Chapter 1244 Yu Fei's Crisis Awareness
The system does not allow full refunds to former players. After all, "Back to the Shore" did not reach the free standard until this month.
However, in order to take care of players' emotions and maintain the company's reputation, partial refunds are no problem.
As the saying goes, buy early to enjoy early, buy late to get a discount, don’t buy and wait for nothing.
Games are the most expensive when they first come out, and then the discounts are getting bigger and bigger. This is not only a promotional strategy for businesses to maximize profits, but it has also become a habit and consensus among players.
Including many e-commerce companies, they have also introduced price insurance policies. If there is a sharp price reduction in the short term, the difference will be refunded.
Of course, there are many reasons here, and Pei Qian doesn't know what the specific ones are, and he doesn't care. He just uses this pretext to refund the players.
To be able to send back the money that has been put into the pocket of the system, is there anything in the world more happier than this?
Yu Fei couldn't help showing a shocked expression.
Very conscientious!
Boss Pei is really Boss Pei, always so extraordinary!
In fact, most players are still very accepting of the fact that the game is free. Even if they just bought the game at the original price, it will be free. Even if the manufacturer does not have any compensation measures, most players will not cause trouble because of it. It's just to make a few comments on the Internet and laugh at my own luck.
After all, manufacturers give games discounts or free games, which is a good thing for the player group. It is a bit too much to ask manufacturers to compensate players who have bought games before.
But Mr. Pei didn't need the player to say anything, and he took the initiative to give a refund and compensation!
As an old game, "Going Back to the Shore" still often appears on the hot-selling list of the official platform, and it is also a frequent visitor to the hot-selling list of action games.
So many players are wondering, is there anyone who hasn't bought "Going Back to the Shore"?
Such a game is itself a stable source of profit for the company.
What's more, "Eternal Fallen Reincarnation" has been a great success, and the ontology of "Back to the Shore" can be called a combination of two swords. Most players already have a consensus that "they must be packaged and bought together".
Needless to say, old players, the key is that those new players who have recently entered the pit, why don't they have to package and buy "Back to the Shore" after buying "Eternal Falling Reincarnation"?
That's another lot of income!
As a result, President Pei actually gave him free of charge at the key node of "Back to the Shore".
It can only be described with the word arrogance.
Yu Fei nodded immediately: "Okay, Mr. Pei, don't worry, I will definitely arrange this matter!"
He pondered that although he was about to leave soon, if he could facilitate this matter before he left, it would be regarded as offering flowers to Buddha and doing a great deed to the players.
My brief experience as a guest chief designer at Tenda was a perfect ending.
Pei Qian nodded with satisfaction: "Well... the second thing, you go and call everyone, let's have a meeting to talk about the new game."
"what?"
Yu Fei was stunned for a moment, a little confused.
After a while, he said, "Mr. Pei, this matter doesn't have to be rushed, right?"
"Hu Xianbin will be back soon. Please wait for him to come back before holding this meeting, otherwise I will have to hand over the work to him, and many design intentions may not be able to be conveyed well."
"Hey, why is this scene inexplicably familiar..."
Yu Fei suddenly remembered that at the beginning of last month, he seemed to have done the same thing.
President Pei asked Yu Fei to cooperate with Meng Chang to make the promotion plan for "Eternal Fallen Reincarnation". Yu Fei wanted to wait for Hu Xianbin to come back and talk about it, but he didn't expect Hu Xianbin to be unable to come to the company. .
And Yu Fei could only work hard for another month.
Then this time...
Yu Fei's eyes were suddenly full of vigilance, realizing that something seemed wrong.
"Mr. Pei, is there something wrong with Hu Xianbin? Didn't the special training plan for a month? This time I won't be able to see his face at all, right?"
Pei Qian thought for a while: "Ah, that's not true."
The implication is that you should still be able to see each other.
It is said that Bao Xu arranged a three-day vacation for these responsible people to take care of the funeral. Oh no, before embarking on the journey to Shennongjia, you can return to their respective departments and briefly deal with related work.
After all, it's been a while since I left their respective departments, so it's normal to go back and see.
Therefore, Yu Fei will definitely be able to meet Hu Xianbin, and it will not be impossible for him to meet at all.
But after seeing it...it's hard to say.
Hearing what President Pei said, Yu Fei breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it's okay, I almost made up for the terrible scene that I have to replace the class for three consecutive months.
Pei Qian continued: "The main reason is that there are often some changes in the schedule of the special training class. It is normal for two days in advance or two days in advance. But the work of the game department cannot be delayed, especially for new games. Ideas must meet early and make plans early, otherwise it will easily drag down the entire development cycle.”
Yu Fei nodded, feeling that what President Pei said made sense.
Tenda's game department has always been known for its divergent thinking, wide-open brains, and strict control over the development cycle. This is a tradition left over when Huang Sibo was in charge at first, and it is also the tenet of the entire Tenda Group.
The premise of divergent thinking is that the general direction of the new game must be finalized first, so that everyone can brainstorm and design game prototypes in the same direction and within a certain general framework.
In order to strictly control the development cycle, we must also cherish every working day. After all, under the premise of not working overtime, every working day is precious.
So just to save time for handover work, it is obviously very irresponsible and inconsistent with the spirit of Tenda to wait until Hu Xianbin returns to hold a discussion meeting on this new game.
Yu Fei once again felt ashamed for his unprofessionalism.
Hey, this kind of work attitude is wrong!
Boss Pei trusted me so much that he asked me to replace him.
I also thought well at the beginning, to stand on the last shift.
As a result, in the end, this feeling of "one more thing is worse than one less thing" will naturally arise, which is very disappointing to President Pei's expectations for me!
Thinking of this, Yu Fei stood up: "Okay, Mr. Pei, I'll call them all."
...
Soon, the core members of the game department all arrived and took their seats in the conference room.
Another new game to do, happy!
When everyone developed "Eternal Fallen Reincarnation" before, although they were very excited, they also knew very well in their hearts that this was just a DLC, and after all, it was a little bit lacking.
Now it's finally time to develop the next big game!
I don't know what kind of fantastic ideas President Pei will come up with this time?
Pei Qian was very worried when he saw the expressions of those people in the game department who were waiting to be fed.
Every time I'm racking my brains to fool this group of people, it's so tiring!
Moreover, although they were successfully fooled, it was precisely because they were fooled that they often completed the game with confidence.
Over time, it fell into a vicious circle.
So what game are you going to arrange for the game department to make this time?
Pei Qian has tried too many directions before, some popular and some unpopular.
But whether it is popular or unpopular, in the end it all succeeded!
This is so outrageous.
So now Pei Qian has almost figured it out. Whether the game is successful or not may not have a lot to do with his choice. It is better to just treat it as a matter of luck and do it casually.
When Pei Qian held a meeting with Shang Yang Games before, he actually kept a plan.
At that time, everyone figured out the types of games that Tenda had not done so far, and summed up some of them, such as fighting games, audio games, sandbox games and so on.
In the end, I chose the racing game "Safe and Civilized Driving" for Shangyang Games, mainly because the "Lonely Desert Road" previously made by Tengda is not a racing game, and there is still a chance of failure in this direction.
And audio games are hard to lose money, and sandbox games are too risky once they become popular, so Pei Qian doesn't want to do it for the time being.
In the end, the option of fighting games was retained.
It just so happened that the Tenda game department first spent some time developing "Eternal Fallen Reincarnation", and there is not much time left in this cycle.
Isn't it good to arrange a niche game to play casually at this fragmented time?
Of course, Pei Qian still has no clue as to what to do with this fighting game, because he is not a fighting game player at all, and he has never even memorized the move sheet.
But so what? Anyway, the games that Pei Qian played relatively well were just like that...
Let everyone fully brainstorm first, and then make trouble, and a very strange game should be born, right?
