Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

As long as it makes money, that's fine.

The creators couldn't refuse such a request, and the end result was that Mikefu made money, but the creators gained a bad reputation.

Chapter 1183 Collective Resignation

"Boss, I want to resign."

"Boss, me too."

In the game development department in Mikeford, several developers went to the department head's office to submit their resignations.

These individuals are all elite members of the development department, possessing considerable game development skills and having participated in the development of several high-quality games.

The department head frowned: "Why? Are you dissatisfied with your salary?"

"No, that's not the reason, it's another reason."

Their expressions were slightly unnatural.

However, they quickly regained their resolve.

"Other reasons? I think... well, I think I know."

The department head wanted to ask first, but he soon seemed to realize something.

Then he sighed, collected the employees' resignation letters, and said, "This still needs to go through some procedures. Please don't rush to leave, okay?"

“We will all follow the procedures to complete the resignation process. We just don’t want to work for this company anymore.”

The department head gently reassured the employees and then watched them leave.

Then the department head took the resignation letters and left the office.

As soon as he stepped out of the office, he noticed some people peeking out from their workstations, seemingly observing his next move.

However, when he came out and looked at their workstations, they immediately retreated back to their respective workstations and busied themselves with work that seemed to be nonexistent.

Recently... all game development has come to a standstill.

The game development department in Mikeford originally had about three or four games in development.

But morale has been really low lately.

The main reason for this downturn is some rumors and gossip from the outside world.

It started as just a rumor, but gradually more and more people started talking about it, and Mikefu became a laughing stock in the eyes of many.

All of this is because of that game whose reputation is slowly turning around.

Infinite world.

This video game company broke away from Mickford and joined Yusei Electronic Entertainment.

The department head felt a little regretful.

If he had been more assertive back then, stood with that developer, and persisted in developing the infinite world together, perhaps the outcome would have been better.

But now there are no "what ifs".

He walked heavily to Myron Case's office.

"Please come in."

Hearing the knock, Myron Case let people in while he continued to focus on communicating with suppliers.

"I said the price of this chip must be reduced by another 10%."

“That’s absolutely impossible, Mr. Myron Case. We’re already selling at a loss. If we lower the price any further, I can’t face our shareholders.”

Myron Case shook his head: "That's not something I need to worry about. This chip is dispensable to us, but it's a very rare order for you. So you have to lower the price enough before I'll buy it. But don't worry, once the sales volume reaches a certain level, you will be profitable later, and hugely profitable at that."

"Honestly, I can't leave uncertain things to the future."

Myron Case replied simply, "Then you can think about it. That's all for now. I have other business to do, and several suppliers are contacting me."

"I……"

Myron Case hung up the phone with the supplier very decisively, then looked at the head of the game development department who walked in.

"What's wrong? What's the matter?" Myron Case asked.

"Boss, more than a dozen game development employees are preparing to submit their resignations today."

"Huh? A dozen or so? Why are there so many?"

Myron Case was somewhat surprised.

"Hey, haven't you been seeing any news about video games lately?"

"I don't pay much attention to that. As long as video games make money, why bother reading the news? Is there some news about Yuxing Electronic Entertainment?"

"No, it's not Yusei Electronics Entertainment's doing, but it is indeed related to Yusei Electronics Entertainment."

"What exactly is it?" Myron Case became much more patient when he heard it was related to Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

"One of our games was previously acquired by their group and became one of their products."

"Oh, I seem to remember, this game... what was it called again?"

"It's called the Infinite World."

"Yes, it's the infinite world. So what's wrong with this infinite world?"

"The game is selling very well right now, and recent sales figures show that it has sold over a million copies."

"A million copies? You're not kidding, are you? That game can still sell a million more copies? Hasn't that game already completely squeezed dry of its commercial value?"

"Well, the game is constantly being updated, adding a lot of content to what was originally an empty game, making it more fun, and then players are willing to buy and play it."

"You can actually do that?"

Myron Case was somewhat surprised.

"So these updates are paid?"

"No, it's not a paid service; all updates are completely free."

"Did the game go up in price?"

"No, on the contrary, it's on sale, more than 70% off the original price, now only $7."

"That's it?"

Myron Case found it somewhat amusing.

"Isn't this losing money to make money?"

"Well... it seems that's indeed the case now."

"What's there to worry about? Even if we sell another million copies, at $7 for two million copies, that's only fourteen million in sales. And the cost of subsequent free updates would be more than that, right?"

"This... we have no way of investigating it."

"Youxing Electronic Entertainment is truly incomprehensible. Oh, by the way, you just mentioned that more than a dozen of our employees resigned. Is that related to the Infinite World?"

"Yes, because there have been a lot of rumors circulating online lately, all mocking us."

"Let them mock us, it's no big deal."

Myron Case didn't care.

He cares more about his company's core products, smartphones and personal PCs, with game consoles being a secondary focus.

It doesn't matter if video games and game consoles are criticized as worthless, as long as they make money.

Myron Case has an extremely obsessive persistence in pursuing what he wants, but he will completely ignore or even look down on what he is not interested in.

Even now, his disdain for games hasn't completely changed.

Video games were just a tool for him to make money.

Tools only need to perform their intended function; don't worry about anything else.

"The key issue is that this mockery has made our employees somewhat defensive, and they are no longer willing to work for our company."

After saying that, the department head placed all of the dozen or so resignation letters on Myron Case's desk.

Chapter 1184 How about we celebrate with some champagne?

Myron Keyes really didn't expect that.

He didn't expect that Youxing Electronic Entertainment would have such influence.

In addition to impacting his business, it can even affect his employees.

Is this considered personal charm?

The reasons for resigning were not stated on more than a dozen resignation letters.

These employees were probably trying to save face for Mikefu.

They are all excellent game developers now, and they have no trouble finding new jobs.

Since they were unhappy at this company, they were eager to try their luck at other companies.

This is the golden age of game development.

Thanks to Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's continuous output of excellent games, the entire game market is developing in a very positive direction.

Good games are now hard to miss, and players are very willing to pay for excellent games.

These game developers really don't have to worry about finding jobs.

So if that's the case, why work for a game company that doesn't respect them?

Why make yourself suffer?

Game companies are springing up like mushrooms after rain, each with its own characteristics and strengths, as well as different player audiences.

As long as you work hard and diligently, at least you won't go hungry.

If all else fails, develop an independent game; if the quality is up to standard, it can get an official recommendation from the GameStar Electronic Entertainment Battle.net platform.

Some people who quit their jobs early in Mikeford are already making money by developing indie games.
