Players all over the network are amazed by the various novel features and intimate experience of Facebook's official website, and when companies across the industry are shocked by the sky-defying results achieved by Facebook Battle.net in one day after its launch, Tencent's game platform, which should also be one of the protagonists, has no one paying attention.

"How are the results? Have the users exceeded 5 million?" Before getting off work in the afternoon, Brother Xiao Ma came to the game platform project department.

"Almost ......" The face of the person in charge of the project department is not very good-looking.

"How much worse is it? But I've heard that the number of people online at the same time on Facebook Battle.com is over 10 million! The number of registered users is less than 5 million?"

"It's a million ......"

Brother Xiaoma's heart suddenly cooled by half, the number of four million registered users, this number is placed in other new startups, maybe the boss will jump up with joy.

But they are Tencent, and QQ has nearly 200 million users!

Before the game platform was launched, it was specially given several pop-ups on QQ, and the promotion was definitely in place, but the result was only 4 million user registrations.

Tencent's game platform is also bound to a QQ account, as long as the user uses his or her own QQ account password, he can log in, and the friend list can be directly transferred.

This function can be regarded as borrowing from Facebook, but this cannot be said to be plagiarism, after all, similar functions, Facebook is not original, and it has not applied for a patent.

After so much preparatory work and a well-built game platform, the whole company has high hopes, and the results achieved now are indeed not satisfactory to Brother Xiaoma.

Especially, in front of the 11 million concurrent online people that exploded on Facebook Battle.net......

"How many people are online now?" Xiao Ma continued to ask.

"Hmm...... , more than 900,000. The technical manager wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied a little weakly.

This is already a very good result, and after so many years of operation by Lianzhong and Winger, the number of online users has not reached this number recently.

Of course, it's still the same sentence, everything is afraid of comparison.

They are all game platforms, they are all launched today, and others are 11 million online, and you are less than 1 million, how can you not be empty-minded.

Brother Xiao Ma sighed and didn't say anything, he also knew that everyone did their best.

The current results are not bad, they are just not good enough.

It's not that everyone doesn't work hard, it's that the opponent is too strong.

............

The launch of Facebook Battle.com, in a sense, can be said to have subverted the domestic game model.

Through the division of points and ranks, it networked stand-alone games, took out the most attractive "upgrade system" in online games, made them into platform functions, and then applied them to high-quality stand-alone games.

Don't look at it as a simple "functional port", the effect is surprisingly good.

In fact, in terms of game quality, online games like Legend are compared with CS, Dark, Warcraft and other stand-alone boutiques!

Not to mention 2003, even more than ten years later, the real high-quality 3A masterpieces are all stand-alone games.

The reason why online games are attractive is that they rely on a well-designed upgrade system, and even introduce psychology, using players' vanity and comparison to induce players to indulge in them.

And this qualifying match of Facebook Battle.net, this division of ranks, is actually designed according to that set.

However, the conscience of Facebook Battle.net is that it does not cheat Krypton, as long as you spend a little money to buy a genuine game at one time, you can play it on Battle.net in the future, and you don't have to pay in the future. This is too conscientious.

When making products, there is a "way" to return to the basics, that is, as long as the quality of the products you take out exceeds the expectations of potential customers, then the enthusiasm of customers to feedback to you will also exceed your expectations.

After the launch of Facebook Battle.net, this is fully proven.

It brings an unprecedented gaming experience to the majority of players, and what everyone brings to it is the number of online users that is eye-catching!

Because of the limited fact that Facebook Battle.net only allows genuine gamers to log in, today's tens of millions of online players have not yet tapped its true potential.

Many users and Internet cafes have not had time to buy genuine software.

With the word of mouth from players, the games that Facebook Games just acquired were sold out of stock!

............

In Hanzhong City, Xiao Wu is the manager of the local Lianbang software store, and the store he manages is located in a university town.

Selling genuine software, the usual business can be imagined, often do not come in so many customers a day.

The main business is generally procurement from various units, with retail accounting for only a small part.

So in this store, there are only two staff members, Xiao Wu is the store manager, and there is also a clerk, and the two work in shifts.

On May Day, Xiao Wu took shifts.

At ten o'clock in the morning, he leisurely came to the store, cleaned up slowly, sat down to turn on the computer, and prepared to play the game.

He's recently been hooked on Miracle, an online game that just hit the market a year later, with graphics that look much more polished than legendary, and the game is on the rise.

"Boss, do you sell CS CDs here?"

was fighting monsters and escalating, when suddenly a loud voice sounded, which scared Xiao Wu into a tremble.

"What? What CS?" Xiao Wu looked up and asked in a daze.

"CS! You don't even know CS?" asked a tall boy with wide eyes, as if Xiao Wu didn't know that CS was a very incredible thing.

"What's the Chinese name?" Xiao Wu really didn't know what CS was.

The boy stretched out his head and glanced at the computer that Xiao Wu was playing on, and there was a miracle on the screen, a pair of big wings flickering behind Xiao Wu's character.

"Oh, you're playing online games, no wonder you don't even know CS. The tall boy's face was full of relentlessness.

Xiao Wu felt offended!

What is it called to play online games, what is strange, is it inferior to those who play online games?

However, after all, he opened a store to do business, and he couldn't be more serious with customers, so he endured his anger and asked: "What is the Chinese name of CS?"

"Called...... Yes, it's called Half-Life!...... Counter-Strike?" the boy thought for a moment before replying uncertainly.

This is normal, many players who play CS don't know what the full name of this game is, they just shout CS.

Hearing Half-Life and Counter-Strike, Xiao Wu understood.

He glanced back and forth at the counter and reached out to a corner in the distance, "Yes, that is." ”

The boy's eyes lit up, he walked over, stretched out his head and looked at it, "That's it! Get me one, how much?"

Xiao Wu took out the carton containing the game, checked it on the computer, and replied: "Thirty-six, you are quite in time, it was sold for sixty-eight a few days ago, and the price has just been reduced." ”

The boy was overjoyed, originally in order to buy this game, he borrowed twenty yuan from his classmates before he came, he thought it would cost seventy or eighty yuan, but it turned out to be only thirty-six!

"Then get me another one! I'll bring one back for my friend." He said boldly.

The boy left with two CDs, and Xiao Wu just sat down, ready to continue playing his miracle.

Someone came again, "Boss, do you have CS? Get me one!"

Now Xiao Wu has experience, and he said without raising his head: "Yes, thirty-six!"

......

In this way, after a morning, Xiao Wu basically had little time to play his miracle, because the customers kept coming in.

The game that everyone must buy is CS, and many people buy Warcraft, Diablo, and StarCraft.

This made Xiao Wu very surprised.

Because in his store, these genuine games are the hardest to sell!

EVEN THE OUTRAGEOUSLY EXPENSIVE WINDOWS SYSTEM AND OFFICE SOFTWARE SUITE ARE BETTER THAN THESE GENUINE GAMES.

Because of the system and office software, there are also many units to purchase, who will buy this genuine game.

It's ridiculous to say, just outside his store, there are often a few vendors setting up stalls on the side of the road, selling all pirated game discs!

What's going on today?

I don't buy a game disc with five dollars outside, and I come to support the genuine version one by one?

............

This question is also shared by the vendors who sell pirated discs at Lianbang Software Gate.

Usually, their business is still good, because they are close to the university, and many college students know that there are pirated discs for sale here, so they come here to buy games and movie discs.

As for the Lianbang software next to it, no one entered at all.

But today, one by one, the college students in a hurry, all entered the Lianbang software store without looking back, and when they came out, they all held a two-copy game disc in their hands.

A peddler couldn't help it, he called out to a student who had just come out of the Lianbang software store and asked, "Hey, big brother, I want to ask you." You're here to buy a genuine game, but have any new games been on the market recently?"

The college student replied with a smile: "It's a genuine game, but it's not a new game, CS." ”

The business of selling pirated discs is obviously much more familiar than that of store manager Xiao Wu.,Originally, the game CS was the best-selling game disc.,Of course he knows what kind of game this is.。

"No, I sell this game for five dollars, and the store sells it for sixty-eight!" he said with wide eyes.

"No, now the price has been reduced, and it's only thirty-six. The student raised the disc in his hand and said triumphantly.

"That's several times more expensive than mine, so why don't you buy pirated copies?" asked the peddler, puzzled.

"If you buy a genuine one, you can get it on Facebook Battle.net, but you can't get this pirated disc on Battle.net. ”

"What kind of face, what kind of net?" the peddler couldn't understand at this moment.

"Hehe,Let's just say that.,No one will buy pirated CS CDs in the future.,I advise you.,Don't enter this game.。 With that, the college student hurried away.

............

The same scene, on this day, is being played out in major cities across the country.

All the players are asking which Internet café can log in to Battle.net, and those who own computers are looking around where to buy genuine game CDs.

The genuine game, which has been unsold for a long time, became a bestseller on May 1st!
