In Mickford's game development department, several developers came to the department head's office to submit their resignations.
These people are all the elite backbones of the development department. They have strong game development capabilities and have participated in the development of many high-quality games.
The department head frowned: "Why? Are you not satisfied with the salary?"
"No, it's not this reason, it's other reasons."
Their expressions were slightly unnatural.
But soon they became determined again.
"Other reasons? I think...well, I think I know."
The department head wanted to ask first, but soon he seemed to realize something.
Then he sighed, put away the resignations of these employees and said: "This still needs to go through some procedures, so don't leave in a hurry, okay?"
"We will all complete the resignation process in accordance with the regulations. We just don't want to work in this company anymore."
The department head gently comforted the employees and then watched them leave.
Then the department head took these resignations and left the office.
As soon as he walked out of the office, he noticed some people sticking their heads out to look at him, seemingly observing his next movements.
But when he came out and looked at the workstation, they immediately retracted to their respective workstations and were busy with work that didn't seem to exist.
Recently... all game development has been put on hold.
Originally, Mickford's game development department still had about three or four games under development.
But morale has been really low lately.
The main reason for this downturn comes from some rumors from the outside world.
Originally, it was only circulated among the people, but gradually more and more people started talking about it, and Mickford has become a laughing stock in the eyes of many people.
All this is because of the game whose reputation is slowly turning around.
Infinite world.
This company broke away from Mickford and turned to the video games of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
The department head regretted it a bit.
If he had been tougher back then, stood with the developer and insisted on continuing to develop the infinite world, then maybe it would have been a good result.
But now there is no if.
He walked with heavy steps to Myron Case's office.
"Please come in."
Hearing a knock on the door, Myron Keys asked someone to enter, while he continued to contact the supplier attentively.
"I said, the price of this chip must be reduced by another ten percent."
"This is absolutely impossible, Mr. Myron Keyes. We are already selling at a loss. If it drops further, I cannot explain to our shareholders."
Myron Keys shook his head: "That's not what I need to care about. This chip is dispensable for us, but it is a very rare order for you, so you must lower the price enough for me to
I will buy it, but you can rest assured that when the sales volume reaches a certain level, you will make a profit later, and it will be a huge profit."
"Seriously, I can't leave uncertainty to the future."
Myron Keyes also said simply: "Then you think about it, don't talk about it, I have other business to do, and several suppliers are contacting me."
"I……"
Myron Keys hung up the supplier's call very simply, and then looked at the head of the game development department who walked in.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with you?" Myron Keys asked.
"Boss, a dozen game development employees are preparing to submit their resignations today."
"Hmm? A dozen? Why are there so many?"
Myron Keys was a little surprised.
"Um, haven't you seen any news about video games recently?"
"I don't pay much attention to this. Video games only need to make money. Why are you watching the news? Is there any news about Yuxing Electronic Entertainment?"
"No, it's not the trend of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, but it does have something to do with Yuxing Electronic Entertainment."
"What is the specific content?" Myron Keys became more patient when he heard that it was related to Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
"One of our previous games was invested in their group and became their work."
"Oh, I seem to remember, this game... is called... what is it called?"
"It's called the infinite world."
"Yes, it is an infinite world. So what happened to this infinite world?"
"Now the sales of this game are very good, and the recent sales data have sold over one million copies."
"A million copies? Are you kidding me? Can that game sell another million copies? Isn't that game already completely drained of its commercial value?"
"Well, this game is constantly undergoing game updates, adding a lot of content to the originally empty game, making the game more fun, and then players are willing to buy and play it."
"How can it still be like this?"
Myron Keys was a little surprised.
"So these updates are chargeable?"
"No, there is no charge, all updates are free."
"Then the price of the game has increased?"
"No, it's on sale at a discount. The price is more than 70% lower than the original price. It's only $7 now."
"That's it?"
Myron Keys found it a little funny.
“Isn’t this making money at a loss?”
"This...it seems to be true now."
"Then what's there to care about? Even if we sell another one million copies, two million copies for $7 will only be worth 14 million, and the cost of subsequent free updates will be more than that, right?"
"This... we can't investigate it."
"Youxing Electronic Entertainment is really incomprehensible. Oh, by the way, you just said that a dozen of our people have resigned. Is this related to the infinite world?"
"Yes, because there have been a lot of rumors on the Internet recently, all of which are mocking us."
"Just ridicule, what's the big deal?"
Myron Keys doesn't care.
What he cares more about is his main products, smartphones, personal PCs, and game console product lines are all ranked second.
It doesn't matter if video games and game consoles are criticized as worthless, as long as they make money.
Myron Keys has a very paranoid insistence on what he pursues, but he will completely ignore or even look down upon anything that he is not interested in.
Even now, his attitude towards games has not completely changed.
Video games are just a tool for him to make money.
As long as the tool performs its intended function, don't worry about the rest.
"The key is that this taunt has made our employees somewhat defensive, and they are no longer willing to work in our company."
After saying that, the department head placed all a dozen resignation letters on Myron Keyes' desk.
