There has been a lot of noise about this game on the Internet these days, but Qiao Liang did not participate. He just played the game silently.
Because he knew very well that there was no point in engaging in such an argument.
Emotionally speaking, Qiao Liang is of course on Mr. Pei's side.
Not only because Qiao Liang is Mr. Pei’s friend, but also because he is a hardcore gamer himself.
For these hard-core players, they pursue a more complex and extreme gaming experience. Whether it is the initial puzzle-solving activity or the eye-catching game that activates the purchase rights later, Qiao Liang is very interested in it.
The key depends on how you look at it.
If you think of it as a threshold, a means of dissuading players, it would be really uncomfortable; but if you think of it as a free game, wouldn't it be fine?
"Lonely Desert Highway", "Game Maker", and eye-catching games are all free now, which Qiao Liang thinks is conscientious enough.
Qiao Liang knows very well that as a cultural product, games cannot be liked by everyone.
If some players feel that the manufacturer is a conscientious manufacturer that makes the games I like to play, and if the gameplay is not to my liking, I will abuse them without thinking, then it is definitely unreasonable.
Similarly, this time "be quiet" requires players to complete pre-requisite activities in order to obtain purchase rights. Although it objectively has the effect of dissuading players, this in itself is understandable.
Because Tenda has never promised that "players can purchase our games at will under any circumstances", of course, there is no need to promise.
The relationship between game manufacturers and players is only a two-way screening. Players can choose not to play a certain manufacturer's games, and manufacturers can also choose to give up part of the money in the players' hands, as long as the transaction itself is voluntary and not forced.
When it comes to buying and selling by force, the status of both parties is equal, and no one can morally condemn the other.
What's more, Mr. Pei, a maverick designer, doesn't have the character to kneel down and lick players.
Therefore, from an emotional point of view, Qiao Liang supports Mr. Pei's behavior.
As a manufacturer, we provide players with high-quality games at very favorable prices, and we even made two previous games free. However, we are scolded for setting prerequisites for purchasing the game?
Obviously it doesn't make sense.
However, having said that, Qiao Liang still feels that there is something difficult to understand about this matter.
Although it is entirely the manufacturer's freedom to set this precondition, is it necessary?
What benefits will this move bring to manufacturers?
This is the question that Qiao Liang cannot understand.
At this time, he frowned and was trying to use his understanding of Mr. Pei to answer this puzzle.
"It seems to me that Mr. Pei's behavior is not 'do you want to play or not', but 'if you can't even solve this simple little problem, then you will definitely not be able to have fun in the game, so
You might as well not buy it."
"This feeling seems familiar."
"Where did you see it?"
"..."
"I know! It's in "Return to the Shore"!"
Qiao Liang suddenly realized that the same was true for "Return to the Shore"!
It’s just that one is to persuade you to quit after entering the game, one is to persuade you to quit before entering the game, one is to refund after being abused, and the other is to simply stop paying after being abused.
Mr. Pei’s behavior this time is actually to put the persuasion stage of "Return to the Shore" before purchasing the game!
Qiao Liang suddenly realized.
"Yeah, then everything makes sense!"
"Mr. Pei's move is essentially the same as the operation of "Return to the Shore", but in another form."
"Games are an interactive art. Simply put, designers are the ones who create puzzles, and players are the ones who solve them."
"The essence of hard-core games is that only by giving up can you gain something."
"Abandon those superficial and shallow spiritual pursuits, only then can we obtain the profound and deep spiritual pursuits!"
"Just like "Return to the Shore", first you have to be abused, you have to endure the frustration of dying like a dog, you have to give up the mindless fun of the game, the pleasure of mowing the grass, and calm down to seriously hone your skills."
"After that, you can grow in the game and gain a pleasure that is completely different from other games."
"This is giving and receiving, delaying enjoyment. Without the high difficulty of the game, players would not be able to obtain the pleasure of growth."
"The same is true for the game "be quiet". It is also a game of giving up. First, you have to give up some time, suppress your desire to play the game, think carefully about solving these puzzles, and then you can
Really appreciate the fun of this game.”
"As for why the specific methods of the two games are different..."
"This is obvious. Because "Be Quiet" is a stand-alone game and will not affect other people's gaming experience. "Be Quiet" is an online game."
"If a player who is completely unsuited to this game mode enters this game, it will inevitably interfere with other people's gaming experience."
"In order to ensure that everyone's gaming attitude and gaming IQ are roughly at the same level, to ensure that the vast majority of people can enjoy the game and not have the gaming experience ruined by some teammates who are not adapted to the gameplay, we must treat everyone
Players all undergo a simple 'training'..."
Qiao Liang became more and more certain that he had understood Mr. Pei's true intention!
This is the truth, but to convince everyone, you still need to find some materials in the game.
Moreover, it seems a bit premature to reveal all this now.
On the one hand, he has not fully understood the complex game mechanics of "Be Quiet", and there is currently insufficient video material, so the copywriting will be dry; on the other hand, the controversy over this game has not yet reached its peak.
After thinking about it, Qiao Liang decided to continue playing the game and collecting materials in the past few days.
Next week, he will update a video on "The Work of the Gods" to talk about "be quiet", an unusual online horror game, and the arg game designed by Mr. Pei for promotion.
What a profound meaning!
I believe that by then, many players’ problems with this game and their misunderstandings about Mr. Pei will be solved!
…
…
Monday, March 14th.
Changyou was pacing back and forth in the office, very anxious.
On the mobile phone details page on the official website of otto Technology, the button has changed from "Reservation" to "Purchase".
It seems that it is a good thing that there is no need to snatch the mobile phone, but for Chang You, this is not the case.
Because this also means that mobile phones are somewhat unsaleable!
All the money received from selling mobile phones has been used to replenish the stock. Now Otto Technology can be described as penniless.
If it were any other company, they definitely wouldn't be able to do this.
Chang You knows very well that Otto Technology now relies on a big tree to enjoy the shade, and Mr. Pei is behind it, so he dares to stock up like this.
But it is precisely because of this that Chang You feels even more ashamed of Mr. Pei.
How can we sell these more than 10,000 mobile phones?
However, Mr. Pei specifically told Changyou to just take care of the stocking and leave everything else alone. He could neither proactively consider marketing nor reduce the price of mobile phones.
So much so that Chang You could only sit anxiously in his seat.
He didn't even dare to read the comments online. He was always known as a "big mouth". He originally had excellent psychological quality, but now he couldn't bear the cynicism because he was burdened with Mr. Pei's trust.
Chang You was pacing uneasily in the room when his cell phone rang.
I picked it up and saw that it was Hu Xianbin calling.
Chang You's eyes instantly lit up and he quickly picked it up.
"Mr. Chang, the gog mobile version is going to be officially launched tomorrow. Didn't we agree to cooperate before? Let me remind you." Hu Xianbin's voice came from the phone.
Chang You was overjoyed: "Okay, no problem! I immediately ordered them to follow the plan I prepared before!"
Hu Xianbin added: "I just had a phone call with Director Lin of Yangyang Games. They had been busy with the development of "Be Quiet" and had little time. Now they should have prepared promotional activities for "War Song". You
You can call and ask, and we can update together tomorrow."
Chang You hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I'll ask right away!"
After hanging up the phone, Chang You directly dialed Lin Wan's number and received a positive reply. The people at Yangyang Games had already prepared a promotional event for Otto mobile phones in the game "Hot Blooded War Song".
Chang You felt a lot more at ease in his heart, and at the same time he felt lightly moved.
Tengda is really a warm family!
What is Tenda’s core competitiveness? In the final analysis, it is still games!
The game business is the guarantee for Tenda to settle down and is also the foundation for all other businesses.
Changyou knows very well that for Mr. Pei, Moyu Internet Cafe, Headwind Logistics, Otto Mobile... these businesses can all lose money, but games cannot lose money!
And this time, being able to win over Gog, a new game from Tenda's gaming department, to develop an exclusive high frame rate mode for its mobile phone is a reassurance for Changyou.
Chang You immediately notified his subordinates to replace all the promotional materials that he had prepared before!
For example, a large page is added to the product details page of the otto e1 mobile phone: Tenda's new game "Glory of God" is designated for gog mobile phones, with exclusive in-depth optimization and ultra-high frame rate mode, bringing you an unprecedented and hearty gaming experience!
These promotional materials have been prepared early in the morning, but cannot be taken out beforehand.
Because gog has not been developed yet, this information cannot be disclosed.
But now, I can finally take it out and use it!
In fact, the PC version of Gog is still under development and testing, but Li Yada had already decided before going on the trip that the mobile version of Gog would be released first.
At present, the functions of the mobile game version and the client game version are not completely synchronized. The mobile game version has slightly less content and can be launched one week in advance.
At the same time, making the mobile game version first can also be a good way to avoid ioi's current strong position in the PC game field.
Changyou was originally looking forward to whether Lin Wan could make "be quiet" into a mobile game, but Lin Wan said that there was not enough research and development time, and it would be difficult to change the operating mode of "be quiet" to a mobile game.
, so we can only give up for now.
Changyou even hoped to move all successful games such as "Sea Fortress" to the mobile game platform, but he gave up because both Tenda Games and Yangyang Games could not spare the manpower.
But Chang You is not in a hurry. Anyway, it’s Tengda’s game. If you change it early and change it later, you will be the one who gets the advantage.
Now, although only "War Song" and gog can provide exclusive optimization and high frame rate mode, it is enough.
Due to some historical issues, there are still a large number of hidden rich people in "War Song", and their daily purchasing power is extremely suppressed, because it is difficult to spend money in this game.
If you put an advertisement for Otto mobile phone in the game, someone will definitely be interested!
After everything was arranged, Chang You didn't panic anymore.
He seemed to understand a little bit why Mr. Pei had been stressing to him not to do marketing or reduce prices by himself, but to seize the time and stock up like crazy.
Because soon, Otto mobile phones will usher in a sales explosion!
