Number One Game Designer

Chapter 101: One dollar summons

The pain of North American players is beyond the control of national server players. Although not all players are fans of puzzle games, for them, Hongyi wins glory for domestic players in San Francisco. This reason is enough, and this The game is not expensive!

The pre-sale version of the gift pack only costs 60 yuan, which also indicates that the price will not change after the game is officially unlocked, but the two music in the gift pack will not be given with the game after the official unlock, but will become DLC The form is purchased separately, the price is 12 yuan.

This price is completely acceptable to players of the national service. Now the average price of a masterpiece of the national service is around 240. Such a game can be said to be of high quality and low price.

Those who are familiar with Fang Xi know the purpose of this: in order to grab users!

The Honghu game platform was originally created based on the steam platform of the previous time and space, so selling games is only part of the service, and subsequent meticulous game updates, automatic installation of the runtime library, automatic patching, perfect community communication functions, and even more Later mod workshops and so on, these will firmly bind the players to this platform.

The pre-sale of "Portal" is just a stone in the direction of throwing stones.

Three days passed quickly, and Hongyi also launched a huge publicity in the three days. The media started with "GAME World", and in addition to Fang Xi's special reports on its own portal website and physical publications, Also added the topic of the trip to San Francisco and the latest release of "Portal" topic.

Fang Xi was quite relieved of Shuiran, and directly copied a demo version for Shuiran and sent some sketches during the development process as creative materials. It turns out that Shui Ran’s ability is indeed strong. Although it does not reach the level of the previous UC editor’s opening picture, the content is all based on the level of writing, but the content is dull and frustrated, and the aftertaste is long. Just looking at her manuscript, Fang Xi almost thought she did it. It's not a portal, but a super 3A like "Big Cousin 2", which has been honed for ten years. This creative process is not an exaggeration.

But what made Fang Xi laugh is that immediately after the BD search engine, the first few links about the portal were also replaced with familiar formats:

"The portal is just a scam. Is this game really fun?" 》

"Games are not fast-moving consumer goods, from the portal to briefly talk about the scam of game promotion"

"Below the mysterious appearance is the paleness of the content, a brief analysis of the portal"

It's still a familiar one. BD also makes it clear that you are going to knock Hongyi dead. If you don't give money, he will let you all negative news in front of related entries.

Fang Xi shook his head. He was really speechless about BD. In the early years when the Internet was not too developed, it might be possible for BD to engage in this kind of monopoly at that time, but now it is not only a way of propaganda by search engine bidding for games. This behavior made Fang Xi feel disgusting.

This is like going from A to B. In the past, there was only one way to BD. BD resets the card on this way. Don't think of B without experiencing a difficult situation. But the times are developing. From A to B, there is not only BD. There are also a series of channels called "forum promotion", "Weibo advertising", "social media marketing" and so on. Now BD is a publicity channel. For Hongyi, it means "yes, but not necessary."

Fang Xi shook his head and instructed Liu Hai:

"Look back to ask Chen Yuhaifang how the legal department was formed. Tell him that the first job of the legal department is to sue BD, and let him watch and let it go."

"But President Fang" Liu Hai was a little puzzled: "Didn't you say that there are no useful methods for BD? Is it useful for us to prosecute now?"

"That was before." Fang Xi smiled. "I used to have no money. Now that I have money, we must do it with him. If he is disgusting, we can't let us go back? And the Legal Department also has to practice. I see this BD as legal affairs. This is the first experience baby who just came out of Novice Village. It's very suitable."

Liu Hai held back his smile and took orders to do it.

While the domestic publicity was in full swing, Su Luo overseas also received a customer she expected.

Dressed in exaggeration, holding a handheld camera in hand, and speaking to the camera from time to time, this is Fang Xi's North American fan leader and YouTube game UP master Pim.

Pim was originally a fan of Killing Planet, but after the San Francisco Game Show, he officially became a fan of Fang Xi. In his words, as long as Fang Xi makes games, he wants to try it, and he is a well-known up in the industry. Lord, his information is also very well-informed. After learning about the cooperation between Hongyi and ESF and establishing a North American company, he also came directly to San Francisco, intending to observe Hongyi's North American office.

I wanted to take a sneak shot, but as soon as the device was raised, a capable blond OL stopped it:

"Mr. Pim, our general manager wants to see you."

On the second floor of Xuanniao's office, Fang Xi saw Su Luo standing with his hands in front of the French windows. At this time, Pim was still a little confused:

"Hi, who are you?"

Su Luo turned around:

"Hello Pim, I'm the head of Hongyi's Xuanniao office in San Francisco, Su Luo, you can call me Juliues"

Seeing Pim still a little confused, Su Luo smiled and said:

"You have appeared in all the videos of YouTube, and the style of clothing is quite unique, so I can recognize you at a glance, and it just so happens that we are planning to see you recently."

"?" Pim was still confused, then took the briefcase that Su Luo handed over, and Su Luo gestured to him to open it.

Seeing the beginning of the San Francisco courthouse in the file bag, Pim breathed, but Su Luo gave him a gesture of finishing reading.

The content of the subpoena is very simple, that is, Pim’s previous jokes on YouTube videos have come true. The reason for Hongyi’s prosecution was for spreading pirated games, etc. According to federal and state laws, Xuanniao Studio proposed Claim.........$1?

Su Luo smiled and explained:

"Our boss FANG is very grateful for your love and promotion of Slaughter Planet. This summons is a joke he made to you. I hope you don't mind."

Pim shook his head and laughed:

"No, no, I intend to cherish this summons, it is very commemorative."

"Our boss FANG also said that he doesn't like to owe favors, so he prepared a little gift for you."

After that, Su Luo handed over two file bags and motioned to Pim to open it for himself.

"Isn't it two subpoenas again?" Pim was a little flustered, and after receiving Su Luo's negative shook his head, he still mustered the courage to open the file bag:

The first document bag is an invitation to hire, inviting Pim as a non-staff tester for Hongyi Games. It is not a formal employee, but he can put forward test requirements for Hongyi’s new games. It is relatively free, and Hongyi will also Pay the corresponding remuneration.

The second file bag is a CD and a non-disclosure agreement, with "Portal + Road to Survival DEMO" written on it in English

Pim's breathing suddenly became heavy.
