114 Investigative Reports

After arriving at Lin Shuang's ward, Zhao Nuo returned disappointed again, the woman was still asleep just after the operation.

The good news is that the doctor said that the operation was successful, and Lin Shuang's health is also in good condition. If nothing else, there should be no sequelae such as disability.

It was half past one in the afternoon when he drove back to the company, Zhao Nuo walked straight into the office of the planning team, looked at a few jokes who were still eating and chatting in the office, and asked, "What are the results of the investigation?" ”

"We conducted a survey on a large chat and dating site, which belongs to the type of pop-up ads, so 75% of users turned it off without even looking at it." Wang Zhihao, the person in charge of the planning team, put down the "shrimp chips" in his hand and pushed his glasses.

"Don't say it's useless, let's get to the point first." Faced with this guy who often talks nonsense in a serious way, Zhao Nuo was also a little helpless.

Although the investigation has only just begun, the results of the previous period are very telling. Generally speaking, the number of jΓΉ percentages in the early stage of this survey is not too far from the final result.

"Oh, wait for me to see."

Wang Zhihao clicked on a web page as he spoke, and then motioned for Zhao Nuo to come over: "Look at it yourself." ”

Zhao Nuo walked over and saw the first question on the screen: "For domestic sci-fi FPS games, what kind of way will you get in touch with guΓ²?" ”

"Your investigation is too straightforward, right, come up and ask this?" Zhao Nuo asked.

"There are still a lot of questions ahead, but those are within the scope of our analysis, and this is the focus, so let's just look at this for now." Wang Zhihao said.

Looking at the answer to the question, Zhao Nuo immediately realized that the shape was not optimistic:

In the answers below, 63 percent chose "download pirated copies to play" and 15 percent chose "borrow other people's CDs". Another 10 percent of people chose "not interested, don't play", and only 12 percent of the options were "will support the genuine version".

Even though the results are no longer good, Zhao Nuo knows that the percentage of people who support the genuine version should be lower than the percentage in the questionnaire.

There are a lot of people who just talk about it or just play casually, and if it is really on sale, it is unknown whether they will buy it.

So, now the question arises: how do you get players to buy genuine games?

"How about we use a paid download model? Many people don't like to buy the physical version, they prefer the simple and fast electronic version. Zhao Nuo put forward his opinion.

ALTHOUGH THEY ARE STILL INSISTING ON BUYING THE PHYSICAL VERSION, PEOPLE LIKE THEMSELVES ARE NOW IN THE MINORITY, AND MANY GENUINE PLAYERS NOW BUY THE ELECTRONIC VERSION DIRECTLY ON PLATFORMS SUCH AS STEAM, OR IN HOME PHONE STORES.

The electronic version of the game is a bit less expensive than the physical version, and the only drawback is that you can't sell second-hand discs if you get tired of playing it. However, for people who have the money to buy genuine copies, unless they buy unbearable garbage works, they will not resell the games they bought.

"I don't think it's feasible to pay for downloads, and most players are still habitually downloading pirated copies for free. If it's a direct paid download, their acceptance shouldn't be very high. ”

Wang Zhihao immediately analyzed: "And there is another problem, after a person downloads it, he can copy the game to other people, unless he uses an anti-piracy mechanism such as CDKEY, but this kind of thing will be cracked sooner or later." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Although he is reluctant to admit it, as a veteran player who has played single-player games for many years, Zhao Nuo knows very well: Wang Zhihao's words do make sense.

With the current cracking technology, even if you use CD-KEY, it will be cracked in less than two days.

And if you use an overly complex anti-piracy mode, it will cause disgust and disgust among players.

For example, the infamous "STARFORCE" anti-piracy software not only failed to uninstall like a virus, but also damaged the optical drives of many genuine players, so that the scolding was overwhelming.

"It seems that the anti-piracy side will not work, so how to do it?" Zhao Nuo fell into deep thought.

Just then, his phone rang again.

"Hello?"

"Xiaonuo, the bonus for your assistance in solving the case has been hit on the card. Take a good look for yourself. Zhang Hang's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Oh, how much?" Zhao Nuo asked casually.

"Five hundred thousand." Zhang Hang replied.

"That's many, isn't it usually fifty thousand?" Zhao Nuo asked in surprise.

The bounty offered by the police is generally not too high, and the most he has seen before seems to be only 200,000, so many bounties are really unexpected to him.

"The case is different this time, you know, forget it, I'll talk about it when I'm free, I'll sort out the file and hang it up first." Zhang Hang hung up the phone after speaking.

"......" Zhao Nuo put the phone back in his pocket, and then began to continue thinking.

After discussing with the people in the planning team for a while, it was close to the end of work, Zhao Nuo packed up his things, and drove Jian Tong home.

Walking into the house and looking at the familiar messy room, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The serial murder case in Xicheng District has been solved, and now I can finally sleep peacefully. And he also got a lot of honorarium, which is really "killing two birds with one stone".

"How about we go out for a meal to celebrate?" He said his mention to his cousin, who was sitting on the couch.

"Oh, yes, yes." Jian Tong nodded happily.

Then, Zhao Nuo took out his mobile phone and called Zhou Yan and invited her to come with him.

The main credit for solving the case this time is actually on that Lori's side, although she should have also received a bounty, but it is natural to invite her to a meal.

Moreover, I still have something to say to her.

――――――――――――――

"Whew, you're well fed."

Jian Tong, who was "full of wine and food", leaned back on the chair contentedly, stared at the empty dining table in front of him, and rubbed his stomach with his right hand.

"Thank you, I'll go back first." The little pale girl stood up, nodded politely, and was about to leave.

For some reason, Jian Tong always felt that this girl was extremely restrained in front of her, could Zhao Nuo really be a lolita and do something strange to her, right?

"What am I thinking...... How could my brother do something like that. ”

Dispelling her cranky thoughts, Jian Hitomi burped contentedly, not at all having the feeling of a virtuous lady that a girl should have.

Then, she heard Zhao Nuo say:

"Zhou Yan, how about moving to the city? If you don't have anywhere to go, you can come and stay at my house. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Hearing this, Jian Tong's mind instantly stagnated, and was replaced by a terrifying flame:

"You, you...... What are you going to do with her? She jerked to her feet, pointing at her cousin and shouting in a panic.
