Chapter 142: You Did It On Purpose!
More than a week after its launch, it was officially announced that "Warm Around the World" will be suspended, and at the same time, the full amount of all recharged players will be returned.
As soon as the news came out, all players and industry practitioners were shocked.
That's too capricious! On the major game community platforms, players are talking about this.
"Damn, this is too capricious!"
"It's probably the fastest dead game ever!"
"It's not the fastest dead game ever, but it's definitely the fastest dead game so far this year."
"Actually, let's focus on The Elder Scrolls Online: Skyrim, I can't wait to see what this game looks like."
"Anyway, I'm the only one who thinks this game is okay? And it's also very conscientious. ”
"Actually, it's okay in all aspects, it's just not attractive."
"The point is that you can't make money, after all, you have to eat."
Countless players have discussed this strategy of Nebula Games on the Internet, after all, this closure is too decisive, and judging from the subsequent word-of-mouth performance of the game, in fact, this game has not collapsed.
Most of the reviews given by players are also not very fun, which is a relatively paddling evaluation.
Not only players, but also those in the gaming industry who are paying attention to this game are also stunned.
Even if it fails, isn't it generally necessary to continue operating?
Why did you stop the service so decisively? This shouldn't be!
Everyone is puzzled, this kind of player feedback is not interesting, and the revenue is not good, but the reputation has not collapsed, and it is even a good game.
Generally, at least one version of the update will be carried out, adding new content and gameplay, either to make the game or to completely kill the game.
But like Nebula Games, it's only been online for a week, and after seeing a rough hint, it was announced that the game would be suspended, what kind of god operation is this!
Was the death sentence pronounced so quickly?
Anyway, so much cost has been invested, and it has been successfully launched, even if you want to stop the loss, you will have to add some content in at least a month, and see how the revenue responds before the death penalty, right?
For this operation of Nebula Games, everyone can't understand it.
Of course, it doesn't matter if they don't understand what Nebula Games thinks, they can guess.
In an industry discussion group, everyone expressed their opinions on the operation of Nebula Games.
"Nebula Games is so ambitious, don't you really think that every game you can succeed?"
"In fact, although this game is not so good, it can be regarded as mediocre, and it is not too much of a problem to make a profit if you run it well and recover the cost."
"It is estimated that it is a continuous success, but this time it suddenly did not achieve explosive results, and there is some unbalanced mentality."
"Yes, there have been a lot of examples of this before, I heard that the cost of The Elder Scrolls Online: Skyrim that they are developing has reached 500 million? If this fails, tsk. ”
"500 million is not enough, after all, there is still NetDragon in the game, but two or three hundred million is estimated to be gone."
"It's a great achievement, it's good if it succeeds, but if this "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" fails, it is estimated that the building will collapse by then."
At about a quarter past ten in the morning, it was the golden time to go to work and fish, and a group of people were discussing in the group, as if they had seen the future of Nebula Games from the failure of "Warm Around the World".
Until a person whose ID name is Li Ran but has a nebula tag in front of him, suddenly posted a table diagram and a paragraph in the group.
"Biochemical Survival" successfully broke 200 million last month, and the bonus alone this month was more than 30,000! It's a little annoying, but I heard from the General Department that at the end of this month, the project bonus of "Biochemical Survival" will be issued, and it is likely to be 24 salaries, and I feel that I have suddenly reached the peak of my life. ”
Caught off guard showing off, pretending to be caught off guard, looking at the people who came out to speak, everyone was silent in an instant.
That's right, there's a hen that lays golden eggs, and even if The Elder Scrolls Online: Skyrim fails, it won't break your bones!
But everyone subconsciously ignores this matter, why do you have to point it out?
Does it stand out from the crowd?
You did it on purpose!
However, when did the people from Nebula Games join the group?
At this time, someone noticed that the company label in front of Li Ran was a little strange.
"I remember you, didn't you do the program at the goose farm before? When did you go to Nebula Games? At this time, someone suddenly remembered the other party and asked a little curiously.
"That's the yellow calendar of the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Month? The goose farm has long since closed down and changed to sell geese, and I entered Nebula Games last year, and I feel that the wisest choice in my life is to enter Nebula Games. ”
A program was completed on the other end of the phone, and when he noticed an industry group that had been added to the mobile phone when the goose interacted with him, Li Ran couldn't help but show a smile on his face.
In addition to being responsible for all aspects of the planning of the game, the big guy and the awesome big touch art master are these.
The remaining ordinary employees, in the case of similar professional skills, fight for a luck, fight for an opportunity.
To be able to encounter a good project, as long as you are not too stupid, not too lazy to work hard, not to mention unrealistic things like soaring, but it is definitely not a problem for the salary to be improved instantly.
For example, Nebulas Games has recently reached a cooperation with UEGA and NetDragon, including technical guidance, which are opportunities that are not available in some second- and third-tier game manufacturers.
At this moment, Li Ran was extremely happy, glad that he had graduated and entered the Big Goose Interactive, and even more fortunate that when the Big Goose Interactive went bankrupt, he did not follow the original leader Lao Ma to sell the Big Goose.
It was because of all this that he was able to enter the Nebula game.
Looking at the discussion of a group of people in the chat group, Li Ran smiled slightly.
Forget it, let's keep a low profile, don't run out of time.
"Li Ran, Mr. Yang is looking for you to go to the conference room."
Li Ran, who was lamenting his fate, suddenly shook the mobile phone next to him, and a dialog box popped up on the computer at the same time.
"Roger!"
Hurriedly replied on the computer, Li Ran put the badge on the table around his neck and walked towards the conference room.
Li Ran, who arrived at the conference room, found that in addition to him, there were many people, including Chen Shu, Zhang Li and a group of art girls, who were also in the conference room.
Could it be that the company has made a big move again!? No, isn't The Elder Scrolls Online: Skyrim in development? Is there enough manpower for another big move?
Looking at the battle in the conference room, Li Ran thought a little strangely.
Everyone whispered a few words of greeting, without waiting for them to figure out why.
The door was pushed open, and Yang Chen and Wang Yaliang entered the conference room with their computers.
