The System did not allow full refunds for previous players. After all, Repent and be Saved had only become free this month.
However, in order to take care of the players' emotions and maintain the company's reputation, a partial refund was not a problem.
As the saying went, buy early, enjoy early, buy late, get discounts, and not buy for free.
Games were the most expensive when they were first released. After that, the discounts would increase. This was not only a marketing strategy for businesses to maximize profits, but it had also become a habit and consensus among gamers.
Many e-commerce platforms had also introduced insurance policies. If the price of a product dropped drastically in the short term, the difference would be refunded.
Of course, there were many reasons for this. Pei Qian did not know what they were, but he did not care. He was simply using this as an excuse to refund the players.
What else in the world could make him happier than giving back money that he had already put into the System's pocket?
Yu Fei could not help but look shocked.
So kind!
Boss Pei is indeed Boss Pei. He's always so extraordinary!
In fact, most players were very accepting of free games. Even if they bought the game at the original price and got it for free, and even if the manufacturer didn't offer any compensation, most players wouldn't cause trouble. At most, they would complain about it online and laugh at their luck.
After all, it was good news for gamers if the manufacturer offered discounts or free games. It would be too much to ask the manufacturer to compensate gamers who had bought the game before.
However, Boss Pei did not need gamers to ask. He took the initiative to refund and compensate them!
Repent and be Saved was an old game. It often appeared on the official platform's best-selling list. It was also a regular on the best-selling list of action-type games.
Many gamers were confused. Were there still people who had not bought Repent and be Saved?
A game like that was a stable source of profit for the company.
What's more, Eternal Fallen Samsara was a huge success. It was a perfect combination with Repent and be Saved. Most gamers already had a consensus that they had to buy both games together.
There was no need to talk about old gamers. More importantly, new gamers who had recently fallen into the trap would buy Repent and be Saved as well after buying Eternal Fallen Samsara.
That would be a huge sum of money!
Yet, Boss Pei had given Repent and be Saved a free game at this critical juncture?
Awesome was the only way to describe it.
Yu Fei immediately nodded. "Alright, Boss Pei. Don't worry. I'll make sure to arrange everything!"
He was thinking that even though he was about to leave, if he could make this happen before he left, it would be a good deed for the players.
His brief experience as the chief designer of Tengda Games could be considered a perfect end to his short experience.
Pei Qian nodded in satisfaction. "Hmm … the second thing is to call everyone over. We'll have a meeting to discuss the new game."
"Ah?"
Yu Fei was stunned. He was a little confused.
After a while, he said, "Boss Pei, there's no need to rush this matter, right?"
"Hu Xianbin will be back soon. You should wait for him to come back before you have this meeting. Otherwise, I will have to hand over the work to him, and I might not be able to convey many of the design ideas well."
"Eh? Why does this scene feel so familiar …"
Yu Fei suddenly remembered that at the beginning of last month, he seemed to have done something similar.
Boss Pei had asked Yu Fei to cooperate with Meng Chang on the publicity plan for Eternal Fallen Samsara. Yu Fei had wanted to wait for Hu Xianbin to come back, but he did not expect Hu Xianbin to be pulled away halfway before he could even reach the office.
Yu Fei could only bitterly take over for another month.
Then, this time …
Yu Fei's eyes were suddenly filled with vigilance as he realized that something was wrong.
"Boss Pei, did something happen to Hu Xianbin again? Didn't you say that he would be training for a month? I won't even be able to see him this time, right? "
Pei Qian thought for a moment. "Ah, that won't happen."
In other words, he should still be able to see him.
It was said that Bao Xu had arranged for these people in charge to take care of their funeral affairs. Oh, no, before they set off on the journey to Shennongjia, they could return to their respective departments to deal with the relevant work.
After all, they had left their respective departments for a period of time. It was normal for them to go back and take a look.
Therefore, Yu Fei would definitely be able to see Hu Xianbin.
However, after seeing him … it would be hard to say.
Hearing Boss Pei's words, Yu Fei heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, fortunately. He had almost imagined the terrifying scene of him taking over for three months.
Pei Qian continued. "The main thing is that there are frequent changes in the schedule for the special training classes. It is normal for them to be brought forward or delayed by two days. However, the work of the games department cannot be delayed, especially the creativity of the new game. We have to meet early and decide on a plan. Otherwise, it would easily drag down the entire development cycle. "
Yu Fei nodded, feeling that what Boss Pei said made sense.
Tengda Games had always been known for divergent thinking, open-minded thinking, and strict control of the development cycle. That was a tradition left behind by Huang Sibo when he was the person-in-charge. It was also the purpose of the entire Tengda Corporation.
The prerequisite for divergent thinking was to have a meeting to decide on the general direction of the new game. That way, everyone would be able to brainstorm in the same direction and design the game prototype under a certain framework.
In order to strictly control the development cycle, they had to cherish every working day. After all, every working day was extremely precious under the premise that they could not work overtime.
It was obviously very irresponsible and not in line with the Tengda spirit to wait for Hu Xianbin to come back just to save time for the handover.
Yu Fei once again felt ashamed of his unprofessionalism.
Ai, this kind of work attitude is not right!
Boss Pei trusts me so much that he asked me to take over for him.
At the start, I also thought that I would be the last one to take over.
In the end, I still naturally developed the feeling of 'it's better to have less trouble'. I have let down Boss Pei's expectations of me!
At that thought, Yu Fei stood up. "Alright, Boss Pei. I'll call them over now."
…
Soon, all the core members of the games department arrived and took their seats in the conference room.
They were going to make a new game again. Happy!
When everyone was developing Eternal Fallen Samsara, they were quite excited. However, they knew very well that it was just a downloadable content. It was a little boring after all.
Now, they were finally going to develop the next large-scale game!
Who knew what kind of strange ideas Boss Pei would come up with this time?
Pei Qian was very worried as he looked at everyone in the games department who looked like they were waiting to be fed.
He had to rack his brains to fool this group of people every time. It was too tiring!
What's more, although he managed to fool them, it was precisely because he managed to fool them that they would be full of confidence to complete the game.
As time went by, they would fall into a vicious cycle.
What kind of game should he arrange for the games department to make this time?
Pei Qian had tried too many directions before. There were popular ones and unpopular ones.
However, regardless of whether they were popular or unpopular, they all succeeded in the end!
That was f * cking ridiculous.
Therefore, Pei Qian had more or less thought through it. The success of the game might not have much to do with his own choices. He might as well treat it as a matter of luck and do it casually.
Pei Qian had actually prepared a plan when he held a meeting with Shang Yang Games previously.
At that time, everyone had thought about the types of games that Tengda had not made before and concluded that there were fighting games, audio games, sandbox games, and the like.
In the end, they chose the racing game Safe and Civilized Driving for Shang Yang Games mainly because The Lonely Desert Road that Tengda had made previously could not be considered a racing game. There was still a chance of failure in this direction.
What's more, it was difficult for audio games to incur losses while sandbox games were too risky once they became popular. Therefore, Pei Qian did not want to do that for the time being.
In the end, he kept the fighting game option.
It just so happened that Tengda Games had spent some time developing Eternal Fallen Samsara this time. There was not much time left in this cycle.
Wouldn't it be good to arrange for a game with a small audience to be casually made with this bit of time?
Of course, Pei Qian had no idea what to do with this fighting game at all. That was because he was not a fighting game player at all. He had not even memorized the moves list.
But so what? In any case, the games that Pei Qian was relatively good at were just so-so …
He would let everyone brainstorm for a while before messing around. That should give birth to a very strange game, right?
