Game designer: I am making games, not charity

"Hey bro, do you want a ticket?"

"What ticket?"

"The game of Goose Factory, the domestic finals of Legend of the Warriors, there are three grades, 1~10 row, 10~50 row, 50~150 row, brother, which one do you want?"

"What price?"

“1~10排是6000块，10~50排1000块，50~150排只需要300块钱，这已经是最优惠的价格了！”

"It's really a discount. This price is almost the same as the initial price? Can you scalpers make money?"

"I really can't help it and I don't know if it's because the offline competition is not very good-looking. After grabbing so many tickets, I can't sell them at all. The headache is killing me.

You can only lower the price and try not to lose money. How about it, brother, have you thought about it?Which class of tickets do you want?I'll send it to you right away! "

"Oh, I don't want it, I don't plan to see it."

"??? Brother, are you kidding me?"

"Are you kidding me? I really don't plan to watch it. I've been busy recently and don't have much time."

"Then why are you asking so many questions?"

"I'm just curious and want to ask."

"Go to your uncle's uncle!"

……

The Legend of the Warriors domestic finals, the eve of the game.

Situations like these continue to happen in the Great Xia Kingdom, as well as various places in the other 12 surrounding countries.

Of course, in comparison, the domestic reaction in Daxia was more intense.

After all, these other countries have never seen any good games, so the patience is naturally stronger.

However, relatively speaking, the number of players in the game Legend of Warriors is undoubtedly the largest.

The Great Xia Kingdom has a population of nearly 20 billion, even if all the people in the 12 small countries around it are added together, it is impossible to compare.

Therefore, whether it is the number of players or the spending power that players can provide, it will have an impact on the popularity and attention of the entire game.

There is no doubt that the Great Xia Kingdom has the most!
And under such circumstances, Goose Factory started the competition without hesitation!

But the game has only just begun.

Goose Factory felt it immediately, things seemed to be going wrong!
Take the most striking example.

The number of viewers was the highest during the previous regular season, reaching 9,000 million.

Although a considerable part of the 9,000 million is false data made by the goose factory.

But the real number of viewers in it still reached more than 7000 million.

Logically speaking, the current domestic finals in various countries can undoubtedly be regarded as the climax of the entire event.

The number of spectators should be more and more explosive.

But now, not only did the number of spectators not increase, but it actually decreased!
The number of viewers displayed in the live broadcast room is only more than 6000 million!

This is of course impossible because everyone else went to watch the game offline.

After all, even if the Goose Factory has strong economic strength, it is impossible for them to build a competition venue that can accommodate tens of millions of spectators.

In fact, the number of spectators that this offline game can accommodate is only a little over 1.

The finals had officially started, but the enthusiasm was uncharacteristically lower than usual.

The chief director of the competition, who has been paying attention to the popularity of the live broadcast room, even discovered this.

"Director, I don't know what's going on, should we do something about it?"

The staff next to it suggested it immediately.

But the chief director shook his head after hearing this. In contrast, the chief director was a little calmer.

He kept a close eye on the number of viewers in the live broadcast room, and guessed: "It's still time for the host to introduce. It's very likely that the audience hasn't arrived yet. Wait for more than 10 minutes before the game officially starts and see how things go."

The assistant next to him also felt that it made sense, so he nodded and continued with his work.

Time passed by every minute and every second. After the host finished introducing the contestants and the game competition officially started, the popularity really picked up a little.

It once reached around 7500 viewers.

The number of viewers in the other 12 countries is also very stable and is gradually increasing.

Seeing this scene, the chief director finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If the number of people continues to increase according to this trend, there shouldn't be any problems.

But at this time.

Something unexpected happened again!

The number of viewers, which had started to rise gradually, suddenly stopped.

Before the chief director came back to his senses, the number of viewers plummeted.

It even dropped to 7300 all of a sudden.

followed by lower.

All of a sudden ran to 7200.

The number of people dropped so suddenly that the chief director didn't understand what happened for a while.

Immediately, he scratched his neck and shouted in the background to check if there was any problem.

But as the staff replied one by one, the live broadcast of the game was going on smoothly, and the signal was very stable, and there were no unexpected factors at all.

Then what is the reason?
But before the chief director figured it out, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room suddenly dropped again, even dropping to 6500!

"Something happened, something happened!"

If the chief director was able to calm down a little bit before, now he has no way to keep calm anymore.

The number of viewers can simply be described as plummeting.

And more importantly, he had no idea what happened!
In desperation, the chief director could only truthfully report the matter to the planning director who planned the competition.

The director of planning also found it very strange, but the chief director was completely unable to provide any advice.

Not to mention restoring the lost audience, they don't even know why the audience is lost.

With such a drop in the number of spectators, Mr. Ma, who was sitting in the temporary office outside the game site, waiting for a good harvest, finally realized something was wrong.

Mr. Ma immediately called the planning minister.

"It's safe to say, is this the result you gave me?"

The director of planning was also full of anxiety at this time, and immediately explained: "Everything is done according to the order, the early response is very good, I don't know why now..."

"I see!"

Suddenly, the director of planning screamed and said to Mr. Ma on the other end of the phone: "Because the popularity of the regular season was enough before this time, we didn't continue to buy sailors on the Internet before the finals. Could it be that ...the reason?"

The Minister of Planning was very excited at the beginning, but his voice became smaller and smaller afterward.

Although the number has become so low now, there may indeed be reasons for this.

But what he said is not just a side expression.

Their Legend of the Warriors game was originally a failed game. It seemed to be very popular and popular on the Internet before, and it was all because they spent money to buy the sailors.

This is equivalent to completely negating all the decisions made by Mr. Ma during this period of time.

It is much more serious than the sudden drop in the number of people due to some reason now.

"Is that why you gave me?"

Mr. Ma's voice was gloomy as if he wanted to freeze the weather.

The planning director on the other end of the phone didn't even dare to breathe.
