Chapter 100 - Blood-Written Letter from Ten Thousand Players Begging the Producers to Seek Profits! (2/2)

However, when he was on the road, he received a sudden private message from Lin Wan and found out that the players of Ghost General were planning to collate a ‘blood-written letter’ from ten thousand players!

Currently, the only channel for players to communicate with the producers was via customer service.

Previously, in order to lose money, Pei Qian outsourced the customer service job to a company that was good with ‘tai-chi’.

In short, Pei Qian outsourced the job to an external company that had no idea what was happening at the R&D team. No matter what the players asked, there was no way the customer service officers could answer their questions.

The only thing that it would do was to pacify the players with the usual formalities.

“We have received your suggestion. We will reflect this to the design team, my dear!”

“We are so sorry about the problems you have faced. We are trying our best to fix that now, my dear!”

Their response went something like that.

There were not many players who would dial the customer service hotline to start with.

Most players would not specially call up the customer service hotline when they experience insignificant problems in the game. There were not many players who would go all out to reflect those problems.

Normally, players would only call up the customer service hotline to scold them when they faced problems when topping-up money. Ghost General only had one function that was related to topping-up money—the permanent card. There was no way they could be a bug with such a simple function.

Therefore, the customer service team did not have much to handle.

However, in the past two days, the players bombarded the customer service hotline for an unknown reason! They only had one request—for the producers to come up with a new purchasable option!

Moreover, those calls were continuous. Different players took turns calling up the hotline!

This was also the most popular topic in other platforms such as the forums and Tieba. There were also many players spamming the forums!

Pei Qian was completely dazed.

His first reaction was that he thought that the players were requesting a new version of the game and new game modes. That was normal. After all, Ghost General had been released for about three or four months. The players were sick of the old game content for a long time.

Yet, the players were requesting a new purchasable option?

Pei Qian was a little confused. He asked Lin Wan, “Do you know what exactly happened? Why will the players request for a new purchasable option? This doesn’t make sense!”

Lin Wan replied, “It seems like the players are worried about Ghost General going downhill. They hope to support the game by spending money on it.”

Tss…!

Pei Qian took in a cold breath.

This… had the players gone mad?

Pei Qian had originally hoped for Ghost General to perish by itself by not updating newer versions of the game. As long as the players did not make a fuss about it and allowed Ghost General to continue operating without updating newer content, the game’s popularity and sales figures would naturally decline.

The players were originally very cooperative. After all, the players had gathered together because of the game. Without special reasons, it was hard for them to develop a sense of unity.

Yet, what was happening this time?

They seemed to be beckoned by some mysterious calling!

After a moment of consideration, Pei Qian replied, “Tell the customer service to standardize their reply. Have them tell the players that we are in the process of planning a new version! It will approximately be out in… umm… either May or June!”

“Ah? We are planning a new version? Why haven’t I heard of that?” Lin Wan asked.

Pei Qian replied, “Please don’t misinterpret my words. I said that it was in the planning stages!”

Even if it was merely planned in my brain, it could also be considered to be in the planning stages!

“…” Lin Wan responded, “Okay, Boss Pei.”

Pei Qian felt that he had been f*cking unlucky.

After he had started producing games, he had been facing all sorts of anomalies and eeriness.

What happened was just abnormal!

He had originally wanted to find a way around it, but the players were not that easily fooled. They had actually created such a commotion.

Pei Qian could not pretend to be oblivious of what was happening anymore.
