Fei Zhiyuan's premonition was quickly confirmed.
While the mobile gamers were still posting worried comments, Lu Cong on the live broadcast screen walked away from Jiang Chengji and sat down at another table.
The person in front of him became Peng Linmu, the director of the Dream Building Program.
"Therefore, our boss, Mr. Xu Meng, has made a bold decision—to launch the cloud gaming version of 'Frost and Snow Project'."
"Oh? Cloud gaming? That sounds like a very powerful feature."
Lu Cong played the role of a novice player, setting up Peng Linmu for his lines.
Peng Linmu didn't have much talent for performance, so he could only repeat the script like a teleprompter:
"Yes, despite facing many problems and challenges, cloud gaming has always been regarded as the future trend of gaming."
"It allows players to break free from hardware limitations and play games more easily and conveniently."
"Really?" Lu Cong asked the novice question again, "Then if Dream Building launches this feature, will mobile gamers no longer have to worry about game lag?"
"That's right." Peng Linmu nodded, "After cloud gaming is launched, as long as players' mobile phones can maintain a stable network connection, they can smoothly play any content of 'Frost and Snow Project', and they no longer have to be limited by the performance of their mobile phones, enduring low image quality and lag."
"… …"
The two sang in harmony, making the [Cloud Gaming] pie bigger and rounder.
As a result, the worried voices in the live broadcast room quickly turned into cheers and praise:
"Finally! It's here!! I can't stand the lowest image quality anymore!"
"Yay, I can use high image quality to play Dragon Palace Treasure Hunt while squatting in the company toilet in the future!"
"Requires a very good network signal? That's bad, I can't play it in class."
"Isn't it, bro, are there many people fighting with you for the network in class? What class are you in??"
"I heard that cloud gaming is very expensive, Dream Building is too generous!"
"Generous my ass! The wool comes from the sheep, wait for the price to come out before bragging."
"If you think it's expensive, don't use it, no one is forcing you to use it… …"
… …
Obviously, the wariness of second-dimension game players towards game companies is difficult to change.
And this is all because game companies have been screwing them over year after year, and it is difficult for Dream Building to reverse this impression in a short period of time.
But Lu Cong believed, and many employees of Dream Building also believed—
Xu Meng will reverse this phenomenon.
Because Xu Meng's series of practices are completely different from traditional second-dimension game companies.
Just like this bold decision to launch cloud gaming.
—"Cloud gaming" has always been a toy for giants.
Currently, looking at the entire second-dimension game circle, and even the entire mobile game circle, only Fourth Dimension Games has launched cloud gaming functions.
So many Dream Building employees have received messages from former colleagues, classmates, and friends—
"Are you going to start a war with Fourth Dimension Games?"
The tone was full of surprise and incomprehension.
Because Dream Building…
Is too young! In any case, it can't be considered a "giant."
If it weren't for feuding with Fourth Dimension, wanting to get in their face and go big, they really couldn't understand why Dream Building wanted to do cloud gaming.
Fei Zhiyuan listened to the conversation between Lu Cong and Peng Linmu, and after estimating the cost of doing cloud gaming in his heart, he felt it was both ridiculous and absurd.
He would never spend this money.
His peers wouldn't spend it either.
The high server and bandwidth costs are already a heavy burden.
Cloud gaming often also means: game development will continue to develop in a more complex and costly direction.
Only more exquisite modeling, more gorgeous special effects, larger battle scenes, and more complex level designs require hardware levels to continue to improve, so that cloud gaming can play a major role.
Only two types of companies need cloud gaming—
Companies that are rich and powerful and want to further expand their user base.
And companies that are ambitious and plan to continuously challenge the upper limit of type games.
But no matter which one, it requires long-term investment to see results—and it is full of uncertainty.
For most mobile game manufacturers, whether the technology is improving or not is not important, whether the product has improved or not is not important, as long as the flow is high enough and users' willingness to spend money does not decline.
Using huge costs to gamble on an uncertain thing, and the input-output ratio is so low…
It's really not a wise decision.
It's far better to spend this money on promotion and buying traffic.
The effect is immediate, and it is also convenient for making reports, which is also better for employees' performance.
This is the difference between "long-termism" and "living in the present."
Fei Zhiyuan understood this, so he didn't understand it even more:
Why is Dream Building so confident?
You did get rich for a while, but it's only been less than two months, no matter how much money you have, how much can you have?
Where does the confidence come from to do so many things that don't show results in the short term?
Team expansion, new game projects, simulator development, cloud gaming development…
All are projects that require continuous investment of huge costs.
This is too radical!
Once any link collapses—for example, if "Frost and Snow Project" is reported and removed from the shelves for rectification, it is likely to trigger an avalanche-style collapse!
This is not a curse, but reality.
Reports on "Frost and Snow Project" have always existed, and have almost never stopped.
Several peers have even joined this ranks, brewing to give Dream Building a big one—someone even invited Moyu to join a few days ago.
Fei Zhiyuan was very tempted, but he refused.
This matter is too taboo.
Once it is exposed, the company's reputation in the industry will be completely ruined.
Moyu Games has a large family and a large business, and it is not worth taking such a big risk.
It is more appropriate to let those companies that are about to go bankrupt do this kind of thing.
He retracted his gaze and looked at his live broadcast room, the popularity was still maintained at the 9 million mark.
He was very clear: at least 2 million of this was bought with money.
The only good news is:
The money was indeed burned, but it was not completely wasted.
Some of the exposure pushed by pilipili will indeed be transformed into users, but the conversion rate will be very low.
After all, the preview event is mainly aimed at old users, and the effect of attracting new users is far from comparable to carefully prepared promotional materials.
He took out his mobile phone and sent messages to the operations of "Divine Bird" and Gong Feng respectively.
As a result, the 9 million popularity of the "Divine Bird" live broadcast room began to decline rapidly.
He gave up resisting.
Because at this time, the popularity of the "Frost and Snow Project" live broadcast room has soared to the 16 million mark with the help of the big news of cloud gaming!
In the face of a nearly 7 million popularity difference, Fei Zhiyuan was really unable to struggle.
Especially after the substantive content is over, the host will start talking about game optimization, character fashion, brand linkage and other content.
Give the players a lottery, send out benefits, and the preview can be declared over.
There is no need to continue struggling.
In the Dream Building live broadcast room, Lu Cong and Peng Linmu finished talking about cloud gaming, and the screen switched to Zhang Baiquan, the director of the marketing department.
He announced the detailed schedule for the production and delivery of the figures, and after showing the finished figures 360 degrees, he took the opportunity to enter the lottery session.
Generally speaking, this is the signal to end.
Fei Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
The popularity of "Frost and Snow Project" will finally not continue to rise, he thought.
But the next second, the lottery items that appeared on the live broadcast screen made him directly stunned—
That was a table lamp in the shape of a girl's lower body!
The girl's legs wearing knee-high suspender white socks were kneeling on the table, with her knees together acting as the lamp post, but her calves were spread out to form a triangular structure to ensure the stability of the table lamp.
Beyond the fleshy absolute realm between the socks and the skirt, is the girl's white skirt.
However, as soon as the white skirt appeared, the screen went black.
After that…
In a piece of darkness, the light source in the white skirt lit up.
The soft light penetrated the thin skirt, casting a circle of warm yellow halo around it, illuminating the surroundings.
The text slowly appeared—
[Collector's Edition Table Lamp: The Saintess's Skirt]
[Limited to 5 lamps]
[Send the comment [I will always love Frost and Snow Project!] to participate in the lottery]
"? ? ?"
"? ? ?"
"? ? ?"
… …
The live broadcast room was instantly flooded with a massive number of question mark comments.
Obviously, it was not only Fei Zhiyuan who was stunned, but also millions of viewers in the live broadcast room.
Everyone has never seen such an outrageous table lamp!
—Originally, the lottery session required someone to introduce the prizes and lottery rules.
But this table lamp was so outrageous that everyone was not very willing to appear on camera to introduce it.
Xu Meng himself was quite willing, but Song Zhicheng and the little assistant stopped him.
So this link became a pure video display and text prompts.
But this did not affect the audience's desire for these five table lamps in the slightest!
After the overwhelming question marks, there were erupting lottery comments and fierce complaints:
"Is this… the luxuriant spring light, Bai Wei's lower body?"
"I have said the word outrageous too many times!!"
"God damn it, the Saintess's Skirt!"
"That's right, it's the holy light!! I saw the holy light!!"
"Draw your mother! Put on the link directly!!"
