Chapter 364 Is there an award like the Best Effort Award?
Chapter 364 Is there such an award as the “Effort Effort Award”?
The miracle didn't happen.
Three days later.
"Martial Arts Cultivation Simulator" sold 30,000 copies and refunded 15,000 copies.
Evaluation: Mixed reviews (51% positive rating)
It can be said to be a shattering start.
Liang Sepi has almost settled his funeral arrangements in the past few days.
Also fixed a few bugs by the way.
The price of the game is set by Mr. Pu, a high price of 79 yuan.
The investment is a fraction of the previous game, and the price is 30 yuan more expensive than the previous game. This is no longer a bold move by talented people, but rather the players are being slaughtered as their grievances.
Liang Sepi initially objected to Mr. Pu’s pricing, thinking it was a bit too high. Their gameplay was very rich, but the picture quality that could be seen was not at the level of 79 yuan, but Mr. Pu insisted!
And he showed enough confidence, claiming that it is so expensive that players will not play it if they like it!
Now seeing half of the refund rate, Liang Sepi smiled bitterly.
"The price is too high. If users don't find it fun, the refund rate will be ridiculously high, Mr. Pu."
However, now it is said that this is useless. Even if the price is lower and the user refund rate is reduced, it is still a pounce. It is nothing more than a smaller loss. For Mr. Pu, this project has failed.
It's time for him to leave.
"Liang Sepi! Come to my office!"
Mr. Pu's voice came from his office.
Liang Sepi's hands shook slightly, and then he sighed.
What was supposed to come came.
He glanced at the colleagues around him, especially the three supervisors to whom he handed over the subsequent modifications and development, and nodded silently.
The three of them nodded in response, with tears glistening faintly.
An emotional female designer suddenly stood up: "Manager Liang, how about we go together?"
Liang Sepi waved his hand.
"No, just do your own thing. Someone has to take responsibility for it."
He turned around and entered Mr. Pu's office.
Two words seem to be written on the back: The wind is rustling and the water is cold. A strong man will never return once he is gone!
Boss's office.
Mr. Pu looked at the steam sales, and the corners of his mouth were raised to the sky.
After the sales of these 15,000 copies are divided and taxes are paid, the number in the hands of Duoyu Company is only over 600,000. And judging from the "mixed reviews", players who want to buy it in the future need to think carefully.
The most important thing is that this game is not very popular, and no one recommends it for 3 days.
The sales of new games are often the highest in the past few days after they are released, so obviously this wave has stabilized!
"Okay! Okay! Good attack!"
Finally, something about the company went exactly according to his plan!
From the beginning of this project, they were given five strategies to fight against the enemy. A total of 1 million was invested, which cost the entire game department time and prevented them from making DLC and sequels to "Strike Goddess Simulator". As expected, they lost money in the end!
Although the loss was not much, it held back the entire department and did not allow them to make money, which is a good thing!
This is a small step for the company to lose money, but a big step for Mr. Pu’s personal progress!
Worth celebrating!
I must call Liang Sepi in and give me a good compliment!
"Squeak~"
The door opened.
Mr. Pu saw Liang Sepi who was mourning for his heir.
Sepi's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Mr. Pu, the failure of this game is due to my personal decision-making error. I overestimated our capabilities. I will bear the consequences alone."
"Huh!? Are you responsible for this alone?" Mr. Pu put away his smile and looked serious.
Liang Sepi nodded sharply: "Yes! It's all my fault. I arranged for them to work. Mr. Pu, just do whatever you want to do to me!"
He was ready to be kicked out by the "angry" Mr. Pu.
As Mr. Pu who pursues perfection, he has never lost money once since he started his business. He has become an exception. He still pounced despite Mr. Pu's guidance.
It's obviously a matter of his ability.
As long as he doesn't implicate the brothers who have been secretly working overtime with him these past few months.
It doesn’t matter if I don’t get paid this month!
Mr. Pu said with a straight face: "Can you afford it alone? All the bonuses of so many people are given to you? Have you asked your colleagues?"
"Of course, I'll wait alone? Bonus? What bonus?"
Liang Sepi was stunned. He seemed confused. He just heard the word "bonus" from Mr. Pu's mouth.
Mr. Pu walked over and patted Liang Sepi on the shoulder: "Of course it's a bonus for the game department! You have been working hard for the company for several months, and I can see your hard work. Although the sales of your works are average for the time being, you can't
Deny your efforts! Therefore, in order to reassure everyone, I am going to issue separate hard-effort awards to the game department!
You did exactly what I said and tried your best. It’s the players who don’t understand you! This is not your fault! It’s the loss of those players who missed out on our game!”
After listening to Mr. Pu's words, Liang Sepi was petrified.
There are also awards like "Effort Effort Award"???
Isn't this a special term for deceiving superiors?
After you fail to do a good job, you have nothing to say except that you tried your best.
Hey Hey hey!
I don’t think you deserve praise, Mr. Pu. You just gave me an award!
It’s too casual!
You made me want to take a paternity test after get off work to see if you are my half-brother!
Mr. Pu ignored Liang Sepi, who was in a rich state of mind, and said to himself: "I haven't thought about the amount of the bonus yet. I will wait until the company's bill comes out next month to send it to you, but tonight to celebrate our project
fail."
Seeing the question mark on Liang Sepi's face, Mr. Pu immediately changed his mind and said: "To celebrate the end of our project, we have to build a team together even if it fails, and sum up the experience! Try to make another one in the future. It's a good game."
"Okay, Mr. Pu."
Liang Sepi felt that it still sounded a bit awkward.
Why do you think there is something in Mr. Pu’s words?
But when Liang Sepi looked at Mr. Pu’s smiling face, he seemed really not angry, even
At this moment, the boss has already made arrangements, and he can't say anything.
He can only represent himself, and cannot be generous for the employees who are working together below, saying that he doesn’t want bonuses, etc. That is really a saint.
Liang Sepi walked out of Mr. Pu's office, thoughtfully.
Outside, people in the game adaptation department are already anxious!
They knew what the manager was doing when he was called in at this time. He alone had to bear Mr. Pu’s wrath!
Liang Sepi was directly promoted by Mr. Pu from junior high school. He has always had a very good relationship with everyone and has no airs. His personal expertise is also very high. People in the game adaptation department don’t want him to leave, but that’s not what they said.
Calculated.
If a project is messed up, someone will always take the blame.
But they had already prepared measures. After Mr. Pu finished speaking, they collectively went to Mr. Pu to intercede and were willing to bear the punishment together. Even if they were fined each of them a month's salary, they still had to keep Manager Liang.
This matter was conspired by three supervisors and had been communicated to everyone in advance, and no one objected.
Seeing Liang Sepi walking out of Mr. Pu's room in a "lost state", the three supervisors took the lead in charging!
Before Liang Sepi could react, three managers from the game adaptation department were already rushing into Mr. Pu's office.
He looked at the group of people in the game adaptation department in confusion: "What are you doing?"
"Please help you! We are ready. Our game department will advance and retreat together! We will be punished together! No one needs to top the tank!"
"Damn it! You made a mistake! Mr. Pu didn't fire me!"
Liang Sepi grabbed the clothes of the three supervisors.
"We even want to give bonuses to our department. By the way, let's prepare for the team building tonight."
