After watching the video, Pei Qian fell silent.
There were some philosophical questions circling around in his mind.
Who am I?
Where am I?
What am I doing?
Teacher Qiao's words in the video kept echoing in her ears.
The painstaking effort and pride of a top game designer?
Fortune for domestic players?
The trembling of the soul?
Another wonderful world?
It was dirty!
Misunderstanding, this was a complete misunderstanding!
Dear audience, please don't listen to this damn fatty's lies. Buy a few less copies of this game, you're screwed!
However, the players' feedback in the bullet screen comments mercilessly shattered Pei Qian's fantasy.
"That makes sense!"
"Indeed, the developers wouldn't go through such complicated steps just to dissuade players. Now that I think about it, it does have the effect of purifying the game's environment."
"Although I still can't accept it, I understand."
"Sounds interesting. I really want to give it a try!"
"I've been playing this game for a few days now. It's really fun to play with a few experts who know how to play! I hope that Old Qiao can release a walkthrough video and live gameplay as soon as possible so that more people can feel the charm of this high-end game! "
"I'm going to complete the prerequisite quest and buy it to play with!"
Pei Qian sighed helplessly and silently turned off the video.
…
At Shang Yang Games …
At this moment, Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin were also watching Teacher Qiao's video.
After reading it, the two of them could not help but nod in satisfaction.
"The experts are hidden among the people. Teacher Qiao is indeed Boss Pei's confidant. He really understood Boss Pei's true intentions," Wang Xiaobin said emotionally.
Ye Zhizhou smiled and said, "It's really impressive. As the creators of this game, we only realized this after Boss Pei made the ARG game. We are not much faster than him."
"As a player, Teacher Qiao actually understood Boss Pei's intentions to this extent. It's really commendable.
"We originally thought that the game would be complete once it was developed, had no bugs, and had an excellent horror experience. However, it's far from complete.
"Because for a game with such complicated gameplay, being popular for a short period of time doesn't mean much. The most important thing is to keep it running for a long time!"
"BE!
Be Quiet was a game that required players to be patient and willing to use their brains to delve into the game's settings. Only when everyone in the game is proficient in the gameplay can everyone get the best gaming experience. "
"When the game was first released, we were all very clear about this, but perhaps because we didn't realize the importance of this matter, or because we thought it was an unsolvable problem, we didn't do anything."
"It's a good thing that Boss Pei saw through this and helped us make up for it!"
Wang Xiaobin nodded, "Well, using ingenious ARG games and eye-tracking games as prerequisites for purchase is indeed a good way to screen and train players."
"But what I'm worried about is whether this kind of screening will also have certain hidden dangers."
"No matter what, this kind of screening will eliminate a large number of new players who fall into the trap. Moreover, this is an online game. In the long run, there's no guarantee that there will be new blood in the game. I'm afraid that it will slowly become a ghost suit …"
Ye Zhizhou smiled and shook his head. "No!"
"Do you think Boss Pei can't think of the problems that you can think of?"
"In fact, Boss Pei's behavior is not screening at all. Your thinking is wrong!"
"Teacher Qiao is just a UP Master after all, not a professional game designer. He only sees the screening effect of the current players, but he does not see the future!"
Wang Xiaobin was stunned. "Oh? What do you mean? "
Ye Zhizhou smiled and said confidently, "According to my understanding, Boss Pei's entire strategy should be divided into at least three stages!
"The first stage is to ensure that the first batch of players who enter Be Quiet are elite players who have the patience to study the gameplay.
"Of course, a lot of game sales will be lost in the early stages, but let Be Quiet be Quiet be elite players who have the patience to study the gameplay.
"Of course, we'll lose a lot of game sales in the early stages.
Keeping Be Quiet in such a 'small but beautiful' state is more beneficial to maintaining the experience of the minority group of players and improving the game's reputation.
"In the second stage, as the game's reputation continues to improve, new players will continue to pour in.
"Before these new players enter, they will also go through this simple 'training'. What's more, since the number of new players entering is small, they will quickly figure out the gameplay of the game under the guidance of the older players and quickly become immersed in it.
"In this process, new players will quickly turn into old players. Therefore, in the third stage, the game will try to attract as many players as possible while maintaining its reputation and game environment!"
"On the other hand, if a large number of players enter at will from the beginning, it will make the game's environment more chaotic. Novice players would not be able to get the traditional thrill of getting out of the pit quickly, and the expert players would also become mentally unbalanced because of the novice players. The entire game would enter a state of disorder, and its popularity would decline rapidly!
"In other words, Boss Pei is not only sacrificing the game's sales to maintain the game's environment, but he is really getting the best of both worlds! He is just delaying the explosive growth of the game's sales in the early stages and spreading it evenly to the months after! "
Wang Xiaobin suddenly understood. "I see! He sacrificed this month's income to allow the subsequent income to continue to increase. What a 'delayed gratification'! "
Ye Zhizhou turned to look out of the window and sighed. "Boss Pei might not be personally involved in the development of the game, but he only used a few days to casually make an ARG game, and he was able to achieve the effect of turning stone into gold. This skill is really unparalleled …
"We still have to follow behind Boss Pei and continue to work hard!"
…
…
March 17th, Thursday …
Pei Qian slept all the way until noon.
That was because his OTTO E1 had arrived last night.
He had to say that Chang You was very aware of the situation.
It had to be said that Chang You knew what he was doing. The moment the new batch of goods arrived, he immediately sent someone to deliver them to Boss Pei.
In the end, Pei Qian played GOG until 2 AM before falling asleep.
Pei Qian only had one feeling when he woke up in the morning.
Games really hurt the body!
Especially the liver!
MOBA games hurt even more.
However, the feeling of using one's own cell phone to play the game that one made with one's own prototype hero and putting on one's own exclusive skin was quite intoxicating …
Pei Qian could now understand why a certain designer killed a knife girl multiple times in a month. He also understood why a certain producer had such a soft spot for a sledgehammer. When a designer himself played a certain profession or hero in the game, it was difficult to make a design completely without any subjective color …
Of course, Pei Qian did not intend to strengthen the hero Modest.
That was because once it was strengthened, four teammates would probably fight for it, or they would be instantly banned as soon as they entered the rankings. There would be no way to play at all …
Therefore, it was good to maintain the current state.
He had to say that the large amount of coins was very effective. Pei Qian could even intuitively feel the increase in players.
He often had to queue for four or five minutes to play yesterday. Today, the queuing time had been reduced to one or two minutes. Sometimes, he could even enter in twenty or thirty seconds.
Of course, that was just ordinary matchmaking. If he wanted to go to the higher rankings, he would probably have to wait patiently.
Even Pei Qian himself coveted the hundred thousand yuan reward.
However, he knew very well that it was impossible. On one hand, Boss Pei knew very well that he would not be able to reach the Master division. On the other hand, it was also because if he spent all his time on ranking, no one in the company would care about him. He would probably make unstoppable profits.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Pei Qian felt that it was more important to incur losses!
After all, playing games could only be regarded as a hobby. Losing money was his main business.
Speaking of losing money …
Pei Qian opened the platform and took a look at the data of Be Quiet.
He found that the sales of the game had increased after Teacher Qiao's video was released, but the increase was still within an acceptable range. It was not particularly exaggerated.
On the other hand, the game's rating on TPDb kept rising. It was almost nine points …
Pei Qian was still thinking about whether he should do some remedial measures, but it did not seem necessary when he saw that the sales had not skyrocketed.
As for the reputation, so be it. It would not bring additional burden to him anyway.
Pei Qian strolled to Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's Handong University branch. As he ate lunch, he thought about it. It seemed like it was time to eat and drink to his heart's content. Oh, no, to organize some celebratory banquets.
He pinched his fingers and calculated. If the employees of the successful projects went to Boss Li's Ming House for a meal every day, they would be able to eat for at least a week.
That was because there were too many successful projects. Therefore, he could find new reasons to have meals every day …
On the 20th of this month, which was a Sunday, he could eat to his heart's content at Ming Yun Private Kitchen.
Pei Qian felt a little melancholy at that thought.
Although his employees could eat a lot, they could earn even more!
If he were to count on them to eat up all the money that they earned from their respective projects, it would take a long time for them to eat up …
It was really hopeless.
After lunch, the waiter came over to clean up the cutlery. Pei Qian sipped his coffee and looked up at the sky in melancholy.
He increasingly felt that his shallow mathematical knowledge could not satisfy the increasing losses and accounting needs.
All of a sudden, someone sat down opposite him.
It was Boss Li.
The two of them often met in this shop. Thus, Pei Qian did not find it strange.
However, Boss Pei had been in a bad mood recently. Thus, he only nodded casually without saying anything.
However, Boss Li's first sentence stunned Pei Qian.
"Boss Pei, Dream Realization Ventures' combination fist is really brilliant. All the other investors who invested in 'Top Student, Come Quick' and I have no choice but to admit defeat and be ashamed of our inferiority!
"Therefore, I've decided to invest a sum of money around Thriller Hostel even though I can't see any possibility of Thriller Hostel making a profit! If there are no surprises, the others should be voting as well. "
"Boss Pei, you don't mind, right?"
Pei Qian's hand, which was holding the coffee, stopped in mid-air. He was stunned.
"Huh?"
