Game designer: I am making games, not charity

Disney Games Inc.

In the conference room, Mr. Ma looked at the online data on the staff report with a gloomy face.

After Mr. Ma made a series of changes, the data of "Western Cowboy" was originally improved to a certain extent.

At the peak, the number of online players in the game even exceeded 20. It can be said that his changes have completely pulled back the "Western Cowboy" that was about to fall into the abyss.

Moreover, with the content update of "Western Cowboy", players have discovered the sincerity of Dini, and the number of players has been on the rise, and there is a chance that it will even exceed 30.

If the sales are good and the number of online players can be maintained, this game may really become the best game in the beautiful country this year, and even surpass "Black Myth: Wukong" in the acceptance of Xingyu Project.

But now, after some operations by Emma, ​​the game data has directly dropped to the bottom and returned to the original number of less than [-] online players.

How could Mr. Ma not be angry.

He put the data report file back on the table, and said in a cold voice: "Miss Emma, ​​now that it's like this, how are you going to explain it to the president and shareholders?"

Emma looked helpless.

She also didn't expect to make it like this, stealing the gimmick of Platinum Games' first gunfight game, among other things, at least the popularity of her own game will definitely increase. The popularity of the game has increased, and the sales of the game and online The number of people should also be able to increase.

But who knew, the sales didn't increase at all, and the game online data dropped across the board.

As for the reason, Emma couldn't figure it out either.

She frowned and thought for a moment, before she said softly: "President Ma, do you think there is something wrong with the gimmick of the first shootout game? Players are unwilling to accept it."

Mr. Ma shook his head resolutely: "It's not that players don't want to accept the gimmick of gunfight games, but that players can't accept that we copied Platinum Company! Miss Emma! As I said before, the positioning of our game is a The luxury game.

Since it is a luxury game, the most important thing is that the value of the game must only increase, not decrease! "

Speaking of this, Mr. Ma paused, and looked at the executives of other planning departments in the conference room, his eyes were full of disappointment: "So, when Miss Emma copied Platinum's game themes and types, players naturally You will feel that our game is not working!"

After hearing Mr. Ma's words, the surrounding executives suddenly realized. No wonder, after Mr. Ma launched a series of changes such as price increases, the sales of "The Western Cowboy" have increased to a certain extent.

After all, this game has been released for a month, and the price has not decreased, but has been increasing. From a certain point of view, buying this game is like investing. Even if you don’t play, the value of this account is always rising .

What's more, there are so many celebrities and Internet celebrities playing.

But now, after what Emma and Andre have done, those Platinum fans and other game designers have scolded on the Internet, so who would think that "Western Cowboy" will increase in value in the future?

What's more serious, in order to grab the gimmick of this gunfight game, Emma even came up with a free one-hour event!

This is also the main reason for reducing sales and affecting the number of people online in the game.

The game sells for such a high price, which is to make players have a novelty-hunting mentality, and try to play first when you buy it.

As long as they don't think it's particularly bad, they generally won't choose to refund. After all, with the free account activation code activity launched by Mr. Ma, these players will feel that as long as they play to the next level 10 manor, all the money spent before will be lost. can take it back.

Now, Emma has come up with such a free trial event, players have played this game for an hour without spending money, and if you want them to spend money to buy this game from you, then there is really a possibility, it is you The game is really excellent.

But is "Cowboy" really that good?
President Ma doesn't want to say anything more to Emma and the others, a bunch of brainless pig teammates!

He stood up directly, and said coldly: "Miss Emma, ​​the shareholders, you have to give an explanation. In addition, we will not participate in the "Western Cowboy" project in the future, so you can take care of yourself."

After finishing speaking, Mr. Ma turned and left.

Emma sat blankly on the seat, watching President Ma leave, and she knew in her heart that this time it was all over.

With such a low number of online gamers, there is no way to explain it to the Game Management Bureau of the Beautiful Country.

Of course, what's more serious is, how should she explain to the board of directors?
After thinking for a moment, Emma's eyes turned cold, and now she can only find someone to take the blame.

The gun battle content map of "Western Cowboy" was modified by Andre, so let's start with Andre!
……

After experiencing the data Waterloo, Dini Game Company urgently canceled the previous announcement about the gun battle, and changed the original open world into a small hunting map.

The content of the game has also been changed back to the way it was before.

Meanwhile, Emma made the announcement on Twitter.

[Because the director of the company, Andre, is suspected of damaging the company's reputation and caused huge losses to the company due to his personal mistakes in work, he is now dismissed. 】

Emma's tweet was very vague, but intentionally or unintentionally, it pushed the plagiarism of Platinum's gunfight gimmick to Andre's head.

As the vice president of Disney Games, Emma's Twitter account already has millions of followers.

At this time, after she posted this tweet, it immediately attracted a large group of comments from fans.

"Andre? This name is so familiar. Is it the one who made "Warcraft Battlefield" before?"

"It seems to be him. This guy doesn't respect copyright at all. Such a person should have been fired a long time ago."

"This Andrei rejected Platinum before and joined Dini Corporation. His "Warcraft Battlefield" was modified from "Warcraft". After changing a new game, he cooperated with Dini Corporation. Others eat from the pot of Platinum Company, and even smash the pot after eating, I always feel that this person is disgusting."

Faced with the messages from these fans on the Internet, Emma did not respond.

But no matter what changes she and Dini made, the game of "Western Cowboy" is half dead.
