March 16th, Wednesday …
There was a new event for GOG's mobile game after a regular update.
Battle to the top of the gods!
The event clearly stated that GOG's ranking competition would be held in a seasonal format. This year would be the first season, and the spring competition would end on March 29th and settle on March 31st.
At settlement, players would be awarded 9.5 million yuan according to their rankings!
It was cash, not in-game currency!
Among them, the first place of the client-side game and mobile game would be awarded a hundred thousand yuan each!
Moreover, all the way to the 500th place, which was the Grandmaster rank, would also be awarded five thousand yuan!
The scariest thing was that GOG's computer version had not been officially released. They would have to wait until next Monday.
They would play from next Monday, which was the 21st, until midnight on the 29th. As long as they worked hard for eight days, they would have a chance to win a hundred thousand yuan!
Gamers were shocked when the announcement was made. Some even suspected that it was fake news.
"Crazy, they're definitely crazy! They're going to spend ten million yuan in less than half a month? "
"It's not just now. They're going to spend ten million yuan every three months. That's forty million yuan every year!"
"This game's charging model has always been very kind. I highly doubt that they'll be able to sustain this method of spending money."
"Tengda has always been a man of his word. They have good credibility. Don't worry."
"I'm not worried about Tengda's credibility, I'm worried about their money …"
"It looks like Tengda is putting in a lot of money this time. The upper echelons probably think very highly of GOG and are willing to spend a lot of money to defeat IOI and Gods Rising."
"To be honest, Tengda's upper echelons are the most daring I've ever seen. The first reaction of every decision they make is: is Tengda crazy? However, every time they make a similar decision, their business would improve by leaps and bounds! "
"That's Tengda's superpower. They might not be making a lot of money, but they dare to spend money! Even companies richer than Tengda would not be as daring as them! "
"I'm not going to say anything else. I'm going to download GOG now. If I can get five thousand yuan in a week, that's a huge profit!"
"I just booked an OTTO E1 cell phone.
I don't know when I'll be able to get it, but it's out of stock at the critical moment. I told you that this is hunger marketing! "
"Can't you use any phone?"
"You can play on any cell phone, but Otto Technologies has a special high frame rate mode. How can a person who wants to reach the top of the gods be restricted by the hardware? Then it must be matched with a specialized cell phone and a full skin! "
"There are too many mobile users. I don't think I can count on them. I'll get a new computer and wait for the client-side version to reach its upper limit. Mobile games only have 500 players anyway. I'll just try to follow the footsteps of a PC game master! "
"A few of my brothers have rich gaming experience in Gods Rising and IOI. I'll ask them to switch to GOG!"
"After playing GOG for a day, I don't think the game's success is a coincidence. The game's mechanisms are rich, fast-paced, and the hero's image is friendly. The network environment is good, stable, and bug-free. You can even use your Tengda Games account to log in and invite friends directly … it's so convenient compared to those two foreign games! "
Such discussions could be seen everywhere on the internet. In just one day, the game had become so popular that everyone knew about it!
Of course, GOG's current popularity was still limited to a small circle.
MMORPGs were still the well-deserved leader in the games market. Gods Rising, IOI, and GOG might have a certain group of players, but the groups of the three games overlapped.
In other words, the three games were basically fighting over MOBA gamers. To be more precise, IOI was fighting over the old gamers of Gods Rising, and GOG was fighting over the old gamers of Gods Rising and IOI.
As for new blood, it was still flowing in slowly.
However, GOG's' lavish spending 'was indeed effective. Not only did it attract a large number of old gamers of IOI and Gods Rising to GOG, but it also made many new gamers who had never come into contact with similar games choose GOG as their first try!
…
In his office, Pei Qian read the netizens' discussions with mixed feelings.
He was happy because the money had been spent.
He was worried because he had not expected that the money that he had wasted would make such a huge splash!
Everyone seemed to be too excited …
However, on further thought, it made sense. It was not unprecedented for a game that had only been released a few days ago to spend so much money. In any case, it did not happen many times.
The key was that the game had just been released. Most people wanted to get lucky.
If this was an old game that had been online for three or four years, most of the players would have a rough idea of how strong they were. They would know very well that they were at the Bronze or Silver level. They would not have such unrealistic fantasies like "I can become a Grandmaster", and they would not blindly participate in the game.
However, things were different now. Everyone was starting from zero. They all felt that they were one of the one thousand lucky ones. What's more, they only needed to work hard for a week to see the results. That kind of wishful thinking drove players to enter GOG and fight hard.
Pei Qian wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He did not know what the next settlement would be like. Things might be difficult to deal with.
Still, it was a good thing to drag it to the next cycle.
At the moment, the only good news was that Be Quiet was not selling well.
The sales of Be Quiet weren't that great, and it was far from being able to recoup its costs.
"For now, it should be stable for two days, right?"
Pei Qian heaved a sigh of relief. He opened Aili Island, prepared to watch a few lame videos to calm himself down.
However, the moment he refreshed, he saw Teacher Qiao's new video on the homepage.
Products of the Gods, Episode Three: Be Quiet.
The painstaking effort and pride of a top-notch game designer!
Pei Qian threw his cell phone far away with a 'bam'.
He held his forehead with his hand and closed his eyes.
Oh no, the nightmare is coming again!
Pei Qian still remembered the fear of Teacher Qiao's' Products of the Gods' video series when he was working on Game Designer and Repent and be Saved.
He had thought that GOG would be the target this time. In any case, GOG was so popular now. Teacher Qiao's videos would not be a problem.
Unexpectedly, Teacher Qiao did not arrange for Tengda Games but Shang Yang Games!
Pei Qian was speechless. Why are you so picky?
I have Be Quiet in my hands now.
You still won't let go of Be Quiet, the only one left?
Moreover, there have already been three installments of the Products of the Gods. Why are they all about me?
Have you ever heard of a person becoming a god thrice?
How could that be!
Even if you have a soft spot for my game, you should at least switch companies in the middle. You can't just stick to me when you're fleecing me!
Pei Qian cursed in his heart. However, after calming down, he quietly picked up his cell phone.
Although he was very reluctant, he still had to watch this video. He could not afford to be like an ostrich. He had to know where Teacher Qiao had praised him so that he could silently correct himself next time and guarantee that he would not make the same mistake again.
"Although I know better than anyone that you're talking nonsense, I'll still reluctantly take a look …"
Pei Qian pressed the play button sadly.
…
"Hello, fathers. I'm still your Teacher Qiao."
"Everyone already knows from the title. Today's game is' Be Me! '
BE QUIET, that is, "Hush!" This game. "
"Recently, this game has caused a lot of controversy on the Internet because of its unique pre-purchase conditions. Many fans have sent me private messages, hoping that I can express my views on this."
"As you all know, I have been very excited to participate in this game ever since the ARG puzzle was released. To be honest, the first player to crack the puzzle and enter this game was me. Sigh, I'm really sorry."
"After experiencing this game intensely, I feel that the Products of the Gods series can finally usher in a new episode!"
"In that case, everyone, together with Teacher Qiao, will unveil the mystery of this game. Are you ready?"
…
After watching this opening, Pei Qian only felt one thing: tired.
This Teacher Qiao must have misinterpreted my meaning because of a certain setting in the game that I came up with on the spur of the moment!
Since he had been fooled twice, Pei Qian was already very clear about Teacher Qiao's routine.
However, it was useless even if he understood the routine because the content of the same routine was different every time …
Fans loved to see Teacher Qiao interpret games in different ways. What should he do?
Pei Qian felt very helpless. He seemed to have foreseen what was going to happen next, but he could only bite the bullet and continue watching.
…
"Before I start analyzing this very unique online horror game, I want to refresh everyone's memory.
"Please recall the anger you felt when you first started playing Repent and be Saved.
"Yes, that's right. Please recall that anger and compare it to your current feelings. Don't you think they are similar to each other to some extent?
"Some people might want to argue that they are not the same, but I have to be very honest and tell everyone that no, they are the same.
"This anger can be summarized in one sentence: This world is not developing as I expected, so I am very angry.
"In Repent and be Saved, we were looking forward to playing a grass-mowing game. We hoped that it would be like other games, where we would choose a simple difficulty and use a majestic weapon to push our way through. However, the first monster on the grave taught us a lesson. That is why we are angry.
"In Be Quiet, we were the same.
It's the same with Be Quiet. We wanted to buy the game and start playing without any preparation steps. However, the developers required us to solve the puzzles and play an eye-catching mini-game to qualify for the purchase. That's why we're angry. "
"In this regard, I would say the same thing. The key lies in how we view it."
"You can see it as a hindrance, or you can see it as a form of guidance and teaching.
"Let me give you two simple examples.
"In many PvP games, we have to go through a mandatory tutorial after we enter the game. We cannot skip it. Newbies are not allowed to play with experts.
"In real life, we have to go through a very complicated driving test if we want to drive.
"Many people would say that this is different. Driving will endanger other people's lives and health, but playing games will not harm others.
"I want to ask you: are you sure? Are you sure that playing games will not harm other people?
"We often say that we should not be afraid of god-like opponents, but we should be afraid of pig-like teammates. Think about all the times you were cheated by your stupid teammates. Isn't mental damage an injury? "
"If you spent money on the game and invested a lot of effort into it, only to have your gaming experience ruined because of players who don't know how to play and are unwilling to learn, would you be angry? Will you feel that your money and time are wasted? "
"BE!
Be Quiet's approach is to guide and train the players before entering the game. Furthermore, it's different from the guidance that comes only after entering the game. This game doesn't cost you a single cent. "
"Why are there such restrictions in the qualifiers? Due to the complexity of the game, it required all the players to be proficient in the rules in order to give a perfect match and ensure everyone's gaming experience. Once a weakness appears, the balance of the game will instantly collapse, and the other nine will completely lose the fun of the game. "
"And BE!
Coincidentally, Be Quiet is such a complicated game. It's not friendly to beginners, but when everyone is proficient in the rules, they can have a perfect gaming experience! "
