayor and make a name for yourself!

Therefore, the impact is also huge.

The sales volume of "Store Manager Chong Chong" this week has dropped by nearly 30% compared with last week.

And it continues to fall.

In particular, some players who draw cards in "Store Manager" until they are delirious and do not find the character they want will spend a game life that is doomed to failure.

Simply yo-yo.

I don’t want to serve you anymore! I took office and became the mayor!

Many public opinions on the Internet have also begun to compare "Skyline" with "Store Manager", which currently ranks first in the simulation business.

As the project director of the game "Store Manager", Yu Xiao naturally sees it and is anxious in his heart.

If you don't intervene again.

Then it's not just anxious in my heart.

It goes directly to my heart!

"But, how to do it..." Yu Xiao thought deeply.

With rhythm?

no.

The current public opinion is completely positive for "Skyline". It's good that "Store Manager" can avoid the limelight. I'm afraid it will be scolded even worse if it jumps out to set the pace.

Unless the rhythm of the tape is related to Ke Jin’s own black spots as a designer, that might be better.

But as a designer who has only debuted for two months, netizens know very little about him.

The only black spot post that can be found on the Internet is that a netizen picked up a trumpet account on Kejin's NAA forum. The profile picture is a little yellow chicken wearing overalls and a middle-parted comb. It is seriously suspected of mirroring a certain person. Traffic star.

But this black spot is too weak. Let alone kill the game, a 1-0 start is enough.

Maybe it will make players who already liked him like him even more now.

"Damn, this guy is a bit tricky. Why do you have to deal with such a person..." Yu Xiao frowned.

With such a short debut time, it can already threaten Jinpeng Entertainment's signature game.

Teacher Da Ke is simply our old enemy at Jinpeng Entertainment!

"Huh?" Soon, Yu Xiao saw another thing on the Internet.

There's something about a holy war launched by a small group of Kryptonians against Skylines.

After spending half an hour sorting out the information and understanding the causes and consequences, Yu Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up with joy.

This thing can be used to great advantage!

These players are insignificant due to their small base, and their reports are fruitless.

But his identity is different.

As the game director of Jinpeng Entertainment, he can still have a few words with the Game Supervision Bureau.

"Yeah! Let's do it like this!" Yu Xiao thanked these Krypton guys for providing him with a good idea.

And immediately began to collect some reporting materials.

It would be best to report this game directly and remove it from the shelves in one fell swoop!

The free competing products of the same type are gone, so the players who have been lost must continue to come back and be their own leeks?

For what reason to report, Yu Xiao thought carefully about this for a moment.

If we still attack based on the point of "the recharge interface is unreasonable" proposed by those krypton guys, it seems a bit untenable.

After all, "Skylines" doesn't completely violate the rules, it just exploits a loophole, and its influence in mainstream games is not great.

The revenue of the top 100 domestic games has not been affected in any way.

Even if the law really needs to be changed, it will definitely be due to the subsequent influence of this incident. Countless manufacturers have followed suit, leading to the economic collapse of the game market, and the higher authorities will pay attention to it.

"So I have to change my thinking."

Soon, Yu Xiao came up with a killer solution!

The game itself!

There is a huge problem with the gameplay itself!

Look at what Skylines players are discussing online right now.

‘Have you ever calculated how much electricity a city can generate by burning a citizen to death? ’

'After my rigorous calculations, it is most reasonable to build eight toll stations on a stretch of about 100 meters of road, which is just at the limit of the tolerance of unruly people. ’

‘Strategy: When the aging population of the unruly people is too serious, you can consider triggering a tsunami to collect a wave of people. In this way, while retaining the buildings, a large number of people will come in immediately. It is very useful in personal testing. ’

'I don't have friends in reality, and I can't make the world as big as others say. I want to see it. I can only look at the city I built in the game when I have time after work, and the citizens who are busy every day, and... There are all kinds of scenery...'No, no, this has to be crossed out, this doesn't count.

In short, it destroys the three views!

I only need to collect the comments from these netizens and send them to the director of the Supervision Bureau together with the game installation package.

Let the Secretary also read these shocking comments.

Are you still afraid it won't die?

"I'm such a genius!" Yu Xiao, who had a clear idea, hurriedly started making arrangements.

Chang Detai serves as the deputy director of the Gaming Supervision Bureau.

Every day's work is basically fishing.

Either turn on the computer and play chess with netizens, or just listen to some tunes and get off work at that time.

It's not that he doesn't want to be responsible.

Mainly, his current position is awkward.

To put it nicely, Deputy Director of the Supervision Bureau.

It sounds like a department-level official position, majestic.

But let’s put it mildly.

DEPUTY DIRECTOR, GAMING REGULATION bureau.

With the addition of the word "game", the pattern instantly fell apart.

Without it, the main reason is that the game industry is a derivative branch of the art and culture industry, and it is still the last echelon among the arts.

The happiness it brings is virtual spiritual enjoyment.

In a materialistic worldview, it is impossible for any country to promote the status of games too high.

If not for the past two decades, the rapid distortion of the game industry has resulted in the formation of a huge GDP industry chain, which must be controlled by someone.

Chang Detai estimates that his department may not even exist. Basically, it was transferred to the higher level of the regulatory bureau, the China Broadcasting Administration to handle it.

Even if there is such a department now, the scope of its management is limited.

If a game company goes too far and has a very bad impact on society, the Huaguang Bureau will directly intervene.

Not too much, just the kind of people who walk on the edge of the game law and can't control themselves.

After going back and forth, the only thing that can be done is to check whether the tax statements of the game company are reasonable.

Then I would like to warn some game manufacturers who want to step aside.

Then you can start swinging.

Today is also the day Chang Detai prepares to wait until get off work.

But suddenly I received a report email.

Moreover, it was sent directly to your own mailbox, skipping the specialized reviewers of the regulatory department.

It seems that it is not from those small-time players, but from important practitioners in the industry.

I opened the email and glanced at it casually.

Chang Detai's expression suddenly became solemn.

If it is as stated in the email.

Then, this game called "City Skylines" should be removed from the shelves and permanently banned.

But in the spirit of seeking truth from facts.

Chang Detai decided to try it out first before making an evaluation.

After all, he also knows that the current gaming industry is heavily involved, and sometimes there are malicious reports. It is not like he has never accepted such trials before.

First, quickly go through the game process to see if it is really as serious as the report email said.

Then, he starts at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Got it.

Four o'clock, five o'clock, six o'clock, seven o'clock, eight o'clock.

It wasn't until nine o'clock in the evening that my wife called him and asked him why he hadn't come home yet.

Chang Detai finally withdrew his thoughts from the computer as if he had just woken up from a dream, but his eyes staring at the computer screen could not stop trembling slightly.

This game...

It’s so fun!

Up here!

Too over the top!

As a relatively young deputy director, Chang Detai was only in his fourth year of life. Going back 20 years, when he was in college, games on the market had already become popular. He was also young and had played many games. Less games.

But he dared to touch his conscience and say that he had never played a game that made people so addicted!

It is obviously fundamentally different from the popular games on the market today where you spend money to buy values ​​and skins!

He spent the afternoon planning, building, upgrading, and planning some more.

Little by little, I watched my city develop from a small village, step by step.

The feeling of accomplishment in my heart is almost indescribable.

Moreover, I played it for several hours at a stretch.

Chang Detai didn't feel anything that ruined his outlook on life.

This game...

It is clearly a positive game that promotes positive energy!

You see, let the player play a virtual mayor and experience how difficult it is to build a city. Prosperity is created jointly by countless citizens.

The workers here are contributing, the farmers there are working hard, the children in the school are working hard, and the white-collar workers in the workplace are also working hard, and everything is prosperous!

No matter which scene in the game, there is no bad information conveyed...

As for the disgusting comments from netizens attached to the email.

What nonsense!

I have been playing for five or six hours. Can I not know how to play this game?

Malicious competition!

Completely malicious competition!

Chang Detai checked the email again and carefully looked at the domain name from which the email was sent.

"Jinpeng Entertainment, okay, day by day, if your own games are not doing well, you will be jealous of others every day. I will randomly check your games later when I have time to see if there are any potential problems that need to be removed from the shelves and rectified." After thinking to himself, Chang Detai turned his head and looked at the screen again.

He frowned and tapped his fingers on the table, as if he was thinking about something.

"Speaking of which, it seems that the games to be promoted on our official blog this month have not yet been finalized."

As the game regulatory bureau, its official blog recommends an excellent new game every month to encourage new game creators and tell them through actions.

As long as you play the game well, we, the officials, will personally help you gain popularity.

"Then we will give feedback on this game to the director and other colleagues at tomorrow's regular meeting. If everyone thinks there is no problem, we can recommend "City Skylines" on this month's official blog."

————

The next day, the Supervision Bureau held a regular meeting.

After everyone reported on the work at hand, the old director, who was sitting firmly in the center of the conference room, was about to announce the adjournment of the meeting.

Chang Detai, however, walked up quickly holding his laptop with a somewhat excited expression.

After whispering a few words to the director, the director moved his chair to the side, and Chang Detai also connected to the projection screen in the conference room.

Immediately, the opening UI interface of "City Skylines" was displayed on the big screen.

"Everyone, I have a nomination here for the game to be recommended on the official blog this month. You can take a look at this game."

As he spoke, he opened the game interface.

While operating, the gameplay and settings were also explained in detail.

I'm afraid that the old director won't have the patience to listen.

After more than ten minutes, the preliminary gameplay of this game has been revealed.

Many colleagues in the audience also showed some interest in their eyes, and even the old director's face showed some approval for a long time.

You must know that when recommending games at regular meetings, the old director was like an old monk, almost falling asleep.

Unlike today, I actually watched it with concentration for more than ten minutes.

"...That's probably the case. I think this game not only has interesting gameplay and novel ideas, but also promotes positive energy, allowing players to experience the hardships of building a city from scratch. Maybe they can play it when they go out in the future. I will also love the city where I live even more."

"Indeed, there are not many educational games anymore." The old director nodded slightly in agreement.

"Then..." Before Chang Detai could finish his words, he heard a colleague on the side saying doubtfully.

"Deputy Director Chang, I seem to have heard about this game in the past few days. The reputation of the game is okay, but there seems to be something wrong with its recharge interface, which has caused a lot of discussion in the player circle. I really recommend this game. A game?"

Hearing this, the old director also looked over.

"Is this happening?" Chang Detai asked in surprise.

Although he played until very late yesterday, because the game never popped up to induce recharge, he didn't even realize that he needed to recharge to play the game.

"Let me take a look." As he spoke, Chang Detai controlled the mouse and moved to the recharge interface in the upper right corner of the game.

In the entire conference hall, all public officials, including the old director, looked towards the projection screen.

And at the moment Chang Detai pressed the click button.

"My wife is not at home to play secretly tonight!"

An extremely coquettish and seductive voice came out, accompanied by a large naked advertisement preview.

"Bang!!!" Chang Detai slapped the notebook shut almost at the speed of light, and the advertising screen stopped abruptly.

The entire conference room fell into deathly silence.

After a long silence.

Before the old director could speak, Chang Detai wiped his sweaty forehead and gritted his teeth.

"Rectify! This game must be rectified!"

"The game is a good game, but this advertisement is too vulgar, which will inevitably lead to bad imitation by peers."

"I will contact this game company immediately and ask them to remove the advertising interface before making recommendations. What do you think, Director?"

"Well, Xiao Chang, you can figure it out." The old director nodded and acquiesced.

Thanks to Mr. ‘An Explosive Pill’ for the 500 book coins!

Thanks to the boss of ‘Yi Qing Fengyue’ for the 100 book coins!

Thank you two guys for your support!

Bang bang bang! !
