Chapter 178: Reject the Title Party! (Add 1/2 to the memory pile)
During the time that Li Meng was the person in charge, he basically never encountered this situation.
The game disappears out of thin air, often because ESRO's rectification opinions are sent to the game platform, or it involves other infringement lawsuits, etc., and the platform removes the game. However, the platform will definitely change all the recommended positions of the game before removing the game, and the game details page will also write a rectification notice to appease the players, and arrange all aspects before removing the game.
However, I haven't heard of anyone suing "Latent Red Path", and Li Ran hasn't received a notice from the higher authorities here!
The recommended slot for "Latent Red Path" is still there, but you can't see the game details page anymore when you click in.
Li Meng hurriedly asked the program to check what was going on, was there something wrong with the platform, and why did he still mess up the game?
“…… The developer took the initiative to remove it. The program quickly figured out why.
"What? Take it off the shelves?! Li Meng almost thought he had misheard, "Are you sure?" Voluntary delisting??? ”
The program nodded: "Sure, it's taken off the shelves." ”
Li Meng was stunned at the time, what do you mean, the developer of "Latent Red Path" has a water in his brain, right? ?
Now that "Latent Red Path" is on the charts, on the recommended position, and the money is credited every minute, the developer has taken the initiative to remove the game from the shelves without any reason at all? Is it because you make too much money and burn in a panic??
Li Meng held back the fire in his belly and found Zhong Ming's Linking account again.
He found that in the past two days when the game was on the shelves, he had been holding back his anger when he communicated with Zhong Ming.
It's so irritating! Obviously, I made a game with such good data, and it is outstanding among all independent studios, and the reputation and sales are very good.
This one is good, desperately making trouble, is this deliberately disgusting people??
Li Meng: "You took the game off the shelves???? ”
Li Meng had no other choice but to ask Zhong Ming, because there is no provision in the default agreement of the platform that it cannot be taken off the shelves, and this general agreement for all games has no restrictions on this aspect at all, and the game comes and goes freely.
After all, if the restriction can't be taken off the shelves, it means that it is a relatively binding clause, and the platform often has to transfer more benefits, and it is really unnecessary for general small games, and only some key games that have attracted attention can enjoy this treatment, such as exclusive games.
After a few minutes, Zhong Ming replied slowly: "I told you, I don't accept promotional materials to deceive players with titles, I see that you don't have any intention of changing at all, so we terminate the cooperation." ”
Li Meng was stunned.
"Just because of this? Just because of a few promotional images, you removed the game from the shelves?? Li Meng is simply incredible, "You are a rich second generation with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars who came out to play tickets and make games?" Don't care about money? ”
Zhong Ming: "I hope so." ”
"Again, if you are really a rich second generation with a net worth of tens of billions and don't care about money, then I don't have anything to say. But do you know how much benefit you can get from the so-called 'title party' and 'cover party' in your mouth? This set of promotional materials can bring you at least 40% more new players, and even if only one-fifth of them stay and pay, your monthly income can increase by hundreds of thousands! Hundreds of thousands a month! You're a game producer, can you not understand this?? ”
The more Li Meng talked, the more angry he became, in his opinion, these are all very basic concepts, Zhong Ming can make a successful game like "Latent Red Path", and he must have done it in other game companies before, how can he not even know this kind of thing?
Or does he know, but he just doesn't look down on those hundreds of thousands?
Zhong Ming asked rhetorically: "Is there a game with five million monthly running water?" ”
Li Meng was stunned: "Many." ”
Zhong Ming asked again: "Are there many games with an average rating of 9.5 points?" ”
Li Meng: "...... Very little. ”
Zhong Ming said: "So, if Latent Red Path is just making some money, then what's the difference between it and other games? The 9.5 rating is the biggest difference between it and other games. ”
Li Meng was speechless: "Rating? If you want, I'll change the rating to 9.8 now, this thing is just a background data, do you think players will really look at this rating? ”
"Can you change the rating on the platform, can you change the reputation of the players?" Zhong Ming asked rhetorically.
“…… Your focus is toxic, right? Public praise? Isn't word-of-mouth a rating? Besides, what impact can such a virtual thing have on you and the game? ”
Zhong Ming shook his head, it seemed that Li Meng couldn't understand what he said.
Li Ran has been in this industry for so long, and his thinking has been completely transformed by the way of thinking of channel providers, and he only has "volume" and "income" in his eyes, and has completely lost some more important things.
For example, forgetting that integrity is the foundation of life.
Another example is forgetting that water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat.
Of course, he is not alone, it should be said that the vast majority of channel merchants in this world and even in Zhong Ming's previous life have forgotten these things.
"In that case, forget it, there are many channels for "Latent Red Path" to be released, and there is no shortage of you on one platform." Zhong Ming replied.
Li Meng was silent for a few seconds, and finally compromised: "Okay, I still use the previous promotional picture, won't I change my line this time?" The recommendation is still the same as before, as long as you hook up the game, we will definitely not change anything. You also think about the players, many players who have already downloaded but have not paid for the purchase will not be able to buy it now, and they will have to go somewhere else to toss, which is not okay? ”
Zhong Ming was speechless, some people really have to make trouble to this point in order to pay a little attention.
When I talked to you before, wouldn't it be over if you just changed the promotional materials back? Do you have to wait until I actually take the game off the shelves, you take it seriously?
……
Zhong Ming finally uploaded "Latent Red Path" on the crowdgame platform again, mainly because he didn't want to cause trouble to players.
There are a large number of players who have downloaded the game, but have not yet paid for it, and if it is taken off the shelves, this group of people will have to go to other platforms to find the game. Zhong Ming didn't want his unhappiness with the channel provider to cause trouble to these players.
However, the crowdgame platform can be regarded as a blacklist in Zhong Ming's heart.
Of course, this can't be all blamed on Li Meng, and it's not his problem alone, but all channel providers basically have this way of thinking. If "Latent Red Path" is released on other platforms this time, most of them will still encounter similar problems.
"So, it's better to make your own channels."
Zhong Ming felt a little headache, all kinds of things, there were thousands of things, and he didn't know which one to be busy with first.
Of course, this is also the problem of most independent game studios, and the resistance from the outside world will always be more than the motivation, and if it weren't for the nerves as thick as steel, the average person really wouldn't be able to persevere.
