Chapter 457 - Boss Pei’s Skill in Turning Stone into Gold (1/2)
Pei Qian fell silent after watching the video. Philosophical questions circulated in his mind.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
Teacher Qiao’s words echoed in his ears.
The pain and pride of a top game designer? The fortune of domestic players? The shudder from the soul? Another wonderful world?
Muddled!
It was a misunderstanding, a total misunderstanding!
Dear Audience, please don’t listen to the deceitful words of this wretched fat pig. Buy fewer copies of this game, please, I beg you!
However, the feedback from the bullet screen comments shattered Pei Qian’s fantasy ruthlessly. “That makes sense!”
“Indeed, it’s impossible for a developer to do such complicated steps just to dissuade players. Thinking about it now, it really has the effect of purifying the game environment.”
“I can understand even if I still find it unacceptable.”
“It sounds interesting! I really want to try it now!”
“I have been playing this game for several days. It is really interesting to play with a few masters who know how to play! I hope that Old Qiao can post the strategy and walkthrough live soon so that more people can feel the charm of this high-end game!”
“I’m going to complete the prerequisites, buy it, and play it!”
Pei Qian sighed helplessly and turned off the video silently.
At Shang Yang Games…
Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin were watching Teacher Qiao’s live stream at the same time. Both of them nodded gratefully after watching it.
“The master is in the ordinary folks, and Teacher Qiao is worthy of being Boss Pei’s confidant. He truly understood Boss Pei’s true intentions,” Wang Xiaobin said with emotion. Ye Zhizhou smiled. “It’s really amazing. As the game producers, we only realized it after Boss Pei made the ARG. He’s not that far behind us. How commendable for Teacher Qiao to understand Boss Pei’s intention to this extent as a player.
“We originally thought that this game was completed when it had no bugs and had excellent horror experience. However, it was far from completion.
“That was because it was a game with such complicated gameplay. It might not be able to become a big hit immediately so the key is in how to allow it to operate in the long run!
“The game Be Quiet requires the player to be patient and willing to use their brains to delve into the settings of the game. Everyone will get the best gaming experience only when everyone is proficient in the game.
“We all knew this at the beginning of the game release, but we did not do anything. Perhaps we have not realized the importance of this matter or that we felt that this was an unsolvable problem.
“Fortunately, Boss Pei saw through this and helped us make up for it!”
Wang Xiaobin nodded. “En, using ingenious ARG and the eye-tracking game as the precondition for the purchase is indeed a good way to screen and train the players well.
“However, what I’m worried about is if there are hidden dangers in such a form of screening
“No matter what, this sort of screening would definitely wipe out a lot of new players who had fallen into the pit. Moreover, this is an online game. In the long run, there might not be fresh blood, and I’m afraid it will slowly become a ghost server…”
Ye Zhizhou smiled while shaking his head. “No! Do you think Boss Pei won’t think of the problems you have thought about?
“In actual fact, Boss Pei’s actions are not screening. You’ve misunderstood!”
“Old Qiao is just a UP Master after all, not a professional game designer. He only saw the current effects of screening on the players, not the future in the long run!”
Wang Xiaobin was taken aback: “Oh? What do you mean?”
Ye Zhizhou said confidently, “According to my understanding, Boss Pei’s entire strategy should be divided into at least three stages!
“The first stage was a preliminary screening of players. It is to ensure that the first batch of players entering Be Quiet will be elite players who have the patience to study the gameplay and for higher IQ game. “Sales volume would be lost in initial stages, but keeping Be Quiet small and beautiful is more conducive to maintaining the player experience to a minority group and enhancing the reputation of the game. “The reputation of the game would continue to improve at the second stage, and there would be a continuous influx of new players.
“Before these new players enter, they will also go through this simple ‘training’. Moreover, since the number of new players entering is small, they will quickly figure out the gameplay and integrate with ease under the leadership of the old players.
“New players will quickly transform into experienced players in the process. Therefore, this third stage will maintain the reputation of the game and the environment while attracting even more new players in!
