I Developed The Zombie Apocalypse And Netizens Went Crazy With Excitement - Chapter 91
91 The Super VIP of Steam
As soon as he got home from Angelica’s place, Su Ping contacted the marketing manager of Steam, who was in charge of releasing new games.
The person had contacted Su Ping when Steam had tried to win him over. Since then, Su Ping has memorized his contact information.
He didn’t expect to use the string of numbers so soon.
“Hello, I’m Steam’s marketing manager. May I know who you are looking for?”
The call went through quickly. The other party asked about Su Ping’s identity politely.
!!
“I’m Su Ping!”
After Su Ping finished his words, he seemed to hear the marketing manager take a deep breath from the other end of the phone as if he was very shocked.
“Hello, are you still there?”
Su Ping was worried that something might have happened to him.
Fortunately, the marketing manager replied quickly. Otherwise, Su Ping would have to call an ambulance for him.
“Oh! It’s Mr. Su. Hello, of course, I’m here. May I know why you’re calling me today?”
“Do you want to join Steam officially? I can guarantee that all the conditions our platform has stated before are still in effect.”
“Also, as your recent games have become more influential, we will also provide you with more resources based on your influence!”
“I guarantee you will become the most famous game producer in the world. I will also maintain the independence of your game creation and will not interfere with your production!”
Apparently, the marketing manager had misunderstood Su Ping’s meaning. He thought Su Ping was calling to join Steam.
Su Ping chuckled and told them his purpose.
“You’ve misunderstood me. I called you today mainly to discuss the release of my new game with your platform.”
“Didn’t you watch Angelica’s live stream yesterday morning?”
The marketing manager said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Mr. Su. Can you tell me what happened in her live stream?”
Su Ping explained patiently.
“It’s like this. I’ve made a new game called World War Z. If you log into the forum now, you should be able to see its name at the top of the search list.”
“I promised the players in the live stream yesterday that I’ll release the game on your platform within a week, so I wanted to contact you in advance today to discuss the matter.”
“Do you have time now?”
The marketing manager on the other end of the phone was so happy that he almost fainted after he heard Su Ping’s words.
He didn’t expect such a good thing to fall from the sky so early in the morning.
Su Ping’s new game!
It was an excellent thing for Steam!
The marketing manager remembered the president’s order at the recent internal meeting.
Steam had to pay the most attention to Su Ping!
Steam must complete anything related to Su Ping with the highest priority!
Besides, no matter what Su Ping’s request was, Steam could not deny it. No matter how unreasonable the request was, Steam had to respect Su Ping!
Obviously, Su Ping had a high status in Steam!
“Oh! Of course, I have time. Should we discuss the matter face to face or through video call?”
“I’m fine with anything here. No matter your request, it won’t be a problem!”
Su Ping thought about it and decided to discuss it with Steam through video calls.
At 2 p.m., Su Ping entered a link to a meeting sent by the marketing manager.
Meanwhile, the marketing manager was among many in the video call. There were a few people who looked like management personnel of Steam. They were dressed in suits and leather shoes, which seemed they highly regarded the video call.
After exchanging opinions and negotiations, Su Ping finished discussing all the cooperation projects with Steam in less than an hour.
In the end, they reached a result that satisfied both parties.
“Mr. Su, don’t worry. Our platform will develop a perfect plan to promote World War Z within two days.”
“You just need to send me the game’s installation package as soon as possible. The professionals of Steam will complete all the follow-up work!”
“If you’re unsatisfied with the game’s price or other services, you can also express your opinions at any time. We’ll change it at any time!”
“Of course, if you are interested in joining Steam, the previous invitation still counts. We sincerely invite you to join our platform at any time!”
Of course, Su Ping wouldn’t turn down the marketing manager’s flattery so easily. The most he could do was reply that he would consider it.
As for whether or not he was going to join Steam, Su Ping had never thought about it.
Su Ping had planned to be an independent game producer from the very beginning, and he was well aware of that.
No matter how much Steam exaggerated the benefits in front of him, no matter how much assurance they made…
If he joined them, Steam would unavoidably restrict and interfere with his future work as soon as he signed the contract.
The so-called delegation of power and maintaining a certain degree of independence?
What was it like to be in front of a big company like Steam?
There was also the risk of the system being leaked. Su Ping would never do something like that!
Su Ping never wanted to rely on them, be it the game development company, the world’s largest social media app, or a video-sharing website.
As long as the game was entertaining, he didn’t need to worry about players not downloading and buying it.
That night, Su Ping told Angelica the good news in advance.
Su Ping logged into his Facebook account, which he hadn’t been on for a long time. Su Ping rarely posted anything there, but the number of fans on his account had exceeded 30 million!
Even though there were fans from all over the world, the number was still very terrifying.
Su Ping soon came up with a post titled, “I have completed negotiations with Steam, and World War Z will be available for download as soon as possible!”
Su Ping looked at the draft he had written satisfactorily and clicked send.
Less than a second after posting, Su Ping saw the number of private messages on the upper right corner of his screen increase rapidly.
The number of likes on the post also soared like a rocket.
Su Ping was startled.
“Gosh! Do these people have nothing to do?”
