After the version update in the evening, Shanda Chen's speculation was verified.

This pass is indeed for money!

In order to promote this battle pass, Effie really did everything.

In many places where it doesn't affect the balance of the game, there is a very clear distinction between paid Battle Pass players and free Battle Pass players!

For example, if you play a game for so long every day, but pay players will be a cut above the level of the free season, and they will get a lot more rewards, and they will even give them some free skin boxes to open.

If you're lucky, you'll be able to get dozens or even hundreds of rare skins out of the box!

Even if you plan to show off a screenshot on your Facebook page, others will be able to tell if you're a paying player or not, because the background of the player character is different!

Moreover, on the various forum sites where CSOL players gather, many players are already posting to show off their purchased battle passes.

"This battle pass is still very conscientious, as long as you spend 36 yuan, you can get a lot of good things. It's a lot of bargain compared to opening the box!"

"It's true that you may not be able to open anything for a few dozen dollars, but this pass will definitely get an out-of-print suit. It's equivalent to spending 36 yuan to buy something worth one or two hundred, and I have a conscience, I will buy it!"

"Must buy +1, I used to feel that it was not cost-effective to open the box, and I have always been unlucky, afraid that I won't be able to open anything. But now the pass is completely different, so you can buy it with confidence. ”

These basically support the launch of the battle pass by Facebook Games, of course, there are also netizens who have different opinions.

"Are you all stupid? Spend more than thirty dollars just to buy a few skins? What is it bad to do with this money? ”

"Since playing the game, in addition to the Internet fee, I have always been a prostitute! CSOL has been playing since the opening of the server, and I haven't spent a penny, and now it's not a diamond. Why do you have to spend money to buy this pass, it's a lot of money! I feel that the people who buy the pass are all in the water. ”

These are the staunch white prostitutes, and they are not willing to spend a penny on playing games. Not only do they not spend money, but they are often complacent about their own prostitution, and they ridicule paying players at every turn, thinking that others are fools who have spent unjustly money, and it is smart to do it themselves.

In the past, there were many such players in the forum, and when they said these words, there were no players who scolded him, after all, whether to spend money or not is his own business, each has its own way of playing, and there is no need to quarrel because of this.

But this time, the wind seems to be a little wrong, and the statements of the white prostitutes' party were quickly refuted and even ridiculed by many paying players!

"Haha, it's not your fault that you're poor, but it's your fault to be poor and shameless. If everyone doesn't spend a penny, will the company survive?

"If you're poor, don't play games, kid, go study and work. You can't even afford a pass, and you're wasting your life playing the game. ”

"It's the existence of this garbage, and the domestic stand-alone game industry is harmed by them. Game companies invest a lot of money and labor costs, and they buy pirated versions of the games they develop, which leads to the collapse of the game company. Well, now, domestic stand-alone games have disappeared directly, and no game companies have to develop new games, and everyone has nothing to play. I hope you garbage get out of the game!"

"Yes, let these white prostitutes get out of the game!"

"Support, this garbage is really disgusting people, I've had enough of them for a long time, it's poor and bad!"

On the Internet, a wave of condemnation against white prostitution players was unconsciously set off, and these people were driven out of the game circle.

On Facebook, there are also many game Vs who have also made their own voices on this situation, of course, they all believe that it is reasonable and appropriate to pay to support the game appropriately.

Because games are also entertainment, they are also entertainment, going to the cinema to watch movies, going to KTV to sing, or going to play billiards, skating, etc., all have to pay money, do you dare to go to prostitution?

It's also fun, so why can't you pay for the game, not to mention that the game company also spends a huge amount of money in order to provide a game that satisfies players.

Not to mention, CSOL's monthly expenses on servers and bandwidth are staggering.

From the launch of the service to the present, it is said that CSOL's income is not enough to pay for bandwidth, but Facebook Games has not said anything, nor has it reduced any operating expenses, but continues to open new areas to provide players with a better gaming experience.

Such a conscientious game company, I feel sorry for it if I don't support it!

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

Of course, there is a promoter of Facebook Games behind this hot discussion on the Internet, otherwise, the situation would not be so one-sided.

When it comes to leading public opinion, Effie is certainly a veteran.

She grasped two points this time, one is that Facebook Games is a conscientious company, and if the situation allows, try to support it.

The second is that white prostitution is shameful, and the existence of the white prostitution party is to harm the entire game industry and let the white prostitution party get out of the game circle!

Especially the second point, once it is recognized by everyone, those players who don't spend a penny in the future will feel unable to raise their heads in the game.

Just like when you play a game, your friends around you are all krypton players, and you don't spend a penny, and you can't interject when everyone chats, and you are weak when others look at you, wondering if others are laughing at me.

And that's what Effie wants to achieve!

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

Did Facebook Games or Effie do it wrong this time?

Of course not, if you think about it from the perspective of Facebook Games, there is no problem at all in encouraging players to pay.

Developing a game requires a huge amount of capital investment, and operating a game also requires a huge amount of money to support, just purchasing servers and spending on bandwidth every month, that amount can scare many people.

If players don't pay for it, the game really won't be able to run for a long time.

Even if Facebook Games has a lot of money and can pay money to maintain the normal operation of the game in a short period of time, in the long run, for the business that the company cannot produce benefits, it is an invalid business and will be cut!

At that point, many of the gamer's favorite games were closed, and everyone could no longer play them.

This kind of result is probably what no one wants to see.

So are the prostitution players wrong?

Maybe they're not wrong.

Since Facebook Games advertises and adopts a free-forever model, players have the right to choose not to spend money on prostitution.

This is also the player's power.

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

Everyone is not wrong, but Facebook Games wants to make money and take money out of the pockets of players, so everyone has to gamble.

In this contest, it can be said that whoever controls the direction of public opinion and who dominates the ideas of the majority of the people will win.

In this regard, players are naturally nothing more than competing with Facebook games.

Facebook Games is the capital side, everything is planned and organized, and it has the "big killer" in the direction of Facebook, the dominant topic!

The players are loose and have their own ideas, including supporters of Facebook games.

Effie should be grateful to Yu Wenfei for creating such a perfect public opinion platform on Facebook since the beginning of his business.

Since ancient times, only those who can control the public opinion platform can win the hearts and minds of the people.

Under the leadership of some opinion Vs, it is easy to affect the psychology of most people and form an absolute crushing advantage.

Most ordinary people have their own thoughts and are easily influenced by others.

This is once again a reflection of this......

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

In the Internet café next to the university town of a provincial capital, it is night time, and it is also the busiest time for the Internet café.

The night is about to start, and the Internet café is full of male college students.

After a day's sleep, now that I've eaten and drunk enough, it's time to start a whole night of "fighting".

There are only two games that are the most popular during this time, and that is CSOL and World of Warcraft!

In an Internet café, if you have ten computers, then seven of them have CSOL on their screens, and the remaining three have World of Warcraft.

As for other games, it's hard to see.

There is no way, these two games are also the hottest and most player games in recent times.

"Haha, brothers, I've been saving up for a few days. I only ate steamed buns and pickles for dinner, and finally saved enough money to buy the battle pass! Wait for everyone to take me, I'm going to complete all the tasks for the week tonight! So you can get an M4 skin, this skin is so beautiful, I've wanted it for a long time. ”

A boy excitedly said to his friends.

"Hey, you can do it, you're really willing! This pass costs thirty-six each, which is not cheap. A boy next to him said with envy in his tone.

"That's a must, I bought it too, didn't you find it, now you don't have a pass, you're embarrassed to discuss CSOL with people on the Internet! Another boy said with emotion.

That's right, now players who don't pay for it have been called "white garbage......

I don't know who said this word first, but everyone says it now.

This kind of word is very demeaning, and those players who don't pay for it feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable when they hear it. But there is no way to refute it, who makes himself not spend a penny, and when others scold him, he has no confidence to resist......

Similar scenes have taken place in Internet cafes and university campuses across the country.

And the payment rate of CSOL has begun to soar in the past few days......
