Say Yes To Making Bad Games, What the Hell is Titanfall? Chapter 158

  Chapter 158 When I hit the question mark, it's not that I have a problem, but I think you have a problem

  Shen Miaomiao was very excited!

   This is her first receipt, and it is also another attempt after "PUBG Mobile", "Overcooked Kitchen" and "Titanfall" made three consecutive profits and failed!

  Over there, Gu Sheng adjusted the webpage.

   Here, Shen Miaomiao prayed secretly.

  The sky is lingling and the earth is lingling, let me lose a little bit!

   Counting it, it has been a year since her last loss-making "Left 4 Dead" project!

  Brother System!

   Poor poor child!

   You must know that it has only been more than two years since the establishment of Golden Wind!

   Nearly half of the time I was making money and not losing a dime!

   If this continues, our system will become a pure display!

  I don't ask for loss, it's one billion eight hundred million, even if you return me tens of thousands of dollars, it's a bit of consolation!

  Shen Miaomiao didn't know, but after doing some calculations, she felt that she was going to be miserable.

  She hasn't tasted rebates for a year!

   This system made her use it, and it is true that those who see it are sad and those who hear it cry.

  A bitterness welled up in her heart, and Shen Miaomiao felt like she was about to cry.

   They are also responsible for the system. Why is my situation different from that of the protagonists in those novels?

  I see that the protagonists in those novels are all clothes and mouths. The system can't wait to put all the wool in the world into the protagonist's pockets.

   But my system, if it says no rewards, it really won't give them!

Of course!

   There is no rebate for a year, and the system cannot be blamed entirely.

  Shen Miaomiao secretly glanced at Gu Sheng next to her.

  Speaking of which, this terrifying whale is the culprit.

   This guy's shots are almost without fail.

  Although from the perspective of her system, from "Cat Leo" to "APEX", the nine projects have profit and loss.

but!

  From the perspective of the return rate of commercial funds, none of the projects from the establishment of Golden Wind to the present have lost money!

   Not only do not lose money, but also make a lot of money, the kind that make crazy money!

  How much was the starting capital in the early days of Golden Wind?

500000.

  Now, how much money does Golden Wind have?

  According to the financial statement submitted to the President's Office by the finance department last month—

  675 million.

That's it! It's still after they emptied their homes and made the return funds after Titanfall!

  More than two years.

   From 500,000 to 675 million.

   Increased by 1350 times year-on-year!

   This is no longer crazy growth!

  This growth rate is unattainable in any industry!

   This is no longer an industry myth!

   This is a god! The gods come!

   Not to mention others, they are looking at the huge Shen's capital!

  From scratch, it has many industries and hundreds of subsidiaries!

   There is no one whose growth rate can be so terrifying!

It can be said that if it wasn't for Shen Miaomiao's system, she would have been able to recruit Gu Sheng, the ultimate cash cow, top producer, and invincible supernova, she should have made a golden body for Gu Sheng, offering three sticks of incense every day Kowtow!

   This is the reincarnation of God of Wealth!

  So it's no wonder that so many game manufacturers covet Gu Sheng.

   Not because of anything else, but because this guy is so rich!

  All games are so explosive that they even created a number of new gameplays, new upgrades, and new forms of games such as 'psychological horror', 'second-generation FPS', and 'battle royale'.

  Although the volume of Golden Wind is less than 1 billion, it is not considered a medium and large game manufacturer in the game circle.

  But whether it is its momentum of vigorous development, or the invitation of a world-class manufacturer like Comera.

   All prove the rapid rise of the golden wind.

   Entering the 1 billion club and becoming a medium-sized game manufacturer is already within sight.

but!

   This did not affect Shen Miaomiao's determination to pursue rebates.

   Indeed!

   Immediately stepping into the 1 billion club and becoming a medium-sized game company is indeed something worth looking forward to for them.

   But be aware.

If!

  These nine games are all based on the most ideal situation, and all losses are calculated, so—

  The cost of "Cat Leo" is 10,000, and the rebate is 100,000.

  The cost of "Who is Dad" is 100,000, and the rebate is 1 million.

  The cost of "Vampire Survivor" is 200,000, and the rebate is 2 million.

  The cost of "Phobia" is 2 million, and the rebate is 20 million.

   The cost of "Left 4 Dead" is 10.8 million, and the rebate card is 100 times rebate, and the rebate is 1 billion 08 million.

   The cost of "PUBG Mobile" is 50 million, and the rebate is 500 million.

   "Overcooked Kitchen" 1 million, rebate 10 million.

  The cost of "Titanfall" is 170 million, and the rebate is 1.87 billion.

   "APEX" costs 50 million, and the rebate is 550 million.

  The total cost is 284.11 million yuan, and the total rebate is 4.0331 billion yuan!

   "Billion Club"?

   Joke!

  One billion club, I, Shen Miaomiao, can buy four!

and!

  If the world line really develops according to this ideal situation, as long as she is brave enough, she will throw all the 4 billion into the game market.

So!

   With this wave of rebates, she will have 40 billion yuan!

What? You said that the largest game manufacturer in China is Xunteng?

   Papa gave Xunteng a big mouth, do you think he dares to say anything?

  Ten games directly jumped to the top spot in the game circle of Huaguo, and after a little movement, they can surpass Ni and catch up with the rice, and beat Ke Meila and Yunwei to the bottom!

hey-hey…

   I had a little daydream.

  Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but let out a silly laugh, happy for herself in another world line.

   However, this situation is too ideal.

  Gu Sheng is not a very emotional game maker, if he really played like this, I am afraid that Lao Gu would have left the picker and left long ago.

   After all, the two have been together for so long, and have lived under the same roof for several months. She also has a certain understanding of Gu Sheng.

  He really loves this industry, loves this career, is a real gamer, and regards games as art.

  Although his pursuit and love for games, to a certain extent...largely hindered Shen Miaomiao from losing money.

  But Shen Miaomiao would not really blame him for ruining her good deeds.

   Those who don't know are not to blame.

   Besides now!

  My own system has been upgraded, and there is a new and better mode of losing money.

   Earn one piece and lose one piece, Lao Gu can realize his dream of being a top designer, and he can also earn a lot of money.

  When Lao Gu doesn't want to do it, or when she earns enough, she and Lao Gu will buy a big yacht to travel around the world, eat and drink, and then...

   "What are you talking about with that idiot?"

   Gu Sheng's voice came, interrupting Shen Miaomiao's reverie.

"ah…"

  Shen Miaomiao was startled for a moment, then came back to her senses:

   "It's nothing, I suddenly thought of something happy."

   "You don't think that APEX can pay back the first week like our previous games, do you?"

  Hearing this, Shen Miaomiao couldn't help raising her eyebrows: "Is it impossible?"

   "European Server Koss Naut!"

  Gu Sheng was startled, and looked at Shen Miaomiao in disbelief:

   "Your idea is too beautiful, this is a free game with a cost of 50 million!"

   "You want to get back your money all week? Do you really think our game is robbing a bank?"

  In order not to disappoint little Nezha too much, Gu Sheng called up the "proportion of paying players" data of the free games in the somatosensory cabin released in the past six months on the China Entertainment Network website.

   It can be seen that, according to statistics, the average proportion of paying players in the free new games released in the somatosensory cabin in the past six months is 7.23%.

Yes.

  Whether it's Gu Sheng's previous life or this world, the proportion of paying players in a free multiplayer online game is gradually accumulated from low to high.

  This is an objective law of the game market.

   "The proportion of paying players is accumulated over time, such as LOL and FireWire Shuttle,"

   “One of these two games has been in operation for 12 years, and the other has been in operation for 13 years,”

   "After such a long time of accumulation, activities and krypton gold points are emerging one after another. In addition, the market of the two games is becoming more and more saturated, and the number of new players is getting smaller and smaller,"

   "Under the influence of various factors, the paying player ratio of these two games can reach 87% and 92%,"

   Gu Sheng vaccinated little Nezha and explained:

   "It's only been seven days. Whether it's krypton gold points or related operating activities, we are very thin. In addition, the game is on the rise and there are a lot of new players,"

   "You only see the praise of the market, the praise of the players, and the krypton gold of very few players,"

   "But I didn't expect that among the players of a game, the silent ones are the majority,"

  “Whenever a new game is launched, players need to understand, adapt, and build a relationship with the game, so the initial paying player ratio will definitely not be high.”

  While being persuasive and persuasive, Gu Sheng slid the roller.

  As he said, in the data summary list, most of the new games have less than 5% of paying players, and occasionally there are a few close to 10%, but they are also rare.

"See, 1.7 percent, 3.5 percent, 4.2 percent, 6.6 percent... This is the real free game market. The group of paying players for any game is formed through one activity after another. Accumulated by Bobo's operation, "

   "There is an essential difference between free games and buyout games. The freedom of payment determines that no one can eat a fat man in one bite,"

   As he spoke, Gu Sheng slid the mouse over the [Sort ratio from high to low] button, and clicked to refresh:

   "If you don't believe me, look, among so many new games,"

   "Even with the highest proportion of paying players, it is only... 58.2%?!"

   "What kind of crazy thing am I playing with you monkey?"

   With the refresh of the page!

   See you!

   At the top of the list, a bizarre statistic stands out, leaving all the games of the same period far behind!

  【58.2% (Because the data of this work is too high and has no reference value, it is not included in the average calculation)】

  This value is so amazing, so dazzling, so outrageous.

   So much so that China Entertainment Electronics marked it with a single eye-catching red.

   And looking forward along this bizarre and terrifying ratio value, four letters came into view—

  《APEX》

  The game with the highest proportion of paying players for new games is theirs.

  As high as 58.2%.

  Gu Sheng:?

  The so-called when I put a question mark, it is not that I have a problem, but that I think you have a problem.

   CEED, are you kidding me?

   Statistics are wrong?

   Do you want to see how outrageous data you have compiled?

  Oh, you have seen it, and even you think it is outrageous, and you deliberately excluded this data from the average statistics.

   That is to say.

  58.2% of paying players accounted for the approval of CEET!

   "Damn it!!"

  In an instant, Gu Sheng's eyes went straight!

  This is really robbing a bank!

   Quickly find the weekly profit page, click to enter!

   Immediately afterwards, I heard the same scream from the little Nezha!

   "Damn it!!"

   On the big projection screen, the seven-day total sales data just flashed out is impressive!

  【APEX total sales in a single week: 62.44 million yuan】

  Shen Miaomiao's pupils shrank suddenly!

  The numbers that have been calculated countless times come to mind like a conditioned reflex!

  【62.5 million yuan】

   Excluding commissions, if you want to make a profit in a single week, the turnover of APEX must reach 62.5 million yuan!

   That is to say...

【Ding! time up! This round of investment settlement is complete! 】

  Next second!

  Shen Miaomiao heard a crisp sound in her head, and then, the system settlement interface appeared in front of her eyes—

【Ding! Project loss detected! 】

  【Sub-item: APEX】

  【Project investment amount: 50 million yuan】

  【Project settlement time: 7 days (+0 days)】

  【Project rebate ratio: 11 times (+0 times)】

  【Project actual revenue: 49.952 million yuan】

  【Project loss amount: 48,000 yuan】

  【Project rebate amount: 528,000 yuan】

  【Remaining settlement time: 0】

【Ding! The loss settlement is completed, and the rebate has been issued to the host's personal bank card! 】

   Immediately afterwards, Shen Miaomiao felt her phone vibrate!

  A text message was sent—

  【Your debit card account 1118, deposited 528,000 yuan in mobile banking on August 24, with a balance of 533,775.68 yuan...】

  The air in the apartment froze for two seconds!

   Next!

   Just listen to the exclamations of Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao, from low to high, one after another!

   "I rely on..."

   "I rely on..."

   "Damn it!"

   "Damn it!"

   "I rely on me, rely on me!"

   "I rely on me, rely on me!"

   What Gu Sheng relies on is that the 58.2% paying player ratio is too terrifying, it is simply a mythical level of data!

   And this undoubtedly means that their pass + non-attribute green krypton gold model has been a big success!

  In this world, a healthy, fair and green new road of krypton gold has been created!

   And the depth of its influence is no less than the feat of creating the "second-generation FPS"!

  Gu Sheng was extremely happy!

  Because always!

  Gu Sheng regards a sentence from the deceased former Nintendo president Satoshi Iwata as his motto—

  【On my business card, I am the president of Nintendo; in my head, I am a game developer; and in my heart, I am a gamer. 】

   This is the highest state of a pure gamer.

  Gu Sheng loves games. He regards games as a second world that keeps pace with real life, a utopia of the soul.

   And in this utopia, there should be no concept of 'money first'.

  The class differences in reality are enough to make people breathless.

  I don't want my game to continue this kind of depression, whether it is you rich and powerful, or ordinary people, the president and director of a large company, or ordinary workers, students and office workers.

   Here, in my game, we are all the same, simple and pure players.

  We met here because of our common love.

   Has nothing to do with status, wealth or class.

   I might envy your heirlooms, but you'll envy mine, too.

   Here, we only have one name—Player.

  Gu Sheng is happy!

   And Shen Miaomiao was even more excited!

   Money back! Money back! Money back!

   Heaven, earth! Which angel elder sister continued this immortal energy for me!

  Although a loss of 48,000 does not seem like a big deal!

  But I can't stand the 11 times high rebate!

  520,000 seconds to arrive!

To know!

  Her annual salary is only 500,000!

   This is equivalent to giving her a whole year's salary in an instant!

The key is!

   This is her rise again in the past year!

   This 520,000 is not a simple 520,000!

  The symbolic meaning of its success is even higher than its actual value! !

  Shen Miaomiao couldn't even control her excitement, tears flickered in her big eyes!

  Amidst the cheers, the equally excited two looked at each other.

  Seeing that Shen Miaomiao jumped up with a bang, and was about to pounce on Gu Sheng, and the excited Gu Sheng also laughed and stretched out his hands!

  But in the next second, as the distance between the two rapidly narrowed, a feeling of helplessness and strangeness rose in their hearts at the same time.

  Shen Miaomiao braked the car with a squeak, and Gu Sheng also raised his hands in embarrassment.

  Gu, Shen: …

   An awkward atmosphere spread between the two.

   It took a long time for Gu Sheng to open his mouth, his face flushed slightly: "...a high five?"

  As for Shen Miaomiao, she bit her lips lightly and stretched out her little hand: "...yeah."

   Then, the two reached out to each other at the same time:

   "Ah that..."

"Um…"

   "Congratulations, congratulations..."

   "Same joy...same joy..."

   "I..." Gu Sheng raised his hand: "My...I'm going to smoke a cigarette."

   "Ah, ah," Shen Miaomiao coughed unnaturally and nodded, "Go, go..."

  Gu Sheng stood up and walked to the bathroom.

   And Shen Miaomiao also turned her gaze, pretending to look at the data on the large projection screen.

  Two people, two directions, back to back.

  But the corners of the mouth can't help but curl up, but they are so similar...
