Game Designers: You Don’t Understand Charity

  “There is a lot of controversy on the Internet regarding the payment of minors in our games.”

  "The major media have reported it, among which the column of "Wen Tianxia" of the national TV station was the first, which has created a certain influence."

   "On the above, they slammed our game's inductive recharge and complained about inaction."

   "It also caused waves in the game circle, and many players brought the rhythm..."

  In the office of the game department, Wu Ke stared at Yan Kang while reporting, trying to see some reaction from the latter's face.

   "Just repeating the same old tune." Yan Kang stretched his waist, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

   "Relying on public opinion to put pressure on our side is wishful thinking!"

   Wu Ke frowned, "Then, what are you going to do next?"

   This time the media reports are not groundless, and many of them are facts.

  If it wasn’t for the mole manor they didn’t follow the previous money-making routine, the quality of the game is beyond reproach, maybe a large number of players who have been sprayed have quit the game.

   "Leave it alone." Yan Kang looked indifferent, "The group of people in the PR department are not just for nothing, just let them handle things."

   "It is impossible for us to spit back the water."

   "What's more, if there is one, there are two, there are three. If you take a step back here, you should know what the game will be like in the future, right?"

  Wu Ke Moran, this kind of thing is really not the first of its kind, otherwise the follow-up processing will be much more troublesome.

  Wu Ke: "In this case, we Penguin and Mole Manor will suffer a lot of damage to their reputation."

  Yan Kang: "It's not a big problem. It doesn't have a reputation that is worthy of praise. What's more, as long as we have reached today, as long as the foundation can continue to grow, we don't need to care about such illusory things."

  Yan Kang's words basically set the tone for the next action.

  When something like this happened, there must be pressure, but you can't cut your own interests casually.

   After all, it is just a bit of public opinion. As long as you have a thick skin, no one can say anything about them.

  If there is anything that needs to be rectified, the document has already been downloaded.

   "It's probably just a moth made by Gu Lian's gang, it doesn't matter." Yan Kang's eyes flashed a chill.

   "Then plan to introduce those new paid privileges, do you want to add them?"

  Yan Kang pondered for a while, then shook his head, "Let's go slowly and avoid the limelight."

   "When this wave of limelight is over, we will still earn the money that should be earned."

  Yan Kang showed a look of determination on his face, and he was about to say something.

   Suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door.

   "Minister, it's not good, something happened!"

   "What's the matter? Why are you so frizzy, come in quickly!" Yan Kang felt a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart, but he still suppressed the restlessness in his heart and scolded the person who came in.

   While stumbling, the person in charge entered the door in a panic, almost tripping himself.

  The man couldn't care less, raised his head and said anxiously.

   "President, the previous report had a lot of negative effects on our game! Now on various online platforms, our players and players of other games have occasional conflicts, and they are very angry."

  Although there are some complaints about the payment, Penguin provides real game content after all, and there are no major problems in operation, so the main players naturally don’t have much dislike for this game.

  Nowadays, because of those media reports, the online games they play are pointed at, and even directly thrown into the lowest end of the game's contempt chain. How can the young and energetic players bear it.

only.

   "That's all? You don't care what they do, if you want to quarrel, let them go!" Yan Kang was very dissatisfied, "No matter how much they quarrel, can they still turn the sky upside down?!"

  Policy belongs to policy, public opinion belongs to public opinion, and players belong to players.

  They make games, how can they care so much about everything.

  Take a step back, even if there is something wrong, what are the people in the propaganda team doing, and he, the minister, has to worry about it?

  Seeing that Yan Kang's face became more and more gloomy, the person in charge quickly explained.

   "No, not the minister."

   "Because of the verbal conflict, the players on our side accumulated dissatisfaction in the previous report, thinking that it was because of the media's false reports that Mole Manor became a doormat."

"Now, in order to retaliate and vent their emotions, a large number of players have teamed up into the 'Wen Tianxia' post bar forum, sending a large number of insulting posts, spam posts, and the news library post that previously reposted Wen Tianxia's report, which is also subject to criticism. similar attacks."

   "Now the Internet is in complete chaos!"

   "What did you say?!" Yan Kang's face suddenly changed, as if something unexpected had happened.

   "You mean, those players are starting to 'explode'?!"

   "Exactly."

Beside   , Wu Ke's eyelids twitched.

  Blast it, at first the behavior originated from meaningless or malicious swiping of the Internet chat room, disrupting normal communication.

   On the game side, it has gradually developed into a kind of cyber violence that breaks into related posts to disrupt order in order to vent dissatisfaction or express protest.

  Generally, this kind of thing will only happen when the game developer has done something outrageous, or when the player's game experience has been seriously affected.

   Today, when online games are gradually maturing, such things rarely happen.

   I didn’t expect to see it today, and it’s not because of such a reason.

   "It's unreasonable, are those players crazy?!" Yan Kang was shocked and furious, and he couldn't feel any gloating in his heart.

  If the target of the attack was Fengyun Studio or a competitor of another game company, Yan Kang would applaud and even open a glass of champagne to congratulate on the spot.

  But what is the use of a group of brainless guys arguing in the media and under the official organization? !

   If it was useful, he would have secretly hired a sailor to deal with it.

  The person in charge of the report was also bitter, "Our player group is all young children, and they lack any formal concept of complaints, plus this wave of public opinion reports."

   "After a wave of booing, the players naturally went with the crowd. I didn't expect that they would do such a radical thing."

   "Too high..."

  Yan Kangru was struck by lightning, and his body suddenly froze in place.

  If the previous media reports were just a little bit of innocuous public opinion, then the current conflict has abruptly elevated this matter to the level of an incident.

   It will even be completely recorded, becoming a stain that this game can never get rid of.

  Under such circumstances, he no longer dared to think about the future of Mole Manor.

   "Children's online game... What a children's online game." Yan Kang's lips trembled slightly.

  Success is also here, and failure is also here.

   Just taking the normal behavior of adding payment channels as a guide, a slight mistake has caused such a big chain reaction.

  Although it is easy to make money from above, taking care of the players at the same time is also complicated.

   "Yun Feng, you are better at it." Yan Kang laughed miserably.

  Combined with the behavior of Fengyun Studio before, and now he can no longer imagine that the other party has been on guard against this, so he is in vain.

   It's just that he still can't figure out why the other party invests so much in children's online games since they don't plan to make money from children's online games.

   His eyes darkened, Yan Kang fell straight down, and Wu Ke was shocked.

   "Hey, Yan Kang! Are you okay, hello!"

   "Minister?!"

  …

  On this day, with the Mole Manor player explosion incident as the source, Wen Tianxia’s report was widely reposted again. A large number of parents were worried and strengthened the control of children’s games.

  The reputation of Mole Manor has further deteriorated, and it has been criticized as the culprit of children's Internet addiction, and online players have gradually declined.

   Several major children's online games on the Fengyun Jiujiu game network were also implicated. Fortunately, due to the good reputation and healthy operation accumulated before, the impact was not deep.

   Affected by the taint, Mole Manor missed the cga nomination.

  …
