I Just Want Players to Save Money, They Insist on Giving Me!

Chapter 130: Chapter 68: Flight of Death, Elder Brother’s Ditty!_2

"Games that were supposed to launch in mid-March, it’s already mid-April and still no release! Is the financial condition of the top player’s family really that poor? I’m so pissed that I could just send them my dad’s eight-digit bank card!"

"An eight-digit bank account number, huh? /Dog Head"

"It’s obvious that Baby Ke is really bleeding for us to make this game. He definitely doesn’t make money from creating games. I suggest when Pubg is released, don’t think too much and just go all out and Buy it!"

"Baby Ke? Buy it!"

Seeing these comments, Ke Jin felt numb.

No!

Don’t do that!

Can’t we just talk it out?

Come on, be sensible, put your money back in your pockets.

He kept stalling for two more days.

But no matter how much he waited,

Aside from making Lu Long’s cyber family tree two pages shorter, it utterly failed to show Ke Jin the charm of the invisible hand of the internet.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Ke Jin,

Lu Long was also in a dire hurry.

Super, super, super urgent!

Ke Jin, you little bastard, are you going to release the game or not, are you making money or not?

Just release it already! What are you waiting for?

Give me that shock of a little hit IP!

I must be shocked first to confirm that your game really has the potential to explode big time and threaten our company before I can justify a ban on you!

I’m over here just waiting to ban you with a backhand and immediately turn around to start a project at my company.

Both sides engaged in an unseen clash in the void.

But in the end, it was Ke Jin who was beaten.

Nothing else, the fans were pressing him too hard.

Seeing the topic gradually shift from ’when will the game be out’ to ’are you really out of money, shall we sponsor you,’ Ke Jin could cover it up no longer.

If he let these players start sponsoring, as soon as the system-activated task began, the ultimate task would already be half-failed. What would be the point of playing then?

"Let’s launch it!" Finally, after stalling for nearly half a month using "finishing touches" and "further polishing" as excuses, Ke Jin tearfully allowed Pubg to launch.

When it came to pricing, Ke Jin didn’t dare play any tricks this time.

He kept to the buyout model, setting the price at 98 yuan and completely eliminating in-app purchases.

Even the mechanism to spend money to open boxes wasn’t preserved.

Facing a group of starving players, Ke Jin truly feared that giving them any in-app purchases would tempt them to do something impulsive.

As Pubg launched, the accompanying tasks also popped up.

[Detection: Game "Pubg" has officially launched, activating adaptive tasks matched with the game’s scale!]

[Standard Task: Reach a total of 20 million in popularity across the web within one month after the launch of Pubg!]

[Special Task: On the premise of completing the standard task, ensure that the number of units sold is below 2 million!]

...

Excellent!

Upon seeing these two tasks, Ke Jin instantly felt half reassured.

There was no waste of task refreshes; these two were quite enough.

The standard task was given, practically guaranteed to be accomplished.

As for the special task, 2 million units is not a small number.

On Earth, not many AAA games manage to sell 2 million units in their first month after launch.

After all, games like Zelda that break ten million sales in their first month are still in the minority.

Pubg also took half a year of operation before it started to boom.

In addition, if there really is a trend that could hit 2 million units within a month,

Ke Jin didn’t believe that Deng from Netcom could stay seated.

If Netcom could hold back, the other two giants would probably not be able to endure it.

"OK, let the show begin!"

"I cannot possibly lose this time!"

Full of confidence, Ke Jin watched as his staff ported the Pubg game core to the top player’s official website platform.

————

"F*ck, stop pushing me, I’m coming, I’m coming."

Just a few hours after Pubg went live,

Eggplant started his stream an hour early due to relentless private message bombardment.

As an experienced FPS player, he also watched the promotional video for Pubg.

All sorts of novel settings were dazzling, the anticipation maxed out.

At the start of the stream, he sped to the official website of the top player.

When he saw that "Pubg" was a buyout game and noticed the reminder that there were absolutely no in-app purchases, offering a lifelong play with a one-time purchase,

Eggplant was taken aback.

"Damn, this designer really doesn’t plan on making money, huh."

"98 yuan doesn’t even cover what I spend on materials to enhance a weapon in the game next door."

The chat was also flooding with comments.

"First day playing a game made by Baby Ke?"

"That’s Baby Ke for you, growing grass and milking, unlike other gaming companies who milk the players /Angry /Angry"

"Go into detail about milking the players."

"I heard that aside from long-range, the melee system in this game is also quite rich, with all kinds of knives, pans, crowbars. Eggplant, can you show us some melee chicken-eating later?"

"Melee chicken-eating? You want to see my Maoming Whetstone shatter directly, don’t you!"

Amid the playful banter in the chat, the game was quickly downloaded and installed.

Glancing through the chat, Eggplant scoffed with disdain.

"F*ck it, as long as it’s an FPS, with my skills, I’ll slaughter through, no question about it."

Entering the game, after quickly crafting a character’s face, he started to match with opponents!

Before going live, Eggplant had also checked out other streamers’ broadcasts to get a rough understanding of the game.

After getting a hundred people together, the game would start.

To avoid a long and boring wait for the players, the game featured a large plaza where all players who joined could practice and warm up their skills.
