Tokyo: Being coveted by my wife, I just want to play games

Chapter 400 Live Broadcast
As the release date of "World of Warcraft" gets closer, the atmosphere in the Holy Light Society becomes more serious. Even the employees who go to the tea room to pour coffee no longer have the relaxed look on their faces. They are more nervous and expectant.

"World of Warcraft" is too important for Holy Light Society. If this game is successful, it will mean that Holy Light Society and its GOGO game platform will reach a new level.

This will not only make Dongchuan Che's wealth skyrocket, but the development funds for the "World of Warcraft" project are also very terrifying, close to 300 million US dollars, and this development cost is mainly used for employee salaries.

The Holy Light Society has six to seven thousand people, and almost all the employees in the game department are involved in the development of World of Warcraft. Therefore, whether this game can be popular will also determine the dividends and bonuses of all employees in the entire game department of the company!

Besides, who wouldn’t want to work for a company with a better future?!
They are all [old employees] who started from scratch with the Holy Light Society. They naturally hope that the Holy Light Society can climb higher, so that their future will be even better!
The whole company is looking forward to it, not just the employees within the company.

Countless colleagues in the gaming industry around the world are also paying close attention to the game "World of Warcraft"!
Although Toru Fuyukawa's creation of "World of Warcraft" will definitely block the financial path of some people, such as the OTTO game platform and the developers of several large-scale MMO online games on the market, to be honest, more colleagues still hope that "World of Warcraft" will be popular.

On the one hand, the more popular the GOGO gaming platform is, the better it will be for gaming companies that do not make gaming platforms.

After all, this is just like Meituan and Ele.me. When the two companies were competing fiercely, not only could customers get various coupons, but restaurants that joined the two platforms could also enjoy lower commissions. But once it becomes a monopoly situation with only one company, everything will be reversed.

This relationship also applies to the relationship between game companies and game platforms. Therefore, most people in game companies actually hope that "World of Warcraft" will become popular, and hope that the GOGO platform, or Dongchuan Che, can climb higher.

In addition to the platform reasons, there is another point.
Strictly speaking, last year was still a slow year for games.

Last year, Toru Fuyukawa released several phenomenal works, such as "Elden Ring" at the beginning of the year, "FGO" and "Don't Starve" in the middle of the year, but the popularity of the entire gaming industry was only for a short time in the month when these games were released, and did not form a sustained craze.

This sign has no impact on Dongchuan Che, but it is still difficult for those small and medium-sized game manufacturers who hope to take advantage of the popularity. After all, games are not actually a necessity in life.

To put it bluntly, let alone adults who have entered the workplace, even college students will not often take the initiative to pay attention to the gaming circle when there is no breakthrough blockbuster released.

Basically, it is only through the mention of friends and classmates that I know what games have been released recently.

This has little impact on Dongchuan Che, not only because he has a great influence, but more importantly, he has money to promote it. Just like this time's "World of Warcraft", all kinds of promotional advertisements are everywhere.

Including the United States, Britain, France, South Korea, Japan, China, and almost all key cities in key countries around the world have promoted "World of Warcraft". Things like millions of anchors making videos and lighting, and poster advertisements in subway stations are all basic operations.

Like the banners near London's Big Ben, Shanghai's Bund office buildings, Paris' Arc de Triomphe, and the huge 3D screen in Shibuya. The $ million in publicity and promotion costs were concentrated in two months to announce the completion of the output. This effect can be said to be nuclear bomb-level!
Now even the gigolos and princesses who don't care about the world but only care about people in Kabukicho are discussing World of Warcraft. However, those small and medium-sized game companies obviously don't have the capital for publicity, so they also need top-notch masterpieces to attract the attention of those who are more or less interested in games but don't usually pay attention to them.

Therefore, at this time, most of the gaming peers around the world still hope that "World of Warcraft" will become a hit so that they can also get some benefits.

As for the players, there is no need to say more.

Because Toru Fuyukawa does not want his private life to be disturbed too much, and now that the company is on the right track, Miyano Mitsuha and Sato Fujiko will put the name of Seikosha in front when doing publicity and promotion, and Toru Fuyukawa's name is generally not mentioned proactively.

Although after doing so, players paid less attention to Dongchuan Che, but with the support of huge publicity funds and many excellent works, Shengguangshe has become a golden sign in the game field. It is a bit like CD Projekt Red, which produced the "Witcher series", and Rockstar, which produced the "GTA series" and "Red Dead Redemption series".

In addition, Studio Hikari, which has been responsible for the main development of many games such as "Elden Ring" and "FGO", is now a world-renowned gold medal studio.

To put it bluntly, countless players have been paying attention to World of Warcraft since the project was launched, and it was useless even with the $300 million investment in publicity and promotion by Toshikawa Che.

Needless to say, the game was released at 3pm, but starting from early morning, videos and posts with tags such as "World of Warcraft", "Society of Holy Light", "A Standard Online Game", etc. in major video websites and forums began to soar in popularity!
In fact, opposite the red building of Holy Light Society, at the entrance of Holy Light Society's No. 2 office building, which was converted from an adult shopping mall and has less than ten floors but covers a very large area, a large number of players have been queuing since last night.

There's no other reason.

Because the space on the red building is relatively small, there is only a small grocery store "Holy Light House" on the first floor, which is now run by Kawaguchi's mother. However, the first and second floors of the No. 2 office building with glass walls opposite the red building have been completely transformed into the "Holy Light Society Experience Hall" by Fuyukawa Tetsu.

The first floor mainly sells various peripheral products, such as dolls, postcards, physical game cartridges, as well as other sections such as comic books, CD animation discs, vinyl music records, etc.

During holidays, Dongchuan Che would ask young female idols from the company's entertainment department who lacked a stage to come over and cosplay and perform some shows.

It's the same this time.

Since last week, a seven-day concert has been held on the first floor of the glass-walled Office Building No. 2. Every day, different female idols dance on the indoor stage and then wear Coser costumes to interact with the guests.

Even when she is free, Izumi Himawari will go there to sing a few songs, attracting countless fans of the Holy Light Club to scream. Today is the day when "World of Warcraft" is released, and Izumi Himawari also went there early in the morning to prepare. She will perform on stage and help boost popularity.

In addition to the carnival park on the first floor, the second floor of Office Building No. 2 was also transformed by Dongchuan Chejin into an Internet cafe with four or five hundred machines.

At this internet cafe, as long as you show your GOGO platform account and your account spending has exceeded 20,000 yen in the past year, you can come and play unlimitedly for one day every week.

at the same time!

Dongchuan Che naturally did not open this Internet cafe simply to let players play games. Many developers in the game department of the Holy Light Society also need to take out half a day every week to pretend to be ordinary players and go to the second floor to surf the Internet.

During this online process, developers need to see what players are playing and try to understand players' praise and criticism of various games in a face-to-face manner.

It’s quite funny to talk about.

Most game developers work behind the scenes, so players don't know them, but the Holy Light Society holds a player meeting every quarter.

Nowadays, such game meet-ups no longer require Dongchuan Che to show up. Usually, Kawaguchi and a few small leaders from the operations department will attend. At the beginning, such player meet-ups were quite harmonious. They were an opportunity for the company's management to exchange ideas and communicate with the players. In the middle, some beautiful idols would come to sing and dance to liven up the atmosphere. But after the mobile game "FGO" was launched, the situation became different.

To be honest, there is no online game or mobile game in the world whose operation department is not criticized. But what's interesting is that because FGO is very conscientious, the krypton gold pressure is very small, and the content is very large, so players don't criticize the operation department of the Holy Light Society for this.
The game "FGO" is currently available on European and American servers, Korean servers, Japanese servers, and Chinese servers.

The European, American, Korean and Japanese servers are OK, but players of the Chinese server have a lot of complaints.

The reason is just two words - harmony.

The art director of "FGO" and "FATE" is Sayoko. Although Sayoko looks like a gentle and virtuous Japanese beauty on the surface, which is indeed the case, she also has some small quirks, that is, reading comics.

Yes, Sayoko is not only the art director of Seikosha, but also a famous cartoonist in the H-comic world - Sister Yuzu, who is well-known in the H-comic world for her sexy and voluptuous painting style and rough XX scenes.

It is obvious that the style of "FGO" under the guidance of Sayoko is much more astringent than the original version. The previous "Sword Star" and "Victory: Nikki" are inferior to her style. The female characters under her guidance, even Toosaka Rin, have become pure and lustful high school girls, and Jeanne's 36E breasts under the nun's clothes are even more amazing, which directly caused the revenue of "FGO" to explode.

Even when Toru Dongchuan occasionally plays the international version of "FGO", especially when he plays some key plots of female characters, he will be excited.

Very pornographic!

Players love it!
but.
Mainly because the players of the international server like it very much, as for the national server...
Kurozha's shaking breasts are gone, and so are Toosaka Rin, who was wearing a miniskirt, and the little bear panties that could occasionally be seen from behind when she walked.

Although FGO focuses on emotional satisfaction rather than erotic satisfaction, players definitely want more. Therefore, every time the Holy Light Club holds a player meeting, there are always players clamoring for the operation to add back elements such as breast shaking and panties.

Obviously, these things cannot be implemented in the national server, otherwise they will not pass the review, and Dongchuan Che cannot meet the players' needs. But what's interesting is that the appearance of many people in the operation department of the Holy Light Society is also well known to the players.

Sometimes when they go to the Internet cafe on the second floor to do [market research], they will be recognized by players and then teased.

Today was the same. World of Warcraft was about to be launched, and many players came to share the celebration in the Internet cafe on the second floor of the Holy Light Club. Similarly, many operations of the Holy Light Club also came to see the players' feedback, and Yui Shinkan, who just joined the marketing operations department in April this year and is known as the "most beautiful freshman", is one of them.

"Wulusai! What on earth are the section chief and his men doing? Why did they let him do the research? You know he's very introverted!"

Walking in this bustling Internet cafe, Yui Arakawa, who was dressed like a fashionable urban beauty, had no expression on the surface, but she was going crazy inside.

She is a graduate of the University of Tokyo and can be considered a junior of Toru Fuyukawa and Miyano Mitsuwa. Not only does she have a very high academic degree, but she also joined the Far East Game Research Institute founded by Miyano Mitsuwa at the University of Tokyo when she was a junior. Last year, during the spring recruitment, when Miyano Mitsuwa came to the University of Tokyo to give a speech, she met her in person.

Therefore, she is one of the key training targets in the Holy Light Society.
On the one hand, she didn't like chatting with strangers, and on the other hand, she had always regarded Miyano Mitsuha as her idol. When she submitted her resume, she applied for the position of data analyst in the marketing operations department, and dreamed of working for Miyano Mitsuha in the future.

This position mainly involves doing market data analysis behind the scenes, without having to directly contact players, and she likes this working mode. But she never expected that today their section chief would ask her to come to the second floor to do market research.

Looking at the players who were in front of the computers with high spirits and expectant expressions, Yui Shinkan bit her lip subconsciously, her eyes full of resistance and panic.

As the saying goes, you yearn for something when you lack it.

Although her idol is Miyano Mitsuha, a strong woman who is eloquent and has an amazing aura in public, she is actually a technology-oriented otaku with some social anxiety.

There is no problem at all for her to work with data, but asking her to take the initiative to talk to strangers is still quite difficult.

"How about finding a girl to interview?"

"No! Although our company's games are quite popular among female players, and the graphics of World of Warcraft are very attractive, a large proportion of female players expressed their willingness to try it in the previous trailer survey. But for an MMO game like World of Warcraft dominated by numerical combat, male players are definitely still the main group. If we only interview female players, the data will definitely be distorted!"

“As expected, we have no choice but to go for it, Yui!”

For those with social phobia, actively looking for people to talk to is indeed a great psychological pressure. But after all, she is a top student at the University of Tokyo, and Yui Shinkan is still very capable of self-adjustment.

She encouraged herself inwardly, and then sat down next to a girl who was petite but had very large breasts that were almost squeezing onto the table. Next to this little girl, there was a man wearing a baseball cap, with his face covered by a mask and gold-rimmed glasses.

Although this man's facial features were covered, he was very tall and had a good temperament. Just sitting there he could naturally attract the girls' attention.

"Are they a couple? It happens that both men and women can be interviewed. But... is it true? Such big breasts?!"

Seeing the super big Lei that the little loli could almost hold a milk tea cup, Yui Aragaki, the washboard, also muttered secretly.

But soon, she adjusted her mentality, turned on the computer, and then moved the single sofa to find a comfortable position to play on the computer. She forced a smile and looked at the little girl next to her, "Elden Fahuan, you are also a fan of the boss of this company!!! President!"

Yui Shinkan prepared herself mentally for a long time and was finally ready to start a conversation, but before the little girl could speak, the man turned his head and glanced at her, and she was instantly stunned!
No other reason!
Although Dongchuan Che was wearing a mask, glasses and a baseball cap at this time, his eyes are probably one of the most recognizable features of a person.

Moreover, although she, Xin Huan Yui, had only joined the company last year and had no chance to meet Dongchuan Che, it was not so easy to recognize her from the back. But she was also an employee of the Holy Light Society after all, so how could she not recognize her when they met at such a close distance!

She had never expected to meet Dongchuan Che here, and she was stunned and almost screamed. But just before she yelled, Xiaoshan Futaba reached out and covered her mouth.

"Keep your voice down, idiot! We're on live broadcast!"
