17 Chapter 17
Lao Liu left the office with an indescribable expression.
Jiang Qiubai continued to return to his seat to think carefully.
As he said before, this game is indeed a hit at first glance, but the size of the game is here, and there will always be a day when everyone will be cleared.
At that time, that's when the popularity of the game slowly goes downhill.
He had also thought about whether to update new maps or new versions on time so that players could always keep things fresh.
It's just that inspiration is always useful, and a person's design style is too obvious, and players will always get tired of playing for a long time.
If only there was someone whose inspiration could be inexhaustible...... Wait, it seems to be true.
After thinking about it, Jiang Qiubai came up with a way to win with the players.
It's just that in terms of price, Jiang Qiubai is still considering whether to let players set the price freely or let him set the price uniformly.
Jiang Qiubai was thinking about the pros and cons of the two methods, when suddenly his mobile phone rang.
He was stunned, it has been more than a month since he crossed over, the original owner's parents died early, and there are no relatives around.
This is the first time he has received a call in this world, and it is still a phone with no notes, and the area code at the beginning is also very strange.
Could it be that something happened to the original owner's family?
Jiang Qiubai worked hard to dig out the fragments related to the original owner's family from his mind, picked up the phone, and waited silently for the other party to speak.
At least you have to know who the other party is.
"Someone has been eyeing you lately, trying to use the Dragon Slayer Knife gimmick to promote their new game." The other party reported the name of the studio and the game.
His voice seemed to be processed, mixed with an electric sound.
"You are?" Jiang Qiubai's fingertips rested on the table and tapped gently.
"You treat me as a righteous passerby." There is no plan to disclose his information: "The other party is already building momentum for that game, and the name is the same as yours, saying that it is a permanent free game." ”
"This ...... Passerby big brother? Jiang Qiubai pondered the title: "Thank you for telling me this." ”
"That's it? And then what? The other party did not seem satisfied: "Aren't you going to do something to stop him?" ”
"Block?" Jiang Qiubai repeated the word softly: "Why should I stop it? ”
"The game's promotional routine is very similar to yours." "If you don't stop it, the player will be pulled over by them," the other party emphasized. ”
"And will you?" Jiang Qiubai asked rhetorically.
"Of course I don't ......" the other party replied subconsciously, and then realized that he had been tricked, and his tone sank: "You don't need to think about me, but most of the players in this game." ”
Jiang Qiubai pondered for a while, and finally only said, "Thank you, I'll go and see that game." ”
The other side seemed to be a little dissatisfied, but he didn't force it, and only emphasized repeatedly: "You must keep the players, otherwise the next sect competition will be boring." ”
Yes, this one is estimated to be no less kryptonite.
After saying this, the other side did not hang up the phone immediately, but fell silent, Jiang Qiubai did not press and hang up, and waited quietly for the other side.
After a while, an awkward voice came from the other side: "Will there be any activities in the back of the game?" ”
The other side also seemed to know that this kind of behavior was not good, and assured Jiang Qiubai: "I'm just curious, and I will never tell the third person." ”
Jiang Qiubai smiled and picked out something that might be of interest to the other side: "In order to bring players a sufficient sense of challenge, when the winner of the player's district server sect is the same gang for many times in a row, we will consider merging the server with a server with the same situation. ”
To put it simply, it's a co-service.
Jiang Qiubai's words are high-sounding, as if every word is considering the player.
In fact, this is what he thought about when he first designed the game, and when the game reaches the middle and late stages, the number one school in the general server will be fixed, and at this time, it is inevitable that some people will feel that it is not challenging and exciting enough.
This is an inevitable trend, and if you want to alleviate it, you can only find a more exciting way to play for them.
At that time, Jiang Qiubai would merge the servers of the two First Sects with equal strength.
It's boring to be number one all the time? Then I'll give you the first place in the airborne other regional servers, so that you can rekindle your momentum.
In this way, you can play back and forth, and it will be exciting enough.
This is also the reason why Jiang Qiubai chose to open so many regional servers - anyway, there are so many servers, just like that.
"Good, good." Hearing this, the other side became interested, "I would have opened the gang leader next door a long time ago, if it weren't for the fact that there were only two gangs in that server, it would be his turn to be the first?" When the service is combined, I will be the first to go to him. ”
The other side hung up the phone happily.
Jiang Qiubai put down the phone, and his face sank instantly.
Who is this man? How easy it is to get his information.
Although it seems that this person is on the same front as himself, what if something changes in the future?
If he can know his mobile phone number, then he can also know the company's secrets.
If company secrets are leaked......
Jiang Qiubai was silent for a while.
It seems that there are no secrets for the studio to leak now.
But in any case, I actually neglected this, and it seems that in the future, I need to strengthen more protection in terms of network security.
Jiang Qiubai decided to spend a lot of money to hire professionals to keep the studio's firewall safe.
This time the person came with good intentions, and if he didn't care about it, the next person might not be.
After emphasizing to Lao Liu that he must find a few capable people to be responsible for maintaining the network security of the studio, Jiang Qiubai focused on what the person said.
He is not surprised that the daily turnover of his game reached 3 million on the day it was launched, and I don't know how many small studios of his size were red-eyed.
And others may not care, but industry insiders only need to look at it to know that his game is not expensive to make.
Low cost, high return, how tempting.
Under this temptation, it is normal for someone to be tempted, calculate the time, from the idea to the production of the finished product, it is almost exactly these days.
Jiang Qiubai recalled the name of the game that the man told him, searched for it, and sure enough, he saw the relevant advertisement.
Just looking at it, Xiao Yang, who was assigned an update task by him, walked in, and just wanted to speak, but after catching a glimpse of the advertisement, he swallowed what he originally wanted to say: ", boss, isn't this our game?" Someone copied our game? ”
This is Xiao Yang's first reaction, and he is not to blame, after all, the advertising of this game is made, compared with the previous advertisements placed by their studio, except for changing the background to the starry sky, the rest is almost the same, all of them are to fight a monster and burst out a bunch of equipment, and then a line of big words flashed, telling everyone that this is a free game.
Jiang Qiubai didn't answer, followed the advertisement and clicked into the game reservation interface, and then looked at the game introduction.
Then I closed the webpage with confidence.
It's okay.
Xiao Yang followed Jiang Qiubai to read the other party's game introduction, with a tangled look on his face, but still said, "Boss, should we contact the studio over there?" ”
The sound is an octave lower than before.
"Contact what? Do they have the same background as ours? Jiang Qiubai asked.
Xiao Yang paused, "It's different, it's a Star Wars game, but they have a lot of recharge packages like us." ”
In Xiao Yang's opinion, isn't this tantamount to imitating the core of their game!
"And do they play the same type of game as ours?" Jiang Qiubai asked again.
Xiao Yang was silent again, "...... Their process is to level up, develop planets, build starships, and fight for control of other planets, but like us, there are plenty of top-up packs. ”
The point is that there are a lot of top-up packages!
Even the other party directly wrote the recharge package in the game introduction, and also made a promotion: if you make an appointment in advance, the recharge gift package will be discounted.
"Co-authoring our game is a top-up package in your eyes?" Jiang Qiubai smiled and shook his head: "It can be seen that this game took time to make, and the gameplay is different from ours. It's just estimated that they coveted our income, and temporarily changed some props into gift bags, and as for their advertising design, they should just want to rub our popularity. ”
Although the advertisements are very similar, when you click on the game introduction, you will find that the other party's game and yourself are two ways to play.
Jiang Qiubai sighed in his heart: People in this world are still a bit disciplined, at most they just learn marketing methods.
Unlike the world before him, today this game is popular, and tomorrow there will be several similar skin games.
The key is that you can't sue yet, or it's hard to have any results if you do, and everyone who does this knows that it is difficult to have the results they want when it comes to plagiarism judgments about games.
Because when making a judgment about plagiarism, the most important thing in law is to see whether the underlying logic code is consistent, followed by words, art, music, or more famous character names.
It looks like it's complete, but in fact there are still quite a few loopholes.
For example, the most attractive thing about a game is the gameplay.
Today you have a happy farm, tomorrow I will have a happy ranch, what functions do you have, I also have what functions, but the text, sound effects and pictures in me are all replaced by my own.
What can you do with me?
In Jiang Qiubai's original world, there were large companies that saw that other studios had released potential games, and directly contacted the acquisition, and if the acquisition did not succeed, they immediately produced a leather game, relying on the traffic of large companies to force the original game to death.
This kind of thing is not uncommon, so even when he first thought that the other party had copied the Dragon Slaying Treasure Knife, Jiang Qiubai didn't have much turmoil in his heart
There is no other, but habit
Compared with these operations, this game studio only uses this way to gain popularity, which is already very conscientious.
"Will that affect our players?" Xiao Yang still had a bitter face, what he was worried about was this.
Good employees for the sake of the studio, Jiang Qiubai admired in his heart, and then shook his head: "Don't worry about this game, you can't make any waves." ”
