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

Chapter 533: Chapter 172: The Game Design Conference with Generous Rewards!_6

They were truly afraid that they’d be able to complete their task.

After much thought, Ke Jin could only come up with one reason.

It must be because some unscrupulous media wanted to grab everyone’s attention.

They forcibly attributed the credit to themselves.

After all, with the status of the top player in the domestic gaming circle currently.

If you switch to some unknown person as the headline of a gaming news article.

Players might not even bother to click on it.

But if your headline mentions the words ’top player, chief designer’.

Well, then I’m sorry.

Pleasing to the eye and liked by many!

Haven’t eaten? Post more!

However, what’s done is done.

Now is not the time to be tangled up about whether the media is unscrupulous.

According to the news reports.

This experience hall named ’Game Fun’, in less than a month, has already started to explode in popularity locally in Jianglin, and is crazily spreading to other provinces with a momentum of continuously opening new branches.

Previously, the top player never restricted this situation.

After all, a market sector born from a vacuum in the early stages didn’t even have relevant legal patches issued, let alone a game company.

Currently, the solutions left to Ke Jin are not plentiful.

Either cut off their license directly.

Or, simply negotiate peace.

Ke Jin thought carefully.

Cutting the license is not secure enough.

No matter if others are riding on the tiger’s coattails.

But they have already started their operation.

To cut them off in a single stroke is the dumbest method, and it might trigger vehement criticism from players who like offline games.

Moreover, the current turnover has reached 950 million.

There’s only a few days left for the task settlement period.

Even if he cut them off, Ke Jin estimated that it would be difficult to suppress this 50 million turnover.

So, it might be better to talk to the other party about negotiating peace.

After all, they are making money off his intellectual property rights, so letting the legal department handle the negotiations, ensuring their interest, it was almost a sure thing to recruit them back.

This is a minor issue.

What Ke Jin is contemplating now is actually something else.

How should he trigger the ’fighting with the back to water’ buff?

When Switch was released, Ke Jin had already prepared for the worst-case scenario.

After all, the IP of ’Odyssey’ was too powerful, not to mention Kirby and Penpen providing support, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if it burst in popularity.

The key is how to remedy the situation.

His gaze rapidly shifted across a group of senior game designers.

Soon, Ke Jin thought of a solution.

To hold a game design competition open to all game designers!

Previously, for ’Eternity’s’ fight with the back to water, Ke Jin chose to hold an esports event.

By offering high prize money to the players, he aimed to cover the losses.

As a result, the esports event unexpectedly earned Ke Jin his investment back, and then some.

This prevented Ke Jin from daring to repeat the process.

Moreover, none of the three Switch exclusive games had any real connection with esports.

If he really held such an event and also set up a high prize pool, it would likely be suspected of money laundering...

But!

A game design competition is different.

It’s purely an expenditure project.

It’s not about selling tickets to the audience, nor like esports, which has a high level of binding with the game itself, making players start playing your game and aggressively spending money after watching the competition.

The designers’ conference has nothing to do with all that!

Even the winning entries would be someone else’s game works, and any spending would line someone else’s pockets, not his own.

It’s like diverting trouble elsewhere.

This time, surely he can’t be making money, right!
