Game designer: I am making games, not charity

At this time, Director Ling's Office of the Great Xia Game Administration Bureau.

Director Ling's face was gloomy. His main job in the authority was to be responsible for content acceptance and content supervision.

As for the publicity work, another department within the Bureau is in charge.

When the preparatory work for the publicity of "Black Myth: Wukong" started, the publicity department made a good promise, because a large amount of publicity expenses had been approved by the superiors, so they would use all of these expenses on publicity work.

Not to say that it must be more publicity than the "Western Cowboy" in the beautiful country, but at least it is at the same level.

But who knew, on the day when the publicity officially started, a moth appeared in the propaganda department.

Several game platforms, live broadcast platforms, and game forums that had agreed to advertise, suddenly all backed down.

In order to start the promotion work as soon as possible, the contract process between the promotion department and them has not yet been completed.

Now they suddenly backtracked, and the game authority couldn't even sue them.

Today, the game authority's announcement has been issued, but the publicity has not kept up with it at all.

This kind of situation naturally made the Great Xia Game Management Bureau lose face.

Moreover, this made Director Ling feel very sorry for Platinum Company!
When I left Platinum Games back then, I patted my chest and promised President Chen of Platinum Games that I would definitely do my best to promote the game and let players all over the world know about the game "Black Myth: Wukong".

But now, the propaganda department has collapsed, and the propaganda work cannot be advanced at all.

Director Ling opened the official website of the Game Management Bureau, and clicked on the pre-order link for "Black Myth: Wukong" under the announcement.

But the number of reservations inside has not even reached 500 million!

On the first day of publicity, it didn't even break through 500 million!

It's just a shame!

Director Ling gritted his teeth and called Director Li of the propaganda department.

All day today, Director Li's phone line was busy, and no one else was in the office. I heard that he ran around looking for someone to negotiate and resolve the publicity accident.

This time, the call finally got through.

Director Ling was so angry that he opened his mouth to scold his mother.

As a result, Director Li on the other end interrupted one step earlier: "Old Ling, don't curse, listen to me."

Director Li's voice was hoarse, and he seemed a little weak.

Hearing the tiredness in his voice, Director Ling took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said word by word: "Up to now, a whole day has passed, and the number of reservations for our game is less than 500 million! Tell me! What are you going to do now!"

Director Li sighed helplessly, and then slowly opened his mouth: "This time it's like this, Pretty Country has put pressure on several large game platforms to refuse to promote our games, otherwise they will be sanctioned .”

Director Ling sneered: "Sanction what? What kind of sanctions? Use their vr game engine? Under Platinum, Dingke has already developed the Kirin 9800!

Tell those game platforms, they are pretty state-owned, and we also have them in Daxia!They are not in the beautiful country!Our Great Xia Kingdom also has them! "

Director Li said quietly: "It's not a game engine, it's economic sanctions!"

Hearing this, Director Ling was stunned for a moment: "What?"

Then Director Li said softly: "You know the importance of the Xingyu Project this time, Lao Ling. Although the countries have not said it publicly, they actually attach great importance to it. Because this time the Xingyu Project involves the future. of energy..."

Speaking of this, Director Li paused, coughed twice, did not go further on this issue, and started talking about the situation in the beautiful country again:

"Pretty Country's official side is also helping their game management bureau, putting pressure on game companies in various countries, not allowing them to help us promote, otherwise they will improve the cash withdrawal procedures for pal payments, and even directly ban them from using pal payments."

Hearing Director Li's words, Director Ling also understood.

Because most foreign game companies, game platforms, or game forums use pal payment as the payment method.

The Game Management Bureau of the Beautiful Country took this as a threat, and those game companies naturally didn't dare to help the Great Xia Country to promote the game anymore.

Director Ling had no choice but to hang up the phone. He was very angry, but there was nothing he could do.

The Pretty Country Game Management Bureau made it clear that they didn't want Platinum to compete fairly with them, so they used this dirty trick.

Once the publicity is not up, when the Xingyu project is over and the data acceptance is really started, how can their "Black Myth: Wukong" be comparable to "Western Cowboy". "

Just when Director Ling felt helpless, suddenly his cell phone vibrated and received a message.

It's from President Chen of Platinum Games!

"Director Ling, is there something wrong with the propaganda?"

Because the increase in the number of reservations was too low, Chen Feng and the others naturally sensed something was wrong.

Seeing Chen Feng's news, Director Ling felt extremely ashamed.

After hesitating for a moment, he still decided to tell Chen Feng the actual situation.

So Director Ling directly dialed Chen Feng's phone number, and explained the situation that Director Li just said on the phone.

After Chen Feng heard it, he was also a little puzzled: "Director Ling, isn't this Xingyu project a game competition? Why does the beautiful country engage in such tricks?"

Director Ling lowered his voice and said, "I can only tell you that this was proposed at the United Nations meeting last year. All countries attach great importance to it, because it is related to the future development of the world. No matter how much it is, I can't disclose it."

Chen Feng didn't ask too many questions, and he wasn't angry at all about this matter. Instead, he said with a smile, "It's okay. Since there is something wrong with the publicity on the Administration's side, let's do it ourselves."

Director Ling frowned and said, "Pretty Country puts pressure on them. Those foreign game companies don't even give face to our Great Xia Game Administration, so how can they help you promote it?"

Chen Feng said: "I don't need them to publicize, I have my own way, and I can guarantee that the publicity will be stronger than Dini's! But, well, with such a large publicity, the financial needs must be... very big"

When he heard that Chen Feng had his own ideas, Director Ling was very pleasantly surprised. He didn't care about money, so he said directly: "You just go to publicize, and the game administration will fully bear the publicity expenses."

On the other end of the phone, Chen Feng didn't seem to expect that Director Ling would agree so readily, so he was silent for a while before saying: "Director Ling, this promotional fee is not cheap, at least 3—"

Before he finished speaking, Director Ling interrupted with a hearty smile: "3 million, yes, you can let it go, our Daxia Game Management Bureau will fully support you! Okay, I'll go first Report the situation to your superiors, and we will talk next time."

After the words fell, Director Ling hung up the phone.

But Chen Feng on the other end was dumbfounded.

When did he say 3000 million?What he was going to say was [-] million...
