Wu Zhao was also paying attention to Thunderbolt Tabletop. He was panicking as he was shocked by the number of downloads on the first day.
Especially after Chen Mo's first set of combo punches, it made him completely aware of his oversight.
Wu Zhao made tabletop games himself. After Thunderbolt Tabletop was released, the daily active count of Emperor Dynasty Entertainment's tabletop games dropped by a few hundred thousand. This wasn't a small number.
It was obvious that a large portion of the players ran over to Thunderbolt Tabletop. Some of them were there for the novelty, while others were there for the prizes.
Moreover, Wu Zhao also felt danger at the first moment. He had a strong feeling that this was only the beginning.
Wu Zhao had no choice but to ask Lin Chaoxu for help.
…
Lin Chaoxu didn't look too good in the office.
"You said this game wouldn't cause us to lose a lot of users, what's going on? Hmm? Our daily active count dropped by a few hundred thousand on the first day, and you call that not losing a lot of users? "
Wu Zhao wiped the sweat off his forehead, "Mr Lin, please let me explain."
"This Chen Mo had planned this from the start. It's just that the installer he sent us didn't show any flaws, which is why I overlooked it."
"He had it all planned out, he was going to use competitive matches and prizes as a way to promote the game. When I saw the installer, I thought the 'competitive matches' was just one of his innovations. I didn't expect him to make a big deal out of it, which is why I was wrong … "
Lin Chaoxu went silent for a while before asking, "Is there any way to fix this? The main thing is with Emperor Dynasty Tabletop. We'll give them gaming pods too, ten times more than he did! Let's keep the players here first. "
Wu Zhao said, "Mr Lin, it's not that simple. We can give them to them, but we don't have a competitive venue! "
Lin Chaoxu frowned, "If there's no competitive venue, then we'll use a lucky draw. As long as the players are online for a certain amount of time or games, they'll get a chance to draw. Wouldn't that increase their daily active count?"
Wu Zhao said, "Mr Lin, there's a difference. If it's a lucky draw, most of the players will think that they won't get a chance, and won't be as enthusiastic. We have millions of users, and if we draw ten or even thirty gaming pods every week, the chance of winning is only one in a hundred thousand. "
"Moreover, the players won't be very enthusiastic about winning the lottery. Most people will use the hack method to gain the qualification. It won't be too exciting for daily life."
"Although Chen Mo didn't give away much for the competition, only giving away three gaming pods per week, his cleverness lies in giving the players the illusion that this is a competition, and that as long as you're strong enough, you'll win the prizes."
Lin Chaoxu frowned and said, "How long will it take for us to have a competition as well? Can you finish it in a week? "
Wu Zhao said, "I've arranged for someone to do it urgently, but the rules of the competition table are quite complicated, and the workload basically accounts for about 30% of the entire board and card game. Including the testing and tuning time, I'm afraid it will take two weeks."
Lin Chaoxu's face darkened. "Two weeks? It had been too long. I don't care if you're up all night or on adrenaline, you have to do it in a week. Before that, do the lucky draw. Get gaming pods, phones, computers, shopping cards, anything you can get, make sure you have a steady stream of daily life! "
Wu Zhao nodded immediately, "Yes, Mr Lin, I'll arrange for it right away."
…
Emperor Dynasty Entertainment reacted quickly as well. Emperor Dynasty Tabletop started the lucky draw the day after Thunderbolt Tabletop was released. Players had to stay in the game for a certain amount of time and a certain number of games to get a chance at the lucky draw. The prizes ranged from shopping cards to VR gaming pods.
Obviously, Emperor Dynasty Entertainment had no choice but to defend against Chen Mo's attacks. They weren't stupid enough to just let themselves be attacked, but using the lottery wasn't a smart move.
It couldn't be helped, Emperor Dynasty Tabletop didn't have a competition venue, so they had to make do with it.
After that, Emperor Dynasty Tabletop's number of daily active players stabilized, and even increased slightly. However, most of the players that returned were just there to try their luck at the lucky draw, not many were actually playing cards.
On the contrary, many players were having a lot of fun playing Thunderbolt Tabletop, especially Thunderbolt Poker. This new type of poker quickly gained a loyal group of players, and more and more players started researching the techniques behind the game.
Many players found that the winning rate of the pros in Thunderbolt Poker was significantly higher than Dou Dizhu or Mahjong. As long as you kept your composure and folded when you got a bad hand, you would be able to keep a steady profit.
Of course, there were some players that didn't like this style of play as they felt that it was too frustrating. They had to stay calm at all times, and couldn't raise impulsively, or else they would lose everything.
However, this didn't affect the popularity of Thunderbolt Tabletop. Even if these players didn't like Thunderbolt Poker, they could still play Dou Dizhu or Mahjong.
Soon, Thunderbolt Tabletop was getting more and more players commenting.
"The new player guide is very detailed, I feel like some of the details are better than other tabletop games."
"I feel like it's very kind, giving out a lot of beans every day, and three bankruptcy guarantees. It's very suitable for a king of charity gamblers like me."
"Previous poster, you're only losing a few thousand beans every day, how can you call yourself a king of gambling? At most, you're a charity gambler."
"I didn't notice that there were so many pros, I always thought I was pretty good, but now I'm not even in the top 100 …"
"Don't stop me, I'm definitely going to win the VR gaming pod!"
"Although my skills aren't good enough yet, I'll definitely be the champion next week!"
"I've already decided to switch to Thunderbolt Tabletop, because they give out a lot of free beans …"
…
Sunday.
Thunderbolt Tabletop's player count had exceeded 1.5 million, this growth rate was even faster than I Am MT!
Of course, most of these players were free players, and Thunderbolt Tabletop's income couldn't even touch I Am MT's toes. However, just the number of active players alone was enough to shock the industry.
Without a doubt, Thunderbolt Tabletop was very popular. Some PC and mobile game streamers even switched from Emperor Dynasty Dou Dizhu to Thunderbolt Dou Dizhu during their free time.
There were also some tabletop game streamers that used 'Live Streaming Winning the VR Pod' as a gimmick, with tens of thousands of people watching.
