Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 1132 I quit
Chapter 1132 I quit
The celebration party was over, and the young people returned to the company's office.
Coming back with him were more than a dozen partners who had worked with him from beginning to end.
They got together when they were starting their business out of school.
They are probably the only people who have a deep affection for this game.
As for other people, they regard this game as a kind of work.
The young man found Myron Keys at the celebration party.
Myron Keys was very happy to encourage young people to prepare to develop the next game, and Myron Keys could invest in him again.
This time, due to the popularity of Infinite World, the sales of Mickford's electronic products are also quite good. This is the effect he hopes to achieve most.
In just the few days since the game was released, Mickford's sales of PC, game consoles and smartphones have all increased by more than 10%.
Myron Case is very happy, and the shareholders are also very happy. This is reflected in the stock price, and the stock price also rises.
However, the reputation of this latter game is now on the decline, but that is no longer important. His goal has been achieved, and the badness of the game will not affect his plans.
However, the young man hopes to get some more funds to continue the development of Infinite World. He hopes to make the game have more content, and at least realize all the boasts at the original press conference. He cannot just forget it.
Meron Keyes did not agree, he thought it was completely unnecessary.
Spending too much money on this kind of game is just a waste of time.
He doesn’t believe there is any more potential behind this game.
According to his think tank's estimates, this game can probably sell around 5 million copies before players react and its reputation collapses.
This can already become the bragging rights of a hit game, allowing Mickford to increase his voice, although this is achieved by consuming word-of-mouth.
After five million sales, there will be a wave of refunds from players due to the collapse of word-of-mouth. However, this is more difficult. Mickford does not have various refund measures that are user-friendly like the Battle.net platform. Mickford Fu only allows players to refund within one hour of the game experience, and will completely close the refund channel if the purchase exceeds three days.
This somewhat violates industry rules and some legal provisions, but it is still a gray area. Unless it is a class action lawsuit, there is really nothing the players can do about Mickford.
What's more, games are secondary, the important thing is the electronic products that carry the games.
Selling this will be a greater success.
Myron Keys persuaded young people to prepare to develop a new game and continue to use the gimmick of infinite worlds. However, this time Myron Keys suggested that the team establish a prodigal son character. He has arranged a special public relations team to be responsible for this. Young people's packaging.
In business matters, you can do whatever you want, as long as you can achieve your goal, you will be successful.
From the beginning to the end, he still regarded the game as a tool to make money, and had no emotions, except for Tetris, but it did not belong to him, which made him very troubled.
“I have decided that I want to exit Mickford. Now that Infinite World has met the requirements set by the initial investment, we can take Infinite World to find the next person who is willing to invest in us.”
"But...who can we find? Our behavior seems a bit like a lost dog."
Everyone felt a little heavy after hearing this.
The lost dog.
This title sounds really harsh.
If you continue to work in this company, it's actually not too bad. At this moment, it's obvious that some people don't want to leave here.
The young people also saw what they were thinking. Several people obviously did not want to leave Mickford.
After all, Mickford’s welfare benefits are pretty good.
If they just leave like this, they may not necessarily receive such good treatment in the future.
“I have found a target company, and that is Youxing Electronic Entertainment.”
“Youxing Electronic Entertainment? That is the most powerful game company. Will they accept other people’s games that squeeze out the value?”
The young man fell silent immediately.
Yeah, in a few days everyone around the world will probably know that this game is terrible, and who else is willing to take it over?
“I always have to give it a try. If I don’t give it a try, I won’t be willing to do it.”
The young man finally made up his mind that he would leave with his work.
He is now even more fortunate that he did not sign a copyright buyout agreement with Mickford, which also gave him a chance to escape.
But as my companion said, maybe no one is willing to accept it.
In the end, it may be all in vain. I will lose a high-quality job like Mickford, and at the same time, I will not make my game better.
Finally, the young man asked his peers to vote together. Those who were willing to stay would not insist on it, while those who were willing to leave with him would be ready to leave the company tomorrow.
The next day, the fourth day after the release of Infinite World, the game's sales plummeted to 500,000 sales per day.
Because players gradually reacted and found that this game was very bad. It only had the so-called infinite world gimmick, but no fun at all.
If you play the main story, it will only take you five or six hours to complete it, but what follows is endless emptiness. You can only travel through planets with different appearances again and again, and look at a group of things that do not conform to the aesthetics of normal people. Running around.
Furthermore, the optimization of this game is not very good. The young team has too little experience in this area, and Mickford did not provide much help in this area. After all, the quality of many game optimizations they did before was not very good.
There are also many loopholes, and players are increasingly dissatisfied.
And what is Mickford doing? They chose to respond silently and planned to deal with it coldly.
There is only one news that is more concerning, and that is that the producer of Infinite World chose to leave Mickford, and at the same time announced that he will regain the copyright after the exclusive agreement of Infinite World game expires in six months, and maintain the game as much as possible .
But players will not buy it when they see this news.
The players’ anger is very strong, and they really need an explanation. Both Mickford and the producer must give a good explanation.
What kind of garbage are you doing? You actually have the nerve to promote this kind of game as a masterpiece. It's simply unreasonable.
It’s a pity that there is only one Youxing Electronic Entertainment. The games produced by just one company cannot satisfy the appetite of players. It would be great if there were more Youxing Electronic Entertainment in this world.
