My game, you have no right to award

Chapter 23 So terrifying

Mall?

Zhou Kuang was very surprised.

Since it’s a mall, there must be goods for sale, right?
Zhou Kuang searched in the system and saw the mall icon in a very conspicuous position.

The moment the thought of "wanting to go in" came into his mind, the mall appeared in front of him the next second.

A wide variety of goods were lined up in front of him, each with an icon and name, some were lit, some were dim, and there was a lock symbol in the lower right corner.

It must be an item that cannot be purchased.

Zhou Kuang saw a good thing that was shining at a glance.

【Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Shooting Feel Development Manual】

His eyes lit up instantly. No matter how Call of Duty was criticized, for example, it was criticized for forgetting its original intention and the campaign mode was a piece of shit, or it was criticized for being an annual series and releasing new games every year just to make money, but no one would dare to say that the shooting feel of Call of Duty was bad.

Because the shooting feel of Call of Duty compared to other shooting games can be summed up in one word.

Cool!
Shooting feel is not a single indicator, but a comprehensive indicator formed by adding up multiple aspects such as vision, hearing, and combat process.

In other words, if this item can really make his game have the shooting feel of Call of Duty, then it will optimize the game in many aspects.

Many shooting games cost a lot of money to produce, but they still can't match the feel of Call of Duty. After all, this is the exclusive secret code that they spent more than ten years to obtain.

Simply put, this is a tool that can master the core technology of the Call of Duty series!

And it is "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare", which is recognized as one of the best shooting games in the Call of Duty series.

Zhou Kuang couldn't wait to click it, and sure enough, a new interface appeared.

【Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Shooting Feel Development Manual】

[Introduction: This manual contains all the development details regarding the shooting feel of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare," including but not limited to: gun recoil curve, shooting feedback strength, crosshair shake amplitude, and more. Also, possessing this manual will passively improve the shooting feel of all first-person shooter game projects currently under development by the host.]

[Exchange price: 399999 points]

After seeing the introduction, Zhou Kuang was so in love with it. This prop not only has all the development details, but can also passively improve the feel of the FPS game he is developing!
But when he saw the price, it was like a bucket of cold water poured on his head.

Four hundred thousand points!

Just like some other businesses, they put a lot of 9s on the price, making people subconsciously think that it is cheaper.

He remembered that there were points among the things he had just received, but he didn't see clearly what they were.

Zhou Kuang turned and opened his backpack, and sure enough, there was a redemption voucher for 100 points.

【100 points redemption voucher】

[Introduction: Use this coupon to instantly receive 100 points, which can be used in the system mall.]

He thought about it and decided to use it immediately.

After use, the balance in the system also jumped from 0 to 100.

But it's still a long way from exchanging for the manual.

Zhou Kuang sighed. It seemed that such good stuff would not be available for purchase any time soon. He could only continue browsing the mall, drooling over the items.

He wanted almost every prop, but he couldn't afford any of them.

For example, he saw the "Open World Design Guide for "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild", "Quest System Design Manual for "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt", "Hero Balance Experience of "League of Legends", "Home Building System Design Guidelines of "Fallout 4", etc."

Each one of them was an item that he had been longing for but couldn't get. Unfortunately, even the cheapest one, the "Fallout 4 Home Building System Design Guidelines", cost more than points.

Any item in the mall with a well-known game in its name is incredibly expensive, even if it has nothing to do with the game's most famous advantages.

Suddenly, he saw an item with a prominent red sign "99% off" in the upper right corner.

Zhou Kuang understood the English. It meant a 99% discount, which is 0.1% of the original price, or % off.

Oh my god, what are we waiting for!
He quickly opened it.

Character Design Guidelines for "Star Wars"

Introduction: This guideline details the various standards for character design in "Star Wars," including but not limited to character body proportions, clothing styles, and facial expressions. Furthermore, possessing this guideline will passively improve the diversity, fairness, and inclusion content within all game projects currently under development.

【Original exchange price: 100 points】

【Discount redemption price: 1 point】

Zhou Kuang was so scared that his hands trembled. Fortunately, he relied on his brain to interact with the system, otherwise he would be doomed if he accidentally bought this thing.

How can this be considered a discount? This is pure malice from the system!
0.1% off?
Even if I gave this thing to him for free, he wouldn't want it!

The system gave him 10,000 points, but he still refused them! !

"Overwatch" was a hero shooting masterpiece produced by Sony's first-party studio, Firewalk Studio, which took eight years and cost $400 million to produce. It was sold for $40, but it was suddenly shut down after only two weeks on the market.

This game only sold 2.5 copies before it was removed from the shelves, including the console version. The peak number of online players on Steam was only 697, which is not as high as "The Lord of the Rings: Gollum".

After Sony shut down the game and removed it from the shelves, it directly announced a full refund for all players who had purchased the game.

This game is not only one of the most loss-making games in 2024, but also one of the most loss-making projects in the history of games. Even if the entire entertainment industry, including the film and television industry, is included, there is no project that can suffer such serious losses.

According to insiders in the project team, they spent $2023 million on production alone, not including marketing costs and the cost of Sony taking over and acquiring the studio in .

If you add all these costs in, the numbers rise to a terrifying level.

One of the main culprits behind the game's failure is the excessive amount of LGBTQ+ content, which is the correct content that is rampant in the Western gaming industry.

All the characters look weird. Some look like alien cans, some look like non-mainstream, and some look like moldy potatoes, but no one looks like the hero characters in the hero shooting game.

Summary in one sentence: Poet of Meiyi Pavilion.

Now this item actually claims that purchasing it will increase diversity, equity, and inclusion not only within the holder's game project, but also across all projects currently in development?!

Zhou Kuang quickly closed the page and returned to the mall page.

Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha.

He quickly recited it three times in his mind to get rid of the bad luck.
