Manager Lian on the other end of the phone is confused. They have issued notices targeting you both overtly and covertly. It’s okay if you don’t fight back, but you take the initiative to cater to support! ?
What the hell?
Is this a sign of weakness?
Or are you trying to show your kindness?
Please, aren't you afraid that the players who follow you will feel cold?
[Mr. Meng, I think you can just ignore it. There is no need to go out of your way to post.]
"Director Lian, I know what you are thinking. You are not posting this to show your kindness or anything. I don't need to do that."
Meng Shu stood in front of the window, watching a large truck marked 'moving' slowly drive downstairs, and spoke calmly.
"The post is just to show my attitude. I tell Giyou that I have no intention of competing with them. Everyone is making money in this market, and how much you can make depends entirely on your ability."
Manager Lian was silent for a moment, then spoke.
[You are right to say that. But Mr. Meng, our Infinite Online Entertainment has been competing with Tech Gaming for so many years, you should understand this]
The words were only half spoken.
But the meaning has been expressed.
Meng Shu just grinned when he heard this.
"Director Lian, the only game we have is just a small company that makes horror games. We follow the policy of having a good discussion if we want to cooperate, and creating a future together if we can work together. We have no intention of competing with any company, nor do we want to be in vain because of the problems of the cooperative company. It will have a negative impact on our company for no reason."
"I'm making money, not fighting."
After saying that, Meng Shu returned to his desk and sat down, watching Finance Sister Mei walk out in a hurry.
As expected, she should be the one to pick up the moving company.
On the other end of the phone, there was silence.
After a while, he spoke bitterly.
[Mr. Meng, didn’t you realize that your avoidance was rewarded by Jiyou’s repeated provocations? I think since you want to post something, you might as well express your stance directly. How about telling them clearly not to do this again? ]
Meng Shu smiled and shook his head slightly, understanding the intention of Director Lian.
He knew very well that the main reason why Jiyou was so targeted at innuendo was because of Infinite Online Entertainment.
Imagine that your competitor suddenly found a little-known small company, but this small company has the ability to create explosive products and bring it wealth.
This opportunity for win-win cooperation has actually gone to a competitor.
Are you feeling happy if I leave you alone?
You will only blame your own company for not being so lucky, and at the same time you will be dissatisfied with your opponent's luck.
Therefore, they will more or less express some dissatisfaction, thinking that their opponents rely on the abilities of others to surpass themselves, rather than their own abilities.
In his previous life, when Meng Shu was Qin Jie, he had seen many such scenes.
He knew exactly who the conflict was.
Since it is an issue between your two big companies, what does it have to do with My Only Game?
Just because I have a cooperative relationship with one of them, I cannot be the object of dissatisfaction in the eyes of your opponent for no reason?
That won't work.
Instead of doing this, it is better to show your attitude and let people know that your company only has a cooperative relationship with Infinite Entertainment and has autonomy, rather than being acquired.
Those of you companies that want to cooperate, just come to me, there is no need to go through Infinite Entertainment.
And what Director Lian just said was that he wanted to make a clear stand with Jiyu and stop interacting with him from now on.
Meng Shu is a veteran player in the business world, so naturally he will not agree like this.
Rather than offending a company, it is better to maintain good relations with each other.
He, Meng Shu, doesn't have that much time to spend on the infighting in the mall.
The VR version of "Dark Forest" is still waiting to be made.
"Have mercy on me, supervisor. Although it is said that shopping malls are like battlefields, and battlefields are like rivers and lakes. But I personally don't believe that someone can't help himself in the rivers and lakes. I prefer to reduce big things to small things, and make small things small."
"Their targeting actually has no impact on you or me. It's just pure rhetoric. There's no need to speak so absolutely because of such a trivial matter."
"Actually, posting updates is not just about expressing a position. More, it is about announcing the style of the next game to attract the attention of the player circle."
As soon as Meng Shu finished speaking, Director Lian, who was originally a little depressed on the other end of the phone, suddenly sounded surprised.
[Next game! ? Really? Mr. Meng! ? You have plans for a new work so soon! ? What kind of style is it? Can you tell me? ]
Listening to Director Lian's curious voice, Meng Shu responded calmly.
"It's still under construction, you'll know later."
…
The trailer of the game did not cause much response.
During this sales period of "Control Failure", most players are immersed in the horror atmosphere of the game.
Major game groups and game communities are also discussing it heatedly.
Therefore, it is really difficult to stand out from the trailer released by Jiyou.
In addition, since it is not a finished product, the attention is even lower.
Although some game groups and communities have forwarded it, the attitude of players is just 'Oh, I got it. 'It doesn't matter.
Therefore, players soon forgot about it.
until…
Danmaku.com’s shimmering light has become dynamic.
At this time, almost half of the 330,000 fans on his account have noticed this.
Today is the third day of release of "Control Failure". In addition to the first-day sales announced in the previous two days, it caused a sensation. At this time, what official announcement will be made?
Or…
Is it in response to Jiyou’s preview V blog?
After all, that V blog, while promoting its own games, did not forget to step on the "horror games on the market".
Everyone understands its purpose.
So, with expectations in their hearts and some who couldn't guess, the players clicked into Shuoguang's updates to see what was said.
But when they saw the content, they were all stunned.
Because... there's nothing weird about it, and there's no official condemnation.
Instead, it’s a hint?
Yes, it's a hint.
At least that's what the players understand.
That dynamic, in simple terms, means:
I have longed for the universe and the starry sky since I was a child, thinking about the vast black mystery and the silent breathing and heartbeat.
I dream that one day I can see the blue planet with my own eyes and feel its magnificence and beauty.
I really like all kinds of interstellar science fiction movies and enjoy the smooth visual experience.
So I, personally, am looking forward to horror games that take place in the universe.
If it happens, I will support it and experience it.
However, in order to fulfill the space dream that I have always had. As we gradually matured, we decided to create a horror game also set in interstellar and space.
We want to show the vastness of the universe!
We want to achieve extraterrestrial grandeur!
We want to complete the charming Nine Heavens Galaxy!
We want to realize everyone’s fantasy future!
Until then, stay tuned!
Wow——
As soon as the news came out, players were shocked.
From this piece of content, they got two pieces of news.
First, Shuo Guang ignored Jiyou’s provocation and expressed support for their new work.
Two, the next game is a horror game with an interstellar space background!
Players are extremely concerned about these two pieces of information, and major forums and game groups have begun to discuss them.
First of all, the first one is so generous!
How many times has Jiyou provoked you openly or covertly?
And how many times did Shuo Guang respond?
I remember the last time I responded to Techgame, I said: 'The game looks very good'.
It was less than ten words long, but it showed that he didn't care.
I recall that the promotion for Jiyou’s new game at that time was quite offensive...
Shuo Guang's simple response made the other party feel like he was punched in cotton.
Then there was the so-called gameplay plagiarism warning, saying that "Sky Mountain" copied their innovative concept of 'horror' + 'shooting'.
Shuoguang didn't even pay attention to this matter, and directly sent out a feedback activity for "Sky Mountain" players to go downstairs, letting the so-called plagiarism incident go unsolved.
As a result, it came again this time.
However, in this response, Shuoguang wrote a short article about looking forward to the starry sky, and expressed his support for the new game.
What is a pattern!
This is!
Both responses demonstrated his broad-mindedness as the founder of a game company.
Such a comparison makes it appear that they are careless and fussy.
The situation suddenly opened up.
However, since even Shuoguang, the only game maker, has expressed support for the new game, players should not mind their own business. After all, it is a matter between other companies.
Then, there is the background of the second new work.
In a word, very bold!
Interstellar space games are, to put it another way, science fiction games.
Space horror is science fiction horror.
So is the only game this time going to be an interstellar science fiction horror game?
The players were a little stunned.
As we all know, several horror games produced by Ziyi Games are all set in modern times.
Except for the W-FBC-0087 "Stairwell" short film, which takes place in the 1950s, the other games are all set in the 1980s and 1990s.
For example, "Dark Forest" took place in 1987.
Although "The Face" has the stories of several residents, when it is the protagonist's family's turn, it is 1985.
"Control Failure" is set in 199?, that is, the 1990s, and is set in the same era as "Sky Mountain". After all, the protagonist of the latter died at the beginning of the game of the former.
"Blackjack" can only guess that it was after 2000. The specific year is still unknown.
Therefore, from this point of view, the time span of these games is between the 1980s and 1990s, which is relatively stable.
If the next game is set in an interstellar setting, how different will the time span be?
And, most importantly,
This is a sci-fi horror game!
Science fiction!
High technology!
Use advanced weapons to fight monsters!
Players know with their feet that if it is made, "Bloody Scientist" will definitely crush the technical game!
This is a fact that you don’t even have to think about!
After all, no one can beat the horror games on the market now!
It just depends on whether Jiyou's "Bloody Scientist" has the strength to fight.
But given that the last game of the game was "Jungle Cry", the possibility of a battle is not high.
All I can say is, look forward to it.
As a result, players commented on the news one after another.
"A horror game that takes place in interstellar space? Is it a sci-fi horror game? Damn it, at the level of the only game, it is definitely not the level of fighting aliens like "Bloody Scientist"!"
"For a VR game in outer space, I want to know if the production team will create a weightless effect in the universe? Can we players float in the universe?"
"Can we see the Blue Star? Can we see the Moon?"
"The trailers for "Bloody Scientist" are full of buzz. I'm a little worried that this game will eventually turn into an FPS game, so I hope the only game can pay more attention to horror."
"You man upstairs in Laocao, do you want the only game to focus more on horror? Are you fucking tired of living!?"
"Is the enemy an alien? But it must not be an alien. Fighting aliens is really meaningless. Since it is a horror game, I believe Shiu Guang will be able to design monsters that are unexpected."
"I just happened to go to the parallel world in "Control Failure" today and found that the production team set the parallel world to the interstellar era. It seems that it was premeditated! It turns out that you have long planned to make a horror game with an interstellar background."
"Made, I really look forward to encountering terrifying monsters in the future interstellar era. But I'm curious, in that era where high technology is everywhere, don't humans just kill people randomly?"
"I'm really looking forward to it, but I haven't finished "Control Failure" yet, so there's no point in looking forward to it now. Let's wait."
While the discussion on the Internet was in full swing, Meng Shu was sweating profusely while moving the company.
Because, he finally changed from a small office to a whole floor with 510 square meters left in the apartment!
This chapter has been revised twice. The original one was not written well because it was involved in the business war, so it was revised.
