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

Chapter 452: Chapter 157: It’s Quite Nice to Be Able to Contribute to the New Art that Young People Like Nowadays_2

The reasons for this are partly due to the era’s developmental background.

Around the millennium, the economy was not particularly strong, and the disposable income of the citizens was limited, so spending money on legitimate games was a luxury.

Piracy was rampant in the market, almost severely hindering the domestic game ecosystem.

The single-player game market was battered, while online games and card-drawing pseudo-single-player games began to rise unexpectedly.

The use of SE’s pay-to-win strategy has continued to this day.

This in turn created another ecosystem.

The platform’s implementation was far from ideal.

Unlike the single-player market, where each sale directly translates to profit—the more you sell, the more you earn—they focused on moving large quantities.

Online games and card games are both focused on individual IP.

A single user has the potential to continuously unlock their latent power.

A wealthy tycoon, if using another’s channel, could have more than a small fraction taken from them.

If that person is also a major spender on server maintenance, but recharges using the iOS system, the entire game company would probably try to switch them to Android.

As a result, the era when online and card games rose to prominence was extremely unfavorable for the development of gaming platforms.

It wasn’t until about ten years ago that players got tired of such heavy pay-to-win games.

Only then did the single-player game market begin to show signs of recovery.

Although it still wasn’t great, the practice of buy-to-play plus in-app purchases was clear to the developers on Blue Star.

Add to that, some old online game developers also kept launching new online games.

Even if just to provide a convenient login collection for players.

Vgame, EasyGame, and CN·SEgame—the three major gaming platforms—thus emerged, concurrently starting to act as channel agents.

When we started out, we didn’t want others to reap the rewards through channels, but once we made it, we could use our platform as a channel to harvest other small developers!

In the past two or three years, with the meteoric rise of "Number One Player," the PC game market was dealt a significant blow.

Allowing more small single-player game developers to survive.

Over these two or three years, various game collection platforms have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain.

But being in the early stages, naturally, they couldn’t compete with the long-established foreign platforms.

Therefore, looking across the vast Huaxia Nation.

One would discover.

There is no standout gaming platform to speak of.

Ke Jin’s intention was also quite straightforward.

By continuously creating buzz for "Top Information," he first wanted to make it into an APP the players rely on.

Then he planned to transform it into an online digital game store, where game cartridges, gaming peripherals, and digital games could be sold.

Next, by integrating both ends, he aimed to become a globally recognized game distribution channel, using a lower commission rate to allow more small developers who genuinely want to produce quality games but are at an impasse, to survive and thrive.

Finally, leveraging his inherent advantage of nearly zero trial and error costs in game development, he intended to create a gaming platform that’s more suitable for both players and game designers.

He had IP at his disposal, and all were guaranteed to be popular upon release, so income was not a concern.

Money, once it accumulates to a certain amount, is just a number.

But if it can be turned into smiles on numerous players’ faces and give countless game designers a glimpse of a viable future.

It wouldn’t be a wasted journey to Blue Star.

The system he had provided him with honors, fame, wealth, and a following that he never dreamed of in his previous life.

These were given by the system, but also by the players of Blue Star.

It was time for him, in turn, to give back to this diseased gaming market of Blue Star and bring about greater change.

This prolonged strategy still needed time to mature.

After all, there were so many gaming capitals eyeing greedily.

Getting them to spit out the cake they had already swallowed was clearly a challenging path fraught with obstacles.

However, Ke Jin was not in a hurry.

This year, fully counting, he was just 25, and even if he had to employ a long-haul strategy.

He could outlast a bunch of gaming capitals.

"Alright, that’s all we need to discuss for this meeting. In due time, I will provide you with the handheld game project plan. Okay, break—"

Before he could finish the word "meeting," he was interrupted by Liu Xuanxuan, the head of the business department.

"Mr. Ke, there is a matter I need to report to you."

"Hmm?" Ke Jin gathered the documents from the table, straightened them, and then tapped them on the table to align the pages.

"Tianci Company has decided to help us upgrade the secondary server they had given for free to a primary server."

"Crack." Upon hearing this, the papers Ke Jin hadn’t yet aligned scattered...

Like a flurry of large snowflakes, they spread all over the floor.

"When did this happen?"

"Just before the meeting?" Liu Xuanxuan observed her boss Mr. Ke’s slightly stiff expression, cautiously pursing her lips.

Mr. Ke’s reaction, why doesn’t it match what I expected...

Shouldn’t he be happy about this kind of free upgrade...

"Why didn’t you mention it sooner?" Ke Jin frowned slightly.

"Ah... I, um..." Liu Xuanxuan really wanted to say.

You started talking about your issues the moment you came in, and I didn’t get a chance to interject...

At this moment, other employees chimed in one after another.

"Mr. Ke, this is great news."

"Maybe it’s the problem with that secondary server, like a bug in the priority settings of the server, causing it to mysteriously redirect traffic to itself and frequently crash?"
