After fully understanding the gameplay, the viewers in the live broadcast room showed great interest in the game "Bullet 2".
Many people even downloaded it at that time.
But at the same time, many people also expressed deep concerns because of the criminal records of Tianhuo Studio and Longyu Group.
To put it bluntly, these two companies belong to the type of "dogs cannot change and eat shit"!
Let’s not talk about Tianhuo Studio. Ninety-nine percent of the games it makes are krypton-heavy games. They are typical representatives of several domestic companies that “don’t play if you don’t have mines at home.” As a game operating company, Longyu Group can also be called
It is "stained with bad records". Among the games it operates, except ioi, which has to be more conscience due to competitive pressure, other games have also been criticized.
Is it possible that these two game companies have joined forces?
It’s scary to think about it with your feet!
Cheating money and cheating can be said to be a kind of nature, or it can be said to be an addiction. For game companies, once you get into it, you basically can't stop it.
Because Liver and Krypton can indeed directly attract retention and improve online data and revenue data, and the improvement is very obvious.
But the price is that it will greatly reduce the upper limit of the game.
But for most game companies, they have never considered the upper limit?
Anyway, once the retention data and revenue data are raised, the company will make a lot of money, and then some bonuses will be given to employees, and that will be fine.
And once you choose the practice of liver kryptonosis, it will never be possible to quit in the future.
Because if the changes are really made, various data will inevitably plummet, the company's income will plummet, employee bonuses will disappear, and even players may not appreciate it... The entire company will never allow this situation from top to bottom.
Appear.
Therefore, liver kryptonosis will naturally become a habit and continue to be passed down.
It's just like people, once they try ways to make quick money, they no longer have the ability to steadily make slow money and plan for the long term, and the upper limit of the whole person is gone.
Of course, there is no sign of cheating money yet in "Bullet 2".
But...most players don't think this is a change in nature between the two companies.
Many players feel that this is a trap! They are trying to trick the dog into killing him!
Cultivate the leeks first, and then suddenly swing the sickle to cut one by surprise and cut by surprise.
Because everyone feels that it is impossible to change the nature of cheating, so the reason why the game was so conscientious in the early stages of launch must have another agenda.
Although this game was jointly developed with Tenda, after all, it only used Mr. Pei’s ideas and a designer from Tenda!
Tenda must not have put in a lot of effort, otherwise Tenda could just develop it on its own. Why would it give such a good project to Tianhuo Studio and Longyu Group?
Since Tenda doesn't have much involvement, it probably doesn't have a strong say. It will be difficult for Tianhuo Studio and Longyu Group to resist the temptation. As the game becomes more popular, they will gradually increase the price of skins, continue to test players, and increase
Game revenue…
It's hard for players not to think so. This can't be blamed on their dark hearts. The key is that they have seen too many similar things.
You cannot count on the promises of game companies. After all, their first goal is to make money.
But then again, do players have a choice?
No choice!
Because the game mechanism of "Bullet 2" is currently unique among FPS games, there is no similar game either domestically or abroad. Even if players want to find a substitute, they can't find it.
Therefore, even if players are full of worries about Tianhuo Studio and Longyu Group, they can only take it one step at a time.
…
At the same time, Longyu Group headquarters.
Jin Yong is on duty, staring at various game data of "Bullet 2".
These data can no longer be described as "good", they are simply hot!
The influx of a large number of players even caught him a bit off guard. The plan to add servers that he originally planned to use his imagination to make full use of his imagination even seemed a bit conservative. He made a prompt decision and added a few more servers urgently, and even added some unpopular games of Longyu Group that were not under high load.
The server was also temporarily diverted, and it could barely withstand the influx of enthusiastic players.
On major live broadcast platforms and websites, "Bullet Marks 2" has become a hit, and at an unimaginable speed, it has become the most discussed popular game during the Spring Festival!
However, as the head of the operations department, he doesn't have anything special to do. At most, he can just keep an eye on whether there are any emergencies and avoid vicious bugs or operational accidents.
Although working overtime during the Spring Festival holiday was quite hard, Longyu Group was relatively open this time. The overtime pay was fully paid, and bonuses were promised after the game became popular. The entire operation department was both painful and happy.
Jin Yong also very generously used his own money to send Spring Festival red envelopes to all departments, and the overtime work scene was filled with a happy and peaceful atmosphere.
Just then, Jin Yong's phone rang.
His expression instantly became serious. Isn't this Mr. Ding? Why did he call me in person?
Jin Yong didn't dare to neglect and quickly picked up: "Hello? Boss?"
"Well, the data is completely beyond expectations. This is definitely a super hit, and it is likely to reach or even exceed the market share and revenue level of "Sea Fortress"!"
"There is no problem with the server. Although there is a little pressure, I have urgently transferred some from other projects. Others will be considered after the Spring Festival holiday."
"Uh...new operation plan? But boss, Tenda..."
"Okay boss, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Jin Yong's expression was no longer as optimistic as before, but was tangled!
The boss of Longyu Group just briefly asked about the situation of "Bullet Marks 2" at first, but this was obviously a knowing question, because Jin Yong had just sent him a briefing on various data.
After the pleasantries, it’s time to get down to business.
The boss of Longyu Group wants Jin Yong to work overtime to come up with a new operating plan!
According to the old rules, this is understandable. After all, the data is booming after the game is launched. Striking while the iron is hot and doing some activities can not only promote player retention but also increase revenue. This is a routine operation.
But Jin Yong could hear the implication of the boss's words. Obviously, this new operation plan would not be able to get through without some new tricks.
Jin Yong also immediately told Tengda's request, but the boss said that it was not like they would move all the activities over at once, but do it bit by bit.
You don’t need to focus on spending too much money at the beginning. You can slightly increase the skin price, or do some activities that seem to be very cost-effective, but are still essentially cheating.
Although Tenda has requirements for its operation plan, it is impossible to set the requirements so rigidly.
Judging from the operation plan given by Tenda, it clarifies the pricing of various appearances, skins, and props of the current version, and also clarifies the scope of operation activities: only price reductions and discounts, other activities such as paid draws, krypton gold rebates, etc.
, not recommended at all.
But... this plan only stipulates the pricing of the current appearance, and does not lock in the pricing of subsequent appearances.
Moreover, it only said that activities such as paid draws and krypton cash rebates were not recommended, and it did not say that they could not be done at all.
Even if you don’t engage in these activities, can you think of new activities with completely different forms?
Strictly speaking, there are loopholes that can be exploited in these aspects, and they can all be negotiated. There is nothing particularly rigid in the contract.
As the operator of the game, Longyu Group still has some of the most basic rights, and Tenda cannot completely deprive them of them. Longyu Group must be able to handle some emergency matters.
Although the gap space is small, it is still there.
Now the boss of Longyu Group wants Jin Yong to find a way to move around in this gap and increase revenue without arousing fierce opposition from Tenda.
This is considered human nature.
Before "Bullet Trace 2" was launched, no one thought about how popular it would become, so if the operation strategy was more conscientious, no one would have any idea.
But now that the data has come out, when I look back at this operational strategy... I immediately feel a little bit pained.
You must know that for a game of this size, each skin costs only one or two yuan, which may not be a strong perception for players, but for game developers, it may be tens of millions of additional income!
And you have to do it as early as possible. The longer you delay, the more scolding you will get.
Jin Yong naturally knew this very well, so he was confused.
On one side is the boss's request, on the other side is Mr. Zhao's previous teachings to him, and a battle between heaven and man begins in his heart.
Mr. Zhao's words at that time inspired him. He felt that as a game operator, he should really take a long-term view and choose the best operation plan for this game. If "Bullet Marks 2" is only averagely popular, that's all.
There is nothing wrong with engaging in activities to increase revenue, but "Bullet 2" is obviously a game with a high ceiling. At this time, using a conscientious marketing strategy to reach a higher ceiling is the best solution.
But you can’t disobey your boss’s orders!
If Jin Yong directly rejects the boss's request, then he, as the head of the operations department, will stop working. If someone else comes here, he will probably continue to argue with Tenda, and the situation will not change.
He knew very well that the boss would never give up this idea easily.
After all, no one can guarantee where the upper limit of "Bullet 2" is and how long it will take to reach it. However, the short-term data growth brought about by operational activities can be seen and touched.
Jin Yong leaned on his chair and fell into deep thought.
The boss’s dangerous ideas must be countered.
Although as an employee, you should complete the tasks assigned by your boss, but... this incident may directly affect the success or failure of "Bullet Marks 2".
Jin Yong feels that he must have his own thoughts and considerations on this matter, and cannot do everything according to the boss's requirements.
If you fail to do what your boss asks you to do, but succeed in the end, then you will still make a contribution to the company;
But if you do what your boss says and fail in the end, then it is impossible for the boss to take the blame, and it will eventually fall on you.
So, who is more correct? The boss or Tengda’s Mr. Pei?
This is simply a scoring question.
Therefore, the problem now becomes: I must be responsible for the operation plan of "Bullet Marks 2", and I must firmly promote Tenda's operation plan, and at the same time, I must not be caught by the boss.
