"But he's handsome."

Myron Case was speechless.

He really couldn't understand the mindset of these gamers.

People are willing to spend money on virtual things that don't offer any real benefits.

At least the in-game purchases in Candy Crush Saga do have some effect.

Now he understands a little better how Fortnite makes so much money.

With over 40 million registered players, even if only one tenth of them purchase a game pass, that would still generate a considerable amount of revenue.

Moreover, it excels in stability.

You can make a fortune in three months.

Gamers' money is so easy to make.

Why couldn't our own game division make a game like this back then?

Chapter 1206 We must take it no matter what!

"Alright, Myron Case, let's start the game. Let's go inside and play. Don't look at this stuff anymore."

Urged on by the head of the game department, the group decided to stop wasting time and the game officially began.

"Come on, where are we going?"

"Of course it's the retail mall. It has the most resources and the most people. What's the point if we don't fight with others?"

Myron Keyes said with some concern, "But I'm not very familiar with this kind of game."

"Don't worry, Myron, just follow behind us. We'll show you the charm of this game: killing enemies, killing enemies!"

"Alright, alright! Prepare for landing!"

"Charge!"

Once the game officially started, the two who had been somewhat dejected suddenly became incredibly energetic, as if Fortnite had some kind of stimulant effect.

Myron Case saw it all.

The head of the game department was relatively composed, but the other two were really just playing themselves.

The fun of Fortnite lies in the continuous gameplay experience; the longer you play, the more fun you get.

You'll really enjoy getting a chicken dinner once.

The two of them are now considered high-level players in Fortnite.

Especially recently, the game division has been almost at a standstill, with all game projects being completely halted due to insufficient funding.

With nothing much to do, they spend their time playing video games.

Fortnite is the game they've been playing the most lately.

The gaming department is now practically an arcade, attracting people from other departments to drop by occasionally, and then slack off and play a couple of games with them.

Before long, their team successfully broke through the retail mall and was fully armed to the teeth, with the best equipment imaginable.

What followed was the start of a massacre.

Myron Case simply followed along, occasionally providing cover or firing a couple of shots, mainly to support the two game development employees.

"Myron, I'm short on bullets, give me some."

"Okay, wait a minute."

“Myron, give me your Blue Armor Potion.”

"Don't rush."

For the first time, Myron Case was working as someone else's assistant; in the game, he was no longer the high-ranking company CEO.

Here, everything is judged by merit.

If you're not capable, just obediently serve as a support staff member.

Unsurprisingly, they won the first game easily.

With two expert players leading the team, it's generally difficult to lose.

Moreover, both of them have incredibly fast hand speeds, and when they start a battle, they can defeat their opponents in no time.

They built structures at lightning speed, and in no time, a high wall could be seen rising up beside them. Occasionally, the two would pull off some fancy maneuvers, climbing to high places through construction and then sniping their opponents from above.

Myron Case could simply watch from the sidelines.

This actually makes you feel very uninvolved.

But Myron Case was starting to feel a little bit of amusement.

But it was only a little bit of fun.

He was also starting to feel a little dissatisfied with just being an assistant to two people.

It's great to be carried by others, but he also wants to take matters into his own hands and defeat his opponents.

Myron Case was just terrible at shooting; he could never kill anyone.

"Boss, how about you skip the rifle and use a shotgun? You only need to aim roughly, then all you have to do is rush up to the enemy and fire a shot. What do you think?"

"I'll give it a try."

Myron Case took the shotgun and began to seriously practice his shotgun skills.

They won the second game easily again.

Myron Keys became even more eager to eliminate a few opponents.

"Boss, what do you think of this game? Is it fun?"

At this moment, the head of the game department asked a question, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.

Myron Case casually replied, "It's alright, a bit more interesting than I expected, but not amazing."

Myron Keyes is still somewhat reluctant to acknowledge the game.

"No wonder, boss. You weren't really interested in games before, so it's hard to be amazed by them. But you're not a serious gamer, are you?"

"Hmm? What do you want to say?" Myron Case listened to the head of the game department while concentrating on collecting supplies.

"You asked us to come here because you wanted to understand the charm of this game. Let me tell you this: this game has a kind of magic. Look, there are a hundred people in our match, and at this moment, there are tens of thousands of games going on at the same time, with millions of players competing against each other. These numbers are quite terrifying."

At this moment, an employee chimed in, "That's right, that's right. And this game also says it will collaborate with more cultural works in the future. For example, my favorite Dragon Treasure game character will be available in Fortnite. I'm definitely going to spend a few hundred dollars to buy that skin."

"What? A few hundred dollars for a skin? Are you sure?" Myron Case looked at the employee as if he were a freak.

"This is nothing. Spending a few hundred dollars is a piece of cake. I usually spend money to buy even more skins. I estimate that I've already spent five or six thousand dollars on this account."

In just three months, one person contributed five or six thousand dollars, and that was just one person.

How many people are like him?

This is all real money.

The larger the player base of a game, the higher the proportion of heavy spenders will be.

This seems to be creating a virtuous cycle: the more people play the game, the more willing they are to invest time and money in it.

If tens of millions of users could become the property of Mikeford, Myron Keyes would probably be laughing all the way to the bank.

"Hey Myron, fire! There's an enemy over there!"

"Oh!" Myron Case snapped out of his reverie; he had been thinking about all the benefits the game had brought him.

If they developed this game, wouldn't that be enough to propel Mikelford to new heights? Tens of millions of users!

boom!

Myron Case easily defeated the opponent who suddenly appeared.

Clearly, that opponent was also a novice, completely unfamiliar with the game's mechanics, and was thus defeated by Myron Case, who was already somewhat familiar with the gameplay.

After eliminating this player, Myron Case felt a strange sense of accomplishment.

I also took down one of the enemies!

Honestly, it felt pretty good.

But he is a calm person; he won't lose himself because of the fun in the game.

Instead, he will think more carefully about the various benefits of the game.

If even I'm starting to feel a little bit of pleasure, then how many more people will be unable to extricate themselves?

At this point, the head of the game department offered another helping hand: "According to my sources in the industry, Fortnite may be holding an esports tournament and is preparing to solicit equipment sponsorships. Boss, I see that you seem very interested in this game right now. So, if you use Mikerford's equipment to play the game in the esports tournament, it might leave a deep impression on tens of millions of players?"

Myron Case completely lost his composure upon hearing this.

In any case, we must get Fortnite available on our platform as soon as possible!

Chapter 1207 Playing Hard to Get

Myron Casey couldn't possibly fall in love with Fortnite in such a short time.

But he has actually started to become interested in the game.

With the help of two powerful figures, he could effortlessly obtain various rewards.

Although this was entirely because he spent $100,000 to hire people to play with him.

But later on, he decided to play the game more often.

Even if he's not interested in the game, he has to pretend he is.

This time, he finally started to seriously address the player community.

Once you win over the player base, you could have tens of millions of users, and no company would underestimate such a number.

So the next day, Myron Case personally contacted Nintendo headquarters.
