第1章 我想亏钱

I want to lose money

[Game Development] [System] [Anti-Trope]

Exclusive Interview

Reporter: “President Mei, your latest game has once again gone explosively viral. Could you share with us the original inspiration behind making this game?”

Mei Caiyi, wearing a pained expression: “You might not believe this, but I actually have a system—every time the company loses money, I personally make a huge profit. So, the whole reason I made this game was to lose money. Same with the last one. And the one before that. All of them.”

Reporter: “Hahaha! President Mei, you’re truly hilarious. I understand now—you’re not in this for the money. You’re just sincerely making heartfelt, high-quality games for the players.”

He really wanted to say: “Understand my ass.”

How was he supposed to know all those games would blow up?

Now they call him things like “visionary,” “marketing genius,” “game development prodigy”—as if they weren’t just slandering him!

“Arbitrary Town”—a construction game with no gameplay, just mindless clicking.

“TombForce”—the protagonist is male, and all the enemies have bizarre, ridiculous designs.

“Cry”—deliberately made to provoke flame wars.

“Conscience-Free Game Platform”—created solely to deter people from registering.

“Escape”—designed to scare players so badly they wouldn’t want to buy it.

…He’s even gone online more than once begging for help: “Willing to pay handsomely for a large-scale, logically sound game idea that’s guaranteed to lose a ton of money!”

【游戏制作】【系统】【反套路】
专访记者“梅总，您最新制作的这一款游戏又又又又爆火了，请问您制作这款游戏的初衷是什么。”
梅采艺带着痛苦面具，“说起来你可能不信，我其实有个系统，公司亏钱我就能赚大钱。所以这款游戏的初衷就是为了亏钱，上一款也是，之前的都是。”
“哈哈哈哈，梅总真的风趣呀。我懂的，不为挣钱，真心只为玩家制作良心、完美的游戏。”
“……”
他真的想说你懂个锤。
……
我怎么知道这些游戏都火了啊，“远见卓识”、“销售鬼才”、“天才制作”他们在用这些称呼诽谤我！
《随意城镇》，一款没有玩法，只能无聊点击鼠标的建造游戏。
《古墓力影》，主角是男性，敌人都是奇葩造型。
《鸣》，为的就是引战。
《昧心游戏平台》，纯粹不想吸引玩家注册。
《逃生》，纯粹想吓得玩家不买。
……
他甚至不止一次在网上求助，重金求一个大制作且合理能亏大钱的游戏题材！
