The next day.
Han Lu arrived at the experience store on time.
She looked like a quiet girl, and didn't look very old either, around twenty-five or twenty-six years old.
"Nice to meet you, Mr Chen Mo," Han Lu extended her hand and shook Chen Mo's hand.
"Let's find a quieter place," Chen Mo brought Han Lu to his office on the second floor.
As soon as the two of them arrived on the second floor, Su Jinyu, Jia Peng, and the others all looked towards the staircase.
"Who's this girl?" asked Jia Peng.
Su Jinyu replied, "I think she's a reporter from a gaming channel, here to interview the manager."
Jia Peng was shocked, "Interview the manager? Oh my god, has the manager become so famous already? "
Everyone said, "Scary! I feel like the manager is going to be famous! "
…
In the office.
Chen Mo poured Han Lu a glass of water as the two of them sat on the sofa.
Han Lu said, "You must be quite busy these days, thank you for taking the time to do this interview."
Chen Mo shook his head, "I'm not busy, I've been taking some time off."
Han Lu coughed, "Uhh, alright."
Why can't he answer! Chen Mo was stunned by Han Lu's first sentence.
Chen Mo said, "It's fine, don't be nervous, it's just a casual chat."
Han Lu was speechless, What the hell, am I interviewing you or are you interviewing me!
Han Lu thought for a bit, "Alright, where should we start …"
"Let's start with I Am MT. We all know that the game did very well, making twenty-three million RMB in the first month. You've also become well known in the video game industry because of this game. Then, when you were planning this game, did you think it would be so profitable? "
Chen Mo nodded, "Yep, I did."
Han Lu was speechless.
This wasn't how she expected it to be!
Most video game designers would say "I didn't expect it" when faced with this question, as the video game industry was full of uncertainty. No one could guarantee that their game would be popular.
But Chen Mo said that he knew I Am MT would be so profitable?
Bullsh * t!
Han Lu felt a bit of a headache after encountering serious difficulties with the first question. She could vaguely sense that Chen Mo's brain worked differently than the average person's.
"Can you tell us how you predicted it? Or rather, why are you so confident in this game? "
Han Lu's second question was improvised. After she asked it, she let out a long sigh of relief. She thought to herself, "Thank goodness I'm a professional reporter. My ability to improvise is perfect."
Chen Mo said, "Actually, my motto when designing games is to create happiness with my heart. To be able to make such an outstanding game, it's all because of three aspects. "
"Firstly, it's my passion for games."
"The second aspect is my sincerity towards the players."
"The third aspect is my persistence towards my dreams."
"If there's anything else, it's a little bit of luck."
"That's why I think this game will be popular."
Han Lu's eyes widened. She couldn't believe what Chen Mo just said.
What the hell? Love? Good faith? Persevere?
Were these the words of the designer of I Am MT?
These were all empty words. If passion, sincerity, and perseverance could create a good game, wouldn't the number of good games in the world be exploding?
Moreover, Han Lu had done her homework. She had played I Am MT before. What did passion, sincerity, and perseverance have to do with this game!
Using paywalls to show passion, and scamming money to show sincerity?!
Seeing Chen Mo spouting nonsense with a straight face, Han Lu felt that her interview had hit a huge obstacle.
These were Chen Mo's exact words. Should I write it or not?
If I don't write it, how am I going to finish the article?
If I write it, who would believe me? If I write it, the readers would question the intelligence of the reporter and editor!
Han Lu rubbed her temples and calmed herself down, "Alright, let's change the topic. What do you think of I Am MT's low rating of around 7 on the market? "
Chen Mo said, "Well, I think it's quite normal. Since the game is free to download, it's inevitable that competitors will try to smear it. Anyway, it doesn't cost them much to download the game, so it's normal for them to give it a one-star rating. "
"That's why I feel so distressed. I've worked so hard to develop such a conscientious free-to-play game, but now it's being maliciously smeared by my competitors. This game could have been rated above 9, but now it's hovering around 7. How should I put it, I feel very distressed!"
"I think the official app store should put a stop to this kind of behavior and bring justice to I Am MT!"
Han Lu was once again dumbfounded.
Was it maliciously defamed by a competitor? Those were obviously bad reviews from angry players!
Didn't Chen Mo know? How could he not know? He was lying through his teeth!
Han Lu facepalmed. She had wanted to do an in-depth and explosive interview, but Chen Mo's Tai Chi Fist had made her run around in circles. She couldn't even tell north from north!
Han Lu thought for a bit, "Then, I heard that in I Am MT, there's a card called 'Big Sister' that sold for two thousand RMB. Many game critics say that this has seriously affected the fairness of the game. What do you think about this?"
Chen Mo said, "Oh, about the rare cards, it's like collecting stamps. Do you know what stamp collecting is? Some rare stamps are worth more than a thousand RMB, maybe even tens of thousands of RMB, right? Actually, I Am MT has a certain collecting aspect to it. Some rich players will spend some money to collect all the cards in the book. I think that's an acknowledgement of the game. "
Han Lu asked, "Does that mean you don't think I Am MT is an unfair game?"
Chen Mo shook his head, "That's not a good question. Look, there's no such thing as an absolutely fair game. In some games, the more time you spend, the better you are; or if you're skilled, the better you are; or if you're lucky, the better you are; or if you're popular, the better you are … The game itself is a small world, and it's hard to be absolutely equal. So, yes, I admit that I Am MT is an unfair game. "
"Uhh …"
Han Lu was confused. She seemed to have been caught up in Chen Mo's logic and forgot what she wanted to ask.
After going around in circles for two minutes and not understanding, Han Lu flipped through her notebook and decided to ask the next question.
"I've actually done some simple research before coming here. What surprised me was the amount of money players have spent in I Am MT. According to professional calculations, ten percent of the players in I Am MT are topping up, and the average topping up for these players is around two hundred RMB. "
