At this time, it was 09 years, and the RTS type of game had not died out. Many RTS-based games often require a specific platform to be able to play online.

Although so far, there is no multiplayer mode for the game on the Dream platform, unless it is a local multiplayer mode, players in different cities still cannot be online, but what about the future?

Many RTS-type games, the most important of which is the pure PVP mode.

That is, multiplayer mode.

RTS games with multiplayer mode, and RTS games without multiplayer mode, these are two completely different games.

A week later, the Dream platform began to gradually roll out new features.

Approximate rate, updated once a month.

And after a changelog that was "inadvertently" exposed, it attracted the attention of many players!

Like what......

After the local multiplayer online mode, Dream capped a feature called view.

It can be done by turning the game into a default chart, and then the player can customize the game cover.

In other words, you can completely customize it to the way you imagine it.

This is another feature that Steam will launch in the future, but it doesn't have at this time.

The continuous improvement of the Dream platform has also made many people like to use this stage.

Another news that stimulates domestic players is that as of the first month, "Demon's Souls" has sold a total of 1.3 million units on Nintendo's platform!

According to the price of the physical pack of 119, it is 154.7 million.

This price is ......

Didn't pay back.

However, this achievement is already rare for a newcomer company.

After all, the total cost of the entire "Demon's Souls" is only $20 million.

It is a small loss.

However, such results have stimulated the enthusiasm of domestic players.

First of all, this enhanced version of "Demon's Souls" has sold a total of 300,000 copies by the end of the first month after getting through the initial difficulties.

According to the game price of 100 yuan red banknotes, it is 30 million red banknotes.

It makes up for the cost of landing on the Nintendo platform.

Although the overall cost has not been paid off, it is still a very good result.

Secondly, it is "The Legend of the Ancient Sword".

Because the core of the story of this game itself belongs to the well-known domestic Xianxia game, it exceeded 300,000 sets in the first week.

After all, the sense of substitution is the same in every country.

You can't expect that in Huaxia, the audience of a magic-themed work is compared with an ancient fairy.

According to the cost of 30 million yuan in "The Legend of the Ancient Sword" itself, although the cost has not been recovered at present, with the current trend, it is inevitable to recover the cost.

Later, Meng Xianming applied for DLC, and Mao Yi agreed without even thinking about it.

Compared with Meng Xianming's happiness, Miyazaki Hidetaka seemed a little lost.

To confiscate the cost is to fail!

This was really difficult for Hidetaka Miyazaki, who had just taken over at Dream at this time, to accept.

There is even a feeling of being ashamed of oneself.

Seeing that the employees of the "Demon's Souls" group were not in a high mood, Mao Yi felt a little funny.

Directly pulled the employees of the entire game department to arrange a team building tour in the Maldives.

made Miyazaki Hidetaka more and more ashamed.

"President......" Hidetaka Miyazaki said with a wry smile, "I ...... I can't go. ”

"Why?" Mao Yi wondered.

"Well deserved. Hidetaka Miyazaki smiled bitterly.

"Haha! Mr. Miyazaki is thinking too much. Mao Yi patted Hidetaka Miyazaki on the shoulder with a smile, and said with a smile: "The price of 1.3 million sets of physical disks is already a very powerful data!"

"Yes...... But the cost was not recovered. Miyazaki's smile grew bitter.

"You can't blame Mr. for this. Mao Yi said with a smile: "I didn't plan to recover the cost now." ”

Seeing Hidetaka Miyazaki's stunned look, Mao Yi explained with a smile: "Mr. may not understand, motherboard and PC version are two different concepts. ”

Seeing Hidetaka Miyazaki, I was still confused.

Mao Yi explained with a smile.

Why did Mao Yi have to develop a PC version?

Is it simply because the PC version is simpler than the console version?

Not.

Because of the PC version, it is possible to make a supplement.

Actually, this thing is just like a CD.

For example, the CD of a certain album of a well-known singer, after I buy it, the CD will come to my hands, but often due to some reasons, the CD will be lost, damaged and other factors resulting in unusable.

And if it is a physical album such as some gods, it will often be sold for thousands or even tens of thousands after many years!

But what about the PC version?

After development, there is no further consumption unless DLC is released. In other words, as long as the PC version is on the platform, it can stay forever.

Someday, the cost will be recouped.

And this cost is pure earning.

Therefore, the game "Demon's Souls", in Mao Yi's opinion, will not worry about recovering costs at all.

But why are some game studios facing closure because they can't recoup their costs?

This is because its investors or companies are often listed or other reasons, in order to recover costs, it is necessary to achieve a result.

This achievement, that is, at least to return to the capital, or even to earn many times.

That's what a good game studio should do.

But why doesn't Mao Yi mind, but is happy even if he doesn't return to his roots?

Because this game opens up the situation!

Yes, with 1.3 million physical discs and 300,000 PC sales, this number is already a very good result.

Although there is no return on the cost, these losses are also within the calculation range of Mao Yi.

Again......

As long as the Dream platform continues, as long as the Dream platform continues to launch excellent and fun games in the future, why worry about not recovering the cost?

Again......

Isn't there a platform fee?

You must know that there is no platform service in today's China.

The emergence of the Dream platform has also given many practitioners who are hovering on the fringes of the game industry a glimpse of the dawn.

Low commission, high exposure, and good results, although some people have revealed that the cost has not been recovered, but this kind of thing is a long-term service-oriented business, and temporary losses are normal.

In his previous life, when Ali entered the Didi ride-hailing service, didn't he also spend billions?

When I entered the food delivery industry, I also threw a lot of money.

These are the inevitable costs of upfront investment.

"What does the president mean...... This achievement...... Is it okay?" asked Hidetaka Miyazaki, looking surprised.

Mao Yi explained with a smile.

Only then did Hidetaka Miyazaki understand why the game that did not recover its cost in his eyes was already a great success in the eyes of the boss.

"Don't forget, there are hundreds of millions of netizens in Huaxia, even if only one in 1,000 of these people has bought our games, then this number is enough to make people excited! What's more, with more and more games on our platform, many people will like to land on our game platform, and won't the cost be recovered when the time comes?" Mao Yi said with a smile.
