Chapter 596 The nirvana month of failure experience
The matches on both sides will be played one by one according to the normal schedule.
However, the more Pei Qian looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong.
The popularity gap between the two sides is becoming more and more obvious!
At the beginning, there were still a lot of viewers on ioi, but as the game progressed, the number of viewers became smaller and less popular, and gradually everyone went to gog!
Even Pei Qian himself couldn't help but want to defect. Even if he put away his phone, he still wanted to see how the battle was going on over there.
After pinching his nose and watching a few ioi games, Pei Qian discovered a problem.
The level of this competition is really not good!
On the one hand, ioi's game mechanics are relatively backward, and the heroes have no affinity with the audience; on the other hand, the levels of these teams are indeed uneven, and the games played are not much different from those in high-scoring rankings.
Although it can be watched, the team's coordination is very poor, and the game is obviously not like a whole team, but like five passers-by.
It would be okay if there was no competition on gog's side, but the two sides would hold the competition together and the outcome would be decided!
Most of the audience was originally more inclined to gog, but they only came to watch ioi because of the "Chinese-foreign competition" gimmick. However, after watching a few games, they found it boring and quickly defected.
This rebellion will never come back!
What's more, there are still two or five people jumping sideways repeatedly in the two live broadcast rooms, pulling away a large number of viewers from the ioi live broadcast room.
On live broadcast websites, the popularity of the two waxes and wanes, and the changes are very obvious.
What's even more outrageous is that Pei Qian discovered that there were people sneaking out of the scene!
After all, the tickets are very cheap, half sold and half given away, so you won’t feel bad if you leave early.
These people obviously felt that the game was not fun to watch and sitting here was a waste of time, so they left one after another.
Pei Qian almost wanted to vomit blood.
Don’t leave! Stay and continue watching!
He really wanted to speak out like this, but he knew very well that no matter how much he spoke, it would be useless. The players would vote with their feet.
Pei Qian sighed and leaned on his seat with mixed emotions.
Although the competition will officially end tomorrow, judging from the current situation, I am afraid that the outcome is already doomed and there is no way to reverse it.
How can this be fixed?
…
…
July 24, Sunday.
Pei Qian didn't go to watch the game today because the outcome was already determined. If he went to watch it again, it would be nothing more than being whipped one more time.
Last night, Pei Qian browsed the forum for a long time and looked at the players' comments on the two games. Sure enough, there was no luck.
The popularity of the competition was completely dampened!
So many players feel sorry for ioi.
"I feel really sad to see the popularity of ioi competitions declining. The organizers must have spent a lot of money on early promotions, but now the results are good. All the players they attracted have become as popular as gog!"
"Yes, there are examples around me of die-hard ioi fans switching to gog..."
"There is no way, gog is still too strong, mobile games and client games are interoperable, the game mechanics are fun, even professional games are better than ioi!"
"ioi is really miserable."
"It stands to reason that if a successful foreign game enters the domestic market, the quality of the game itself is excellent, the updates are fast, and the operation activities are also very strong. Is there any reason why it should not be popular?"
"Well, that would be the case without Tengda."
"Actually, the ioi national server didn't make a single move wrong. If the opponent wasn't gog, they would have pushed it long ago. However, gog is really too perverted. They crowdfund games, promote Internet cafes, hold competitions... plus the latest
The initial two-terminal interoperability and season settlement rewards have already taken the lead in seizing the market, and every attack of ioi has been perfectly resolved. It is really too strong!"
"Mr. Pei is a genius in operations."
"Indeed, Mr. Pei can't win with his own hands."
"Wait a minute, isn't ioi run by Tenda? It seems that Yangyang Games is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tenda, right?"
"Hey, do you understand the difference between closeness and distance? Do you understand the tactics of raising gu? Now you still can't tell where Mr. Pei is standing?"
"Indeed, Mr. Pei definitely prefers gog. This is his biological son."
Pei Qian felt very tired after seeing these comments.
Where do I stand?
Of course I am on ioi's side! Needless to say!
However, let alone the players, even the people at Yangyang Games may not believe this.
Pei Qian was helpless. It seemed that this matter was a failure.
But if you think on the bright side...
Will ioi national server be able to stop losing money in the future?
Although it is unlikely that Lin Wan will leave Tengda to inherit the family business, after all this trouble, the outcome in the domestic market has been decided. If he continues to spend money on ioi, will he be able to happily waste his money?
Pei Qian feels that people have to adapt to changes.
Since ioi really can't be helped, it seems good to change its thinking and make it a tool for losing money!
…
While thinking about the next countermeasures, Pei Qian came to the cafe and listened to Qiu Hong's failure experience.
So far, Qiu Hong has shared several failed experiences.
Project management is chaotic.
The boss or other external force intervenes.
Unable to discover talents.
Common sense deviation and poor communication.
The voices within the R&D team are not unified.
It has to be said that these failure experiences are all expressed by Qiu Hong from the bottom of his heart.
According to him, if any one of them is involved, project development will encounter difficulties; if two of them are involved, the research and development work will be stuck in the quagmire; if three of them are involved, it will be hell on earth.
But Pei Qian discovered that these fatal problems had been miraculously solved within Tenda!
This is so fucking outrageous.
Just like in a race, everyone starts from the starting line. Pei Qian found that he seemed to be standing at the finish line as soon as he started.
But the key point is, he really wants to run back!
All in all, very stiff.
Among all the failed experiences, Pei Qian felt that only "the voices within the R&D team were not unified" and he could try to take advantage of it, but he still had no idea how to take advantage of it.
I can only hope that Qiu Hong can share a more useful failure experience with himself today.
Qiu Hong took a sip of coffee and observed "Ma Yang's" expression: "Mr. Ma, looking at your expression, it seems that you are feeling mixed."
Pei Qian nodded: "Yes."
This is indeed true, but the things of "happiness" and "sorrow" are completely reversed.
Qiu Hong smiled: "Nine times out of ten, life will be unsatisfactory, so Mr. Ma shouldn't take it too seriously."
"The failure experience I want to talk about today is iteration."
Pei Qian instantly became more energetic.
This seems to be a failure experience that can be directly used!
The so-called iteration is actually an updated version.
Like many games that are updated from 1.0 to 1.1 and then to 2.0, this is considered iteration.
Qiu Hong continued: "Mr. Ma, you may be wondering, isn't iteration a necessary factor for the success of all projects? How can it lead to failure?"
"The key is to see whether the iteration has an accurate goal."
"All failed iterations have one thing in common, that is, no one knows what the game or the final form of this product will be, and they are always free to change whatever they want."
“Needs change at any time, and changes are never-ending.”
“This kind of behavior means that no one is clear about the final form of the product, and the result is often that the more changes are made, the more biased and messy the changes become. On the surface, the project gets better with iteration after iteration, but in fact it is in the right direction.
The path continues to deviate and is ultimately irreversible.”
"This is the case for many games. The prototype was originally very clear, but during the development process, I always wanted more things, so I kept iterating and adding new things, and finally changed it to four images."
"Especially when the two failure factors of 'wrong iteration' and 'inconsistent voices within the project' are combined, it will be a super, super, super terrible disaster!"
"The entire project will fall into endless internal friction, just like a cruise ship stuck in a whirlpool. No matter how good the helmsman is, it is impossible to bring it out, and can only watch it sink little by little.
Disintegrated, hopeless."
Pei Qian's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Okay, the money is not wasted!
I finally learned a surefire move from Qiu Hong!
In the past, Tenda's games did go through iterations and updated versions, but at that time, the purpose of updating the version was very clear, so unfortunately it was successful.
But now, with Qiu Hong's theory as a guide, Pei Qian suddenly felt that there was a glimmer of victory in front of him!
Make the voices within the project inconsistent, and then force them to forcibly iterate, repeatedly overturning and redoing version after version, iteratively upgrading, and finally, before settlement, a four-dimensional version is launched.
Isn't this appropriate?
"Mr. Qiu, thank you!" Pei Qian's eyes shone with sincerity.
Qiu Hong was a little flattered and said quickly: "Mr. Ma, you don't have to be polite. I am also entrusted by others and it is a matter of loyalty."
"Besides, what I share is all failure experience. If Mr. Ma wants to take advantage of it, he still needs to learn to think in reverse."
Pei Qian smiled.
Thinking backwards?
No, I can use these failed experiences directly!
Sure enough, it is beneficial to study more. Otherwise, how could you possibly think of such a way to lose money?
This money is spent and earned with blood!

Monday, July 25th.
The third phase of the arms race has finally come to an end.
Yesterday afternoon, the champions of the two competitions were determined, and bonuses and trophies were awarded.
But who is the champion itself is not important.
The important thing is that after this competition, all players and clubs have clearly realized the fact that in China, ioi is really not good!
In the foreseeable future, the country will be dominated by gog, and this competition will completely consolidate gog's dominance!
…
dge esports club.
The members of h4 club and dge club are waving goodbye.
Team leader Su was talking to Zhang Yuan about the future of the domestic e-sports industry.
Although h4 Club came in second place in yesterday's final, which is very regrettable, but for them who have been repeatedly abused and did not have high hopes, this is already a quite surprising result.
