#160 - Taoyuan Township is too fond of players (ask for subscription)
Many highly-rated comments appeared in the Weibo comment section:
"Is this real? What do you mean by having us as spokesperson/endorser? Is there an endorsement fee?"
"I never thought that at my age, I'd get the same treatment as a celebrity. I'm a little shy."
"Inviting all players to be spokespeople is something no manufacturer has ever done before. Peach Garden Village is awesome."
Wang Fanqie, a name was confused and didn't know what form the endorsement would take.
He had to close Weibo and switch back to the game.
After the Audrey Opera House storyline, a 《代言邀请书》(《代言邀请书》: 'Endorsement Invitation') popped up on the game's main interface.
「Dear Peach Garden Village user, we sincerely invite you to be the global spokesperson for this game.」
「As a reward for the endorsement, your game playing fee will be 20% off for life!」
「In addition, as a global spokesperson, you do not need to perform any endorsement tasks, just lend your name.」
「We wish you a happy game~」
The barrage screen filled with messages :
"Permanent 20% discount on playing fees, and no obligation to perform any duties. Isn't this just a disguised way of giving players benefits?"
"Indeed, it's extremely appealing!"
"Look at this vision; overall perspective, no wonder it's Peach Garden Village!"
"Global spokesperson, sounds like celebrity treatment, hehehe~"
"They really, I'm so touched!"
" a slang expression of surprise, similar to 'holy crap', being a Peach Garden Village player, is being so spoiled by the company. I want to join now!"
Moreover, it hasn't ended yet.
Because Wang Fanqie, a name's playtime exceeded 48 hours, the free trial period ended, and the game popped up a charging reminder.
The game, unlike 《我的悠闲岛主生活》(《我的悠闲岛主生活》: 'My Leisurely Island Owner Life'), does not adopt a monthly card system, but a daily card system.
The original price is 1 yuan to play for 24 hours, but because of the discount for hiring players as spokespeople, it becomes 8 mao, a smaller denomination of yuan to play for a day.
That is to say, you only need 24 yuan per month to play unlimitedly.
In addition, the game does not have any additional item charges.
The extent to which you can play the game depends entirely on the player's ability and opportunities.
When they saw the charging standard, the audience in the live stream room were stunned:
"This game looks like it has a low investment cost, charging so reasonable/conscientious, will Peach Garden Village go bankrupt?"
"According to the current prices, what can you do with 8 mao, a smaller denomination of yuan a day? It's less than the price of a bottle of mineral water, but it can bring a whole day of happiness. What more could you want?"
" a slang expression of surprise, similar to 'holy crap', this dirt-cheap price, is simply saving us poor gamers who are suffering from a game drought."
" Carefree Mouth-Cannon Life is my problem, I can tolerate any small BUG in the game!"
Many viewers in the live stream room also compared this game with the Boss Simulator:
"Don't mention it, Su YuFan, a name's endorsement is terrible/ineffective. Youyi, a company name spent a lot of money, but the spokesperson didn't work. It's better to give this money back to the players."
"Indeed, Su YuFan, a name hasn't broadcasted since that live stream. To put it bluntly, using popular celebrities to endorse games is not a good way in itself. Different circles shouldn't be forced to merge."
……
The next day after the live stream, the game's concurrent online players reached 300,000!
While the Boss Simulator's concurrent online players dropped to 280,000.
That night, the Carefree Mouth-Cannon Life project team's chat group was quite lively.
Zhang Fan, a name flattered:
" General Manager Liu is awesome. This strategy of hiring players as spokespeople not only resolved Youyi's move of hiring Su YuFan, a name, but also found an excuse to give players benefits, and also made our game completely out of the circle.
This is simply a brilliant plan that kills three birds with one stone!"
Liu Mengyuan, a name replied indifferently:
"This is actually all thanks to Lu Yu, a name. If he hadn't said "Everyone here is a spokesperson of life" when traveling in Gusu, a place name, I wouldn't have thought of this method so quickly."
Yao Jun, a name was completely convinced:
"Although General Manager Lu usually looks leisurely, like a hands-off shopkeeper,
But in fact, he knows everything, and he's very clear about everything!
Maybe the achievements we have made now were already within General Manager Lu's expectations."
Hao Shuwen, a name echoed: "That's for sure. These small achievements are at most so-so in the eyes of him, the old layered pancake/schemer who plans strategies."
Zhao Yuhang, a name: "To be honest, the game's theme song MV is also very good. It was indeed the right decision to find Brother Mo to make a temporary appearance as an actor at that time!"
Liu Mengyuan, a name smiled slightly, concealing her merits and fame.
Since she decided on the spokesperson plan, she chose Mo Xiaoxuan, a name as the protagonist, and shot this short MV with a handheld DV, and even had the chance to be a director.
Chu Xiong, a name was quite dissatisfied:
"However, what's with the rewarded plot of Mo Xiaoxuan, a name and Miyamoto Ho, a name? Honestly confess, did you sneak in personal interests? @ Zhang Fan, a name."
Zhang Fan, a name said guiltily: "Cough, how, how could there be any personal interests? I just thought that our Milk Candy sister's surname is also Mo, so I just randomly gave her a name."
Chu Xiong, a name: "Good boy, Mo Xiaoxuan, a name is indeed the incarnation of the fourth sister. You have malicious intentions towards Milk Candy sister..."
Sun Rou, a name asked curiously: "However, why is Mo Xiaoxuan, a name's gender 'unknown'?"
Zhang Fan, a name: "I don't know about this. This was all General Manager Liu's idea."
Liu Mengyuan, a name sent a funny expression and said: "This... is a secret."
……
While the Peach Garden Village development group was full of joy, the atmosphere in the Youyi company building was becoming increasingly gloomy.
Zou Zhongtian, a name's face was livid as he looked at the increasing number of bad reviews on Weibo and the forum.
In fact, at the beginning, the item charging model of Boss Simulator allowed many players to barely hold their noses and make do with it.
After all, the overall environment of the game industry is so bad, it's good to have something to play.
As a result, when they saw that Peach Garden Village's charging model was so reasonable/conscientious, many players couldn't sit still,
They ran to Zou Zhongtian, a name's Weibo to angrily spray:
最⊥新⊥小⊥说⊥在⊥六⊥9⊥⊥书⊥⊥吧⊥⊥首⊥发！(This sentence is untranslated because it's likely an advertisement or placeholder that doesn't need to be translated.)
"Frostwolf Studio, did you accidentally add an extra zero to the pricing of your game items?"
"The Carefree Mouth-Cannon Life is a daily card system, 8 mao, a smaller denomination of yuan to play all day, and only 24 yuan a month. Everything can be obtained from the game."
"It's difficult to move without money in your game. Company management, company decoration, and social interaction all cost money. Charging for VIP can also speed up time."
"Even the battle order that only gives mosquito leg rewards costs 79 yuan, which is too expensive, right?"
Zou Zhongtian, a name felt bitter in his heart.
He never expected that Peach Garden Village would so fiercely backstab Youyi in terms of game pricing.
Even linking up with the spokesperson strategy to launch a combo attack!
Seeing that the players were scolding more and more harshly, and thinking that these moves were all used by the intern he had fired, Zou Zhongtian, a name finally lost control and began to leave messages to rebuke the players:
"Where is it expensive? For so many years, Youyi's battle order monthly card has been this price. Don't open your eyes and talk nonsense.
domestic games are very difficult. I have been following Frostwolf for so many years. I know how it got up the most. Do you know how difficult Frostwolf Studio has been over the years?
If you think it's expensive, sometimes look for the reasons in yourself. Has your salary increased over the years? Have you worked hard?"
After Zou Zhongtian, a name's outburst, he finally felt satisfied and confidently closed his computer and went to sleep.
He didn't know that this remark caused even greater backlash from the players.
Many players are bitter working class, and playing games is just to escape reality and relax. As a result, they are still ridiculed by the game officials, so naturally they are furious.
His Weibo was quickly completely captured/overwhelmed by angry players:
"I bought a watch last year!"
"Our money is not blown by the wind. Don't treat us like idiots."
"666666, players spend money and are ridiculed. So we are just walking ATMs."
"RNM refund!"
"Let's organize and ask Youyi for invoice!"
Some players also took screenshots of Zou Zhongtian, a name's rebellious remarks and uploaded them to D station. Many game area UP masters also joined the fray to release videos:
《霜狼工作室，谁给你的底气嘲讽玩家？》(《Frostwolf Studio, who gave you the confidence to ridicule players?》)
《邹中天看过来，你就一臭打工的，有什么可豪横的！》(《Zou Zhongtian, look over here, you're just a stinky worker, what's there to be arrogant about!》)
《从邹中天口嗨事件，看游戏行业从业者的傲慢之处。》(《From Zou Zhongtian's verbal outburst, see the arrogance of game industry practitioners.》)
……
At this time, Shi Yi, the general manager of Youyi Company, did not know that his subordinates had created such a big mess.
The score of 300,000 simultaneous online players for Carefree Mouth-Cannon Life obviously made him more anxious.
Shi Yi called the secretary with a gloomy face.
"You go to our technical team and make some corrections to the external data of Carefree Mouth-Cannon Life on the Youyi platform.
For example, change 5-star reviews to 1-star bad reviews.
For example, the number of online players, sales, and downloads can be appropriately corrected.
In addition, you can also work on the player reviews in the comment area.
Remember, try to use different proxy IPs, and do things cleanly so as not to affect the platform's reputation and image."
After assigning these tasks, he supported his chin with both hands, breathed a sigh of relief, and sneered at the corner of his mouth.
Little tricks, on the Youyi platform, do you really think you can turn the world upside down?
……
On Sunday, Wang Fanqie, a name's live stream room opened the third day of the Carefree Mouth-Cannon Life journey.
Because the previous live stream clips effect was extremely successful, today, the live stream room's popularity soared to 6 million.
