Agreeing to Create Bad Games, What the Hell Is ‘Titanfall’? Chapter 149: You Care About the Players, The Players Lift Yo

Hey—?!

Wait a minute!

Shen Miaomiao’s smile froze on her face.

She turned her head toward the projection screen!

At this mont, the bullet comnts in Piao Teacher’s livestream had already exploded!

“Good work deserves praise!”

“This ga is actually free, and I feel guilty playing it.”

“Exactly, not spending so money here would feel wrong. I have to buy sothing.”

“If you care about the players, the players will lift you up high.”

“This move by the old scoundrel deserves so reward. Such a warm-hearted developer is rare.”

“Hmph! Old scoundrel! If you act like this, don’t bla for encouraging you hard with my cash!”

“Why the change from kind words to harsh ones? (doge face)”

“Spending money, spending money! I can’t take it! Gu Sheng, old scoundrel, I order you to quickly bring the most expensive thing in the whole ga!”

“Piao Teacher’s small spending, those who know, know (LOL).”

“Sneaky Pig’s small recharge is like my house down paynt...”

“Hahahahaha...”

“...”

Players all expressed that they wanted to support APEX with real actions.

The signs of wild spending made Shen Miaomiao shudder inside.

Sothing was wrong!

The situation seed to be heading in an unexpected direction!

It was twelve out of ten parts wrong!

Why did the atmosphere start to feel gradually off?

Don’t rush!

Old Gu is just doing his small part to bring a little surprise to a player supporting Golden Wind!

His approach is worthy of affirmation, and even I am deeply touched!

But you all using such a blunt and simple thod to respond—isn’t that a bit extre?

I think there’s no need for this, right?

Or maybe you could wait a bit!

Wait for the next project. The next project—I want to work hard to make a profit. Then, bosses, you can support it strongly!

Can you all calm down a bit?

However!

Shen Miaomiao’s urgent calls in her heart were unheard by the strears, the viewers, and the players.

Right now, they all had only one thought!

To use the most direct and powerful way to tell Golden Wind—this move is aweso!

We approve! We are moved!

So!

We pay!

“Let’s first see what’s available,”

In the livestream, Piao Teacher said as he exited the ga to the main interface:

“I saw many reports before saying this ti APEX’s item charging model is purely green. Let’s see how green it really is.”

Speaking, Piao Teacher opened the ga’s store interface.

In the store’s UI design, Da Jiang continued the world’s style, mainly to match the players’ usual habits.

The store was divided into three interfaces: [Pass], [Skins], and [Recharge].

The latter two were standard with nothing special, not really catching Piao Teacher’s attention.

The key was the [Pass].

For this world, this was sothing new.

“What’s a pass?” Piao Teacher curiously clicked it: “Let’s see.”

Click—

With a sound like a Titan’s cockpit opening, the pass page appeared before Piao Teacher.

The first thing to catch his eye was the season pass’s na, level, and description:

[Season One: Glory Reboot]

[Level: lv2]

[Embark on the journey to beco a top hunter, explore Kings Canyon, complete tasks and accumulate experience to upgrade the pass. When you reach the peak, the sealed glory will be bestowed again...]

Below the description was the reward roadmap for pass upgrades.

Piao Teacher moved the progress bar slightly and understood:

“Oh—so that’s how it works, I get it,”

“This pass is open to all players. See, I just played one ga and the pass leveled to two,”

“The pass has two reward tracks,”

“The upper one is called [Free Pass Rewards], free, you get the rewards as you level up, roughly one reward every 10 levels,”

“The lower layer is called [Premium Pass Rewards], costs 38 yuan to unlock, but every level has a reward,”

“And there are a total of… holy crap! One hundred levels!”

“In other words…”

After a quick calculation, Piao Teacher was stunned!

“Wow! One pass can get 110 reward items, holy hell!!!”

This number was so shocking that not only did Piao Teacher yell, but the bullet comnts also exclaid—

“Holy crap! Spend once, get rewards a hundred tis?”

“So many rewards! What kind of ultimate unbeatable promotional bundle is this?”

“Who the hell bundles over a hundred rewards in one ga?”

“The key is it only costs 38 yuan! Friends! What does this an? It ans a legendary weapon can buy 23 and a half passes!”

“If you put it that way, this price is a bit too low.”

“Right? Doesn’t Golden Wind want to make money? The developnt cost must be at least tens of millions, maybe over a hundred million, right? They rely on selling pass after pass to break even?”

“Hiss—Golden Wind is doing charity?”

“But the level is quite high, 100 levels, seems hard to reach?”

“The pass lasts three months. Piao Teacher just played one ga and got to lv2. There are various tasks in between. You basically need 100 gas to get all rewards. Is that hard?”

“Indeed, just playing casually every day, you could finish in a week. If you grind hard for three days, you can max out.”

“This…”

38 yuan for one pass.

Compared to Gu Sheng’s previous world’s APEX pass price, it was nearly half.

Gu Sheng didn’t want to sell it for 60 or 70 yuan, but considering the ‘no attribute bonus’ skin model appeared for the first ti in this world, plus the motion-sensing pod market was still developing with a small user base,

he had to take this low-margin, high-volu approach to cover the market broadly, pushing the concept that everyone can improve.

If the food isn’t tasty, you have to let everyone taste it first.

If they like it, they’ll co back. If not... I’m only selling it for just over 30 yuan; you can’t bla then, right?

First, build the paid player base and expand player acceptance. Then later, launching gas like COD or R6, making a profit will be easier.

Of course!

For this, Gu Sheng also canceled the rule that tokens could buy the pass.

The pass can only be bought with real money.

After all, I’m selling it for 38 yuan, and you want unlimited refills? That’s too much.

Gu Sheng had so business foresight.

And the fact proved his business foresight was incredibly successful!

Players were all shouting in surprise!!!

Used to prices often hitting 888 yuan, they had never seen this kind of scale!

38 yuan?!

And over a hundred skin items?

Are you serious?!

This is more than just conscience!

Rounding up, this is basically giving it away!!!

For a mont!

Players found it hard to believe!

Used to eating chaff and vegetables, suddenly tasting fine rice and delicacies, many players called it impossible! Absolutely impossible!

How could such a generous developer still exist in this world?!

“Hey, no…”

Even Piao Teacher couldn’t help but laugh:

“This makes feel like a freeloader,”

“38 yuan for over a hundred rewards, I really feel a bit embarrassed.”

Speaking while flipping through the rewards.

The rewards were all kinds, varied, and each could be inspected. Piao Teacher, like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden for the first ti, exclaid repeatedly:

“This Spider Bomb is… oh, a box! Damn, it even gives free loot boxes, aweso...”

“Holy crap! This border is so cool! It should show up at the start, super cool...”

“Hahaha this taunt move is so damn cheeky...”

“Hiss—this gun skin is aweso, legendary tier, holy shit, this would sell for 888 in so gas, no joke...”

“Holy crap! Phantom Sister’s execution move is just like in the trailer, throwing people into a portal...”

“This is… oh damn, tokens! Tokens can buy anything on sale besides the pass? Hiss—this pass even gives money back?”

“Oh yo!”

“Whoa!”

“Wow!”

Shouts kept rising all the way to level 90!

Seeing the rewards, Piao Teacher first froze, then shouted:

“Hey! Hey holy crap! Look at this! This looks familiar, damn!”

This level 90 reward was a standard combat suit jacket with a triangular scarf.

The suit was overall yellow-green, and the scarf edges emitted particles like burning embers.

The viewers imdiately recognized it!

“Holy crap! This is… the Pilot’s combat suit, right?!”

“Exactly! And it seems to be Piao Teacher’s suit! Only Piao Teacher’s scarf is earthy yellow plaid!”

“Thanks a lot!!!”

“No! Giving out reward items like this is kind of cheating, Golden Wind! Huh???”

“Oh I get it! No wonder this season pass is called ‘Glory Reboot’ because the grand prizes are legendary Pilot gear!”

“*slams table, hands wallet.jpg*”

“Shatter the f***ing APU, ti to buy money!!!”

“Piao Teacher, keep scrolling, want to see what the later rewards are.”

“Yeah yeah, see if there are Piao Teacher’s pants...”

With the audience’s curiosity urging, Piao Teacher slowly flipped through the rewards.

Sure enough!

At level 95, a pair of Pilot combat pants with a jump pack appeared.

According to the description, this universal gear changes the parachute effect.

The mont you leave the plane, a shockwave expands around the player like a Titan drop.

Scrolling further, the level 99 reward was a Little Helper revolver skin.

This revolver was all silver, with the logo of the top hunter rcenary group engraved on the barrel. As kills increased, a sinister red mist gradually filled the cylinder.

This revolver belonged to no one else but the top hunter group’s leader, Sam, the behind-the-scenes organizer of APEX.

Ridiculous! Exaggerated! Unbelievable!

As the rewards beca more exquisite and the skin effects more dazzling, players’ expectations for the level 100 grand prize were raised to the highest!

“Hiss—huff—”

Piao Teacher took a deep breath:

“Brothers, the mont to witness a miracle has arrived, the level 100 ultimate grand prize—”

“Co out!”

Swish!

With a wave of his hand, Piao Teacher scrolled the pass progress.

A shining golden-green Pilot helt appeared, with dragon insignia painted on the temples and a visor flashing a water-blue X shape.

It was the Lastimosha, also Cooper’s Pilot helt!

This was the token passed down through two generations of legendary Pilots!

At the sa ti, it was the most familiar and emotionally significant item to players!!!

Boom—!!!

The livestream room instantly exploded!

“Old scoundrel! You’re using this as the final grand prize? Are you even human?”

“Here! Take it! I want to buy it, okay?”

“It’s just money! Take it!”

“Damn it, I fought alongside BT with this helt, and you sell it for 38? Who do you think you’re insulting? Raise the price!”

“138! No! 888!”

“Wuwuwu don’t kill with BT’s blade…”

“The legacy between and Piao Teacher can’t be this cheap! I now order you to quickly raise the price above 500 yuan!”

“Stop raising the price, bro, please don’t raise the price (crying).”

“Rich bro, give poor guys a chance, I beg you (bows).”

“I’ve played FPS for ten years, spent 888 yuan on legendary guns ten tis, blew my house, wrecked my family with spending, now that we finally have a pass, and you say it’s cheap? I just want a pretty skin, what’s wrong with that? (crying loudly)”

“Send the card number! I said send the card number!”

“The young master can’t stand human suffering. Housing manager, block this poor guy (dog face).”

“Hahahahaha you guys are ridiculous...”

The players were boiling!

And after Piao Teacher personally inspected the level 100 ultimate reward Pilot helt!

The players went completely wild!

Because!

This Pilot helt would replace the entire in-ga UI with the TTF style!

And!

Almost all system voice prompts in the ga would be replaced by BT’s voice!

The most crucial part was!

If you owned this helt skin, at ga start, you would hear a familiar and blood-pumping special voice line—

“Let’s fight our way through!”

“Wow—!!!”

Piao Teacher was stunned right then!

“Who can resist this? Huh?”

“Damn... Golden Wind... you release skins like this?”

“I just want to ask, if you release skins like this, how is it different from robbing money?”

A bullet comnt floated by calmly: “If it was robbing money, the old scoundrel would have to do it himself; this one doesn’t, and we even have to thank him...”

Piao Teacher laughed loudly!

[Beep beep! Paynt successful!]

38 yuan, level too low!

Piao Teacher’s spending philosophy was to go all the way!

He spent 700 yuan on the spot, bought levels, and rushed straight to 100 to grab the ultimate prize!

Although!

This spending thod was extrely uneconomical, and almost no one spent like this.

Because as the comnt said, 100 levels seed high but actually could be maxed out in a week of casual play.

Buying levels was expensive and not cost-effective.

But who was Piao Teacher!

Would he care about a re thousand or so yuan?

Spend!

Spend all the way!

The key was, even after maxing out, it still didn’t cost as much as a single legendary weapon!

Rewards in hand!

Comnts flooded with “Generous boss,” “Only 700 yuan,” “Conscientious developer,” “Enough, I’m going to spend now,” “Support Golden Wind!”

And Piao Teacher was joyful, imdiately using the tokens given by the pass to unlock Power Kid, equipped the Pilot set, and was ready to enter the training ground for a test!

In the livestream, players’ enthusiasm soared, the atmosphere was blazing!

But Shen Miaomiao, collapsed on the sofa, felt like she had fallen into an ice cave!

Look at the crazy bullet comnts in the livestream!

Look at the culprit sitting on the sofa eating sunflower seeds!

Shen Miaomiao’s face flushed red!

Gu Sheng—!!!

You old crafty rchant—!!!

You planned everything but didn’t expect this scoundrel to kill with nostalgia!!!

She knew how deep players’ feelings were for Titanfall.

And now, Gu Sheng had spotted that and directly put the Pilot helt into the ga, with BT’s voice included!

What kind of ga was APEX?

It was a derivative of Titanfall, a ga only freely open to Titanfall players!

Gu Sheng’s strike!

Was too precise!

With a grunt, it pierced right into the players’ hearts!

Don’t ntion the players!

Even Shen Miaomiao herself, who only completed the ga virtually, if not considering system profits and losses, would definitely spend so money to try hard to get the Pilot helt!

Bad! Bad! Bad!

She cursed three tis inside!

However!

There is no worst, only worse.

Before she could swallow this breath!

The puzzled voice of Piao Teacher sounded again in the livestream!

“Huh? What’s this heirloom trial experience… an?”
