There was not much news online during this period of time. The news in the gaming circle basically revolved around these key events: the money-burning war between Tengda and Finger Games, the 515 Games Festival, the Fitness Battle, the smart fitness drying rack, IOI mobile games, and so on.
The gamers did not know what to do.
Tengda had a few games that would give away items as long as they played them. The discount on IOI was also very worth it. What's more, there were new IOI mobile games and Fitness Battle …
It was precisely because the competition between the two companies was especially intense that gamers were in a state of benefiting from it. They were constantly paying attention to the movements of the two companies.
After IOI's mobile game was released yesterday, many gamers expressed their dissatisfaction with the unique charging points in the mobile game. What's more, these emotions were still fermenting.
Obviously, Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation reacted very quickly. This new lucky draw was their sincerity to appease the gamers.
Qiao Liang read the announcement and rules of the lucky draw and could not help but feel emotional. "They're really putting in a lot of money!"
At the moment, the lucky draw had only been announced. The official start would be tomorrow, which was Saturday.
However, the specific rules had already been clearly stated.
The prize pool this time covered a large number of precious skins in IOI. Many limited skins that were out of print were even placed in the prize pool for gamers to draw.
More importantly, the prize pool this time was not only filled with virtual items but also physical items!
For example, the latest PINEAPPLE cell phone, branded computers, graphics cards, mice, headphones, and so on.
Any digital product that the players might like would be arranged in here.
The most eye-catching thing was the official statement that there was a car in the entire prize pool!
It was not an expensive luxury car. It was only about three hundred thousand yuan. However, this was enough to make ordinary gamers go crazy.
What's more, the discount for the lucky draw this time was 30%. There was no limit to the number of times. It looked like they would not lose out no matter how they drew. On the contrary, they would lose out if they did not draw!
Of course, the probability of the lucky draw must have been strictly calculated.
The probability of drawing game skins, especially trash skins, would be higher. The rarer the skin, the lower the probability of drawing it.
The probability of those digital products being drawn was even lower than the limited skin.
As for that car, there was only one in the entire prize pool, and it was not purely based on probability. One had to spend at least 100,000 yuan in the entire process of the lottery to have a chance of winning it. That was the basic condition.
To Long Yu Corporation, a car that cost more than 300,000 yuan was nothing. The key was that the car had to have enough publicity. It was best to give something like this back to the rich.
Of course, there were some tasteless game companies.
Do you know how to manipulate an event under the table?
On the surface, they prepared a lot of gifts, but in fact, they were distributed to the internal staff of the company.
In any case, this lucky draw was not notarized or supervised.
Just organize an event to attract more attention?
As for the prize, it was better to keep the goodies within the family.
At the same time, he was giving out employee benefits.
It was a very reasonable plan to split the money into two parts.
Of course?
Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation didn't do that?
After all, they were a big company, and they still cared about their reputation.
Now was a critical period. If they were discovered to be doing something behind the scenes, it would be a huge scandal. The gains would not make up for the losses.
So?
Other than adding some restrictions to the lucky draw?
Other than making it easier for the local tycoons to get their hands on it, the other aspects were still very fair and just.
Even Qiao Liang, who had always been good at resisting temptation, felt itchy.
However, just as he had the thought of charging money, he felt that something was amiss.
If it was only Finger Games' lucky draw, he would definitely not have any other thoughts.
However, after experiencing the lucky draw of 'Fitness Battle'?
Qiao Liang looked at Finger Games' lucky draw again and felt that something was wrong.
It was not that the prize pool was not good.
It was not that the discount was not enough, but it was a little indescribable.
"Actually, Finger Games' lucky draw?
It's a very common lucky draw. "
"To be fair, it's very conscientious."
"However, the lucky draw system of Fitness Battle is very different from the usual lucky draw system?
That's why I feel the difference is huge. "
"But then again?
Why did 'Fitness Battle' create such a lucky draw system? "
Qiao Liang suddenly fell into deep thought.
The lucky draw system of Fitness Battle did not look complicated?
However, this design was definitely not made by ordinary designers.
The reason was very simple. This thing did not restrict players from refunding at all. Which designer had such authority?
Boss Pei had to personally make the decision when such a huge sum of money was involved.
Boss Pei had personally designed a lucky draw system. The reason behind this was worth investigating.
Was it to be unconventional and different from the lucky draw system of other games?
Or was it to make the game more conscientious and win the reputation of players, achieving the effect of small profits but quick turnover?
He could not possibly be trying to earn less money, right?
These reasons did not seem to be sufficient.
Boss Pei probably would not spend so much effort to design the game himself just for the superficial reason of 'making it different from other games'.
Tengda had so many projects now. There must be a deeper meaning to the projects that Boss Pei personally decided on!
Qiao Liang thought for a long time but still had no clue.
"Let's go online and take a look. There should be many people who feel the same way as me."
…
Qiao Liang easily found many discussions about the lucky draw.
Obviously, Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation had come prepared. They must have spent a lot of money on publicity for this lucky draw. They must have hired fake reviewers.
It was rare for a car to be drawn in an event organized by a game manufacturer. Coupled with a strong publicity campaign, it quickly spread among the gamers.
Many players expressed that it smelled good!
Previously, everyone had criticized Finger Games for being stingy and not as generous as Tengda's 515 Games Festival. IOI's mobile game had been scolded after it was released. However, to be fair, that was compared to Tengda after all.
Compared to other games companies, Finger Games' activities were already quite conscientious.
This time, Finger Games had put in a lot of effort to organize a lucky draw. Apart from skins, they could also draw digital products and even cars. Many gamers who had complained previously had lost their memories on the spot.
There were some who discussed the lucky draw system of the Fitness Battle, but there were not that many.
On one hand, it was because Tengda did not buy fake reviewers or do any publicity. On the other hand, it was because the lucky draw could only draw props from the game and not the real thing. Thus, the popularity would be lower.
However, most of the players who participated in the discussion felt guilty.
There were many people showing off rare props in the forum. Almost everyone had refunded the money. It was just a matter of how much they had refunded.
Some people had only planned to charge two to three hundred yuan. However, they could not help but charge more than two thousand yuan because they could easily refund it. In the end, they still spent more than four hundred yuan after refunding.
There were also people who calculated the probability of the various props based on the charging records to see which people had passed the 0.8 passing line and which non-chiefs were the most unlucky.
Gamers had never been so interested in the gameplay of the lucky draw system itself.
Qiao Liang frowned slightly. "Could it be that … Boss Pei's intention in creating this lucky draw system is not only to complete a game function, but also to deconstruct the very popular 'lucky draw' gameplay in games through this unique lucky draw system?"
