Chapter 48: The Planner of This Game Feels Like a Human!

~4 min read 633 words

"Ten consecutive pulls' Primogems? Isn't that too much? That would definitely cause a huge drop in revenue!"

After hearing Qin Qin Xiaoyu's words, Chen Wei immediately regretted his suggestion just now.

Actually, it wasn't that he was stingy.

The main reason was that the Klee banner had only just opened, with huge potential remaining for the next few days.

If a ten-pull welfare reward was distributed directly now, it would definitely bring a significant impact to the revenue of the subsequent banners.

You have to remember, this was a server-wide reward, the kind where everyone gets a share.

If it really was distributed, tomorrow they would likely be dragged down from the pedestal; maintaining the top spot was obviously unlikely.

"Which is more important, revenue or users?"

Qin Qin Xiaoyu did not answer Ah Wei's question directly; instead, he glanced at him and asked a counter-question.

"Does that even need asking?"

For this question, Chen Wei almost didn't think before answering directly, "Of course it's the users!"

"Good answer. It seems you're not fit to be a planner!"

Qin Qin Xiaoyu grinned, saying something that left Chen Wei stunned on the spot.

Revenue and game users, no matter which one, are extremely important to a game company.

But generally speaking, these two are contradictory entities.

To make the revenue look good, you have to devise various methods to take money from the players' pockets.

And to achieve this goal, the crudest method is to launch various pay-to-win event methods while reducing the intensity of welfare.

But this method often hurts the feelings of game users, gets them called out for having an ugly money-grabbing face, and ultimately leads to a batch of micro-spending or zero-spending players quitting the game.

Although Qin Qin Xiaoyu was not naive enough to think he could change such a contradictory relationship.

But as a game designer, his thoughts and the thoughts of a planner definitely had a big difference.

It's not that he was particularly noble or disliked money.

Rather, compared to money, the sense of achievement from letting more people like and play his game was far beyond what money could bring.

In his previous life on Earth, although the game Genshin Impact could be considered a hit, and its revenue results were also very good.

But...

Because of that group of useless people in the planning department, the game's reputation declined, once making players who liked Genshin Impact even afraid to say they were playing this game in public.

Afraid of being called OP or other nasty names.

Such a phenomenon, for a game designer, in a certain sense, could already be considered a failure.

No matter how good the revenue looked, it had no meaning.

Many times during internal meetings, Qin Qin Xiaoyu even had an impulse to smash that group of planners to death on the spot and sacrifice them to the heavens.

Back then.

On Earth, after the Klee banner topped the revenue charts in seven nations and broke the global paywall, it was precisely because of the problem of reduced welfare distribution that caused a portion of players to quit the game.

Unfortunately, at that time he had no way to change this situation.

Even his master, one of the original creators of the game, was equally powerless.

But now, in this Parallel World, he already had the ability to change all of this, so Qin Qin Xiaoyu planned to make up for some regrets left from his previous life.

The same mistakes, he naturally could not watch them happen again with his own eyes.

Otherwise, what was the point of rebirth?

"Didn't you just say it yourself? At this stage, players are the most important to us, so since this is a matter of sharing joy, we cannot be too stingy."
