Chapter 49: The Gaming Industry's Turbulent Undercurrents!

Originally just an ordinary holiday evening, but because the Klee gacha revenue topped the charts, this night became a sleepless one for the entire gaming industry.

One o'clock in the deep night.

The sea breeze, mixed with drizzle, forced the river water flowing into the sea back up into the inner river, and then the waves crashed against the embankments on both banks, sending out a series of deafening roars.

In a spacious office on the top floor of an office building by the river, decorated in a simple yet luxurious style.

At this moment.

A middle-aged man in his fifties with half-white hair stood before a transparent glass window, looking down at the surging waves below with lowered eyes.

Half a moment later, he slowly turned around, his gaze sweeping over the Technical Director and the Operations Director sitting on the sofa, and spoke in a calm tone:

"You must have heard the news, right? Let the two of you share your thoughts..."

Although this statement did not mention Genshin Impact with a single word, as the Technical Director and Operations Director of the gaming industry's leading giant, they naturally understood that the matter the boss was referring to was Genshin Impact topping the daily revenue charts.

The two exchanged a glance, both somewhat unwilling to speak first.

No one knew Chen Hai's temper better than they did.

Do not be fooled by his apparent calmness now; if a single word is spoken out of turn later, he could be scolded black and blue at any moment.

However, since he has already spoken and asked, escaping is obviously impossible.

"Director Chen, recently our several flagship mobile games have had no events, and players' desire to spend money is low."

After a moment of silence, the Operations Director spoke cautiously: "However, after the new version launches the day after tomorrow, the new dungeon difficulty will be extremely high; without spending money, it is simply impossible to play. If we hold a few more large-scale recharge rebate events, the throne of number one in revenue will still belong to our Shengda."

Upon hearing these words, Chen Hai's eyebrows instantly furrowed. "Do you still think there aren't enough players quitting recently?

If you hold more large-scale recharge rebate events, go check how much balance is left in the accounts of those dozens of heavy-spending players!

Can the planners under your command do their jobs with a bit of brain?"

The Operations Director immediately shut his mouth; if he spoke again, being scolded was inevitable.

Actually, he felt quite aggrieved in his heart.

The shareholders only look at the financial statements; the KPI assessment indicators are right there, so what can he do?

Moreover.

The current general market trend for the entire gaming industry is like this: launching new events to force players to recharge; everyone does it this way.

Besides, doing so has always been very effective.

What exactly is going on now?

"Old Li, share your thoughts!" Seeing that the Operations Director, Gu Tong, had not spoken for a long time, Chen Hai shook his head and turned his gaze toward the Technical Director, Old Li Zhong.

At this moment, Chen Hai, as the helmsman of Shengda Network and the leader of the Xia Kingdom's gaming industry, felt deeply disappointed.

Whether it was technology, traffic, talent, or capital.

The entire Shengda Network was absolutely the most top-tier within the Xia Kingdom, and the only one that could barely match their strength was probably Mengyi Games alone.

But from some unknown time, the reputation of the games under their banner had been continuously declining.

New games that had invested huge amounts of capital in development also struggled to make any significant splash.

Although currently relying on a few licensed games, they could barely maintain the position of the leading giant, but if they continued to stand still like this, sooner or later someone would pull them down from the pedestal.

Obviously.

The sudden emergence of Genshin Impact and topping the daily revenue charts was a clear sign.

Of course.
