Chapter 44 Everything seems to be as before
What does Luo Bai really want?
money? Shares? A ticket into the world of capital?
Bullshit!
Those things have no appeal to Luo Bai!
He wants Ori to wash away his grievances, he wants Erxiao and those cutest fans of Chuxin Game Studio not to be wronged in any way, and he wants to fight for the breath in his heart!
Of course, a guy like Ma Bin, who has profits and calculations written into his bones, would definitely not believe this kind of thing.
Then I will give you a reason that you can accept.
"Because I want to stand still!" Luo Bai tapped his fingers hard on the table and made a muffled sound,
"I want the entire gaming world to know that I, Luo Bai, have the original intention!"
"Mr. Luo has such great ambitions."
Ma Bin nodded slightly,
"It's just that if Mr. Luo just wants to stand still, there is no need to make such a big fuss.
With Ori's quality, it's so easy to gain a foothold in the gaming world. ”
"I don't just have to stand still." Luo Bai calmly looked at Ma Bin in front of him,
"Dr. Ma, don't you think that old guys like you have been ruling the entire Yan Kingdom game sky for too long?
All young people who have a great love for the game industry will go to your place to be oppressed and bullied.
In the end, when I was able to truly learn the skills, my passion for playing games because I loved them had long since been completely wiped out.
I want to build a mountain.
As long as I am here and Chuxin Game Studio is here, the entire Yan Kingdom will always have a cradle of games that can breed love and ideals.
I want to break the old pattern and create a new one! ”
Even though Ma Bin has been in society for so many years, this is the first time he has seen such a loud-mouthed young man.
So scary!
But, is the pattern so easy to break?
Young people really don't know how high the sky is. They just have a successful "product" like Ori, and they dream that they can change the world.
Do you really think you are a god? It's all because of Ori that you're able to come to the table and talk to me face to face today.
But do you want to be able to continuously produce phenomena and epoch-making works like Ori?
joke!
You really think you have an entire generation of creativity hidden in your head!
"Mr. Luo, you are so loud, you are not so easy to use as a flagpole..."
Before Ma Bin finished speaking, he was rudely interrupted by Luo Bai:
"Now go out and ask several game companies on the market, who dares to mess with me?"
Seeing the playfulness on Luo Bai's face, Ma Bin felt as sick as if he had eaten shit.
Whether directly or indirectly, Luo Bai was undoubtedly the first person to bring Tianxing to such an extent. Although Tianxing himself played most of the role in this, the deterrent effect of such deeds was really terrifying.
What's more, this guy has actually connected with overseas markets. Do any domestic game companies really dare to compete with him?
Maybe there were before, but after the Tianxing incident is over, there won't be anymore.
Luo Bai? Stinky shit!
The quality of the game cannot be beaten again and again, but people who play public opinion still have overseas markets.
What's more, after this incident, who would dare to play public opinion with a game produced by Chuxin Game Studio?
Orijin protects the body and is immune to all poisons.
Ma Bin's silence made Luo Bai a little funny.
He had thought about a lot in the past two days, and he felt very happy to be able to tell it all in front of Ma Bin.
"Dr. Ma didn't come here today to apologize to me by pressing his head on his son's head, but you can just listen to my pretense here.
If you have anything to say, just say it. ”
"I want Mr. Luo to let the talented people go. He is still young and there are many things that he should not have to bear."
Ma Bin said sincerely.
Luo Bai understood what Ma Bin meant.
Given the current toughness of copyright protection, if Luo Bai insists on appealing, Ma Liangcai will have to carry at least one criminal record.
This is not in line with the Ma family's plan for Ma Liangcai's future.
To be honest, the evil spirit in Luo Bai's heart has almost dissipated now. In modern society, it is impossible to kill everyone. It's better to meet each other when we are human beings. However, this depends on the sincerity of our Chairman Ma.
Looking at Luo Bai's playful eyes, Ma Bin nodded slightly and gave his price:
"The first one is to fire Liang Renfeng.
Second, I resigned and Ma Liangcai also left Tianxing Company.
Third, the company will not hold Tang Yunpeng fully accountable.
Fourth, all income from Demon World 2 will be refunded. ”
The first two are for Luo Bai to discourage him, the third is for Luo Bai as a favor, and as for the last one...
Steam’s rule is that if you play a purchased game for more than two hours, you cannot apply for a refund.
But there are exceptions, that is, the money can still be refunded if the author is willing to refund it.
Players have limited spare money in their pockets. Under the premise that Demon World 2 cannot be refunded, and the gameplay of the two games is highly overlapping, most people will probably not buy it again after finishing Ori.
Even if you buy it, you are just waiting for the price to drop.
After Ori was vindicated, domestic sales increased by more than 200,000, which is evidence of this.
But if Demon World 2 promises a refund, the result will naturally be quite different.
Demon World has refunded the money, if not Ori, who will give it to?
Ma Bin's move was undoubtedly a reasonable and legal gift of money to Luo Bai.
"Since Mr. Luo wants to be the banner, how can such a run-down community be worthy of Mr. Luo? At the very least, it should be a magnificent office building.
If Mr. Luo has any needs in this regard, I can help introduce him. ”
What about buying a house, what about a scooter, what about a female secretary... bah bah bah.
In short, Ma Bin was full of sincerity and really made some suggestions that made Luo Bai very excited.
"Can Tianxing agree to these demands of Director Ma?" Luo Bai raised his doubts.
"Tianxing is not the only company in the Ma family."
Ma Bin took a deep look at Luo Bai, both to reassure him and to warn him.
"In principle, I agree to this deal." Luo Bai looked at Ma Bin in front of him calmly.
"Mr. Luo, if you have any other requests, please just tell me."
Seeing that the deal was about to be concluded, Ma Bin was in a good mood. Regardless of the cold tea in the cup, he picked it up and took a sip.
"Does Chairman Ma still owe me an apology?"
The tea cup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces!
……
Half a month later.
Ma Bin was removed from the board of directors, Liang Renfeng was fired, and Ma Liangcai was fired.
Tang Yunpeng was promoted to the position of general manager.
970,000 copies of "Pandemonium 2" were refunded, 900,000 copies were refunded, of which 840,000 copies were converted into sales of "Ori and the Blind Forest".
Tang Yunpeng personally posted a video stating that all the ideas in "Ori and the Dark Forest" came from "Ori and the Dark Forest". Ori is an epoch-making work and a model worth learning from for all game producers.
Luo Bai, the general manager of Chuxin Game Studio, also released a video to show that "Legend of Demon World 2" is not a plagiarism of Ori, but has its own core content for reference. He also expressed his willingness to award all games that are willing to make "Ori-like" games The producers own the copyright, but cannot plagiarize.
At the end of December, the total sales of "Ori and the Blind Forest" at this time were:
[Ori, 2785611 copies sold]
[All reviews: rave reviews! ]
[95% of the 102,754 user reviews for this game are positive. ]
Everything seems to be moving in the right direction.
Except...Ori's comment section.
"Mr. Luo, Ori is a big seller. When will the mirror DLC be released? Brothers are waiting for it."
"Mr. Luo, Ori and I support you very much, please don't pull your hips here."
Luo Bai:?
Why are you guys showing up again!
