Chapter 1,296 Lin Feng’s Birthday

Not long after, the heads of the top ten game development departments of the "Second World", the two heads of the hardware development department "amd" and "ati", as well as the marketing department, publicity department and other major departments arrived one after another.

"Hello, Director Lin!"

"Hi boss!"

"Lin, okay!"

...

All kinds of shouts suddenly filled the conference room on the 99th floor of the "Light of the Century".

"Haha, I haven't seen you for a long time. You miss me so much!" Lin Feng said hello, imitating Feng Gong's voice.

It has been two years since everyone came to China. Naturally, they have also watched the Chinese New Year Gala. Naturally, they are very familiar with Feng Gong's signature greeting. At that moment, there was a burst of laughter. Lin Feng and many ministers had not seen each other for months.

The feeling of unfamiliarity disappeared in the laughter.

"Okay, everyone, let's get to the point." Lin Feng coughed a few times to quiet down everyone.

"Boss, the first thing is about "World of Warcraft"." Wu Zhaopu felt bitter when he mentioned "World of Warcraft".

"By the way, what happened to "World of Warcraft"? Didn't it mean that the global open beta was launched on March 8? Women who celebrated Women's Day on this day were allowed to travel while men played games to their heart's content. What's going on now? I'm here

It seems that the United States has not seen the launch of World of Warcraft." Lin Feng asked in surprise.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they all sighed.

"Boss, you have to ask Mike Mohuaimi, the director of our ninth game development department, about this!" Wu Zhaopu snorted through gritted teeth.

Lin Feng frowned slightly when he heard this, and looked at Mike Mo Huaimi. He had a bitter look on his face and did not comment on Wu Zhaopu's words.

It seems that the news that Wu Zhaopu falsely spread about internal discord in the company may not be groundless.

"What's going on, Mike, can you tell me? What's going on with "World of Warcraft" now?" Lin Feng asked.

Seeing Lin Feng's question, Mike Mo Huaimi, who originally seemed indifferent, suddenly straightened up. He could ignore Wu Zhaopu, but he didn't dare to neglect Lin Feng.

"Lin, it's actually not a big deal. It's just that World of Warcraft is not perfect enough, so it hasn't been released until now. Vice President Wu is a little too nervous and uses chicken feathers as an arrow." Mike Mohuaimei said disdainfully.

.

Lin Feng frowned even more and then looked at Wu Zhaopu.

"Boss, on March 8th, "World of Warcraft" was fully open to the public, but Minister Mike Mowaimi personally promised it, and the company also carried out comprehensive publicity according to this date. As a result, on March 1st, one week later, Mike

-Minister Mo Huaimi told me that the public beta of "World of Warcraft" will be postponed. You said that it has reached this juncture, and all aspects of publicity have been in place. The result is that it cannot be put into public beta. Isn't this a disappointment to the players? In the end, Mike Mohuai and I

After the discussion, Minister Mi said that the public beta would definitely be available on March 18th, but on March 17th, he said it would be postponed. As a result, he kept promising players the public beta date, and kept delaying it until April.

There is no open beta yet." Wu Zhaopu said angrily.

Lin Feng looked at Mike Mo Huaimi. Although his lips moved, he did not make a sound. It was obvious that Wu Zhaopu was telling the truth.

"Mike, is this really the case?" Although Lin Feng knew that Wu Zhaopu would not deceive him, he still wanted to ask again.

"Lin, this is indeed the case. But we agreed at the beginning that if the game is not perfect, we can postpone it. I have not violated our agreement. Besides, players will not accept an imperfect game. We at Blizzard

The purpose has always been this - Blizzard products must be high-quality products," said Mike Mowaimi.

Bill Robb, the tenth director of game development department (formerly the vice president of Blizzard North Studios), looked in agreement. But the other eight game development department heads looked disdainful. Indeed, your "Blizzard" games are very

It’s fun, but Blizzard’s games are not the only ones in the world that are high-quality. For example, the company’s “Invincible Heroes” and “Half-Life” are not the best games.

At this moment, Lin Feng finally understood. Apparently, these people from the original "Blizzard" company had committed the same old habit again. Lin Feng originally hoped that they could change this habit after they came to his "second world", but the result remained the same.

Although its spirit and attitude in ensuring game quality are right, procrastinating like this is a blow to the company's reputation. And as far as the company's own interests are concerned, it cannot maximize its profits.

"Mike, the pursuit of game quality is an attitude that each of us gamers should have, so I very much agree with your pursuit of game quality." Lin Feng first praised.

"But one thing, Mike, I hope you can change in the future is that once you make a promise to a player, you must fulfill it. If you can't guarantee that it will be completed within the planned time, then don't make a promise to the outside world. You must know that the players are ours.

Food and clothing, without the support of players, we are nothing." Lin Feng said cautiously to Mike Mowaimi.

Mike Mowaimi frowned. He didn't quite agree with Lin Feng's words. In his opinion, as long as a good enough game is developed, there is no need to worry about players not buying it. There's no harm in delaying it occasionally.

Regarding Mike Mowaimi's attitude, Lin Feng knew that he could not correct it for a while, and could only help him correct it slowly in the future.

"Okay, Mike, tell me the truth, when will "World of Warcraft" be released for public beta?" Lin Feng asked.

"Lin, April 28th, the public beta should be available on this day." Mike Mowaimi thought for a while and said.

Lin Feng frowned slightly, this day was a good day.

"Okay, let's set the global open beta on April 28th!" Lin Feng made the decision.

"Mr. Wu, we announced to the public that "World of Warcraft" will be officially launched for public beta on the 28th of this month. We will never delay it again to let players go. One day later, our company will compensate all players who registered "World of Warcraft" accounts in advance 100 yuan.

RMB!" Lin Feng said with great pride.

Scared! What! One day late, registered players will be compensated 100 yuan. You know, there are currently more than one million players in the world. Once this news is released, I am afraid there will be hundreds of millions of accounts registered for "World of Warcraft" around the world.

And based on the tradition of delayed tickets for "World of Warcraft", if the tickets were delayed for another ten days and a half this time, the "Second World" alone would have to pay very little.

"Don't worry, we won't skip the ticket this time." Sensing the attention of everyone, Mike Mowaimi quickly patted his chest and promised. Although they have a tradition of skipping the ticket, in the face of this situation, there is no way they can skip the ticket.

of.

"Also, Mr. Wu announced that everyone on their birthday on April 28th will receive a mysterious gift from the game "World of Warcraft"." Lin Feng chuckled.

Why is this? - Everyone was stunned. Although "World of Warcraft" was released for public beta today, there was no need to give players mysterious birthday gifts. After all, there must be a lot of games released every year after the "Second World", so it would be hard to give them away like this.

no.
