Losing Money to Be a Chapter 211 - Boss Pei is Very Heaven-Defying!

Chapter 211 Boss Pei is Very Heaven-Defying!

July 26th, Monday…

At Shang Yang Gas…

Lin Wan had been scrunching her nose and trying Bloody Battle Song out for two weeks now.

In the beginning, she was contemptuous and confused. Now, she found that there was a purpose to a ga like that.

The original Bloody Battle Song was a traditional ga with paywalls. Ballers could spend money to buy experiences while ordinary players could play with ballers and act as their sidekicks or their punching bags.

In other words, those with money would show up with money while those without money would show up for their friends.

War gas with paywalls, like Bloody Battle Song, were filled with negative emotions. The biggest problems were feelings of injustice and forcefully-generated hatred.

These were the sa two reasons that similar war gas with paywalls were criticized badly.

Such gas were unfair because the battle power one could obtain in the ga depended on the amount of money they spent. The richer one was, the stronger they would be. Ga rchants would create three, six, or nine levels in a single ga. Depending on how much one topped up in the ga, they would get different experiences.

If one spent money, they could kill four parties at once and completely destroy other players’ gaming experience.

This type of injustice could easily provoke negative feelings in players. After all, there was a saying, ‘do not worry about scarcity but rather about uneven distribution’.

Moreover, such gas could easily generate hatred by force because many ga rchants would design the ga experience to invoke a competitive spirit in them and cause them to spend more money on the ga.

Take war for example.

If one could take over a city, they would be crowned the king. An announcent would be made to the entire channel, and all the players in the city would receive rewards. This was an excellent opportunity for one to show off in front of other players.

Many players wanted to be crowned king. This would in turn depend on who spent the most money on the ga.

‘If you top up ten thousand yuan, I’ll top up thirty thousand yuan. If you top up fifty thousand yuan, I’ll top up a hundred thousand yuan…’

This competitive mindset would form so sort of involution chanism. Two ballers could compete with each other and end up buying a bunch of useless computer data. They would be playing right into the hands of the ga rchants.

After each update, new equipnt would be released. No matter how much the ballers had spent before, they would have to start from scratch in order to avoid being overtaken.

After one or two years, players—who had spent a huge amount of money on the gawould look back and see that they had bought nothing but emptiness.

However, from another angle, why would gas like that beco popular?

This was all because complete, rich, and dynamic worlds existed in the ga.

Actually, traditional online MMORPG gas were doing the sa thing. Take Fantasy World for example; there were guilds in that ga as well. The officials included guild leaders, guild managers, assistant team leaders, commanders, and the like. Players could also take on roles at different levels.

War gas with paywalls, such as Bloody Battle Song, allowed players to beco more engrossed in their roles. This was because the human relationships were much more complex, and there were many more levels.

The only difference was that a player in Fantasy World would pride himself in the amount of ti he spent in the ga and his understanding of the ga’s chanics. On the other hand, a player in war gas with paywalls would pride himself in the amount of money he had spent on the ga.

Now, what Bloody Battle Song’s update had done was to get rid of nearly all the paywalls in the ga. This way, less negative emotions would be invoked in players. The entire ga was now at the standard of traditional MMORPGs like Fantasy World.

At the sa ti, the complex levels and human relationships in Bloody Battle Song were retained. Every player could take on different roles, creating a pseudo-society in the ga and allowing them to operate in an orderly fashion.

The ‘Chosen One’ system was an example of this. Each person had a chance to play a critical role. This experience was sothing that other gas could never provide.

After being chosen by the ‘Chosen One’ system, players’ skills would imdiately surpass that of other players. They would be allowed to have a hack-and-slash experience.

Hack-and-Slash gas could recreate this feeling as well, but one would only be fighting non-playing characters in gas like that. It was all down to programming. On the other hand, in Bloody Battle Song, one would be fighting other real players. Behind each ID was a human player.

One would be invincible and help one’s team attack critical locations on the battleground, thus showing off in front of hundreds of other players. It would be extrely difficult for other types of gas to create the sa sense of achievent.

Thus, the changes made to Bloody Battle Song could be summarized. As much as possible, the unique experience of war gas with paywalls was retained while the aspects that invoked negative, ‘toxic’ feelings in players were removed.

Lin Wan only understood these things after playing Bloody Battle Song every day during this ti and talking to many other players in the ga.

“I see. It looks like I’ve been too childish. I never knew that there were so many ways about this. Now I understand why ballers liked to co here and spend huge amounts of money before as opposed to playing gas like Fantasy World.

“Boss Pei’s aim is clearer to

now. Why did he want to buy over Shang Yang Gas, even as it incurred huge losses? He wanted to use Bloody Battle Song to try sothing very risky. He wanted to conduct an experint that no one had thought about conducting!

“Boss Pei wanted his players to stop being slaves to money. He wanted to adjust his players’ taste, and show them that it was possible to enjoy feelings that only ballers used to feel, even without having to spend money…

“I must admit… this motivation is noble indeed!

“Or shall I say… this is absolutely heaven-defying!”

Lin Wan could not help but view Boss Pei with fresh eyes.

Gas with paywalls could be profitable because they sold unique, custom gaming experiences to ballers at high prices.

From golden, dazzling wings to the title of king in a war ga, these were all products that had been custom-made for ballers. On the other hand, ballers did not mind spending thousands of yuan on these things.

Through this process, ga companies stood to profit and ballers stood to enjoy a custom-made gaming experience. The only people who were getting hurt were the players who acted as the ballers’ sandbags.

Now, Boss Pei was choosing not to make profits like that. He wanted to snatch the custom-made experience from ballers’ hands and distribute that to ordinary players according to set rules.

Wasn’t this a heaven-defying move?

Lin Wan felt that she was bearing an even heavier burden.

Boss Pei had spent so much money to create Bloody Battle Song: The Powerful Version in order to make up for the ga’s only shortcoming: its graphics. After the ga was complete and given Tengda Gas’ strong marketing capabilities, the ga might slowly revamp the entire dostic market for gas with paywalls!

Of course, this might be too idealistic. Gas with paywalls would not go extinct. As long as ballers were willing to pay, they would remain in the market.

However, as long as Bloody Battle Song: The Powerful Version could cleanse the gas market a little and influence players’ taste, it would have achieved loads for the community!

So ga developers wanted to tender to ballers and used gas with paywalls for their own interests; other ga developers wanted to create a reputation for themselves and develop standalone gas very seriously.

Boss Pei was probably the only one in the industry who had already achieved huge success with standalone gas but still bothered enough to intentionally get involved in ssy situations elsewhere. He was willing to give up making huge profits, purely for the sake of influencing gars’ tastes and leading them to freedom from slavery to money.

How noble were his aspirations?!
