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

"What a sin!!"

"Heaven wants to kill me! God really wants to kill me!!"

In the bedroom, Ke Jin was lying on his big bed with his back stretched out, with a look of sadness and sadness on his face.

There is also a secret joy of 94 points.

I cried.

I pretended!

There are still 2 days left before PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is released, and it's time for the mission to be settled.

But the mission failed as early as the previous week.

Don't say that you can barely brush the edges of the mission.

Even Task Brother's skull almost flew off.

As of today, in just 28 days, a total of nearly 4 million copies have been sold! The 2 million copies specified by the system mission were surpassed by a few blocks.

Nearly 400 million funds were collected.

And because the number one player is currently not cooperating with any platform, it means that there is no need to share dividends with any channels.

All 400 million are in his pocket!

Excluding development and promotion costs of nearly 100 million, as well as part of taxes, leased servers, employee salary bonuses, and the company's subsequent expenses and expansion.

After all calculations, there is still a net profit of 200 million left in the pocket.

As a poor guy in my previous life, I had never seen so much money.

Two hundred million, two hundred million!

You can never spend it all in a lifetime!

What?

So I’m a game designer?

Two hundred million dollars thrown into a 3A masterpiece is not enough to fill the gap between your teeth?

That's okay.

Damn it! Fuck you!

I make games just for you to play games.

Why did you destroy all your capital for me?

It’s true that Ready Player One doesn’t raise idle people, right? Even Ready Player One’s fan base is all civilized and military?

But depression is depression.

Ke Jin also noticed the hard work of the players during this period.

Iterative play styles of various genres and endless live broadcast routines.

As long as it can be played for a while, it is a spiritual victory method.

There is also the sad drama "I am not a chicken god". The subtitles in the live broadcast room read "Super Controller. I also know that this game cannot be broadcast, but people's hearts are full of flesh. I will broadcast it for a while. Please." Okay, let me play a small bite, private Marseille'

All kinds of weird, funny and touching stories seemed to make Ke Jin see the figures of the predecessors of Cailiu in the previous life.

It was this uncompromising spirit that made Kejin unable to bear to continue deliberately causing chaos and making things more difficult for them.

So, he watched helplessly as his routine mission was broken.

Forget it, if the mission fails, then it’s a failure.

It doesn't matter, there will be another time if you fail this time.

But this sparkling courage and rare and valuable unity are not often encountered.

The only thing that Ke Jin couldn't figure out was.

Players who did this in previous lives fell at the feet of the evil dragon.

And this world...

Why did the players in this world suddenly become angry?

Logically speaking, no matter how fierce the players are, it should only last for a period of time. As long as they completely ignore it, there will be no movement after a while.

Even a new boss with little business experience knows this.

There's no reason why the top executives of big companies don't understand.

What's more, in the eyes of planners of some large-scale online games in previous lives, players' emotions can be manually controlled.

There are often plans to launch some outrageous activities and cash items.

Their original intention is not for players to accept it.

The main purpose is to arouse the players' emotions and test their bottom line.

After the bottom line was reached, he pretended to withdraw the activity as if nothing had happened, simply apologized, and distributed dozens or hundreds of tokens as compensation rewards. This matter ends here. I hope that all players will not be disrespectful.

Later, when the players are used to raise their KPIs, they will be sacrificed to kill pigs.

Everyone likes compromise.

‘Although the manufacturer raised the price by 100% last time, it made a correction, apologized, and paid compensation. Why are the scumbags holding on to it? This time the increase is only 30%, presumably to take our feelings into consideration. Manufacturers can’t make any money, so what else do you want! ’

At this point, the conflict between manufacturers and players begins.

It will be cleverly transferred into a conflict between players.

Let them make the noise on their own, the manufacturers should make no less money.

You see, all the major game developers in the previous life were very familiar with the game with their eyes closed.

There is no reason why in the Blue Star market, where capital is more rampant, the uprising by the players was successful.

Carry Jin's thoughts before and after.

It feels like there is only one possibility left.

Player success is superficial.

Behind them, there is an old man working hard!

Moreover, it allows Internet news outlets to settle for second best and even post an apology letter urgently.

Maybe big bosses from other larger fields have taken a fancy to their game and directly provided some small assistance.

Finally, the credit is pushed to the superficial players, hiding the merit and fame.

After all, from the perspective of any passerby, the victory of this battle is the result of the joint efforts of the players, and there is nothing wrong with that.

"Grass!!"

Thinking of this possibility, Ke Jin suddenly felt full of pressure.

Although as the saying goes, old men are good, old men have subsistence allowances.

But damn, I don’t need subsistence allowance!

Our Tongzi brother comes with a super subsistence allowance. Once unlocked, a gaming empire with a market value of trillions will rise from the ground! I still lack your three melons and two dates?

Coupled with the lack of games on Blue Star, the demand for good games is even greater.

Not to mention the Fortune 500.

The world's top 50 companies can enter with their eyes closed.

Those who can stand in front of him are probably the world-class companies that have a monopoly on energy resources.

After all the calculations, it is not difficult to find out.

The old man is not nice, but he is very difficult to deal with!

"Brother Tongzi, are you here? I want to discuss something with you."

"See if I can sacrifice the profits of the two games, and then you can give me some special props so that the old man who works secretly will never see the games I make for the rest of his life. Just selectively block them for him!"

Unfortunately, the system was still very cold and ignored Ke Jin.

"Okay, you forced me to do this!" Ke Jin began to mumble.

I wanted to get along with you as an ordinary designer, but I forgot about the rest.

Anyway, next I just want to make a game where the old man behind the game can’t do anything, and the players can’t do it either.

There is no way anyone can stop my vision of completing the ultimate mission, right?

"Well done! Well done to you!"

"To reward you for your heroic actions."

"I decided to play a torture game to let you feel my pain!!"

————

Flowers fly in March and rain falls in April.

In the blink of an eye, it has been a month since PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds was born.

The system's task settlement is belated.

A diamond blind box, 10,000 experience points.

Gone.

The system has now reached level 7, and 50,000 experience points are required to reach level 8.

But the experience points given each time for completing a task seem to have reached the upper limit, and are only given 10,000 points.

In other words, if you want to reach level eight, you still need to make four more games.

The greedy Ke Jin suddenly felt unsatisfied.

But then I thought about how much Tongzi had paid for this family.

I can only make a mental note first.

journal.

April 16th, the weather was cloudy.

The reward given by the system this time is a bit small. You may consider giving it a try next time.

…

After receiving the blind box, Kejin did not choose to open it immediately.

There are many torture games, and the specific choice of which one can better complete the ultimate task depends on market conditions.

Go back to the company for a regular meeting first.

Briefly explain the type of ideas you have to the employees, listen to their opinions, and speak freely. No matter what you say, you will not get angry. The most important thing is not to suppress yourself.

Many good ideas are sometimes not released in the face of identity or status, which in turn loses the meaning of the meeting and discussion.

As soon as I hear it, I always speak freely.

Employees no longer suppress themselves.

The situation suddenly exploded, and discussions started happening.

Kejin sat with his legs crossed, holding a small notebook, writing and drawing in the notebook while listening to the employees' discussions, to see if they could provide him with some inspiration.

"Doing torture again? I remember that the company's early torture game Iwanna seems to have almost no players playing it now... On the contrary, there are more people who like to watch it, which shows that players are actually more likely to prefer this type of game. If you like what you hear and see, you won’t try it yourself, so you should avoid this more extreme type, right?”

Okay, just make it an extreme type like Iwanna. The reason is that Blue Star players are actually not very receptive to torture games. Ke Jin wrote in his notebook.

"But having said that, our company's early popularity was also based on the foundation laid by Iwanna. It is not an exaggeration to call it the cornerstone game that laid the foundation for the company's development. It shows that players may have a soft spot for this kind of torture. indefinite?"

"Don't make trouble, don't talk too much. Look at the market besides Iwanna. Are there any other similar competing products? It's a type that other manufacturers can easily copy. If our company does it, isn't it going to be doomed? When the time comes, players will be able to make it. If we don’t want to spend money on krypton, how can we get back our capital? You don’t want your labor to go in vain.”

OK, let’s make sure to do the torture flow. Ke Jin added the record.

However, even if the torture category is finalized, how should one choose when it comes to recharging krypton gold?

Buyout system?

Purchase in-house?

The benefits of a buyout are very intuitive. It can prevent some players from entering and fundamentally reduce the player payment rate.

But there are also disadvantages.

Both games, Wind Traveler and Jedi, have buyout systems, but they are very popular among players in Blue Star.

What about in-app purchases?

The advantage is that players can enter without paying a penny, and there is no threshold pressure on themselves.

The disadvantages are also obvious.

You are afraid that some krypton gold sows will be thrown into the trap if they disagree with someone worth tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The price of Arknights is so low that now every now and then there is always a krypton guy who spends hundreds of thousands of dollars a day.

Just when Ke Jin was still thinking.

Another employee stood up and said.

"Everyone, please stop arguing. Since Mr. Ke has said that he can speak his mind freely, let me tell you my opinion. It's not that torture games cannot be made. The key question is how to make them more popular among the player base?"

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the employee paused and said, "Let me tell you my thoughts."

"Iwanna was popular before, not because people like to be tortured, but because people like to watch others being tortured. The process is very interesting. If we continue to make torture games according to this idea, players' willingness to pay will definitely be extremely low. "

"So we need to change the way we play. Think about it, can there be a game where torture and krypton gold coexist at the same time?"

"Let players feel pain while feeling happy at the same time?"

“Only when this happiness is continuously conveyed to players will players be willing to pay.”

“To put it simply, we can make the game a little more difficult, and then use in-app purchases so that players can get a certain sense of improvement every time they spend money. In this way, players who don’t top up money will be tortured. , players who deposit money enjoy the fun. There is also torture, and there is also fun.”

The words fell.

The entire conference room was silent.

Many employees looked up at this employee in disbelief.

Players who don’t recharge are tortured, while players who recharge enjoy the fun?

What kind of horrible AIDS statement is this?

If the people at Tengjing Network heard what you said, they might have to kneel down and beg you to join their team...

Ke Jin also slowly closed his notebook at this time, changed to a casual sitting posture, and slightly raised his head to look at the employee. The expression on his face showed no sadness or joy, but he asked in a very calm tone.

"What's your name and which department do you work in?"

Upon hearing this.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

No, no, no.

Even if Mr. Ji said that he can speak freely, your speech is too annoying, I am a turtle.

Our Ready Player One company has come a long way to be where we are today, and even "Jedi" can be revived and prosperous.

It all depends on the support of die-hard players.

That's good for you. When you're full, you hit the cook. The other player gave us "Jedi" a hand with your front foot. Are you going to start cutting the player's leeks with your back foot?

Mr. Ke was the first to refuse!

"Ah...I, uh...Mr. Ke, my name is...Yu Fuqi...I am the new member of Ce...the planning team..." The employee just finished speaking.

Other employees in the planning team also lowered their heads and remained silent.

Afraid of being engraved, I always play "Nine Clans Lianliankan"

But the next moment.

However, Ke Jin strode up and walked to Yu Fuqi's side, patted his shoulder gently and said with a smile.

"If I remember correctly, the planning team currently doesn't have a team leader, right? Director Gou used to hold multiple hats, and now it's time to take off some of the burden."

"I announce that Yu Fuqi has been promoted to leader of the planning team!"

"I will send you the new game plan next week. This week you can touch it and relax. Okay, let's break up the meeting."

After saying that, Ke Jin turned around and strode away without giving any explanation, leaving only a handsome back.

All the employees in the entire conference room seemed to be collectively petrified.

Everyone was stunned, staring at each other.

If it weren't for the rudeness of the occasion, I'm afraid the entire conference room would be filled with "Huh?"

Even Yu Fuqi himself was stunned.

This...what's going on?

Could it be that the idea I mentioned touched Mr. Ke’s heart?
