Obviously, in this matter, Eric is the best candidate to take the blame.
Although there are certain changes in the data in other regions, after all, there is not such a big gap in the number of players between the two games.
During the event, the data of ioi increased first and then dropped. This can actually be explained as a normal phenomenon in the event. Just like the passenger flow surges when a supermarket has a discount, the passenger flow will inevitably drop sharply after the discount.
In short, people in charge of other regions of ioi can find a lot of rhetoric, and everyone's interests are basically the same.
Due to various considerations, the senior management of the group did not take action against this activity, so everyone should bear the responsibility together. If other regions messed up a little, they would not be held accountable by the higher ups.
But the situation here in Greater China is different.
There is a huge difference in the number of people playing GOG and ioi games here, so the data changes are also particularly obvious. Compared with the data in other regions, it is too eye-catching and cannot be fooled.
Moreover, the plan for this joint event was also submitted by Eric.
Is there any more suitable person to take the blame than Eric?
Although Eric thought in an idealistic way before, he felt that he was just a mouthpiece and did not need to make decisions on many things, and naturally did not need to take responsibility.
But he obviously thought wrong: many times, a microphone will naturally become a blame-bearer. After all, a microphone is dispensable, and it is natural to use it to take the blame.
Pei Qian was completely speechless.
Tragic, too tragic!
Although Eric himself was willing to admit defeat and did not complain too much, Pei Qian thought about it carefully and found that since he met Eric, this guy seems to have been memorizing words...
At first, he was still a high-level executive in Dayak Group's media business. He was parachuted to Zhidou Company and served as the person in charge of ioi Greater China. He was supposed to be able to show off his talents.
However, things started off badly as soon as they started, and they struggled for a long time with no improvement.
After being jerked off for the first time, Eric lay dormant for a while and finally made a comeback. As a result, it didn't take long before he was jerked off again.
Although Eric hasn't said it clearly yet, Pei Qian can probably guess his fate.
I definitely can’t be the person in charge of the Greater China Region, and I won’t be fired directly. But I probably won’t be responsible for the work related to Zhitou Company and ioi anymore.
The most likely possibility is to be demoted symbolically and go back to your old job.
But Pei Qian couldn't do anything.
You can't go to the Dayak Group to beg Eric and let him continue to be the person in charge of the Greater China Region, right?
Wouldn't that further confirm the inappropriate relationship between the two?
Pei Qian thought for a moment and said, "Before you leave, would you like to come to Jingzhou again? May I treat you to a meal?"
Eric thought for a while: "Okay, I have a ticket for the day after tomorrow. I'll take the high-speed train to Jingzhou today and come back tomorrow night. It's quite late."
Pei Qian was very happy: "Okay, then say hello to me before you come, and I will arrange for someone to receive you!"
You should be a little kinder to your good brothers.
If it weren't for Eric, ioi wouldn't have spent so much money with GOG for so long. I don't know how many settlement cycles there were. Pei Qian relied on this to survive.
Without ioi's help, Pei Qian would have gone crazy because of the money earned from GOG.
But the good brother also burned himself in his selfless dedication and became a scapegoat.
Pei Qian is a loyal man, how could he let his good brother bleed and shed tears?
After saying goodbye, I don’t know when we will see each other again.
No matter how poor Pei Qian is, he can still afford a full meal, not to mention the system will reimburse him.
…
At the same time, Bao Xu came to Tenda Game Department.
"Brother Bao is back?"
"Hello, Brother Bao!"
As one of the oldest employees in the game department, Bao Xu has a good relationship with these people, and many of them are saying hello to him.
Unlike those in charge who tremble when they see Bao Xu, these ordinary employees are not that afraid of him.
Those in charge are the ones who suffer the hardships of traveling. What does this have to do with us handymen?
Even though many people had voted for Bao Xu, they were all secret ballots, and Bao Xu could not find out who voted and who did not vote at the specific time.
So no one is worried about being caught by Bao Xu and suffering the hardships of traveling.
Under this situation, everyone's attitude towards Bao Xu was relatively friendly.
After greeting everyone, Bao Xu came to his work station.
Hmm...I don't know why, but I feel like I'm in another world.
Now Tenda Game Department has many vacant workstations, but some personal belongings have been retained, and the computers have not been formatted or reinstalled.
For example, Huang Sibo's workstation, Lu Mingliang's workstation, Lin Wan's workstation, Li Yada's workstation...
Among them, Lin Wan's work station is particularly special. Although she is currently at Chixing Studio, she has a used work station in the Tenda Game Department and a used work station in Yangyang Games.
The purpose of retaining workstations is to allow every Tengda employee who leaves to come back and visit often. This is their forever home.
But Bao Xu always felt that the empty seats were like tombstones...
Of course, this may just be an illusion.
Pulling up a chair, Bao Xu began to discuss "Ghost General 2" with Yu Fei.
During this time, Yu Fei has compiled some information, mainly the original paintings and settings of various generals, and also downloaded some classic fighting games on his computer, such as "Boxing Fighter".
But so far, there is not much progress.
If you just play it for a while, you will only understand some superficial knowledge, which will not be of any help to the design of the game.
Yu Fei has made great progress in sorting out all the original paintings of heroes in the game "Ghost General" and carefully studying their character profiles and biographies.
Well... I have to say that the person who wrote the background of this story is really talented.
Of course, to be more precise, "Ghost General" does not have a game plot or story background, only the characters of each military commander.
But through the character design of military commanders and some historical events of the Three Kingdoms, you can still figure out a lot of things.
Yu Fei was very curious about the original author of "Ghost General", and after asking some old employees in the game department, he found out that it was a joint masterpiece of the two Mr. Ma.
The first Mr. Ma is called Ma Yang, the first employee of Tenda and Mr. Pei’s right-hand man. He was responsible for many important projects such as Moyu Internet Cafe, Yuanmeng Venture Capital, and E-Sports Club. It is said that he is an investment genius motivated by interest.
The most outstanding investment case is the investment in Zhidou Company, which earned 500 million from one investment.
Recently, Mr. Ma should be in charge of the Tuwei live broadcast, which is also very effective.
Although Mr. Ma's work has little to do with writing, his original random play gave the game "Ghost General" a soul. It can be said that the writing was born by nature and was accidentally acquired by a good hand.
The second Mr. Ma is an old acquaintance of Yu Fei. After all, Ma Yiqun is the person in charge of the Chinese website of Dingmin, and Yu Fei himself is the author of the Chinese website of Dingmin and is an outstanding member of the inspiration class.
It is said that Ma Yiqun also worked in Tenda Game Department before, and re-edited the background introductions of all the generals in "Ghost General", and also re-wrote the background introductions for a series of new generals added later.
On the basis of retaining this unique style, the content was filled in and expanded, and then the entire story background of "Ghost General" was generally determined.
Yu Fei suddenly felt that he was very proud to be responsible for this project.
This is standing on the shoulders of giants!
Although my surname is not Ma, I can't make up the "Three Horses" legend, but that's not important. The key is to provide players with a satisfying game.
In terms of plot, Yu Fei is still very confident.
After all, the plot of "Eternal Fall into Reincarnation" was highly praised by Mr. Pei, and the game was also produced and received a good response.
In terms of plot, "Ghost General 2" should have a lot of room for improvement.
The key lies in how the gameplay is designed.
Bao Xu sat next to Yu Fei and seriously considered how to help.
In fact, he already had a rough idea, but he couldn't tell Yu Fei directly. This was something that Mr. Pei specifically emphasized: to let Yu Fei think independently, Bao Xu only served as an inspiration.
But to what extent is it actually inspired? This is a technical job, and too much is not enough.
If you say too much, it will definitely have an impact; if you say too little, it will have no effect.
After thinking about it, Bao Xu decided to start with the characteristics of fighting games, briefly talk about some common sense issues that are very basic but easily overlooked, and then slowly expand on this basis to help Yu Fei successfully complete the entire design.
.
"Fighting games are actually games with quite unique fun. If you are a veteran player of "Return to the Shore", you may think that action games have some similarities with fighting games, but in fact, from the perspective of fighting game enthusiasts,
The difference is huge."
"Mr. Pei has repeatedly emphasized that what he is designing this time is a fighting game, so he will definitely not agree to make it an alternative version of "Return to the Shore", because that would be tantamount to misalignment and overlap with existing games.
.”
Yu Fei listened carefully and nodded frequently.
He did make such a suggestion in a meeting before, considering whether "Ghost General" could be made into a third-person follow-up perspective similar to "Back to the Shore", but he was immediately rejected by Mr. Pei.
Now listening to Bao Xu say this, his idea is indeed not in line with President Pei's requirements.
Bao Xu continued: "Fighting games are games that look relatively simple, but are actually very difficult to operate."
"If you can't train systematically and in a targeted manner, you won't be able to improve no matter how long you play, and you won't be able to experience the fun at all."
"You must continue to perform repetitive and boring exercises, play against people whose level is higher than yourself, and be abused repeatedly, in order to improve and have fun."
"Maybe on the surface it looks similar to "Return to the Shore", both are suffering, but in fact there are big differences. One is PVP and the other is PVE."
"The main fun of "Return to the Shore" lies in PVE. The key to defeating the BOSS lies in the back. As long as you can remember all the moves and actions of the BOSS, and then know how to choose targeted strategies to deal with it, you can always win."
"Although this type of game can also have PVP content, the fun of fighting is completely different from that of PVE. You should know this very well."
"Fighting games, on the other hand, mainly focus on PVP. Backboards are useless because each opponent has different habits. Fighting relies more on seeing tricks, which is hard power."
