A real cheat was blocked, and the game industry was rectified with a backhand

"What is the boss doing? The deadline is coming soon."

"The boss is playing games."

"Play games? What games?"

"World of Warcraft."

"what?!"

The center of discussion at this time is Moreno.

Just logged off from the gaming cabin and sat back in my office chair.

Many people are wondering what the current state of the head of Baofeng Entertainment is like.

Are you gloomy-faced and bad-tempered all day long?

If Moreno could hear these speculations, he would definitely say that you are overthinking it.

I haven't changed much except that I've lost some weight!

At this moment, he had just come down from the game cabin and sat in his office chair, humming his favorite tune and browsing the hot news on the Internet.

Soon.

There was a knock on the door and Bonois, the director of the Cosmic Rift Project, walked in with a serious expression.

"sit."

Sitting across the table, Bonois took a deep breath and began to report the data, while Moreno still stared at the computer screen.

"Boss, the monthly active users of the Cosmic Rift project continue to decline, from 2130 million in the month when the expansion was released to 720 million now."

"During this period, we launched new versions, new dungeons, and new activities, but there was no boost to monthly active users."

"Monthly card sales have also been declining sharply along with the monthly activity of players. Last month's 35% off event only maintained the downward trend, but it continued to plummet after the event ended."

"Now many servers have problems such as difficulty in forming a team and economic system collapse."

"Faced with the above situation, here are my decisions. First, announce a price reduction for the monthly pass."

"Pfft."

Suddenly, a laugh interrupted the report.

Bonois' eyes widened, looking at his boss in front of him as if he had seen a ghost.

No, what are you doing?!

You are the leader and I am just the director.

I'm putting so much effort into reporting here, and you're laughing?

What are you laughing at?

What kind of vulgar jokes are more important than work?

Perhaps Moreno also realized his own gaffe, but he said without apology: "I was just watching a hell of a joke. It was said that two black people were chatting on a boat, and one black person asked worriedly, 'I don't know what kind of life I'll have after I get ashore.' The other black person replied, 'I heard the benefits are pretty good, and you'll get 100 draws when you log in.' Hahahaha, you'll get 100 draws when you log in, damn, it's all Lin Mo's fault for coming up with these crooked ways."

Bonois swallowed his saliva and asked tremblingly: "Boss, you must not tell this to outsiders, I will forget what happened today."

This design is racist!!

The company is in big trouble.

"Oh? Oh, that's not appropriate. Please continue with your report."

Bonois was silent for two seconds, closed the report and placed it on the table in front of him.

"Boss, what's wrong with you? If you continue like this..."

"So what?" Moreno said with a relaxed expression. "We can't complete the bet? It doesn't matter. We didn't expect to complete it in the first place. When we knew that the game cabin's realism was not lying, we had already lost."

Bonois stood up and said anxiously, "But it will take at least 10 years before gaming cabins become popular. 10 years!"

Moreno glanced at him and said, "What do you think is the disadvantage of World of Warcraft compared to Cosmic Rift?"

Bonois is stuck.

Story? The novels and comics that complete the world view of the Warcraft series can fill up an entire bookshelf.

IP popularity? The Warcraft series of American TV series is extremely popular, and the classic characters have long been known to the world.

How to play? With Naughty Cat's high productivity, there is only the gameplay that players don't like in World of Warcraft, but there is no gameplay that cannot be done.

A copy? Again, this kind of test of design skills is totally unmatched.

PVP? This is barely a serious loss.

In the end, I could only find one by force.

“Cosmic Rift has a long history and has many die-hard players. It can be played on PC, so the entry threshold is relatively low.”

Moreno laughed, "Yeah, so you can't tell. As the gaming pods become more and more popular, the only advantage will become smaller and smaller. Every penny spent to save the game will go down the drain."

“But, leadership”

"Look at the reality, Bonois." Moreno's voice finally took on a hint of sadness. "We lost."

The sigh was particularly harsh in the quiet office.

Bonois seemed to have lost his strength and could hardly straighten his back.

"The cosmic rift still has advantages, so we can still try it."

"The moment the game pod was born, we lost."

There was a trace of confusion on Bonois's face.

A kind of confusion where one has the power but nowhere to use it.

We are ready to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first?

But can we win without surrendering?

Can't win.

He didn't get to grab the gaming cabin, but he did experience it.

It's a feeling that once you try it, you can't stop.

There has never been such a novel gaming experience.

He is not young, and this feeling of shock and novelty is no less than the feeling of seeing a 3D game for the first time.

"Sir, we still have the Super Hard Company! We still have the Super Hard Company, and we may be able to turn the tables."

"GiantHard? It's the gaming division of GiantHard." Moreno sneered. "The PC operating system has allowed GiantHard to create a business empire, but now when it comes to products related to neural connection technology that have the potential to replace PCs, GiantHard headquarters has long fallen behind and is already struggling to take care of itself."

"Well, that means."

"Yes, no one can help me." Moreno looked older when he said this. "I did something wrong, and this is also the most outrageous mistake in my career - Lin Mo."

Looking at his boss who used to be full of energy, Bonois felt puzzled for such a long time.

Why do you act like nothing happened?

How could it be okay?

My heart is dead.

Now that I know what will happen to me, I can let it go.

Knowing that he was invincible, he felt hopeless.

The landscape of the gaming industry has changed a long time ago. This is no longer the era where big companies act recklessly and rely on their moats to arrogantly compete with players for money.

Now is the era of high-quality products.

Baofeng Entertainment and Tudou Factory are used to making money without doing anything. Baofeng Entertainment is used to making quick money, money that is not spent hard.

Bureaucracy and office politics are prevalent throughout the company.

It is difficult to turn a big ship around.

The IP of Road to Heaven was split off, and War Zone has an incredibly strong competitor, Call of Duty. Although Cosmic Rift did not commit suicide, it died because it failed to keep up with the new era.

Bonois even thought that instead of being enemies with the naughty cat, he could have cooperated with him in a friendly manner.

Could the first MMORPG to land in the game cabin be Universe Rift?

This IP will still have another ten or fifteen years.

but now.

The bet agreement is doomed to fail. The company will soon face massive layoffs and existing projects will have to reduce development resources.

The future of the company.

He didn't dare to think about it, but Moreno had already seen it.

He said faintly: "The glorious days of Baofeng Entertainment are gone forever. Bonois, Baofeng Entertainment is now the Titanic about to hit the iceberg."

"I understand, boss."

When he said this, Bonois realized that his voice was a little hoarse.

He knew that it was time for him to leave.

end of the month.

A piece of news that made all players sigh was released.

After all the links were completed, the highly anticipated century acquisition case was unexpectedly but reasonably aborted.

Moreno of Baofeng Entertainment resigned.

The head of Giant Interactive's gaming business has been replaced, with West being promoted but demoted in reality.

The subscription plan, which was implemented in a tough manner by spending money, died in the womb.
