Chapter 1049: They Really Invested A Lot For This Lucky Draw!

There was not much news on the internet during this period. The news in the gaming circle basically revolved around these few key events: the money-burning war between Tengda and Finger Games, the 515 Games Festival, the Fitness Battle, the smart fitness drying rack, IOI mobile game, and so on.

The players did not know what to do.

There were a few games that Tengda would give away as long as they played them. The discount on IOI was also very cost-effective. What’s more, there were new IOI mobile games and Fitness Battle…

It was precisely because the competition between the two companies was extremely intense that players were also in a state of benefiting from it. They were constantly paying attention to the movements of the two companies.

After IOI’s mobile game was released yesterday, many gamers expressed their dissatisfaction with some unique charging points in their opponents’ games. This emotion was still brewing.

Obviously, Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation reacted quickly. The new lucky draw event was to appease the players’ sincerity.

Qiao Liang read the announcement and rules of the lucky draw and could not help but feel emotional. “They’ve really invested a lot!”

At the moment, the lucky draw event had only released an announcement. It would officially start the next day, which was Saturday.

However, the specific rules were written clearly.

The prize pool this time covered a large number of precious skins in IOI. Many of the limited skins were even placed in the prize pool for players to draw.

More importantly, the prize pool this time did not only have virtual items but also some physical items!

For example, the latest POUIO cell phones, brandes computers, graphics cards, mouse, earphones, and so on.

All digital products that players might like were arranged here.

What was most eye-catching was the official announcement that there was a car in the entire prize pool!

It was not an expensive luxury car, only about 300,000 yuan. However, to ordinary gamers, that was enough to drive them crazy.

What’s more, the discount for the lucky draw this time was 70%. There was no limit to the number of times. It looked like he would not lose no matter how he drew. Instead, he would lose if he did not draw!

Of course, the probability of drawing the lucky draw must have been strictly calculated.

Game skins, especially rubbish skins, had a higher probability of being drawn. The rarer the skin, the lower the probability of being drawn.

Those digital products had lower probability than limited skins.

As for that car, there was only one in the entire prize pool. What’s more, it was not purely based on probability. At the very least, one had to spend more than a hundred thousand yuan in the entire lucky draw to get it. That was the basic condition.

To Long Yu Corporation, a car that cost more than three hundred thousand yuan was nothing. The key was that this car had to have enough publicity. It was best to give such things to ballers.

Of course, there were some relatively tasteless games companies that would play under-the-table operations in the event. On the surface, they prepared a lot of gifts, but in fact, they were all distributed to the company’s insiders.

In any case, there was no notarization or supervision for this lucky draw event. All they had to do was to organize an event to generate attention. As for the prizes, they would not allow them to be distributed to outsiders. At the same time, they could also distribute them as employee benefits.

One portion of the money would be used as two portions of the money. It was very worth it.

Of course, Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation did not do that. They were big companies after all, and they still cared about their reputation.

It was a critical period. It would be a huge scandal if he were to be found out. The loss outweighed the gain.

Thus, apart from adding some restrictions to the lucky draw to make it easier for ballers to win, the other areas were still very fair and just overall.

Even Qiao Liang, who had always been good at resisting temptation, felt a little itchy.

However, he felt that something was amiss just as he had the thought of charging money.

If it was only Finger Games’ lucky draw, he would definitely not have any other thoughts.

However, after experiencing the Fitness Battle’s lucky draw, Qiao Liang looked at Finger Games’ lucky draw and felt that something was amiss.

It was not that the prize pool was bad or that the discount was not high enough. It was just that he could not put his finger on it.

“Actually, Finger Games’ lucky draw event is a very common lucky draw event.”

“In all fairness, they have a conscience.”

“It’s just that there’s a huge difference between the lucky draw system of ‘Fitness Battle’ and the common lucky draw system. That’s why I think there’s a huge difference.”

“Speaking of which, why did ‘Fitness Battle’ create such a lucky draw system?”

Qiao Liang suddenly fell into deep thought.

The lucky draw system of Fitness Battle did not look complicated, but this design was definitely not made by an ordinary designer.

The reason was simple. This thing did not restrict players from refunding. Which designer had such authority?

Boss Pei had to personally decide on such a huge sum of money.

Boss Pei had personally designed a lucky draw system. The reason was worth investigating.

Was it to make a difference to the lucky draw system of other games?

Or was it to make the game more conscientious and win the players’ reputation so that it would have a thin profit and multiple sales effect?

It couldn’t be to earn less money, right?

These reasons did not seem sufficient.

Boss Pei probably would not spend so much effort designing games for a superficial reason like ‘making a difference to other games’.

Now that Tengda had so many projects, there must be a deeper meaning behind the projects that Boss Pei had personally decided on!

Qiao Liang thought for a long time but still had no clue.

“Let’s go online and take a look. There should be many people who have the same feeling as me.”

…

Qiao Liang easily found many discussions about the lucky draw.

Obviously, Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation came prepared. They must have spent a lot of money on publicity for this lucky draw. They must have hired fake reviewers.

It was rare for a car to be selected for an event organized by a game manufacturer. Coupled with the strong publicity, it spread among the players very quickly.

Many players expressed how fragrant it was!

Previously, everyone had criticized Finger Games for being stingy and not as generous as Tengda’s 515 Games Day. IOI’s mobile game had been scolded after being released, but to be fair, that was because they were being compared to Tengda.

Compared to other games companies, Finger Games’ event was already quite conscientious.

This time, Finger Games had also organized a lucky draw. Apart from skin extraction, they could also draw digital products and even cars. Many players who had complained before had lost their memories on the spot.

There were also people discussing the Fitness Battle’s lucky draw system, but not that many.

On one hand, it was because Tengda did not buy fake reviewers nor did they publicize it. On the other hand, they could only draw props from the game during the lucky draw. There were no physical items, so the popularity would be lower.

However, most of the players who participated in the discussion felt a deep sense of conscience.

There were many people showing off rare items on the forum. Almost everyone had refunded in the game. The only difference was how much they had refunded.

Some people had only intended to charge 200 to 300 yuan at first. However, they could not help but charge more than 2,000 yuan because they could refund as they pleased. In the end, they spent more than 400 yuan after refunding.

There were also people who calculated the probability of various props based on the charging records to see who passed the 0.8 passing line and who had the blackest faces.

The gamers had never been so interested in the gameplay of the lucky draw system.

Qiao Liang frowned slightly. “Could it be that… Boss Pei’s intention for creating this lucky draw system is not only to complete a game function, but also to use this unique lucky draw system to deconstruct the very popular ‘lucky draw’ gameplay?”
