Chapter 409: Free or Charged?

"Mr. Gao, Mr. Chen of Huanyu Technology will not be a pit for us, right? ”

"Cut, you're funny, he's taking the money to trick us?"

"Uh...... That's right. However, this and this, he pointed out to us a few days ago, does it imply that we are doing against Fantasy Journey to the West?"

"It's nothing, we asked that Fantasy Journey to the West is a turn-based game, and there is competition in itself. As for the other day...... Don't be surprised, this is what I admire most about Mr. Chen. ”

"Mr. Gao, what do you say?"

"Do you know the mechanics of horse racing?"

"I don't know. ”

"Let me tell you that the horse racing mechanism is an internal competition mechanism created by Huanyu Technology. At the earliest, it was implemented on the YY side, for example, a project, a normal company would be handed over to a team of the company to do, right? ”

"Yes, Mr. Gao, isn't it?"

"But Huanyu Technology is different, they leave it to two teams to do it. Whoever does it well is in charge of the project. Whoever does poorly, knocks out ......"

"I'll go, it's terrifying. ”

The members of the R&D department of Guangxia Technology gasped.

They thought to themselves that their skills were not bad, but if they really got to Huanyu Technology like this, the pressure would be extremely terrifying.

"Therefore, it is not without reason why YY can destroy QQ, and why Huanyu Technology's game is the first in the industry. Even if Mr. Chen personally instructed us, we may not be the opponents of the Fantasy Journey to the West. On the contrary, I have a hunch that our joining may also make the Fantasy Journey to the West to a higher level. ”

"Understood. ”

This said, everyone's admiration for Chen Yu deepened again.

If nothing else, just being able to create a horse racing mechanism internally is something that no one else can do.

You know, the horse racing mechanics look good, but it's a waste of money.

This basically says that a project costs twice as much, or even more.

"By the way, Mr. Gao, there is one thing we haven't decided, and if we don't decide now, we are afraid that we will not have enough time. ”

At this time, one of them suddenly asked.

Everyone knows what this is.

"What do you mean?"

Don't ask, Gao Shuhua naturally knows what is going on.

This thing is about the charging model of asking.

Before asking, they had a strong argument about the charging model.

First of all, they wanted to do it for free.

Because Fantasy Journey to the West charges, if they do it for free, they can quickly attract the attention of the market.

But on second thought, free seemed feasible, but they didn't have much experience with free games.

Although there are two games under Huanyu Technology that are free, whether it is Bubble Hall or Go-Kart, both of them are casual games. A pure RPG role-playing game, it still takes the road of charging.

"Why don't you ask Mr. Chen what he means?"

"Huh......"

Gao Shuhua also nodded.

Although Dao Dao and Fantasy Journey to the West are competitors, looking at Chen Yu's attitude, he still cares about them.

"Okay, I'll give Mr. Chen a call. ”

After thinking about it, Gao Shuhua called Chen Yu.

"Free or charged?"

After receiving a call from Gao Shuhua, Chen Yu was not surprised.

The last time he visited, he knew that Ask didn't seem to have fully decided on the game's charging model.

Of course, some people may think that the game has been completed 8 times, why hasn't it been decided yet?

Actually, this is perfectly normal.

The game charging model, whether it is paid or free, is actually the same as making a game.

He can make it free after he does it, or he can change it to a paid one after he does it.

It's nothing more than getting more game props out when it's free.

It doesn't take much time.

Even in previous lives, there were some game development companies that came up with two versions.

One is free and the other is charged.

Play free if you want, play free, play paid if you want.

"What do you think?"

Chen Yu asked.

"We don't have much experience, and we want to do it for free, but before that, on the one hand, it was to compete with Fantasy Journey to the West, and on the other hand, we also wanted to be opportunistic and use it to attract popularity. But if you really want to do it for free, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it......"

"In that case, I'll give you an analysis of these two patterns. ”

The previous life asked for free.

Although the question was also a great success with the free of charge.

But really, free does have an advantage over charging at the beginning.

But to really make money, it's still the fees.

Can you imagine how much you can earn on a single day with millions of people online at the same time, all for a fee.

Although there are many local tyrants who charge money for free, on average, it cannot be compared with the charges.

This, of course, is secondary.

The most important thing is that a game like RPG, once it is free, it will inevitably appear with all kinds of items that disrupt the balance of the game. Every time the game is updated, new equipment, new props, new babies, and new ways to play...... It's all about attracting players to top up their money. If you control it well, maybe you can still hold on to your game for a while, but if you don't control it well, it will affect the ecological balance of the entire game every minute.

In the previous life, the control of the RMB in the early stage was okay, but once it reached the later stage, it completely collapsed.

It's not that the strength of the main creative team is not good.

It's really free like this, and all kinds of equipment and props that ask for money are constantly innovating, and no matter how talented the creative team is, they can't hold it.

Strictly speaking, Chen Yu is inclined to charge.

Of course, Chen Yu tends to ask about the charge, which is also related to the current network environment.

In the previous life, asking for free was after Shanda fully launched the free strategy, and at that time, everyone had accepted the concept of free. At the same time, major game companies also have a set of more effective theories about free-to-play, at least, they understand that they can make money for free, and they can not particularly disrupt the balance of the game.

But if you ask for free now, he will be the first RPG online game to pioneer the free-to-play model.

Gao Shuhua is a genius Chen Yu doesn't know.

But what Chen Yu knows is that if they do it for free now, it will definitely not be as good as in their previous life.

Of course, there are drawbacks to the charge.

That is, it is more difficult to promote in the early stage.

And it also has to face a strong competitor, Fantasy Journey to the West.

But if a game really has a lot of ways to play, even if there is a strong competitor such as Fantasy Journey to the West, it can also make a name for itself.

It's like Journey to the West.

Although the Fantasy Journey to the West surpassed the Journey to the West.

But why are so many people still playing Big Talk?

It's not that they don't know about the Fantasy Journey to the West, but that Dahua also has their classic gameplay.

And these plays, these funs, are not found in dreams.

"That's it, as for free or charged, you can do it. ”

How to choose Supreme Shuhua, Chen Yu only gave advice. Don't help them make decisions. However, after listening to Chen Yu's suggestion, Gao Shuhua already had an answer:

"Brothers, I decided, we do the charges. ”

This is Gao Shuhua's decision.

This decision has changed the existing trajectory of "Ask", and also changed the future of [Guangxia Technology].
