Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

If they still can't do it well even with this much, they will voluntarily leave the game development industry.

At least I won't be entering the mainstream development circle anymore; I'll obediently remain a low-level, invisible nobody.

"Do you have a plan for when this new version will be released? When it is, contact Belair on the Battle.net platform, and he will give you a featured spot on that day."

"How about... a week from now? It's almost Christmas, and I want to give the players a gift, and also a gift to ourselves."

"it is good."

Zhu Youxing agreed.

Since Yuxing Electronics Entertainment itself won't be releasing any major titles this Christmas, it's perfectly fine to let this development team promote their own games.

The team was already sharpening their knives, looking forward to a fierce battle during the crucial Christmas release period.

However, they were also well aware that their game did not have a good reputation at the beginning, which was a natural disadvantage.

So... as long as we can increase sales by at least another 300,000 to 500,000... no, that's asking too much. An additional 100,000 to 200,000 would be enough.

"The boss has agreed to release our 1.1 version, Infinite World, just one week from now, before Christmas!"

After hanging up the phone with Zhu Youxing, the young producer of Infinite World couldn't wait to rush out of his office and announce the good news to his people.

Everyone cheered immediately upon hearing this.

They had been waiting for this news for quite some time.

Before speaking with Zhu Youxing, they were worried that their new boss would be nitpicky.

They had heard that Zhu Youxing was a very strict person, and that games he supervised had to reach a very high quality to pass his test, especially the games he personally supervised.

While there was no precedent for game works like theirs that joined the project halfway through, they still assumed that Takeyusei would treat them with the same strictness.

Perhaps the new boss will feel that the current game content is not enough.

But now that Zhu Youxing had agreed so readily, they all cheered happily.

In fact, Zhu Youxing was quite surprised by the development efficiency of this group. Although he himself was quite strict about the quality control of games, that also depended on the type of game.

If a game is inherently bad in terms of reputation, then it cannot be understood using normal game development thinking.

Works whose reputation has been ruined do not need one or two large-scale repairs; they need a long-term, steady approach.

Significant investment in patching will lengthen the game's development time, and players who initially had some expectations for the game may eventually become impatient and give up.

Games with such a poor reputation need to constantly interact with players and tell them: Look, we're still working hard, we haven't run away yet, we're still using the latest technology to improve the game, don't run away too fast, we have an even more delicious four dishes and one soup waiting for you to enjoy.

Then, after the announcement, they served a bowl of soup to stabilize morale. That's roughly how it works. So, Zhuyouxing agreed to update the new version of Infinite World by only adding sandbox building and multiplayer game modes.

Zhu Youxing was also somewhat expectant. He wanted to see if most players would still be interested in a game that could salvage its reputation, or if they would be so heartbroken that they would no longer want to engage with such a fraudulent game.

A week from now, Christmas will be just around the corner, and most countries will be in a festive mood.

Especially in Western countries, most countries celebrate Christmas.

Among these people, there was a veteran gamer who was engrossed in playing the latest game at home.

He is a game enthusiast and also a game critic with some online fame.

The emergence of social media has given ordinary people around the world more channels to voice their opinions.

Even an ordinary person can become a media outlet and express their opinions on certain things.

Game critics like him emerged in this environment.

Their professionalism may not be comparable to that of Kazuo Murakami, but they are all faithfully serving players with specific interests.

We serve these players, help them identify potential pitfalls in advance, and tell them what games are fun and what games are trash.

His Battle.net platform now features over a thousand different open-world games.

Infinite World is one of the least noticeable games among these.

At this moment, he was feeling rather bored and casually browsing through some recent news updates on the Battle.net platform.

While he was browsing, a new recommendation message suddenly popped up on the Battle.net platform's homepage.

"Infinite World version 1.1 is officially released, adding brand new gameplay features. Players are welcome to experience it."

Chapter 1170 Let's try again?

A new version of Infinite World?

It's been so long since I've seen any news about this game.

He remembered that he had specifically set aside time to play this game.

He eventually discovered it was trash, and he angrily ranted about it for a long time in the discussion forum.

Because this game was originally owned by Mike F. Smith, and Mike F. Smith games didn't have a system that allowed players to freely rate them.

Based on this alone, he believed that the Mikeford gaming platform was inferior to the Battle.net platform.

On the Battle.net platform, users can freely criticize games they dislike, and happily share their favorite video games through comments. These comments can then be shared on the Facebook social network, allowing more people to see what kind of games they like and dislike.

Later, after the game was released on the Battle.net platform, it was officially announced that it had joined Youxing Electronic Entertainment, which gave many players who still had a glimmer of hope for the game something to look forward to.

However, a considerable amount of time has passed since then.

He also did not purchase the game again on the Battle.net platform because he felt it was not worth it.

It's not worth spending tens of dollars more to buy this game.

This game is just an ordinary indie game, but it has been forcibly elevated to a level that it doesn't belong to.

It gives the impression that this is a top-tier AAA game, a large-scale development project with significant investment and capital.

But in reality, this game was developed by a team of only a dozen people at the beginning, and only a hundred people at the end, and it took two or three years to develop.

This means that such a game cannot be very large in scale.

It can only be said that this team's initial ambitions were a bit too big.

He closed the ad that prompted him and prepared to check out other games.

But suddenly he noticed a very conspicuous mark below the recommended ad.

Green discount marker.

75% OFF.

The Infinite Worlds on Battle.net is originally priced at $29.9.

The current price is $7.5.

This price...

hiss……

What's going on with me wanting to buy it?

His hand involuntarily began to move towards the "Add to Cart" option in the game.

But he quickly shook his head, feeling that such a game was not worth his time and effort.

He didn't want to waste too much time on this kind of trash game.

$7.5 sounds pretty cheap.

But if I don't spend the money, I can probably buy two beers for $7.5, which is better than this garbage game, right?

So he decided to turn off the ads.

After closing the game, he chose to forget about it and go check out other games.

With Christmas just around the corner, Battle.net's winter promotion is also about to begin.

This winter sale is a little later than before.

There are so many great games waiting for you during this winter sale.

There's no need to waste money on a game that's already destined to be garbage.

However, perhaps because of the prior publicity, he found himself thinking about the game Infinite World all day long.

How about... we buy it?

No, no, no, there's no need to buy it. Spending money is a small matter; making yourself miserable is the most unpleasant thing.

He once again banished these thoughts from his mind, completely forgetting them.

Two days later, the winter promotion began as scheduled, and major game companies were all eager to boost their revenue during this promotional event.

Many of these games are offered at a pretty good discount during this winter sale.

This is naturally a very happy day for many players, who have saved up a lot of money and are just waiting to spend it all today.

This is also a way to reward myself for the past year.

However, for seasoned gamers, while these promotions are very tempting, they also bring a lot of dilemma.

Since they are called veteran gamers, one characteristic of veteran gamers is that they have played a lot of games.

Moreover, they must have played a wide variety of games.

Some veteran gamers have hundreds of games in their game library.

Moreover, most of these games are currently very popular game genres.

Some veteran gamers may already own all the popular games on the market.

Once you own all the popular games, what games should you buy during a discount event?

I can't buy anything.

As a game critic, this veteran player is in the same situation.

He had originally set aside several hundred dollars this year to buy games.

But when I finally went to the Battle.net platform, I found that there were hardly any games I wanted to play or buy.

Games that I wanted to play or buy were already in my inventory early on.

This is unbelievable! I never thought there would be a situation where someone has money in their hands but can't spend it.

This is really upsetting!
