I Just Want Players to Save Money, They Insist on Giving Me!

Ke Jin transmigrated into an era where gaming was in utter chaos. Everyone here deeply believed in the notion of buying happiness with money, as game companies ran wild with various schemes to trick and force players to spend. As a game enthusiast from his past life, Ke Jin felt like he was in a world without sunlight. Luckily, he obtained the Free Game Production System! Players could get the ultimate reward of the "Complete Collection of All Game Design Schemes" without spending a single cent! Not spending money? How hard could that be? Heap on the benefits! Give away 50 consecutive draws during the summer heatwave! Give away 100 draws on the second day after the server opens! Due to the game reaching 50 daily active users, we are issuing a cool skin set originally priced at 999! The planner's niece just turned 17 years and three months plus 7 days old, so we're giving away 50,000 crystals! My sincerity is almost flooding the players. Surely nobody will spend now, right? Secretary: Mr. Ke, good news! Our newly launched game has just reached over a hundred million in daily transaction volume on its first day! Ke Jin: Huh? How is that good news... No, what about the other game? The one where we give full 100-99 discount vouchers upon starting, isn't its sales terrible? Looking puzzled, the secretary said while anticipating the boss's reaction: They've been shouting things like 'what a conscientious company' and 'if we don't spend, they'll go bankrupt,' so they just topped up. That game sold a whopping one hundred million copies globally. Congratulations on making a billion! "......" At 3:30 a.m., lying in bed, Ke Jin was wide awake, unable to sleep. He posted a status: Please, I beg you, stop spending. You guys are really making it hard for me... Player: Understood, Mr. Ke is hinting life is hard, brothers, let's step up! Charge it!

Chapter 2: Fundamentals Can't Stump Him!_3

It would likely cause a huge impact on the root industry of agriculture, and over time, no one would farm or raise livestock anymore. (All of this is predicated on the notion that people on Blue Star have deeply ingrained the concept that 'games cost money,' just like food.)

"Alright," Ke Jin, now aware of the rules, had to start thinking of solutions anew.

If setting up a payment gateway was necessary, there were still some tricks he could pull off.

Couldn't he just make an insanely unreasonable price?

The game could be played for free, but in-app purchases would entirely depend on personal whims.

One dollar for an in-game item that is pretty decent sounds like a bargain.

But what if it costs 10 dollars?

100 dollars?

Ke Jin quickly flipped through the Origin of Species' finished product on the system interface. With a thought, he transferred it to his own computer.

He feverishly modified the source code for the payment interface; this sort of light programming was a breeze for him.

"The minimum recharge requirement... let's set it at 1000 yuan. The item you can buy... hmm, one half-hour speed up card!"

"No one will recharge now, right?" he said, dusting off his hands after finishing the task.

Done!

Ha, that wasn't difficult at all!

"Mr. Ke, is your game ready? You have been talking about making a small adjustment since a while ago, and it's been half an hour already," said Ke Yu, standing behind Ke Jin, watching his fluent coding that she couldn't comprehend, and so she urged him.

"Coming, coming." Ke Jin quickly closed all the programming software and opened up the Origin of Species interface, making room for her to sit.

"Baby Yu, give it a try. If there's no issue, then we can start considering putting it up for sale."

"Ah? I'm not needed for anything else? Artwork, voice-overs? No need for those?" Ke Yu asked in confusion.

"Not for this game, sister. I finished it a long time ago. We'll talk about it next time." Ke Jin wore a mysteriously smug smile, thinking that there would be plenty of opportunities to use her talents in the future.

About ten minutes later, Ke Yu finished her initial gaming experience.

Her expression held a trace of excitement.

"Although this game has some disparities compared to the scrolls big brother described earlier, it's equally fun and addicting!"

"Can't help it, it's like this at the start. Bread will come eventually," replied Ke Jin with a smile.

"So, how should we price this game? Buyout or in-app purchase?" Ke Yu was quite familiar with these two terms, the boys in her class often talked about them.

Ke Jin pursed his lips, gesturing for her to look at the recharge interface.

As soon as Ke Yu opened it, she choked, her clear eyes widening in disbelief.

"A... a thousand yuan??"

"Just for a half-hour speed up card? Brother, are you serious?"

"Turtle cat... That's faster money than Myanmar's jade market..."

"Are you sure this game will make money..."

Ke Jin suddenly felt unhappy.

Jade market of northern Myanmar's people aren't even worth comparing to me? Ah, that's not the point.

"It's not about the money; a good game will naturally gain player recognition," Ke Jin spoke evasively.

But inside, he was exulting.

Steady!

When Ke Jin saw that the phrase 'Are you a vampire?' was practically written on his little sister's face, he knew that any normal player would think the same upon seeing the recharge interface. They would curse while clutching their wallets tight.

This was exactly what he wanted!

No time to waste!

"Alright then, let's prepare to launch on the WWgame platform," Ke Jin declared confidently, rubbing his hands together!
