This is not a BUG, this is a game feature - #271 - Chapter 271 The greatest game of this century!

“Love Staff” optimized the real-name authentication information database. At first, many people were very excited and rushed to upload information such as real estate certificates and vehicle driving licenses as soon as possible.

What they think is that they are so powerful in reality, but they could not show it in the game before, and now they finally have a chance to show it!

But soon, they discovered something was wrong…

How come after uploading this information, among the love consultants matched by the system, nearly half are soft-boiled men and money-worshiping women?

On the contrary, those who do not have a car, a house, or much savings are mainly looking for a sincere poor guy. Although they have not uploaded the so-called “financial resources” proof, the matching objects are still reliable as always.

Gan!

In such a stark contrast, the rich brothers and sisters finally reacted and chose to “hide the information” and did not allow anyone to view it.

Originally, I wanted to show off my strength, but now it seems that the more financially capable the player is, the higher the probability of being matched with a money-worshiping girl/loafing boy, which has turned out to be a bad thing.

Rich brother and rich sister are just innocent, not fools. If you really want to find a pretty boy or pretty girl, why bother playing the game “Love Counselor”?

Playing this game is just for “true love”!

If you upload too much information and it appears that you are very rich, then if you want to find your true love, why not go to a bar, KTV and find two younger girls or younger brothers offline.

Chen Ba also didn’t expect that the rich brothers and sisters who were supposed to use this mechanism to show off their strength in the game would instead be the main force resisting this mechanism.

Aren’t they the beneficiaries?

Since you are the beneficiary, why should you oppose this mechanism?

“Beneficiary? Victim!”

Yang Dong said speechlessly: “Have you forgotten that our “Love Advisory” has an extremely magical matching system?”

“Under this mechanism, most of the love consultants they match are metal-worshipping. Once or twice is fine. Who can stand this kind of thing all the time?”

Poor guy wins!

In reality, he has nothing, he is repeatedly rejected on blind dates, and he is even disliked by girls. He is a complete loser.

In the game “Love Staff”, thanks to the excellent matching mechanism, they will meet girls who have “glow in their eyes” and believe that love is better than all material things.

Blanch! Brother Fu almost wants to curse…

This is a broken mechanism, whoever likes to upload it can upload it! Anyway, they made up their mind not to upload any proof of “financial resources” no matter what.

Not only did he not upload any information, he also pretended to be poor! The poorer you pretend to be, the better!

“I understand!”

Chen Ba just didn’t understand it at first, but he quickly realized it.

After introducing a new mechanism, the matching system of “Love Staff” will give priority to the “compatibility” of two players.

How to determine the fit?

If you are a poor young man and the matching system recommends a money-worshiping relationship consultant to you, can you really get along?

In other words, for players with poor material conditions, the matching system automatically filters out players of the opposite sex who “worship money” or have a certain pursuit of material life.

Based on this filtering mechanism, the love consultant recommended by the matching system to poor friends will meet two conditions:

First, they have similar interests and compatible personalities!

This is the real power of the matching mechanism in “Love Staff” and the main reason why two people can be matched together.

The second is to screen again based on “Condition 1” and recommend those players of the opposite sex who don’t pay much attention to material conditions and have a bright eye!

If there is no member of the opposite sex, they will recommend a gay love consultant. In short, if you don’t drink much from Snow King, you will not be matched with a Starbucks love consultant…

Why does the rich man pretend to be poor?

Because they have figured out the operating logic of this matching mechanism, they know that the more information is exposed and the stronger the financial resources are displayed, the less reliable the relationship consultants matched by the system will be.

Of course, there are no absolutes!

Generally speaking, the system matching mechanism is still based on whether two people can “get along”. In other words, under this mechanism, there is always a probability of meeting a reliable person.

But how to tell the difference?

Reliable love counselors and unreliable love counselors all have the same interests and hobbies.

The difference is that the former is a love from the heart, while the latter is just a hobby disguised to attract wealthy women.

The rich brother and the rich sister are too lazy to distinguish who is reliable and who is not. In order to pursue true love, they simply pretend to be poor. Anyway, this is easier and the probability of the matching system trapping them is the lowest.

“So, if we upgrade this set of real-name information, it will actually do more harm than good?” Chen Ba said thoughtfully.

“You can’t say that…”

Yang Dong shook his head and explained: “These players who play “Love Staff” basically come with the idea of ​​​​finding a partner.”

Since you are looking for someone to fall in love with, whether it is online dating or not, it is always right to be honest with each other!

In the past, when the real-name information was not rich enough, many people chatted in the game for a long time and felt that they got along quite well, but in the end they failed to take the step of entering reality, wasting time and feelings in vain.

After real-name information becomes abundant, it may seem that it does more harm than good, but in fact it saves time for many players and reduces the cost of “trial and error”.

“I’m not going to talk about it, let’s just talk about the success rate! It used to be about 27%, which means that out of a hundred pairs of love consultants, almost 27 pairs can get together.”

Yang Dong said with a smile: “After upgrading the real-name database, the matching success rate should reach more than 40%! It is not impossible to even reach half the success rate…”

Is it that high?

Chen Ba was a little skeptical about this. After all, the matching success rate was close to half. This data just sounded unreliable.

In reality, with this success rate, you can’t even call her a matchmaker. You can just call her “Yue Lao”.

But what Brother Dong said is not unreasonable!

After upgrading the real-name information, the trial and error cost of players is reduced, and the matching efficiency is also improved in disguise.

After all, when we used to fall in love in games, in the end we had to go into reality and understand what the other person’s reality was like…

Most cases where negotiation cannot be reached basically fail at this step.

After all, the online world is virtual. No matter how it fits into reality, it still has to face a series of material problems.

Save a lot of energy now!

The conversation was good. After asking for each other’s consent, we took a look at each other’s certification information. After we had a certain understanding of each other’s material foundation, we could decide whether to have further contact.

“Speaking of which…”

Chen Ba seemed to have thought of something, and asked thoughtfully: “So far, in “Love Staff”, have there been 10,000 players who met and fell in love through the game and finally got married?”

“Yes!”

Yang Dong affirmed: “There are more than 10,000 people, to be precise, there are 10,000 new couples!”

“Then…are there any divorced people?”

Chen Ba hesitated and said: “Among the thousands of couples who met and fell in love through “Love Staff”, it’s not necessarily possible that every family is harmonious, right?”

“have……”

Although Yang Dong very much hopes not, this is impossible. No matter what, people will get divorced. After all, every family has hard-to-recite scriptures.

But then again.

Compared with today’s high divorce rate, there are still very few divorces among the couples who met and fell in love through “Love Counselor”. So far, only seven couples have divorced.

“good!”

Chen Ba nodded.

Out of more than 10,000 couples, seven have divorced. This ratio is extremely low, even shockingly low.

However, he also understands that this is because the game “Love Staff” has only been around for a few years, and these young couples have not been married for a few years, so the data must be very good.

That won’t necessarily be the case in a few years!

Taking the “seven-year itch” as an example, Chen Ba believes that in five or six years, this proportion may rise to more than 20%.

“That’s pretty awesome!”

Yang Dong disagreed: “The divorce rate now exceeds 60%. If we can achieve less than 20%, I will directly declare “Love Advisory” to be the greatest game of this century!”

“I declare your proclamation valid!”

Chen Ba suppressed a smile and said: “The greatest game of this century is a bit ridiculous. We are not even halfway through the 21st century. Who knows what kind of games will appear in the future?”

However, if “Love Staff” can really achieve this, then the title of “The Greatest Game in the Past 20 Years” is well deserved!

After all, he has single-handedly changed young people’s views on marriage and love. While increasing the marriage and fertility rates, he has also greatly reduced the divorce rate. If this kind of game is not great, then what is a great game?

You don’t want to say “Star Emperor 2”, right?

Pull it down!

As the main producer of this game, Chen Ba knows better than anyone else that “Star Emperor 2” is destined to be just an “entertainment” game and is unlikely to be as great as “Love Staff”.

“I don’t know whether it’s great or not…”

“But I know that “Star Emperor 2″ is definitely the most profitable game of our studio this year, bar none!”

Yang Dong said faintly: “I’ve been greedy for hundreds of millions of dollars in one breath. Typically, I don’t open for three years, and I only eat three years after opening.”

Just thinking about it makes him admire Brother Ba!

How did he fool those GAL league teams into investing money in him, acknowledging that he had embezzled production funds, which amounted to hundreds of millions of dollars in one investment?

Could it be that these companies have some leverage in Brother Ba’s hands and have to confess to him?

“Greedy is greedy!”

“They voluntarily sent money to my door for my greed. I didn’t force them.”

When Chen Ba said this, he couldn’t hide his smile and said: “To be honest, I am the poor person who was forced! If they didn’t force me to make “Star Emperor 2″, you would think that I would really like this money.” Money?”

Yang Dong: “…”

Doesn’t your conscience hurt when you say this?

What does it mean to be forced to embezzle hundreds of millions? The corners of your grinning mouth are exposed, and you are obviously extremely happy, but you still have to pretend to be like “I don’t love money” and “Get away from you damn money.”

Hypocrisy, really hypocrisy!

That’s hundreds of millions of dollars. Tianba Studio has never fought such a rich battle. This also resulted in the money sitting in the account, but Chen Ba and Yang Dong didn’t know how to spend it.

“Advertise more!”

Yang Dong suggested: “”Star Emperor 2″ will be released soon. We can pre-promote it in advance to make it more lively and louder.”

“It won’t cost much…”

Chen Ba agreed to advertise, but he also said that hundreds of millions of dollars could never be spent on advertising, so he had to find other ways.

Why spend it all?

Because this is a “special” account, under normal circumstances, Chen Ba cannot transfer the money in this account to his own bank card. This is illegal.

However, although the money in this account cannot be transferred, you can spend it as you like!

In short, there cannot be any remaining funds!

If the project ends and the money has not been spent, unfortunately, the remaining funds will have to be returned to the investors.

This is just like the “scientific research funds” applied for by many scientific research projects. In the last period of time, you have to find a way to “spend money unexpectedly” and not let the funds remain too much.

Having too much budget surplus will not only embarrass you, but also those above you. After all, this money is allocated for you to spend, and there is still a lot of money left if you can’t spend it all. So why did you apply for so many funds in the first place?

The same is true for the hundreds of millions of dollars in funding for “Star Emperor 2”.

After spending it, no one will say anything in the end, including the companies that paid the money, and they won’t think there is a problem. Anyway, the money is for Brother Ba.

But if you can’t spend all the money and still have a large amount left, that would be a bit difficult!

It’s impossible to go back. If you eat the fat in Chen Ba’s mouth, is there any reason to spit it out? And if the money is returned, it’s another matter whether they want it or not!

Developing games, acquiring Mirage Electronics, early stage publicity and promotion…

A set of operations cost less than 50 million US dollars, and there was still a lot of remaining funds. Chen Ba had to find a way to squander it as soon as possible.

“It’s better than this!”

Yang Dong came up with a good way to spend the money to the maximum extent and gain maximum benefits for Tianba Studio. At the same time, it would be difficult for others to find fault and gossip.

Hardware subsidies!

Released together with the game “Star Emperor 2”, there is also a set of special somatosensory gaming equipment, which are the peripherals produced by Mirage Electronics.

The cost of this set of peripherals is slightly high. It is estimated that when it is released, few people will be willing to try it. This will undoubtedly be a huge test for “Star Emperor 2” and Mirage Electronics.

That being the case.

Why not use this money to subsidize the cost of the hardware, sell this set of equipment at a price lower than the cost, win over as many players as possible, and quickly occupy the market?

This is just like a few years ago, when “XX” taxi-hailing software became rampant and started a war on subsidies and money-burning, all of which were to burn money to occupy the market and consolidate the user base.

Mirage Electronics’ set of dedicated peripherals for “Star Emperor 2” can also be sold at a subsidized low price. It will be spread out in the early stage so that more players can use this set of equipment.

What’s the point of doing this?

Of course there is!

After a large number of players use this device and experience the ultimate gaming experience of “Star Emperor 2”, they will naturally benefit others.

Moreover, these devices are not invincible. Once they are broken, accessories and maintenance, including other software services, can also be a way to recover the cost.

I can’t bear to let the child catch the wolf!

If you want this set of peripherals to quickly occupy the market and attract players’ attention and purchases, early subsidy promotion is a very efficient method.
