The current situation that the cute pets collection, or Penguin Corporation, was facing could already be described as not optimistic.
On the Internet, a large number of netizens began to bombard Penguin for scamming money.
The slogan of " RMB Penguin " and " refund money " had even become a trending topic on the Internet. It was popular in major forums and social media applications.
Regardless of whether they were following the trend or sincerely shouting slogans asking for a refund.
At least, Penguin Gaming's reputation on the Internet had completely collapsed.
The collapse of the company's reputation was secondary.
Right now, the biggest headache for Penguin was still the company's top three annual revenue game, the Collection of Cute Pets!
The Collection of Cute Pets was now the target of criticism on the Internet.
Even though Penguin had already released great benefits.
They even returned the game coupons to the old players in an attempt to win back their hearts.
It was a pity.
The players who had seen through Penguin's evil intentions did not buy it at all.
Who knew that Penguin would be able to fool him this time.
How would they scam the players next time?
"Continue to give out benefits, lower the lottery price, and think of a way to retain the PC players!”
Ma Huateng had already given up on the idea of saving the console market.
Keeping the PC players was the most important thing!
The damage caused by this Internet storm to Penguin was also visible to the naked eye.
The first batch of 500,000 WGs received 470,000 refund requests.
Due to the price being set at a high standard, the price of a single MG console was 899RMB.
This wave of refunds of 470,000 units meant a refund of 420 million in cash!
In addition to the console, the console version of the game, the Collection of Cute Pets, was also refundable.
A single card cost 49RMB and 470,000 refunds. That was 23 million in cash!
Penguin had already given out nearly 450 million yuan just to deal with the refund!
Don't forget, other than this batch of refundable hosts.
Penguin still had a lot of pre-orders for the MG console!
Now that the reputation of the MG console had exploded, the players who pre-ordered it basically decided to return the goods and refund them as soon as they received them.
470,000 MG units was already a refund of nearly 500 million yuan.
If the remaining millions of hosts were also suffering from the fate of being refunds...
Penguin would have to bear a huge financial loss.
Let's not talk about the losses in the mainframe sector for the time being.
The key problem was that the PC game, The Collection of Cute Pets, was also at the forefront of the storm.
Games were the lifeblood of Penguin Corporation.
The failure of the host panel was equivalent to the failure of a project attempt. Penguin's size was enough to support it.
However, once the main ground of PC games was lost.
It was a devastating blow to the penguins!
"In addition, the hosting business of 'The Collection of Cute Pets' will be suspended. The IP discovery business of animation and comics will also be suspended.”
Ma Huateng realized the crux of the problem."Study the Pokemon series properly!”
Come to think of it, Penguin actually started by making games.
Whenever a game became popular, they would follow the trend, copy, and produce it, then rely on volume to seize the market.
However, this time, Penguin's initial positioning was wrong.
They shouldn't focus on the console section, but should first copy the essence of the Pokemon series.
They were trying to seize the console market by making games that followed the Pokemon series!
This should be the strategy of Penguin!
Ma Huateng had completely understood.
This time, he was just confused by the new concept of the mainframe, so he found the wrong direction of development.
Fortunately, there was still time.
"Boss Ma, you mean that we also want to develop a Pokemon game?”
Li Yan's brain worked very quickly. If we use 'The Collection of Cute Pets' as an IP and develop a Pokemon game…"
"In that case, we can not only drive the market for the Collection of Cute Pets, but also seize the market for Pokemon. We can also transplant it to the console and save the reputation of MG!”
This wave, this wave was killing three birds with one stone!
"Okay, study the Pokemon series properly. We can't have any more problems this time.”
" Get the best game design team in our company to dig out the core gameplay of the Pokemon series," Ma Huateng said firmly." Add in the original art designer of the Cute Pets Collection."”
Penguin Corporation's new game would definitely surpass Pokemon. It would restore the company's reputation and regain its leading position in the game market!
Before this new plagiarized masterpiece was released.
The penguin chose to lie flat and play dead.
Even if everyone on the internet were to point fingers at us, as long as we pretended to be dead and didn't say anything, it would be as if nothing had happened!
What was the highest level of shamelessness?
Perhaps this was it.
On the other side.
The indirect beneficiary of Penguin's downfall was Wang Yan.
The players realized that the GBA was as good as the MG.
There was no need for fancy performance and graphics. As long as it was enough and the game was fun enough, it was enough.
When MG returned 470,000 units, GBA sales surged by nearly a million units.
Many media statistics showed that: The number of GBA users in China had already exceeded two million.
This brand new digital product was taking over the digital market at an extremely fast speed!
"Hmph, I didn't stream MG's game at the beginning. There were still netizens in the stream.”
Exploding Fish TV.
The silly little girl who was livestreaming brought up the topic of MG's collapse."What about those people who led the way back then? Hurry up and come out and apologize!"
Thinking back to the past.
WeGame came at them aggressively.
Not only did Penguin allow its own live streamers to stream the MG version of the game.
He also asked other live streaming platforms, such as the big streamers of Exploding Fish TV, to start live streaming as soon as possible.
However, the big live streamers of Exploding Fish TV, led by Dauntless Little Sister and PDD, had a tacit understanding that they did not choose to start the live broadcast of MG.
Why?
Take the silly little sister as an example.
When she got the MG console, she immediately opened it and played with it for a while.
After all, a live broadcast had to pay attention to the effect of the live broadcast.
If the livestream of the MG version of the game was not very effective, she would not sacrifice her livestream to promote the console of Penguin Games.
After trying to play for a while before the broadcast, Little Sister Dai knew:
This thing won't do!
It was more reliable to live stream Pokemon Pikachu.
Being beaten up on a live broadcast was much more effective than a live broadcast of a lottery draw.
Not to mention, the silly little sister also had a bad luck attribute.
"Eh? Pokémon has been updated?"
Halfway through the live broadcast, the little girl received a push from a video website."Orange League chapter? The follow-up chapter is out so soon?"
"Ghostly, Pokemon Special has been updated too?”
"The content of the manga is based on the content of Pokemon Pikachu?”
"Wow, brother, which one should I watch first? I'm having a hard time choosing!"
(I'm sending you an update. I'm asking all readers to give me more flowers and tickets to support me!)!）
