In the rented apartment …
Pei Qian, who had just woken up from his afternoon nap, turned around on his bed and grabbed his phone to take a look. There was an unread message.
"Boss Pei, sorry to disturb you. I have a design problem that I would like to consult you on. From the results of our discussion, whales would definitely be unhappy if we cut off the purchase options in the game. May I know how to resolve this? "
Pei Qian rubbed his sleepy eyes and muttered softly, "Who is this?"
He took a closer look and realized that it was Ye Zhizhou, the chief planner of Shang Yang Games that he had just promoted.
Pei Qian had given him an 'imperial sword', allowing him to snitch and fire his employees. Naturally, he had to add him as a friend, or else it would be difficult to contact him.
In the end, Ye Zhizhou did not mention anything about firing the others. Instead, he asked about the design of the game.
Pei Qian read the question out loud again.
Question: Cutting off the purchase options will cause players who have already spent money to be unhappy. How should I resolve this?
That was easy to understand. Bloody Battle Song was a game with paywalls. Whales had spent tens of thousands of dollars on this game, and they had finally become more powerful than others.
In the end, all the purchase options were cut off. They would not be able to experience the thrill of killing people again. Wouldn't they be asking for a refund and quit the game?
Of course, refunds were not possible.
Every debt has a debtor. You can ask Du Ruijie for the money he took.
If you quit the game …
That's great! It's a deal!
Boss Pei really looked down on people like you who gave him money by force.
You want to give money to Tengda? Dream on!
Otherwise, all of you tycoons should just obediently become free players.
Otherwise, you can stop playing this game.
En, perfect!
Pei Qian grabbed his phone and typed in a daze, "Let them be."
Then, he tossed his phone beside his pillow and went back to sleep.
…
In Shang Yang Games' conference room, everyone was waiting for Boss Pei's news.
Ye Zhizhou sat at the head of the conference table and stared at his phone screen, waiting for Boss Pei's reply. He felt uneasy.
Boss Pei did not reply immediately, probably because he was busy with work.
After all, Shang Yang Games was only one of Boss Pei's many businesses. What's more, it was not that close to him. His priority was probably lower.
Everyone else had different reactions.
When some people heard Ye Zhizhou's modification plan, they felt that it was quite interesting, and they were filled with enthusiasm.
Some people were still unconvinced by Ye Zhizhou, but they did not dare to show it.
After all, Wang Xiaobin, who had the most experience in the design team, was planning to cooperate with Ye Zhizhou. Even if the others wanted to cause trouble, they would not have much influence. What's more, Ye Zhizhou could communicate directly with Boss Pei. That was the biggest deterrent.
Some even suspected that Ye Zhizhou had purposely asked Boss Pei this question during the meeting to establish his dominance!
He was hinting to everyone that he could contact Boss Pei directly. All of them had better behave themselves.
Therefore, the atmosphere in the conference room was quite serious. The newly appointed Ye Zhizhou was still able to control the situation.
"Ding."
The notification sounded. Ye Zhizhou quickly looked at Boss Pei's reply.
There were only four simple words: "Let them be."
That's … it?
Ye Zhizhou was a little dazed.
Wang Xiaobin, who was sitting at the side, leaned over and asked with concern, "Has Boss Pei replied?"
Ye Zhizhou turned the phone screen towards Wang Xiaobin. "Just four words."
"Brother Wang, look at this …"
Ye Zhizhou was a little lost.
Logically speaking, he had to carry out Boss Pei's instructions to the letter.
However, if he completely ignored these ballers, wouldn't that be courting death?
In a national war game like Bloody Battle Song, ballers' top-up accounts accounted for more than eighty percent of all top-up accounts. Abandoning ballers was equivalent to giving up eighty percent of one's income.
That was not cutting off one's wrist. That was suicide!
It was also because of this reason that everyone discussed for a long time during the meeting that they still could not find a solution that satisfied both sides.
Cutting purchase options would definitely affect ballers' interests. If ballers were unhappy, the game's income would plummet.
In other words, no matter how they analyzed it, Boss Pei's actions would only cause the game's income to plummet. The two games that could not take it anymore would die even faster.
At his wit's end, Ye Zhizhou finally made up his mind to consult Boss Pei.
In the end, Boss Pei only replied with four words.
The final solution was … not to resolve it?
To let ballers fend for themselves?
What kind of …?
How daring!
Wang Xiaobin's brows were initially furrowed, but they slowly relaxed.
"Boss Pei is indeed daring. I'm impressed!
"There's great wisdom hidden in those four words!"
Wang Xiaobin sighed with emotion.
Ye Zhizhou did not understand, but he thought it was awesome.
Indeed, having an old man at home was like having a treasure.
Only an experienced designer like Wang Xiaobin could decipher such a profound thing!
Wang Xiaobin cleared his throat and said to everyone, "There's no need to discuss this anymore. Boss Pei has already given us a solution: let them do as they please!
"In other words, we don't have to care about the impact of these changes on ballers.
"After the new version is released, ballers in the old server will not have their stats changed. They will still have their current combat strength. However, all the top-up accounts will be blocked. They will no longer be able to increase their combat strength by topping up large amounts of money.
"Players in the new server will stand on the same starting line and follow our plans for the new version."
Everyone exchanged confused looks.
That's it?
Wasn't the problem still not resolved?
If ballers stopped playing and top-up, what should they do?
Wang Xiaobin smiled, relieved. "Boss Pei has already answered this question for us.
"Cutting the purchase options will indeed affect the interests of ballers. That's inevitable. We've worked hard to find a solution, but there's no solution for such a thing!
"This is like a complete revolution. Do we still need to consider ballers' feelings when we're fighting them and dividing their land? There's no need for that.
"Boss Pei's meaning is very clear. Let them fend for themselves!
"We've been struggling with this for a long time, but Boss Pei solved it so quickly. That's the difference in standards!"
Everyone was enlightened.
It was as if a complicated knot had been cut with a knife. This seemingly unsolvable problem had been solved so easily by Boss Pei!
However, it was easier said than done.
Who would have the courage to cut off 80% of their own income?
Boss Pei could!
At that thought, everyone could not help but admire Boss Pei even more.
There was no hesitation in giving up and gaining.
Indeed, this was the true realm of a master!
Ye Zhizhou was also very emotional. He knocked on the table and said, "Alright, the last problem has been solved. Let's … start work!
"We must follow Boss Pei's train of thought to the end and bring these two games back to life!"
