Chapter 1016: The Profit of Online Games
Little Brother felt his hands tremble a little. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this moment, Brother Pony is not bombarding in the mud, but has returned to a large eastern country.
Because at this time, a game is about to be in open beta.
It's not the bubble hall before, but the "Stone Age" that has been bounced for four months.
There are four games that are being developed on Little Pony's side: Stone Age, Bubble Hall, Go-Kart and Magic Baby.
Among them, the goal of the first two games is to give a playable version by July this year, but because of this and that problem, they ended up jumping tickets for four months in a row, which was only done after Brother Pony made up his mind and transferred all the development members of Magic Baby to the Stone Age.
And now, the product has finally begun to be tested.
However, on the side of a large eastern country, in just a few days of testing, they have ushered in tens of thousands of players, and the number of new players added every day is also rubbing up.
"This, how much revenue is this week, do you say it again?" Xiao Ma reconfirmed to his friends.
"Three million ......"
Three million, a week's income, and that's because they're in open beta, and the number of people who know the game isn't very many.
"This is going for hundreds of millions, three million a week, twelve million a month, and more than one hundred million ...... a year."
One of the friends was muttering incredulously.
"Not only that, but the number of people is still increasing, and there will be more......"
The other person was also amazed.
Brother Xiao Ma took a deep breath, and even he didn't expect that the game on his side would be able to cause such a big response......
Although the server Alexander makes everyone on the Penguin Company nervous, to be honest, if you can be so tense every day, it is actually a very happy thing.
"Online games are really interesting. Little Brother Ma was also muttering.
The two games "Stone Age" and "Bubble Hall" are not only on PC, but also on the DC platform, but the situation overseas does not seem to be very good.
So before the Stone Age was launched on the side of a large eastern country, Xiao Ma was not even in the mood to look forward to it.
But what Xiao Ma never expected was that the market performance of this game would be so strong.
Stone Age is definitely a good game, and Pony can't say that everyone has used it, but at least he made it with all his heart.
And now, their struggle has finally paid off.
"The market performance of stand-alone games is so poor, I didn't expect online games to be so good......"
Xiao Zhang, one of the leaders of the Penguin Empire in another world line, also sighed.
"Well, the Internet is really powerful...... However, it should also be said that it is because of "Hero's Tracks" paving the way ahead. ”
The Stone Age is a time-paid game, so point cards are required.
But the matter of selling point cards is not so easy to do.
However, Senxia has a foresight here, and when "Hero's Track" was launched, he began to lay out relevant channels, and so far, "Stone Age" point cards can also be purchased in various Internet cafes.
In fact, Brother Pony also discussed at the beginning to connect the points of the hero's trajectory with the points of the Stone Age, so that the two are universal. This approach is somewhat similar to Blizzard's Battlenet Count Points.
However, after thinking about it for a while, Sen Xia and Xiao Ma decided not to do it for the time being, and then consider this issue when they are on the right track.
But at this time, Brother Xiao Ma found that his previous ideas were really too conservative.
Although the popularity was good when it was advertised before, after it was really launched, I really didn't expect such a hot popularity.
If you had added a campaign and then increased the number of users, the data would have looked even better.
"Don't panic, we are not a listed company, and a little bit of data in the early stage doesn't really matter much. "Brother Pony is still quite calm.
Making data and earnings reports look better is a good way for listed companies to boost stock prices and boost shareholder confidence, but those capital games are not so important for a company that has not yet been listed.
Eh...... I suddenly felt that it would be nice if I could go public on my side!
Brother Xiao Ma suddenly felt that if he could be listed on the IPO, then now, his company would definitely be able to drive the stock price and make a profit.
But it's a pity that going public isn't so easy, and Sen Xia doesn't care much about going public, he doesn't seem to be in a hurry to go public immediately.
But going public can make a lot of money, this kind of thing is for sure.
"Now, let's get the game up and running first. ”
The game itself is still the most important, and how much money you can make depends on the quality of the game itself.
Needless to say, cracking down on cheats and scripts and the like, it's a must, and as for other aspects, that's not to mention.
"By the way, hurry up and call Senxia!"
With such good news, I must have to tell Senxia over there.
"Online games are really a good thing, it's more profitable than stand-alone, and there is no way to play pirated versions of this kind of game, it's really good......"
Brother Pony remembers that Senxia once said that other games would be transformed into online games?
Well, if you think about it this way, it's really interesting, to make it a fairy sword OL, a Xuanyuan sword OL, a Yanlong knight OL...... Is it possible to make more money in this way?
Brother Pony has some feelings of going crazy with online games, and all he thinks about now is transforming those stand-alone games into OL games, so it seems to be much better than a simple stand-alone game!
The more Brother Pony thought about it, the more he felt that there was a play.
Yes, a game like Fairy Sword, which is an absolutely well-known game in China, if such a game can enter the Internet, it seems to be good?
What's more, the game of Sword and Fairy is Daewoo's, and Daewoo is now on Animic's side, just like Penguin, and the coordination between copyrights is more important than the cooperation between two companies.
But I just don't know if Daewoo is willing to cooperate, and if they want to develop it themselves, it's hard to say.
Want to play your own online game?
Little Brother Ma suddenly had such an idea.
And at this time, the call was connected.
"Moxi Moxi, this is the Tianhai family. "There was a nice female voice over there.
"Hello Miss Xiyan, I'm a pony, I'm looking for Senxia. "Brother Xiao Ma also knows that Sen Xia has recently had a maid by his side, and he looks pretty good, but it's a pity that Brother Xiao Ma and the other party only have a one-sided relationship, he has been busy with online games in a big eastern country recently, and he hasn't been to the mud bomb for a while.
"Hi. Xiyan quickly handed over the phone to Mori Xia.
"Whew...... Little Pony. "Over there, Mori Xia seems to have just finished exercising, and he seems to be still panting.
"Senxia, let's be a fairy sword OL!"
Brother Xiao Ma was happy in his heart, and then he said the wrong thing in his mouth.
“...... Huh?" Mori Xia over there looked confused.
"- Oh no, I mean, Stone Age things ......"
Because I've been thinking about making a fairy sword OL or something just now.,So I accidentally said the wrong thing.、6
After listening to Brother Xiaoma's report, Sen Xia over there hung up the phone.
“...... How ...... is the estimated revenue of 100 million" Senxia thought of the Stone Age, another world line, and the profit in the first year of the Stone Age was 200 million, far exceeding Senxia's side.
However, the game on Senxia's side is earlier than the other world line, so it's understandable to encounter this situation.
So Mori Xia is actually quite satisfied.
"If you can really make that much, then the funds here will be ......"
Mori Xia has actually been paying attention to this aspect of things, but Sen Xia is paying attention to his colleagues here, and he is still busy with things related to Dark Souls, so there is no way to invest in new things.
But Brother Pony's side is also reliable, and Sen Xia will leave the matter to him.
"But the fairy sword OL ......"
How did Little Brother Ma come up with this?
But in any case, Senxia is not very opposed to this idea.
Fairy sword OL or something, in fact, you can also have it.
Sword and Fairy OL also exists on another world line, but unfortunately, the quality of the game itself is not very good.
Sen Xia was a krypton gold player of Fairy Sword OL back then, and then he was pitted to death by this game......
And the game itself, in the end, was also half-dead and became the tears of the times.
"Then again, this can be regarded as a scum rescue plan......"
Sen Xia suddenly thought, can he also save the fairy sword OL or something?
Well, the plot has to be overhauled first, and the subsequent parts have to be revised......
Forget it, it's too early to say this, let's save this matter for later.
As for the current words......
"There is nothing wrong here in the Stone Age, and it is quite popular in a large eastern country......
The Stone Age game is not popular on the mud bombardment side, although there are players playing it, but the number is very small.
Daddy Qianjia also investigated the operation of the Stone Age, and when he found out that the two countries were so different, his jaw almost dropped.
"So now, it's a matter of DC......"
Qianjia's father seems to be really pushing this matter, and Mori Xia is ready to start contacting, if there is no problem, the whole thing should be able to come out before the PS2 goes on sale.
Senxia feels that Sega in this world still has some potential, otherwise, he would not force PS2 to develop in advance, and then launch it nearly a year in advance, DC is not as unbearable as Senxia himself said.
"Now that you've boosted the confidence of players and manufacturers, it's time for the game – so the next step should be E3......"
Yes, although it is only the beginning of November, Mori Xia thinks about next year's E3, because Animic will also go to E3 next year, and next year, Mori Xia's side will encounter the strongest enemy - Hideo Kojima and his Metal Gear Solid 2.
......
When I wrote this, it suddenly occurred to me that it was a pity that I would never see Hideo Kojima and his metal slugs again......
3K sufficient.
