Chapter 69 - All In Vain! (2/2)
Many gamers who had been attracted by Bullet Hole’s advertisements also tried Ocean Stronghold out of curiosity. Immediately, they found that they could not turn back.
Both of these games were not even in the same league!
The plot was amazing, the hand sensitivity was amazing, and Ocean Stronghold was free-of-charge! It was so much better than Bullet Hole!
Thus, Bullet Hole became somewhat of a pit stop. Even the gamers whom they attracted through their publicity jumped over to Ocean Stronghold. After this series of events, the data for Ocean Stronghold went through the roof!
Not only were people who loved FPS games coming in waves, but even people who never played FPS games in their lives were trying it out!
Strictly speaking, Counter Strike was still going strong. There were still many veteran players remaining loyal to it. However, just the wave of new gamers alone made Ocean Stronghold a truckload of profit!
This was only the beginning.
Counter Strike was good, but at the end of the day, it was a standalone game. Friends could not play alongside each other.
Ocean Stronghold was an online game, and it was highly entertaining. In the long-term, it was bound to buy over even loyal gamers of Counter Strike!
Apart from the Red Kilin, Ocean Stronghold was practically free-of-charge. As Ocean Stronghold continued to win over gamers from the other games, its future success would be unimaginable!
…
Pei Qian felt paralyzed.
Is this a joke that destiny is playing on me?!
How could such a thing happen?!
He had never thought that Lin Wan—who looked every bit like a good-for-nothing—would be capable of something like that.
Of course, strictly speaking, this was not all to her credit. She had only become acquainted with a few owners of FPS gaming groups because of her previous job. These few owners just happened to be influential gamers in the FPS gaming community.
What’s more, all of these people only became acquainted because they were working on Bullet Hole together at Sun Strike Studios.
In the end, the spark caused by this same group of people to light the hay—that was Bullet Hole—on fire burned down the entire forest!
Pei Qian, who wanted to analyze the reasons behind this failure, suddenly felt confused.
Who was to blame?
Huang Sibo or Bao Xu?
They created this game just as I instructed them…
Lin Wan?
She was looking for a few lab rats to test out the game, just as Huang Sibo instructed her…
Sun Strike Studios and Bullet Hole, on the other hand, did help considerably. On one hand, they gathered so many leading FPS gamers together. On the other hand, their crazy marketing strategies indirectly publicized Ocean Stronghold, too.
However… it seemed to be my decision to allow Ocean Stronghold to be published at the same time as Bullet Hole…
Could it be… that I am to blame?
Something is wrong…
Pei Qian could not help but become deeply suspicious of himself.
He felt like the trophy had almost reached his hands, but it was snatched away at the last second.
His heart turned cold.
Three months, all in vain!
“Calm down! I have to save myself!”
