Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 428: God Disposes
After knowing that it was most likely an unsolvable problem of hardware foundation, Zhou Dongsheng realized that this was not a situation that could be changed in a hurry.
Zhou Dongsheng originally thought that by using the “free” banner and adding “PUBG”, a blockbuster game with phenomenal potential, he could quickly gain a large number of users…
Now it seems that Zhou Dongsheng’s wishful thinking is going to fail. It is true that “man proposes, God disposes”!
Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng simply stopped worrying about it. As it was getting late, he immediately said hello to Brandon Green and went home to sleep.
After all, a problem of this magnitude cannot be solved by Zhou Dongsheng alone, and it is not Zhou Dongsheng's problem.
If he messed up the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", Zhou Dongsheng could still blame himself, but the current mainstream hardware configuration is difficult to support the needs of the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds"...
This situation is not something Zhou Dongsheng can control, but if he wants to make PUBG a phenomenal national game again... it may be a bit difficult.
Is it possible that starting from overseas markets is the most correct approach?
At this moment, Zhou Dongsheng suddenly had an epiphany in his mind, and he had a different opinion on the buyout system. Perhaps the buyout system is indeed more suitable for the development of the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".
After all, for those players who are willing to spend money to buy the game, perhaps just like Zhou Dongsheng and a group of anchors, they have no concerns about this at all.
By using the buyout system to recover funds, the entire game development department can gradually improve and optimize the game, and then expand the player audience step by step...
Eventually, it became a phenomenal game that swept the world and led to a craze for eating chicken. Perhaps this is the most suitable development path for this game...
However, now that things have come to this, Zhou Dongsheng does not intend to continue to regret. Even if the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is really ruined in his hands, Zhou Dongsheng can only express regret and then accept the result.
After all, he can afford the consequences now and just regard it as paying tuition. It's just that this tuition... is a little more expensive than he could have imagined.
But there was no way, since he was just reborn but did not carry the omnipotent system with him. Zhou Dongsheng laughed at himself and then cheered up.
At least for now, the situation is not hopeless.
This is only the first day of the public beta, and everything is still uncertain. There is still a chance to turn things around.
Compared to the unrealistic fantasy of becoming an instant hit after the public beta and becoming a phenomenal game, persistent operation and maintenance should be the real reason for the success of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".
Just like in 2009, a then-unknown moba game was officially released in a corner of a game show, no one expected that this game would become the world's number one in just three years!
What's more, Zhou Dongsheng still has many tricks up his sleeve. Don't worry, just let them fly for a while.
However, only boss Zhou Dongsheng could be so careless. Whether it is the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds company or the Pig Factory, there must be programmers working all night to find ways to troubleshoot and solve the problem...
Perhaps, this is the meaning of the saying "If your life is peaceful, there must be someone carrying the burden for you", and it is achieved only in a world where programmers are hurt (funny).
…
Zhou Dongsheng, who felt relieved after figuring it out, slept well last night. When he woke up the next day, he felt refreshed and full of energy.
Standing on the spacious balcony of the large flat, looking out the window at the lush park greenery and the rushing Pearl River not far away, it contrasts beautifully with the endless flow of cars on the street.
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but feel proud, and a line of ancient poetry suddenly came to his mind and he couldn't help but blurt it out.
"The Yangtze River rolls eastward, its waves wash away all heroes. Success or failure is all in vain!"
Although it was the Yangtze River that was being talked about, and what Zhou Dongsheng saw in front of him was the Pearl River, it did not prevent Zhou Dongsheng from pretending to be very cultured. He also seriously praised it, saying "It's so wet, so wet."
Then I did a set of warm-up exercises facing the rising sun, and ran for a while on the treadmill on the balcony facing the beautiful scenery outside, starting a beautiful day.
Afterwards, Zhou Dongsheng, looking radiant, drove slowly to Little People Media. As for the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds department next door, there was no rush.
After all, at the end of 2015, the famous Nvidia N cards are still at the beginning of the 9 series. Even the 10 series graphics cards that will be commonplace in the future will not be released until next year.
Most of the mainstream graphics card configurations currently owned by players are still in the previous generation of products, not to mention that for many players, discrete graphics cards are still not a standard requirement everywhere.
The vast majority of players are still using the i3 processor from the integrated graphics era. Although PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is not a 3A masterpiece, if you want it to run perfectly, the current mainstream configuration is naturally insufficient.
If Zhou Dongsheng wants to force players to upgrade their configuration to play the game based on the recently launched public beta version of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, he thinks the future version of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds can do this.
But now, it’s definitely quite tough.
After figuring this out, Zhou Dongsheng was no longer in a hurry. After all, there are always more solutions than problems. He just needed to be mentally prepared for a protracted war in advance.
After all, subsequent operation and maintenance are the decisive factors that determine the upper limit and lifespan of a game.
Because "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is an online game, not a stand-alone game.
What's more, Zhou Dongsheng is not a technical person and cannot provide any help from a technical perspective. He can only think of other ways in operation to maintain the popularity and longevity of the game "PUBG".
Obviously, live streaming is still a persistent path, and it is also the mainstream method to ensure the exposure of the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".
In addition to the top anchors, Zhou Dongsheng thought that he could also use the potential of PUBG to train a group of new anchors to serve as fresh blood.
Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng finally remembered the double Zhou female man who had been put aside for a long time after he signed him.
Unlike Zhou Shuyi, since joining Xiaorenwu Media, relying on the popularity accumulated from her original commentary and the official commentary resources that Zhou Dongsheng asked from Principal Wang, Zhou Shuyi has achieved steady development.
Although there is still a long way to go before becoming "Sister Zhou", there is still hope for the future.
As for Zhou Xing'er, also known as Mo Zi, the development of this retired professional player has not been so satisfactory. After all, whether it is the E-Sports Goddess Invitational or the retired players of the OMG women's team, they are far less important than the official female commentator.
As for live streaming, Mo Zi, who has not yet let herself go, naturally has little to show for her live streaming results, and is still in a long period of accumulation.
Therefore, among the small media with many talented people, he can only be regarded as an ordinary little anchor.
Although he is said to be a promising talent chosen by the boss, and with so many successful cases in the past, many people in the company look up to him.
But after such a long time, it is still lukewarm, which makes people wonder whether the boss has made a mistake or someone is using the company's reputation to gain a bigger reputation?
However, today, when the boss Zhou Dongsheng came to the company and enthusiastically called for Zhou Xing'er, all these thoughts and speculations were immediately shattered.
