Game designer: I am making games, not charity

You know, doing competitions is not as simple as imagined.

A large part of the reason why "Dungeon and Warriors" and "League of Legends" have achieved great success in e-sports is because Chen Feng has learned a lot of experience and lessons from his previous life.

In the previous life, these two games had their own precedents of e-sports success, so they just need to learn.

In Chen Feng's previous life, there were naturally many games that failed in e-sports.

Like Heroes of the Storm, like Overwatch.

Therefore, it is actually very difficult to make a game truly e-sports.

Although there were e-sports competitions in "Cross Fire" in the previous life, that was because, in Chen Feng's previous life, "Cross Fire" was a computer game.

But now that it has been changed to a VR game, it is not so easy to create an e-sports competition for it.

First, when playing a game, you must consider the players' viewing experience.

If the game of a vr game is made the same as that of a computer game, then when players watch the game, they will not have the feeling of playing a game.

For example, when players play "Cross Fire", they play in the VR experience cabin with a full 3D first perspective, and they will have an immersive feeling.

But when they watch the game, they can only see the game on the TV screen, so most of the sense of substitution will be lost, and it may even produce a sense of distortion.

Once players have this feeling, then the e-sports of this game is doomed to fail.

This issue is the most crucial and most difficult point. In addition, there are some detailed issues such as venue arrangement, professional player selection, and professional player fairness during competitions, which are difficult to deal with.

A professional player is used to playing games with his own vr experience pod, but when it comes to competitions, he has to use an unfamiliar vr experience pod, so he will naturally feel a lot of discomfort.

For computer game competitions, professional players can solve this problem by bringing their own keyboards and mice, but for this kind of vr game competition, do players have to bring their own vr experience cabins to participate in the competition?

Therefore, even if Chen Feng wanted to hold an e-sports competition for "Cross Fire", but because of these many difficulties, he had to put it aside for the time being, and turn it into an e-sports when he thought of a better way later.

As for the "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive" competition, it is possible to make an announcement and start preparations.

Moreover, in order not to arouse the disgust of the players on both sides, Chen Feng also specially asked the staff to send a game preview to "Cross Fire", but did not give a specific time for the time being.

After finishing these things, Chen Feng entrusted some matters of the company to Luo Zhonghao, and then gave himself two days off.

Because Zhang Mengyao just came back from a business trip these two days, Chen Feng planned to go to the surrounding cities with her to have fun and relax.

……

In the evening, the Platinum Company announced the competition announcement.

["Counter-Strike: Global Offensive" is about to host the Diamond Elite Masters. Before the end of the "Looking for the Gunslinger" event, all top 1000 players in the world can participate in the registration of player status.

The "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive" Diamond Elite Masters Tournament is divided into two categories: individual competition and team competition. Team competitions must be signed up by clubs.

The registration of individual player identity and competition club qualification is now open. Click the link below to apply for registration. 】

In addition to the "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive" announcement of the event, the staff of the Propaganda Department also issued an announcement on the official website of "Cross Fire" according to Chen Feng's request.

[From now on, "Cross Fire" will hold a global professional league, so stay tuned. 】

Chen Feng's operation is to avoid friction between the players of the two games as much as possible.

But the result was not as expected.

On Bibo, Zhihu, and Diamond Game forums, the two players still quarreled.

The reason is that a beautiful country, a high-score player who plays "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive", posted a video on Twitter.

In the video, the player first showed off his elite master icon, and then showed off his registered professional player status, and then he started spraying "Cross Fire" in the video.

""Counter-Strike: Global Offensive" is the best gun game in the world, as for other gun games, they are rubbish.

Oh, by the way, that "Cross Fire" is even more garbage among garbage, only garbage can play it, didn't you find it? "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive" is a game that players all over the world like to play, and inferior games like "Cross Fire" are for the people of Great Xia.

Rubbish Great Xia people are only worthy of playing rubbish inferior games. "

A Twitter video posted by the player quickly went viral.

Many extreme "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive" players began to join in, spraying "Cross Fire" together, and even began to attack some players from the Great Xia Kingdom.

And those "Cross Fire" players couldn't bear such anger, so they naturally output a meal.

Moreover, the players who like to play "Cross Fire" the most are not only the players of the Great Xia Kingdom, but also the Three Kingdoms.

The players of the Three Kingdoms are violently outputting on Twitter, spitting at those extreme players who play "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive".

As a result, a scolding war between players of two games, which originally belonged to two games, gradually turned into a scolding battle between netizens from several countries.

In response to this matter, Luo Zhonghao worked overtime overnight and led a group of employees from the Propaganda Department to deal with the emergency urgently.

First, an announcement was issued to severely deal with players who deliberately smeared another game.

Of course, the instigator of Pretty Country was naturally the first to bear the brunt of it, directly banning his account permanently, and completely pulling his personal identity information into the game blacklist of Platinum Company. From then on, he is no longer eligible to play any games made by Platinum Company .

In addition, those players who posted provocative remarks on various forums were also warned one by one.

But even so, the rhythm has picked up. Whether it is at home or abroad, the players of "Cross Fire" are already very unbalanced.

Why can he do the game in "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive", but we can't do it in "Cross Fire"?
Players gradually stopped complaining about those players in the game next door, but turned their finger on Platinum Games.
