Game Development: Start by Driving Crazy Players

　　They really don't want Founder to go bankrupt, because the bankruptcy of Founder means that "League of Legends" will be acquired by other companies, or the service will be stopped directly.

　　This is not what players want to see, and everyone is naturally the least willing to accept it, but (bgad) is acquired by other companies, and players are not willing.

　　Fang is the designer of "League of Legends", and no one understands the essence of this game better than him.

　　If "League of Legends" is acquired by others, players can't guarantee that other designers can make such an authentic feeling.

　　"Actually, I came to the club today by taxi. "League of Legends" is a hit, but correspondingly, the more popular the game, the more pressure I have."

　　Fang Zheng smiled bitterly, his expression a little heavy, and his tone was very low when he spoke.

　　"League of Legends currently has about [-] million stable online users, which means that the regular server can no longer meet the needs of players, so the server fee alone has already made me more than I can make ends meet."

　　Servers are always a topic that cannot be avoided in online games, even more so in "League of Legends".

　　After hearing Fangzheng's explanation, Tian Siyi's face was a little stunned.

　　Although she doesn't know how much money a server that can accommodate [-] million people online at the same time requires, it is probably not a small amount to make Fang Zheng say bankruptcy.

　　"Mr. Fang, will the follow-up "League of Legends" adopt the method of charging?"

　　"will not!"

　　Hearing Tian Siyi's question, Fang Zheng shook his head and said very firmly.

　　"League of Legends is free forever. This is what I promised at the beginning. This sentence will never change. In order to make up for the pressure of funds, I will try my best to develop new games. Players can support me a lot, and support Palace Games a lot. ,that's enough."

　　The atmosphere in the live broadcast room was a little silent, and the players who were watching the live broadcast admitted that they were moved by Fang Zheng.

　　A designer who would rather develop a new game than charge League of Legends, they really don't know how to hack him.

　　"Fang Da's words from you are enough. We can accept the fee for "League of Legends"."

　　"Although you are skinny and cheap, but... I am starting to admire you!"

　　"Fang Da, I also give you a promise, no matter what your new game is, I will buy it, not for anything else, just to support the palace game and the operation of "League of Legends"."

　　"You moved me by riding a horse! Hurry up and give me the new game, I want to buy it!"

　　"From now on, passers-by have been fans forever!"

　　The interview of the official media of Game Daily, because Fang Zheng was about to go bankrupt, the atmosphere was a little heavy, and finally ended hastily.

　　That night, there were large-scale reports on the Internet that Fangzheng was about to go bankrupt.

　　'Dangtang Game Company is under huge financial pressure and is afraid of going bankrupt. '

　　'Just promoted to a B-level game designer, but the company is going to go bankrupt, where is the way forward? '

　　'Fang Zheng himself declared that he was about to go bankrupt, will "League of Legends" charge for it? '

　　'The game is not feasible for free, and the palace proves it with practical actions! '

　　The Internet is full of reports about this matter, and some players who don't know the truth are panicked, and they go to the official Weibo of the Palace Game Company or Fangzheng's private Weibo to confirm the news.

　　But when everyone saw the news that Fangzheng was about to go bankrupt, whether it was Fangzheng's private Weibo or the official blog of the palace, the players were stunned.

　　"If "League of Legends" is not free, Fang Da may be the first person in the game industry."

　　On the official blog of the palace game company, a message was lifted up by the players, and the popularity was very high.

　　"Do you think I'm crazy when you see this title? But don't worry, let me analyze it slowly."

　　"Fang Da took less than half a year to grow from a D-level to a B-level game designer. It is not an exaggeration to say that Fang Da is a genius. Everyone knows the popularity of "League of Legends". If the game charges, everyone thinks that Fang Da is a genius. How much can you earn?"

　　"Based on the sophistication and playability of "League of Legends", the price is not more than [-]. It is conservatively estimated that there will be [-] million players willing to buy the game. Let's calculate how much is this?"

　　"One billion! A full one billion revenue! Which game can reach this level?"

　　"No! Not a single one! So I said that if "League of Legends" is not free, Fang Da will be the first person in the game industry. This is definitely not an exaggeration, but a fact!"

　　"Now that Fangda is about to go bankrupt, it's our turn to contribute. I will launch crowdfunding here again. I hope brothers and sisters who really like "League of Legends" can participate and promote it."

　　"Have the money, the money, and the strength, for the "League of Legends" we love."

　　PS: I beg the big guys for more support, please! ! ! ! .

Chapter 86

　　That night, players launched a crowdfunding campaign under the official blog of the Palace Game Company, calling on the majority of players to donate to the Palace Game Company, which was quickly noticed by the person in charge of the official blog.

　　Regarding this matter, the official blog did not dare to make his own decisions, and informed Fangzheng overnight, which made Fangzheng a little dumbfounded in the middle of the night.

　　What he said in the interview that he was going bankrupt was naturally not true.

　　Although the palace game company is indeed in some financial constraints now, and it is indeed unable to make ends meet, but this does not mean that the company cannot go on.

　　The reason why he said that is to pave the way for the follow-up plan and to hype it up.

　　However, what he didn't expect was that these players actually launched crowdfunding under the official blog, and many players participated.

　　For this result, Fangzheng will not and cannot accept crowdfunding donations from players.

　　If accepted, how is it different from cheating?

　　He can say that he is going bankrupt, because this is a kind of hype in disguise.

　　But he can't really accept player donations because it's a scam -.

　　In Fangzheng's view, hype is a means of publicity and operation, while fraud is a person's lack of morality. He can hype for his own plans, but he will not deceive players' feelings because of this.

　　The next day, Fang Zheng came to the company early in the morning.

　　"Shi Yu, how is the situation on the official blog?"

　　"Director Fang, you can count it. The official blog has already counted it. As of [-]:[-] in the morning, the amount of crowdfunding by players has reached more than [-] million, and it is still increasing."

　　Although last night, Fangzheng had made the official blog release a statement overnight, hoping that players would stop crowdfunding.

　　But obviously, players have not stopped their donations.

　　Han Shiyu was a little anxious. Although this amount of money is not huge, it is of great significance. If it is not handled properly, the reputation of the Palace Game Company will explode and everyone will shout.

　　So this money has to be handled properly and it has to be open and transparent.

　　Fang Zheng took two steps in the office, and then said to Han Shiyu.

　　"Shiyu, you immediately ask the technical department to forcibly close the crowdfunding channel. In addition, give me the statistics of the players who participated in the crowdfunding."

　　"Then let the official blog post a message to comfort the players, ask everyone to stop the crowdfunding activities, and then tell them that all the funds that have been crowdfunded will be handed over to the Game Supervision Commission, and the Supervision Commission will do charity work."

　　When Han Shiyu heard this, her eyes lit up.

　　Fangzheng's idea is brilliant.

　　Although this kind of crowdfunding donation is a piece of love from players, it is a hot potato for the palace game company.

　　Not to mention that Fangzheng's previous words are just pure speculation, just say that this money, if not properly handled, the Palace Game Company is bound to be questioned and criticized by people from all walks of life.

　　Regardless of the final result, the reputation of the hall is bound to decline.

　　But handing this fund to the game supervision committee is different. First of all, the supervision committee is an official department, which is more convincing than the palace game company.

　　Secondly, the transfer of crowdfunding funds also means the transfer of risks. No matter whether this batch of funds will go wrong in the end, no one can blame the palace game company.

　　Even if something goes wrong, it is the official department of the Game Supervision Council, which has nothing to do with the Palace Game Company.

　　Secondly, what an official department like the Game Regulatory Commission lacks is not money and rights, but word of mouth and performance.

　　There is no doubt that for them, doing charity is a shortcut.

　　But where do the funds for charity come from, it is impossible to let the above allocate funds for charity, it is not realistic at all.

　　At this moment, Fangzheng suddenly handed over such a sum to the supervisory committee. What would the other party think?

　　If nothing else, this crowdfunding will be handed over to the game supervision committee, and their palace game company will definitely receive special attention from the official, which is not harmful to the company.

　　As for whether game regulation will take over this troublesome errand...

　　Unless the other party is brain pumped, otherwise they will definitely accept it, because this is all performance~

　　"Fang Dong is amazing!"

　　Han Shiyu wanted to understand the key, and couldn't help but gave Fang Zheng a thumbs up, her eyes full of admiration.

　　It was a very troublesome matter, but Fang Zheng solved it in a few words.

　　Not only did he clean himself up, but he also received special care from the government and received praise from all walks of life.

　　"Stop flattering, and hurry up and get down to business."

· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·?????????

　　With Fangzheng's actions, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

　　On the official blog, the crowdfunding channel should not be forced to close soon. Just when the players didn’t know what was going on, the official blog announcement came out.

　　'Thank you for your support and help, and we accept it, but this funding is really unacceptable. '

　　At the same time, Fang Zheng's Weibo also reprinted this dynamic so that more players can see it.

　　"First of all, I would like to thank everyone for their strong support to the Palace Games Company. On behalf of all the employees of the Palace Games, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone."

　　"I accept everyone's wishes. I'm very happy that everyone likes Palace games and League of Legends so much."

　　"But I can't accept everyone's crowdfunding donations. I will hand over the funds to the game supervision committee to do charity in the name of players. I hope everyone can understand and bear with me."

...... 0

　　Founder's Weibo made it very clear that players were forced to close the crowdfunding channel, so they had no choice but to accept this fact.

　　At the same time, the majority of players also breathed a sigh of relief.

　　Since Fangzheng is unwilling to accept their donations, it means that Fangzheng himself has a way to solve the problem. Although he doesn't know what Fangzheng will do, as long as the Palace Game does not go bankrupt, as long as "League of Legends" can continue to operate, they will be satisfied.

　　On the official blog of the Palace Game Company, the crowdfunding and donations of players were quickly reported by the media.

　　Everyone is sighing that this is the relationship that game companies should have with players.

　　A game company should not only know how to make profits, but also know the demands of players, and accordingly, players will like and support the game company.

　　For a while, because of this incident, the reputation of the palace game company soared, and even the official media of the game supervision association finally issued a document praising the palace game company.

　　Whether it's whether the game is treating players sincerely, or whether the players spontaneously support the game, the trust and sincerity behind this can't help but be moved.
