Chapter 364: Is There Such an Award as the “Best Effort Award”?

The miracle did not happen.

Three days later.

The sales of "School Immortal Simulator" reached 30,000 copies, and 15,000 copies were refunded.

Evaluation: mixed reviews. (51% favorable rate)

It can be said that it was a start of the collapse of the world.

Liang Sepi has almost finished his funeral arrangements in the past few days.

He also fixed a few bugs by the way.

The price of the game was set by Mr. Pu, a high price of 79 yuan.

The investment was a fraction of the fraction of the last game, and the price was 30 yuan more expensive than the last game. It was not that the players were bold and skilled, but that they were treating the players as big enemies.

Liang Sepi opposed Mr. Pu's pricing at first, thinking it was a bit too high. Their gameplay was very rich, but the picture quality they could see was not up to the level of 79 yuan, but Mr. Pu insisted on it!

He also showed enough confidence, saying that it was so expensive, and players could play it if they wanted!

Seeing the refund rate of half now, Liang Sepi smiled bitterly.

"The price is high. If users don't think it's fun, the refund rate will be ridiculously high, Mr. Pu."

However, it's useless to say this now. Even if the price is lower and the user refund rate is reduced, it will still be a failure. It's nothing more than a smaller loss. For Mr. Pu, this project has failed.

It's time for him to go.

"Liang Sepi! Come to my office!"

Mr. Pu's voice came from his office.

Liang Sepi's hand trembled slightly, and then he sighed.

What was coming still came.

He glanced at his colleagues around him, especially the three supervisors to whom he had entrusted the subsequent modifications and development content, and nodded silently.

The three nodded in return, with tears flashing faintly.

A certain emotional female designer stood up: "Manager Liang, how about we go together?"

Liang Sepi waved his hand.

"No, just do your own thing. Someone has to take responsibility for this matter."

He turned his head and entered Mr. Pu's office.

It seems that two words are written on his back: The wind is whistling and the Yishui River is cold, and the warrior will never return once he leaves!

The boss's office.

Mr. Pu looked at the steam sales, and his mouth was already upturned to the sky.

After the 15,000 sales were divided and taxed, the Duoyu Company only had more than 600,000 copies. And looking at this "mixed" evaluation, players who want to buy it in the future have to think carefully.

The most important thing is that this game is not very popular. No one recommended it in 3 days.

The sales of new games are often the highest in the few days after they are released. Obviously, this wave is stable!

"Good! Good! Good flop!"

Finally, one of the company's things went completely according to his plan!

Since the establishment of this project, they were given 5 flop strategies, with a total investment of more than 1 million, which consumed the time of the entire game department. They were not allowed to make DLC and sequels of "Goddess Simulator", and they really lost money in the end!

Although the loss was not much, it was a good thing to hold back the entire department and not let them make money!

This is a small step for the company to lose money, and a big step for Mr. Pu's personal progress!

Worth celebrating!

Liang Sepi must be called in to give him a good compliment!

"Squeak~"

The door opened.

Mr. Pu saw Liang Sepi, who looked like he had lost his parents.

Sepi's mouth curled slightly, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Mr. Pu, the loss of this game was a mistake made by my personal decision-making. I overestimated our ability. I will bear the consequences alone."

"Huh!? You will bear it alone?" Mr. Pu put away his smile and looked serious.

Liang Sepi nodded fiercely: "Yes! It's all my fault. I arranged them to work. Mr. Pu, please deal with me if you have any questions!"

He was ready to be kicked out by the "angry" Mr. Pu.

As a perfectionist, Mr. Pu has never lost money since he started his business. He has become an exception. He failed despite Mr. Pu's guidance.

It is obviously a problem with his ability.

Just don't drag down the brothers who have been secretly working overtime with him for the past few months.

Even if the salary is not paid this month!

President Pu said with a straight face: "Can you afford it alone? The bonuses of so many people are all given to you? Have you asked your colleagues!"

"Of course, I am alone. Wait? Bonus? What bonus?"

Liang Sepi was confused. He seemed to be confused. He just heard the word bonus from President Pu.

Pu walked over and patted Liang Sepi on the shoulder: "Of course it is a bonus for the game department! You have worked hard for the company for several months. I have seen your hard work. Although the sales of the works are not so good for the time being, I cannot deny your efforts! So, in order to reassure everyone, I am going to give a separate bonus to the game department. Best effort award!

You did exactly what I said and tried your best. It's the players who don't understand you! This is not your fault! It's the loss of those players who missed our game!"

After listening to President Pu's words, Liang Sepi was petrified.

There is also an award like "Best effort award"? ? ?

Isn't this a special term for deceiving superiors?

After not doing well, there is nothing to say but to say that you tried your best.

Hey, hey, hey!

I think you have nothing to praise, President Pu, so you just gave me an award!

That's too casual!

You've made me go get a paternity test after get off work to see if you are my half-brother!

Pu ignored Liang Sepi's mental state and said to himself: "I haven't considered the amount of the bonus yet. I will give it to you after the company's bill comes out next month, but tonight is to celebrate the failure of our project."

Seeing Liang Sepi's face full of questions, Pu immediately changed his words and said: "To celebrate the end of our project, even if it fails, we have to build a team together and summarize the experience! Try to make a good game in the future."

"Okay, Pu."

Liang Sepi still felt a little awkward.

Why do you feel that Pu has something to say?

But Liang Sepi looked at Pu's smiling face and seemed to be really not angry.

At this moment, the boss had already made arrangements, and he couldn't say anything.

He could only represent himself, and couldn't be generous on behalf of the employees who worked together, saying that he didn't want the bonus or something like that. That would be really a great saint.

Liang Sepi walked out of Pu's office, thinking.

Outside, the people in the game adaptation department were already anxious!

They knew what the manager was called in for at this time. One person took on Pu's anger alone!

Liang Sepi was promoted directly by President Pu from a humble background. He has always had a very good relationship with everyone, has no airs, and has high personal professional skills. People in the game adaptation department don't want him to leave, but it's not up to them.

If the project fails, someone will always take the blame.

But they have prepared measures. After President Pu finished speaking, they will collectively go to President Pu to plead for mercy, willing to bear the punishment together, even if they are fined one month's salary, they must keep Manager Liang.

This matter was conspired by three supervisors, and they have communicated with everyone in advance, and no one objected.

Seeing Liang Sepi walking out of President Pu's room "distracted", the three supervisors took the lead in charging!

Before Liang Sepi could react, the three supervisors of the game adaptation department were about to rush into President Pu's office.

He looked at the group of people in the game adaptation department in confusion: "What are you doing?"

"To plead for you! We are ready, our game department will stand together! If we have to be punished, we will be punished together! No one needs to take the blame!"

"Fuck! You are wrong! President Pu didn't fire me!"

Liang Sepi grabbed the clothes of the three supervisors.

"We will even give bonuses to our department. By the way, let's prepare for the team building tonight."

Everyone in the game department: "???"

Things are getting outrageous.
