Ninety-three, this is called a house bypass?
Lévy didn't know how much money and staff it would take to develop a mobile game that would spark a social buzz. But as for the mobile games that he has been exposed to for a period of time and have been popular among various groups for a period of time, no matter what type they are, it seems that they don't need too much money and too many people, and they may be able to be successfully developed. In comparison, the big-budget games that Kaguya often plays, even without her popular science, Levi knows that they are not toys that can be made by investing a little money and finding a few programmers and artists just by looking at the screen.
According to the huge development budget figures that Kaguya has popularized, even if a layman like Levy becomes the owner of a game company, if it is possible to get the same sales in both mobile phones and traditional platforms, then which side to choose which side to give up is the right decision that a layman can make. After all, under the premise of the same sales, the development cost of both sides is too different, isn't it?
On the one hand, you can earn ten dollars by spending one dollar to buy tools and work for one hour, and on the other hand, you can earn the same ten yuan by spending five dollars to work for five hours. Post this question on the Internet to ask netizens, maybe many people will wonder if there is a trap hidden in the question because the answer is too obvious.
"It shouldn't really be like that, after all, players like you also contribute a lot of revenue to game companies. What's more, I think that those who are just passing the time with games for leisure time may 'evolve' into people who treat games as a serious entertainment in the long run. Just like the audience watching a movie, don't they also have higher and higher requirements for movies? Many people initially find it interesting as long as it is a lively movie, but later they demand real special effects, and then they gradually begin to have requirements for plot and depth. ”
Very few people stick to the same hobby all their lives. And human preferences for certain things, under Levy's observation, also believe that they are roughly divided into several stages. From a little interest at the beginning, to a hobby, it often gradually produces a deeper pursuit of this hobby. When their pursuits are satisfied, or they have not been satisfied, they will leave this hobby and continue to look for things that interest them elsewhere.
"That's exactly what you said, so I'm not as pessimistic as you seem. Isn't the most typical example the way those stars in the entertainment industry make money? In the past, when the sales of physical records and various products were still very high, many celebrities could make a lot of money just by contributing money from ordinary people. Now that the sales of those things are getting lower and lower among ordinary people, some celebrities have begun to make enough money mainly from die-hard fans who are willing to spend large sums of 'meaningless money'. ”
Kaguya suddenly put the topic on the entertainment industry, which shows that she really doesn't listen to things outside the window like some of her peers. For the three-dimensional entertainment industry that is boring in the eyes of most two-dimensional otaku, there is actually a good opinion. Maybe it's because Levi has a friend who is a celebrity? Levi was surprised to know that Kaguya still had Yuna's phone number and email address on his phone. Just because they're from another world, these two women who don't feel like they have the slightest language in common feel like they're sick and sick together, right?
"Alas, don't mention it, some of our colleagues in school still have a headache about what you said. Some time ago, I don't know who threw a lot of the same CD in the garbage bin in the public area of the school, and it happened that the location seemed to be a dead spot for monitoring, but it turned out that I haven't caught who did it until now. ”
"Is it for the photos that came with the CD or something else that you buy a lot of and then throw away the useless CD? ”
Without Levy explaining, Kaguya immediately understood what he was talking about. After all, as a two-dimensional dead house, Kaguya has basically zero interest in three-dimensional stars, idols, and the like. But after all, everyone's 'title' has the word 'house' in it.,Those things that are not the same as the two-dimensional house are actually the idol houses of the people all the way.,How can Kaguya not know anything about it?
Even Levi would know about this kind of operation of the idol house, because he once tried to help Kaguya carry a box of character CDs from the same anime home. That Kaguya bought hundreds of CDs for the giveaway that came with the CD. The marketing methods of these companies are simple and crude, in fact, they create a set of giveaways and then randomly seal them into each CD. For ordinary customers who buy CDs, it is already a surprise to be able to get any of these gifts, and it is naturally impossible to have any dissatisfaction in their hearts. And those who can't control their collecting habits like Kaguya and Izumi, as long as they like the peripherals, they must collect a complete set...... It's these merchants who have captured the main target customer base that makes a lot of money.
There are many people who often complain that this kind of sales method with the nature of lottery must be greasy. For example, it is obviously a set of five character cards, and when it is actually sealed into the CD, it may not be the average number of random cards, but the number of cards of a certain popular character is significantly smaller than that of others, so that fans who hope to 'dominate all' can only spend money desperately to fight for their own not very good luck.
From the perspective of a pure outsider like Levy, he thinks that Renjia may not be as dark as those fans imagined. After all, it feels like even in a non-greasy way, this kind of money-making method can make a lot of money, and there should be no need to deliberately cheat in case something goes wrong to anger fans, and it will turn itself into a hammer deal, and you can't continue to 'exploit' in the future.
As for why there are always such and such voices on the Internet and in reality. Levi thinks that there is never a shortage of markets for conspiracy theories, and secondly, based on theories that should be called survivorship bias or something...... Even if the lucky ones come out and say something, they will be spurned as showing off, and only the negative words that are unlucky will be noticed the most. Even Kaguya, isn't he very supportive of something like 'the European Emperor Seal Must Die', and Levi doesn't quite understand it? When everyone draws the lottery, the most taboo thing is that those who win the lottery run out and are proud, and maybe there will be tragic bloodshed in the end!
