Chapter 22: A Dull Knife Cuts the Flesh
"Wait, something very strange happened!" Ishidai's assistant suddenly said nervously: "A player has completed the level of completion! He has given a complete level of completion strategy!?"
"What!?" Ishidai was stunned and grabbed the tablet computer that had passed the assistant in his hand, and his voice hoarse: "It's only an hour before someone has passed the level!? Impossible! There is absolutely no such master!"
"Not only pass the level, but also complete the level! He opened up all 1,627 hidden easter eggs and 81 hidden levels!" the assistant said anxiously.
Ishidayi's face immediately felt ashamed.
Burying easter eggs and designing hidden levels in the game has always been the only way for game companies to attract players. I remember that in the era of red and white machines, it is said that there is a game called Conra that designed hidden eight levels in the game.
This news has been rumored by the game fans. Countless players have been working hard to find the hidden eight levels of underwater. Some people even hug at the coffin when they quickly enter the coffin.
This is the secret of the hidden levels of the game. It is like a little roundworm in the player's belly, seducing the player to continue playing.
One hour, only one hour!
The universe Pac Man team designed the Easter eggs and hidden levels for a full three years were all broken! What an incredible speed!
After this guide is released, it will greatly reduce players' expectations for Pac-Man in the universe. There is no secret left. What else can you use to attract players to play over and over again? Pay over and over again!
I almost fainted on the spot when I jumped to read the full guide of 1.5 million words!
"Minister, a colleague called and said that even the Pac-Man plug-in of the universe has come out! It is currently spreading wildly!" Ishidai's assistant answered a call and hurriedly reported.
If you are exploring all the Easter eggs and hidden levels are like bombs, it will greatly reduce players' interest in the game.
Then the game plug-in is a nuclear bomb! It will completely end any game, no matter how excellent it is!
Ishida Ichiro Muji, relying on his many years of experience in the gaming industry, he realized that his universe Pac-Man might be defeated!
...
Just as Ishidai was burning with bad news one by one, Li Yi and Coke went to eat chocolate at home and browse the Star Network.
The so-called super game expert who passes the level within one hour and gives detailed game strategies is the little guy Cola.
With 16.8 million core Coke, no matter how complicated the game is, it cannot stump him. He completed the analysis of Pac-Man in the universe in just one minute and wrote a super strategy of 1.5 million words.
It was Li Yi who asked him to delay the release by one hour, otherwise the strategy plug-in would have been flying all over the Internet.
"Master, I still don't understand. Can we defeat Namco by doing this? I see that their universe Pac Man is still very downloaded on major mobile game platforms. In just one hour, the download volume has reached 3.5 million times." Coke said without commenting.
Li Yi smiled wickedly and said, "Who said I want to defeat them? I want to drag them down. There is a big difference here."
Coke shook his head stupidly.
Li Yi smiled and said, "The first step we did was to completely crack the Easter eggs and hidden levels of Pac Man in the Universe. The reason for doing this is to make this game completely secrets. Without Easter eggs and hidden levels, Pac Man in the Universe will soon lose the player's viscosity."
"The second step is to release the key source code to the hacker website. Hackers will use these codes to develop plug-in software to make the game even more unfair. Once the game loses fairness, the failed party will soon leave the game, and the winner will lose the pleasure of challenge and then leave."
"And after the source code is leaked, free plug-ins will be derived, making those props that should have been charged free! This is even more important. It is originally a free game. Once you lose the charge for props, Namco will not only not make money from Pac-Man in the universe, but will also lose money!"
"Don't look at the large amount of downloads now, these players will not pay after downloading! The more they download, the more they will die! "
"Faced with hundreds of millions of customers, Namco is definitely unwilling to give up. If you don't give up, you have to continue to invest money in operation. Because plug-in software exists, the longer the operating time, the more they lose money!"
After a pause, Li Yi continued: "Your detailed power plus some of the source code of the game comes out too quickly. No player in the world can do it, so they only suspect that they are insiders in the company and will definitely conduct a large-scale investigation within the company, causing panic."
"This is called internal and external troubles. I don't want to see Namco fall out overnight. What I want is a dull knife to cut their flesh, radiating their blood with one knife and letting them die by themselves."
Coke took a breath, and he suddenly felt that his master was very evil...
"Master is so amazing!" Cole said admiringly: "I suddenly realized that anyone who is your opponent will be very painful. According to the language of the earth I learned, this is called digging a row of pits and waiting for them to jump inside one by one."
Li Yi said unhappily: "I'm just using your abilities. When you learn to apply your abilities, I'll be relieved. Although the civilization level of the earth is not high, it is still very dangerous."
Coke was slightly stunned and thought to himself, "Does the master mean to let me learn how to cheat people..."
...
As expected by Li Yi, Namco began to catch the insider that night. All the leaders of all sizes in the company were called to question, which made people panic.
There were no insiders at first, and their investigation took a lot of time and money and naturally they could not reach a conclusion. This practice has aroused resentment from employees. Who would like to work in an environment where they were suspected of being insiders all day?
The unity within the company is gone, and everyone begins to make plans for their future. When colleagues meet, they are cold and start to suspect each other.
Finally, the board of directors gritted its teeth and, with the idea of rather killing a thousand people by mistake than letting go, fired one third of the employees of the Cosmic Pac Man project team.
Such cold-blooded approach aroused great anger among employees. In just one month, more than half of the technical backbones voluntarily resigned.
Yamato Culture has always been known for its unity. Namco is also a very united company. Others cannot dig out talents if they want to dig out. Now they destroy the Great Wall themselves, which naturally allows rival companies to see opportunities and desperately poach people in their companies.
At the same time, under the fierce propaganda offensive that cost 50 million Earth dollars, Pac-Man in the universe became popular all over the world at a download speed of more than 30 million times a day.
Namco was surprised to find that there were many players who downloaded the game, but not many people actually paid for the props.
Those hacking organizations obtained the game source code sent by Coke and created countless plug-ins, which completely lost the fairness of the game and wiped out the patience of the players.
Game operation has costs, marketing costs, customer service costs, and technical support costs.
Namco found that it not only couldn’t make money by operating this universe Pac Man, but it was constantly losing money! The more players the more you would lose!
From launching on September 1st to withdrawing from the operation of Pac-Man Games on October 1st, Namco has created the most painful history in the gaming industry in 30 years and has completely become a laughing stock in the industry.
The company's stock price fell to the bottom, and all stock rating companies without exception listed Namco's stock in junk.
Correspondingly, Memory Maniac was named the best mobile game of the month in September.
The creator of this game, Exorcist, was named the best personal mobile game developer of the month.
Coke was very happy to win the title of the strongest ashes player of the month.
I cracked the universe Pac Man game within an hour and gave an extremely detailed guide. I dare not say that such achievements are unprecedented, but at least there are no ones before.
At almost 0:00 on October 1st, the second masterpiece of the Exorcist, the Interstellar Playground, was quietly launched without any promotion.
The game adopts a paid model, with a fee of one yuan per download. In just 24 hours, the number of downloads of the Interstellar Amusement Park exceeded 5 million...
