Chapter 196 Healthy game, time lock!
As time came to the end of the year, Tianba Studio also conducted a round of routine updates and maintenance for its games.
Among them, "Global Evolution", as a new game, has the most updated content.
Followed by "Don't Leave After School"!
As a casual game that focuses on playing marbles and reminiscing about childhood, the number of players has once again surged since it became a free game.
Don't ask, just ask and you'll get money!
Since this game entered the advertising era and people could get paid by watching ads, "Don't Leave After School" has become the first choice for countless players to hang up and even play for entertainment.
Do you understand the value of earning two incomes from one job during working hours?
Be reasonable...
When Chen Ba heard about this for the first time, his expression was as shocked as everyone else.
Can you still play like this?
If you play "Don't Leave After School" during working hours, in addition to your boss paying you a salary, you can also receive an additional share of the advertising fees of the local server, focusing on "time management"!
The premise is not to be discovered by the boss...
Otherwise it will be miserable!
If your boss knew that you were playing "Don't Leave After School" during working hours to earn advertising fees, fines and salary deductions would be a trivial matter. In serious cases, you might even be fired directly.
According to many players in the Tianba community, the company they work for has strictly prohibited the installation and playing of the game "Don't Leave After School" on company computers.
Once discovered, you will be fired immediately!
Even when playing Landlord during work hours, or watching videos and scrolling through Weibo, the management would turn a blind eye, pretend not to see it, or not punish them.
But playing "Don't Leave After School" during working hours is different. Bosses generally cannot accept the behavior of their employees "working part-time" during working hours.
"part time?"
"That's right! Many companies stipulate this. Playing "Don't Leave After School" during working hours is not considered laziness or fishing, but a part-time job."
Chen Ba explained: "However, it depends on whether employees comply with company regulations. Anyway, as far as I know, many people will still play "Don't Leave After School" during working hours even if the company has regulations."
This can be seen from the average online time of players of "Don't Leave After School: Pinball Storm"!
This game is amazing!
The amazing thing is that the players who play this game are very enthusiastic about playing it. Except for a few untimely time points, the number of active online players is maintained at a very high level at other times.
"Which time points?"
Xiao Lu was very curious. Didn't it say that the players of "Don't Leave After School" were very active? It doesn’t fluctuate much 24 hours a day. At what time points will there be abnormalities?
"On weekdays, from 7 to 9 in the morning, from 5 to 6 in the afternoon, and from 12 in the morning to 6 in the morning, the number of people online will plummet!"
Chen Ba explained: "Except for these special time points, the number of people online in "Don't Leave After School" during the rest of the time is stable and strong."
"Ah? Why?"
Xiao Lu was a little confused after hearing this. Could it be that at noon, the number of people online in the game was also very high?
"Of course it's high!"
"From 12 to 6 in the morning, that's when everyone sleeps and rests, so it's normal for the activity to be low."
"From six to seven o'clock, when you get up to wash up and have breakfast, the number of active people picks up slightly, and then drops again from seven to nine o'clock...that's when people go to work."
Chen Ba said with a smile: "When I got to the company, I dealt with the more important work for a while, and then started fishing. "Don't Leave After School" was hanging in the background, and I cut it out to play two games while no one was paying attention."
This lasted until closing time.
After get off work, the number of online active players in "Don't Leave After School" reaches its peak. Almost 98% of the players come online after dinner and then log off before going to bed.
From this change curve of the number of people online, it is not difficult to deduce the daily life of most "Don't Leave After School" players.
I got up at six o'clock in the morning, took advantage of the break between washing and eating, and quickly boarded "Don't Leave After School" to play a few games. When I got to the company, I continued to fish, and after get off work, I started playing crazy...
Before going to bed, I was still thinking about how much advertising fees I had earned in the game today. Should I get a new graphics card next month?
"Are you so addicted?"
After listening to Brother Ba talk about the lifestyle of most "Don't Leave After School" players, Xiao Lu couldn't help but hesitantly said: "Is it really worth squeezing out all the time for rest and entertainment?"
"how to say……"
Chen Ba knew what Xiao Lu wanted to say, and sighed: "It's not worth it to you, because your income is very high and you can enjoy your life to the fullest, and you don't care about the advertising fees."
"But for those whose monthly income is less than 10,000 yuan, the temptation to play games and earn rent in a month is quite strong."
And there’s something more!
Everyone has a different definition of rest and entertainment. Perhaps for Xiao Lu, this kind of rest is not considered rest, but instead he found himself a job in class.
But for 99% of people, playing games is a good way of rest and entertainment, and they can also make money along the way. Why not?
"But you're right!"
Chen Ba also admitted that once this lifestyle continues for a long time, it is indeed not good for physical and mental health.
So he planned to add a "time lock" limit to the game "Don't Leave After School: Pinball Storm"——
Minors are not allowed to play!
Adults can play the game for 40 hours a week! Once this length of time is exceeded, you will not be able to obtain any advertising revenue from the game this week.
At the same time, there will also be various warm reminders in the game, warning everyone not to be too addicted to the game, go out for a walk when you have nothing to do, and bask in the sun on the road...
[No matter how fun the game is, it can’t compare to the scenery outside the window! Sitting for too long is harmful to your health, so go out for a walk! 】
"Yes, it's really time to limit it."
Huang Qing walked in and handed a report to Chen Badao: "I have received the official letter from the superior management department!"
The meaning of this official letter is very clear, that is, in response to the popularity of the game "Don't Leave After School: Pinball Storm", Tianba Studio is required to do a good job of "health tips" and "standard guidance".
This game is too easy to get addicted to.
You can get paid by playing games. This model is completely irresistible to many people. It has a sense of absurdity like "Azhen, are you serious?"
It's okay if you have some self-control.
Some players have gone crazy since they made money in this game. They want to stay in the game all day except eating and sleeping.
The superior management noticed this situation and naturally wanted to warn Tianba Studio and ask them to impose more restrictions to avoid bad things happening.
As a result, duration lock came into being.
40 hours a week is not too short, and is completely enough for an adult.
If you feel that it is not enough, then you should really consider playing games as a profession. This kind of behavior is definitely not good for your physical and mental health, so there is nothing wrong with limiting it.
"Then make an announcement!"
Chen Ba decided to edit the relevant content of the time lock into an announcement to inform the players.
It doesn't matter whether the players accept it or not.
You know with your butt that players will definitely oppose this measure. I think that I am an adult and have enough judgment and self-control capabilities to not need this kind of time lock.
But they were opposed to it, and Tianba Studio had to show its attitude.
If we don't correct our attitude, Tianba Studio may be criticized, and even the game "Don't Leave After School" will have to be removed from the shelves.
But what he didn't expect was...
After the announcement was made, most players seemed to have expected it and were not too excited or even opposed.
The few protests came from a few uncles working as security guards!
That's right!
An uncle who claimed to be a security guard at Junyuan in Washington said that he could not accept the time lock and believed that it was an official weakening of him.
This 48-year-old uncle, due to the special nature of his job, spends more than 12 hours playing games every day.
Salary plus advertising share can easily reach tens of thousands of dollars a month!
it's good now……
"Don't Leave After School" has a time lock, and there will be no profit after more than 40 hours. His monthly income has dropped sharply, and his monthly income may only be seven or eight thousand.
"Damn it, are you still protesting?"
Xiao Lu simply admired this uncle. He could earn seven to eight thousand a month as a community security guard. Not satisfied with this, he wanted to earn more?
That’s almost it!
It is not difficult to tell from his words that the uncle's intention was to show off rather than protest. Chen Ba ignored him and said with a smile: "He is changing his tricks to show off that he earns 8,000 yuan a month as a security guard!"
Are you envious of everyone?
I must be envious! You can earn seven or eight thousand a month as a security guard. Who would not be envious of such a good thing? It really saved me twenty years of detours!
As soon as the security uncle's remarks came out, the entire Tianba community was in an uproar.
Many young men saw a bright road! I have an unprecedented longing and yearning for the job of security.
In the past, when there was no game like "Don't Leave After School", people mostly made fun of the work of security guards. After all, as we all know, the salary of a security guard is really not high, and it is difficult to support oneself.
But it's different now.
Since the game "Don't Leave After School" was released, the income of security guards has never been low. It can even be compared with white-collar workers sitting in the office. It is expected that everyone will be excited.
But my heart is still beating...
For security guards, the basic salary is still too low! Even if the income from the game "Don't Leave After School" is added, it can only barely support the family.
Is there any job with the same leisurely work and time to fish and play games, but with a slightly higher basic salary than a security guard?
It turns out!
After Tianba Studio issued a time lock announcement for "Don't Leave After School", the security guard openly protested but actually showed off his income. After that, the entire Tianba community seemed to have a demonic trend.
What kind of evil spirit?
Of course, players from all walks of life came out to introduce the "fishing" positions in their respective industries.
The security uncle's speech changed the job hunting intentions of many people, especially young people.
In the past, everyone aspired to units and companies with better wages and benefits. It didn't matter if they were a bit hard and tired, as long as they were given enough money.
After all, you are young, you have to work hard, you have to work hard for a few years to save a house and a car, and at least marrying a wife is not a big problem, and many people can accept it.
But after visiting Tianba Community and discovering that the security guard can earn tens of thousands a month by drinking tea and playing games every day, everyone's mentality has changed.
A little bit tired?
Fuck your sister! If you want to find a job, you should find a job with less leisure time. It doesn't matter if the salary is low or not. Anyway, you have Brother Ba to take care of it. As long as you have leisure time, that's fine.
It's a pity that Brother Ba has added a duration lock to "Don't Leave After School"!
If there were no time locks, everyone would be more enthusiastic about this kind of low-income but more leisurely job.
There is still a 40-hour weekly limit.
According to data analysis by well-known master players in the community, after the 40-hour limit per week, the revenue from a single advertisement increased, but the number of advertisements that players could watch decreased.
Generally speaking, if you eat 40 hours a week, if you are in a region with a lot of advertising and high advertising fees, it will only cost about three to four thousand yuan a month.
This is nothing compared to before!
In the past, there was no time limit. There were people who did not go to work and made legendary achievements of "making over 10,000 yuan a month" purely by playing games.
Not anymore.
Everyone finally understood it, and Brother Ba was more inclined to encourage everyone to treat "Don't Leave After School" as a part-time job instead of a main job.
Someone like a security guard is the most suitable one. You can earn two jobs and double your monthly income.
Other jobs are fine too.
Anyway, you can't just sit around and play games every day and just expect Brother Ba to give you money. That's impossible, and Brother Ba doesn't want everyone to become this kind of person.
"You're right..."
Chen Ba liked a post and commented below: ""Don't Leave After School" is very popular now, and many advertisers are willing to sponsor it, but what about the future?"
"If people are too invested in playing and even lose their jobs, what will everyone do if the game stops being popular and advertisers withdraw their funding?"
This is also his core point.
"Don't Leave After School" can be a game that provides free benefits to everyone, but it cannot become a money-making channel for everyone to survive.
After all, this channel is unstable. If you can make money today and be happy, but if you have no money tomorrow, why don’t you starve to death?
"By the way, I hope everyone will support the merchants who place advertisements in "Don't Leave After School"! Because every sponsor is giving real money, and it is right to provide people with jobs and make people smile..."
Picking up the bowl to eat and putting down the bowl to scold your mother is not only disrespectful to the benefactor, but also cuts off your own money.
Chen Ba hopes that every company that comes to advertise in "Don't Leave After School" will receive the courtesy and respect that players deserve.
After all, people really give money!
It can’t be said that the players who paid the advertising fee on the front foot and received the money on the back foot can turn around and say that XX products are not good, so don’t buy their products, right?
Once or twice is okay.
If things continue like this, who will come to sponsor "Don't Leave After School", who will come to place advertisements in this game, and who will be stupid enough to give everyone money?
Fortunately, the players are all sensible.
Everyone expressed to Chen Ba that they would not do such stupid things that would harm the collective interests of "Don't Leave After School" players.
As long as there is an advertiser, they are VIPs. Players will actually buy their products, and after purchasing, they will not forget to share them with their friends...
When collecting money to do things, you must do your best!
