"Boss, I want to resign."

"Boss, me too."

In Mickford's game development department, several developers came to the department head's office together to submit their resignations.

These few people are the elite backbone of the development department, with good game development capabilities, and have participated in the development of many high-quality games.

The department head frowned: "Why? Are you dissatisfied with the salary?"

"No, it's not for this reason, it's for other reasons."

Their expressions are slightly unnatural.

But soon they became firm again.

"Other reasons? I think...well, I think I get it."

The head of the department wanted to ask first, but soon he seemed to realize something.

Then he sighed, put away the resignations of these employees and said: "This still needs to go through some procedures, so don't leave in a hurry, okay?"

"We will all go through the resignation process according to the regulations, we just don't want to work in this company anymore."

The department head comforted the employees softly, then watched the employees leave.

Then the head of the department took these resignation letters and left the office.

As soon as he walked out of the office, he noticed that some people in the office were poking their heads out to look at him, as if observing his next actions.

But when he came out and looked at the workstation, they immediately retreated to their respective workstations and were busy with work that didn't seem to exist.

Lately... all game development has been put on hold.

Originally, Mickford's game development department still had about three or four games under development.

But morale has been really low lately.

The main reason for this downturn comes from some rumors from the outside world.

Originally, it was only circulated among the public, but gradually more and more people talked about it, and Mickford has become a laughing stock in the eyes of many people.

All of this is because of a game where word of mouth is slowly being reversed.

infinite world.

This is a video game that broke away from Mickford and turned to Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

The head of the department regretted it a little.

If he had been tougher at the beginning and stood by the developer and insisted on continuing to develop the infinite world together, it might have been a good result.

But now there is no if.

He walked with heavy steps to Myron Keyes's office.

"Please come in."

Hearing a knock on the door, Myron Keith let people in, while he continued to focus on liaising with suppliers.

"I said, the price of this chip must be reduced by another ten percent."

"This is absolutely impossible, Mr. Myron Case. Now we are selling at a loss. If it is lowered further, I cannot explain to our shareholders."

Myron Keith shook his head: "That's not what I need to care about. This chip is dispensable for us, but it is a very rare order for you, so you have to lower the price enough for me to accept it. Will buy, but you can rest assured that when the sales volume reaches a certain level, you will make a profit later, and it will still be a huge profit.”

"Honestly, I can't leave uncertainty to the future."

Myron Keith also said simply: "Then think about it, let's not talk about it, I have other business to do, and several suppliers are contacting me."

"I……"

Myron Keith hung up the supplier's call very simply, and then looked at the head of the game development department who walked in.

"What's the matter? What's your business?" Myron Keith asked.

"Boss, more than a dozen game development employees are going to submit their resignations together today."

"Huh? A dozen? Why are there so many?"

Myron Case was a little surprised.

"Well, haven't you seen any news about video games lately?"

"I don't pay much attention to this. Video games only need to make money. What are you doing watching the news? Could it be that there are trends about Youxing Electronic Entertainment in the news?"

"No, it's not the trend of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, but it does have something to do with Youxing Electronic Entertainment."

"What exactly is it?" Myron Keith became more patient when he heard that it was related to Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

"It's because we had a game that was put into their group before and became their work."

"Oh, I seem to remember, this game...is...what is it called?"

"It's called the infinite world."

"Yes, it is an infinite world, so what happened to this infinite world?"

"The sales of this game are very good now, and the latest sales data has sold more than one million copies."

"Millions of copies? Are you kidding me? That game can sell another million copies? Hasn't the commercial value of that game been completely drained?"

"Well, this game is continuously updating the game, adding a lot of content to the original empty game, making the game more fun, and then players are willing to buy and play."

"It's still possible to do this?"

Myron Keith was a little surprised.

"Then these updates are charged?"

"No, it's not charged, it's all updated for free."

"Then the price of the game has increased?"

"No, on the contrary, it is on sale at a discount, the price is more than 70% lower than the original price, and now it is only selling for 7 dollars."

"That's it?"

Myron Keyes felt a little amused.

"Isn't this losing money and making money?"

"This... seems to be the case now."

"What's the point of caring about it? Even if you sell another million copies, two million copies for $7 is only 14 million sales. The cost of subsequent free updates is more than that?"

"This...we can't find out."

"Youxing Electronic Entertainment is really incomprehensible. Oh, by the way, you just said that more than a dozen of our people resigned. Is this related to Infinite World?"

"Yes, because there have been a lot of gossip on the Internet recently, all of which are mocking us."

"Just mock it, it's no big deal."

Myron Keys didn't care.

What he cares more about is his main products, smartphones, personal PCs, and game console product lines are all in second place.

It doesn't matter that video games and consoles are trashed, as long as they make money.

Myron Keith has a very paranoid insistence on what he pursues, but he will completely ignore or even look down on what he is not interested in.

Even now, it hasn't completely changed his disdainful attitude towards games.

Video games are just tools for him to make money.

As long as the tools play their due role, don't worry about the rest.

"The key point is that this taunt made our employees a little bit defensive, and they don't want to stay in our company anymore."

After speaking, the head of the department put all the dozen resignation letters on Myron Case's desk.
