"Our legend, can we adopt this forever free model?" Mr. Chen blurted out.

This sentence startled the vice president of operations, and hurriedly stopped: "Mr. Chen! Mr. Chen is calm! Our legend, the charging model has been operating for several years, if we change to the free model now, let's not talk about whether we can make money in the end, and the old players can scold us for collapse." ”

That's right, Legends is an old game, and many players have invested a lot of money and time in it over the years.

If you suddenly change to the free-to-play model, the old players will definitely be unbalanced.

Why did you just charge by the length of time when I used to play, and you made me so much money in a few years.

Now in order to compete with other games, they start to engage in free-to-play?

I'm going to Nima!

Of course, these players don't take into account that if they go for free, they won't have to spend money on cards in the future.

They will only recognize one thing, that is, they would rather not take advantage of themselves than let others take advantage!

It's best for everyone to die together!

Don't think it's incredible, in fact, many players are like this, and there have been many similar cases.

Mr. Chen was right when he thought about it, he was too anxious, the legend has always been able to make stable profits, and he made a lot of money.

Of course, you can't just change the charging model, if you don't do it well, it is equivalent to cutting down the company's cash cow, which is too unwise.

But......

In the future, if you will represent a new game, you can learn from Facebook Games.

Mr. Chen is also quite researched on the Internet, and he knows that the attraction of free for netizens is definitely very great!

Facebook Games' CSOL is absolutely stable this time......

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

Whether CSOL is stable or not, I don't know for the time being, because the game hasn't been launched yet.

Even if it is launched, it is uncertain how much money you can make by selling items such as skin boxes in the future.

But one thing that can be said is that the permanent free model of Facebook Games this time has definitely attracted everyone's attention.

On the Internet, everyone who plays games is discussing this matter.

Even people who have never played online games before can't help but participate in this discussion.

Because everyone is curious, does Facebook Games really want to provide an online game for everyone to play for free?

What are they trying to do?

"It's not April Fool's Day, is it?

"Is it because World of Warcraft is so profitable that Facebook Games is embarrassed, so it provides a game that doesn't cost money for everyone to play. ”

"Haha, it's really possible, Facebook Games is still a very conscientious company, World of Warcraft is too hot, they make money so softly. ”

"Don't think too much about it, I think it's true that it's free, but it's definitely impossible to really spend a penny without spending a penny. However, Facebook Games should be doing money this time, and it will make everyone pay willingly. ”

"I think upstairs is right.,Everyone read the announcement carefully.,It only says.,The game itself and the game duration are free.,Have you forgotten that this game has a lot of skins?Referring to last year's WCG bonus box.,I feel like they're going to make money by selling boxes!But it doesn't matter.,That thing depends on whether you're willing to pay for it.,If you don't want to buy it.,You can spend a penny at all.。 ”

Some netizens have guessed the truth of the matter, but his view of the problem is still too one-sided!

He thinks he can control himself without spending money, but reality will teach him to be a man. Many gamers, when playing a free game, think that they can control themselves and do not spend money. But when you put in more time and energy, you will always feel dwarf when you look at the bells and whistles of other players around you.

As long as you don't hold back and take the first step of kryptonite, the back will be completely out of control......

Effie and they dared to launch a permanent free model, of course, all factors have been considered, it is not an exaggeration to say that this set of models was specially taken to consult consumer psychology experts!

In view of the weakness of human nature, the "big pit" has been designed a long time ago, just waiting for you to jump in.

Of course, this kind of permanent free model has just emerged, and there may indeed be many consumers who can resist the temptation and hold on to not consuming at the beginning.

But it doesn't matter, Effie didn't think that CSOL would be like World of Warcraft, and they could make a lot of money online.

The two game modes are different, World of Warcraft is a billing system, and as many players as there are incomes, but the disadvantage of this model is that the threshold is relatively high, and many players may not be willing to spend money to play.

The threshold of CSOL is too low, and it can even be said that there is no threshold, as long as you want to play, as long as you have a computer, or you go to an Internet café to open a computer, you can play immediately. And it doesn't matter how long you play, it won't charge you.

Therefore, there is a ceiling on the number of players in World of Warcraft, and the number of players in China is estimated to be impossible to exceed 100 million, or even 50 million is a big hurdle.

There is no upper limit to CSOL, it turns out that all CS players should switch to this game, plus some new players, you can shout the phrase "the dream of 300 million mice" again!

At the beginning of the launch of CSOL, the most important thing is to make the number of players bigger, as long as it can attract players who originally played CS, even players who have not played FPS before, after the number of players reaches an exaggerated number, it will be difficult even if you don't want to make money!

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

When Yu Wenfei knew that Facebook Games was "forever free", he couldn't help but be stunned for a long time.

If he remembers correctly, this thing should have been made by Giant Games two or three years later, and the permanent free of "Journey" officially subverted the charging model of domestic online games. But the game "Journey" makes absolutely no less money than any paid mode game.

Since then, the domestic game industry has gone astray, and all kinds of cheating krypton games in the name of free have emerged in an endless stream, and the entire game industry has begun to be worse!

Everyone's thoughts, energy, and funds are all focused on the promotion of the game, rather than the quality of the game itself.

But now, the "forever free" model was actually launched by its own Facebook game......

The world is truly wonderful.

Effie and the others did this, and they really didn't discuss it with Yu Wenfei in advance, because there was no need to discuss such a small matter in front of Yu Wenfei.

For this kind of permanently free routine, Yu Wenfei can be said to know better than anyone else, because in the future, when mobile games are popular, the trick of cheating Krypton can be thrown off the game manufacturer's nine streets.

Of course, he also understands that if it is really about making money, CSOL adopts a permanent free model, which can indeed make more money, and Effie has done nothing wrong.

But......

The prelude to the "free model" of the game industry started by his own company is not very good to talk about in the future......

But it doesn't matter, in fact, for a game like CSOL, which is more competitive, it is definitely appropriate to use a free-to-play model. Because this kind of game, it still depends on your personal skills, as long as the skills are good, you can get an excellent game experience without spending a penny.

Even if you have money, you will only be able to start the game for a few seconds, and after meeting the "enemy", you will still be knocked down by others with a few shots.

Overall, the impact on the player's gaming experience is not significant.

If it's a role-playing game and a free-to-play model, it's a bad one.

Especially for some games, under the guise of discounting and free, the game store sells props that can affect the balance of the game, which is the real "black-hearted game manufacturer", and that model is the real "cheating Krypton".

Because you play that kind of game, if you really don't spend a penny, you can only be trampled and rubbed by krypton players, which is to force you to keep krypton gold in order to keep up with the combat power level of the large army.

Otherwise, the level and combat power will be much behind everyone, what are you still playing.

One of the things that Effie has done better is that the two online games of Facebook Games, including World of Warcraft and CSOL, charge krypton gold and do not affect the balance of the game.

In World of Warcraft, what you get when you open the box are cool costumes and mounts, without adding any combat power values. Everything that can affect combat power can only be obtained from game dungeons and monster farming, which is relatively fair.

As for CSOL, this game is completely only based on your marksmanship, no matter how expensive your skin is, it will not make your marksmanship more accurate, nor will it make your blood even a little more than others!

Moreover, in terms of the most basic game quality, the two games World of Warcraft and CSOL are definitely well-made and good games, which no one dares to hack with a clear conscience.

Therefore, it is conceivable that even if some players want to criticize Facebook Games in the future, it will not have much impact on the reputation of Facebook Games, and in essence, this is still a conscientious game company......

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

The impact of CSOL's announcement to adopt a permanent free model is even greater than Yu Wenfei imagined.

Because when he went online to World of Warcraft in the afternoon, Ah Jiudu talked to him about it.

"Uncle, are you going to run to play CSOL? World of Warcraft won't stop playing. ”

"Ah, maybe I'll play CSOL occasionally, World of Warcraft will still play normally, why do you ask?" Yu Wenfei asked with a little surprise.

"I see a lot of male players discussing it on the official World of Warcraft forums. There are many players who think that they are all online games, and CSOL is also very fun, why can that game be free, and World of Warcraft costs so much money every month. So everyone feels a little unfair, and I've seen a lot of people say that they want to form a team and quit the tour and go to play CSOL. Ah Jiu replied.

Yu Wenfei smiled slightly, not worried at all, no game can avoid the loss of players, the difference is just how much.
