Almighty Game Designer - Chapter 73
After 《I am MT》 established itself in the top 5 in the best seller list in the official App Store, everyone has to admit that this “free game” is really profitable.
It had even earned more than the most high priced games!
They were surprised and at the same time they couldn’t understand.
Many game designers couldn’t figure it out. This is obviously just a small game with no more than 100MB, its quality is not high, and the reviews of the players are not so good. Even if there is the hyping of the anime, it still couldn’t crush the game platform of Emperor Interactive Entertainment with only one anime!
However, 《I am MT》 had crushed 《Guardian of the Holy Spring》 and had almost doubled its monthly turnover.
The game designers who had originally looked down on this game began downloading it and started researching its success.
And those game media had also started working overtime again because of the game of Chen Mo again.
On the last day of the month, the bet will end.
The final sales of 《Guardian of the Holy Spring》 is 890,000 copies, with a monthly turnover of 8.9 million. Chen Mo had also announced the monthly turnover of 《I am MT》, 23 million!
It had crushed 《Guardian of the Holy Spring》 by more than twice or even thrice!
Soon, the drafts from major game media came out.
《Betting Results: Chen Mo won against Emperor Interactive Entertainment!》
《The mobile game of I am MT, with a monthly turnover of 23 million had ranked fifth in the best seller list!》
《Uncovering the way of I am MT earning money, the secret of “Free to play game”》
《The local tyrants throw their money in this game》
《2,000 RMB for a card? You read it right, this is a free game》
《Emperor Interactive Entertainment’s game platform had lost! Where did the guardian of the holy spring lose?》
《Qiu Bin hasn’t yet spoken. Will he fulfill the recommendation?》
《Chen Mo’s weibo is under a lot of swearing, but he has not yet responded to the questions of the players》
《An “unfair” game?》
《Popular Science: How much money will I am MT bring to its producer?》
《Expert Review: A game that happily profits is not a good game!》
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
There are drafts from all angles, which is basically the same as the players review, with mixed reputations. Some were shocked by the number of downloads and the monthly turnover of 《I am MT》, while the others questioned the profit model of the game.
This month’s monthly turnover is nothing if it was placed in Chen Mo’s previous world. At that time, 《I am MT》 had a monthly turnover of 55 milion, let alone 《Soul Hunters》 with a 200 million and 《Honor of Kings》 with 3 billion.
But it is different in the parallel world. The mainstream profit model of mobile games is still through sales, if they want to raise the monthly turnover to 20 million, then they would need to sell 2 million copies a month, and even if they price it to 20 RMB, they will still need to sell 1 million copies.
It is not easy to sell so much within a month!
Therefore, after 《I am MT》 has established itself in the top 5 of the best seller list, many of the game medias are shocked by its revenue. In the first month of its launch, it entered the top 5 of the best seller list with a low rating of about 7 points, which will go down in history!
This is the only game that profits while being sweared at!
With the increasing popularity of 《I am MT》, the name of Chen Mo is getting known by a lot more people.
Previously, 《Plants vs Zombies》 was also very popular, with its high quality and good evaluation, but it was a typical example due to it being a game that profits through sales. Its creativity is great, but for the people in this world, it’s far less amazing than 《I am MT》.
Free to play.
Unfairly selling combat power.
Profiting while getting sweared.
These 3 characteristics of 《I am MT》 had all advertised its alternative identity, and allowing game designers and players to study it repeatedly.
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
As some had expected, the two men who were at the eye of the storm did not come out.
After the monthly turnover of 《I am MT》 came out, Qiu Bin had then sent a weibo post for the first time, the content is very simple, with only four words, “Willingly wagered, willingly lose.”
Chen Mo also posted in Weibo.
“Thank you players for your love all this time. You don’t need to send any more blades, it’s understandable that you want me to shave more and keep my handsome image, but the experience shop is almost full.”
The players are angry as they had never seen such a bold and shameless person! Is that for you to shave?
“I have never seen such a brazen game designer!”
“Where is his experience shop! I’ll go bring a knife to his entrance!”
“Give a like so that every time you draw it will be all purple cards.”
“Hurry up! When will the third season of the anime comes out!!”
“Still have time to post? Yet you still did not update the Azeroth Universe!”
“This garbage game destroyed my youth, cost me my money, give me a refund!”
“Those who play I am MT, add me as friends, the account is XXXXXX…”
There are all kinds of post, but most of them are “sincere and friendly” and “blessings”.
To everyone’s surprise. Chen Mo and Qiu Bin didn’t tear each other at all. Chen Mo has no reason not to forgive, neither does Qiu Bin not to admit his defeat, the two sides seemed to have passed it lightly.
This made many melon eaters, who had taken out their foldable chair and bought melon seeds and drinks, very dissatisfied.
They thought they could watch something fun, but just as I had taken off my pants, now you tell me it’s already over*? (T/N: expressing dissatisfaction.)
However, their dissatisfaction is the result of their resenment, the main characters on both sides was done, so the fans could no longer make any more trouble. Therefore, this matter has temporarily ended on Weibo.
What the melon eaters doesn’t know is that an undercurrent is slowly sweeping the entire gaming circle.
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
Emperor Interactive Entertainment Headquarters.
Qiu Bin placed his resignation letter on Lin Zhaoxu’s desk.
Lin Zhaoxu looked at Qiu Bin, then held the resignation letter and gave it back.
Qiu Bin was shocked, “President Lin, this…”
Lin Zhaoxu said, “It’s just a recommendation position for him.”
Qiu Bin was a bit ashamed, “I’m sorry, President Lin, I…”
Lin Zhaoxu waved his hand to signal that he doesn’t need to say anymore.
“This is not all a bad thing. At the very least, you help Emperor Interactive Entertainment find a potential threat.”
Lin Zhaoxu stood up, walked to the window beside his desk, and looked at the scenery outside and said, “If it’s not for this matter, it might have taken us half a year to even a year to find out Chen Mo’s huge capability. Now it’s worth to trade this recommendation for a year’s worth of time.”
Qiu Bin’s heart warmed, he had thought that Lin Zhaoxu would be furious and had even prepared to resign. Turns out, Lin Zhaoxu was not angry at all.
As expected, those who can create such a huge beast such as Emperor Interactive Entertainment have an extraordinary tolerance and vision.
Lin Zhaoxu said, “You don’t have to worry about the recommendation, I will send someone to contact Chen Mo.”
Qiu Bin bowed and said, “Yes.”
Lin Zhaoxu came closer to Qiu Bin and said, “But there is another thing you need to do.”
Qiu Bin asked, “What is it?”
Lin Zhaoxu seriously said, “Make another money charging game by copying 《I am MT》.”
Qiu Bin frozed, “Do it again?”
Lin Zhaoxu nodded, “Well, if you are worried about the pressure on public opinion, then you can release it not with your name and just find a C-class game designer to put his name on it. But this new game must be personally checked by you. I hope its gameplay can perfectly reproduce the standard of 《I am MT》.”
Qiu Bin hesitated for a bit and nodded, “Yes, I understand.”
Qiu Bin put away his resignation letter and left the office of Lin Zhaoxu.
