In the Internet age, who still makes traditional games?

The comment section of the latest update from the official "Frost and Snow Project" account has been flooded with players' petitions for the Immortal Server gameplay.

After receiving Xu Meng's approval, Song Zhicheng replied to the top-voted comment:

[Feedback received, the company is urgently holding a meeting to discuss.]

He originally thought the players would be very dissatisfied and demand a more definite commitment.

But surprisingly, the players were unexpectedly calm.

Some players even turned around and advised those who were dissatisfied:

"I don't think Zhumeng would do this kind of gameplay. It would be too unwise to put a lot of effort into a mode that half the users can't play."

"The main thing is that it probably doesn't make money, right? Speaking of which, the entire Dragon Palace Treasure mode doesn't make money, which is quite outrageous."

......

The players started chatting among themselves, analyzing whether the [Dragon Palace Treasure] mode actually made money.

Song Zhicheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to take a sip of water, his phone suddenly vibrated.

The caller had a note that was completely unexpected to him—

[Softel Game Box]

He answered the phone in confusion.

-----

General Manager's Office.

After chatting with Jiang Chengji, Xu Meng felt that he had done a lot of work, so he and Xiao Meng relaxed for a while.

Their way of relaxing, besides playing the Fruit Ninja game together, was to browse various news and gossip according to the keywords on the memo.

All the way to the end, there was a piece of overseas news that had just been released not long ago—

[Softel Spokesperson Publicly Declares: To meet the ever-changing business needs, Softel Corporation officially closes the DEI department]

"So fast?" Xu Meng was surprised.

Yesterday he saw the "rumor" published by *Business Insider*, and today the rumor was directly confirmed.

How efficient!

He quickly browsed through the news summary and clicked on the video attached to the news.

In the video, the Softel spokesperson said to the camera with a blank expression:

"Softel's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion has not changed."

"Our focus on diversity and inclusion is unwavering. Even if the DEI department is closed, we will continue to adhere to it, prioritize accountability mechanisms, and continue to pay attention to this work."

"......"

Xu Meng looked at it with a head full of question marks.

Your attitude towards DEI remains unchanged, your commitment remains unchanged, and you will continue to pay attention.

But the specific approach is to close the department that does this?

Isn't this just lying with your eyes open?

Just as he was wondering, Song Zhicheng ran over to knock on the door excitedly again: "Boss, good news!"

"Come in, come in, what's the good news?"

"The person from Softel Game Box who contacted us before called me again." Song Zhicheng looked excited, "They hope to continue discussing the previous cooperation."

"To express their apology for the previous twists and turns, they are also willing to provide more technical personnel to assist us in completing the console porting work."

"In addition, they also invited us to participate in the Cologne International Game Show next month."

"Softel Game Box will play the 'Frost and Snow Project' promotional video on the main booth and will also provide us with an independent booth!"

"Are you sure you haven't been deceived?" Xu Meng asked.

"?"

Song Zhicheng probably didn't expect Xu Meng to have this reaction, and suspiciously took out his phone and checked the call history again.

"That's right, it's the person who talked about cooperation before."

"That's good." Xu Meng nodded.

Looking at the Softel spokesperson in the news who was making promises, he felt that this matter was really absurd.

The DEI department was just closed over there, and the spokesperson was still saying that adhering to diversity was unshakable.

Over here, the company's game box department abandoned the previous DEI department's decision and began to vigorously win over "Frost and Snow Project."

"The world is really wonderful."

"Then we?" Song Zhicheng was still waiting for Xu Meng's reply.

"Of course, agree." Xu Meng nodded, "Why not take a shortcut if there is one?"

"But they have a request." Song Zhicheng added.

"What request?"

"If we log in to the game box, we can no longer log in to the Xinyou Game Station."

"Console exclusive agreement?" Xu Meng thought about it, which was not a problem.

They only regarded Xinyou Game Station as an opponent, and they didn't even mention the Rentendo game console, so Zhumeng's emulator was naturally not included.

If Zhumeng has other game platforms in the future, then it will not be included.

"No problem, agree."

Song Zhicheng was about to leave when Xu Meng asked another question: "They gave us a booth, and there is no requirement that we can only promote 'Frost and Snow Project', right?"

Song Zhicheng was stunned when he heard this.

"No."

"They don't know we have a new project yet."

"But... the new project is too late, right?"

Although Song Zhicheng's main energy was on "Frost and Snow Project", he also paid attention to the new project.

As far as he knew, the program team was either developing "Frost and Snow Project" or fixing bugs.

The new project only had a small team of no more than 20 people doing the initial work.

They are only responsible to the boss, and outsiders do not know their work content. But no matter what, what can a small team of 20 people do?

"Of course, it's too late." Xu Meng shook his head.

"But if we hurry up, we can make a miniature Demo to give everyone a feel for the new technology."

"If all goes well, this will be an excellent opportunity for promotion."

There were more question marks in Song Zhicheng's mind.

New technology?

What new technology?

But Xu Meng was anxious and was urging him to quickly implement the cooperation.

As soon as Song Zhicheng left, Xu Meng quickly sent a message to Zhang Yang: "Is it convenient to answer the phone?"

"If it's urging the emulator progress, then it's not convenient."

Xu Meng laughed immediately and decisively made a call.

Zhang Yang also answered immediately: "Speak, what's the matter."

"What else could it be? Emulator, Young Master Zhang, how's the progress?"

----- He thought, if it's in time, it's best to make the somatosensory suit as well.

Of course, the technology of "touching a virtual wife" must not be carried out at a foreign game exhibition first.

Even if it's just holding hands, it must be publicly and initially experienced in China first.

Otherwise, the players will definitely explode.

"It's started, what, are you in a hurry?"

"Yeah, I want to use it for the Cologne International Game Show next month, can we make it in time?"

"It can definitely be done, but I'm a little worried that your stuff will be intercepted by customs."

"Huh?" Xu Meng was stunned, "Customs?"

"Yes!!!"

Zhang Yang's desire to complain exploded:

"You have all these things, guns and cannons, and you haven't done any certification, and then your registered new company - [Nerve Roaming], right? It's still an empty shell company."

"Don't you think something is wrong?"

"You want to ship it abroad right away?"

"If I were customs, I would have to intercept you!"
