On July 8, 1993, BioFight 0.9 was announced to be available for pre-order, and the merchandise had not yet been officially distributed, but players could purchase it by placing an order.

Reservations are limited to members of Tesco.com or members of New Venture Group's self-operated stores. After paying the deposit through self-operated channels or online channels, the subsequent delivery will be arranged gradually according to the order of the order. You will receive your order within one month at the latest.

As for the global market distribution, players can buy spot directly on the shelf, but they need to wait until October to expand one after another.

In fact, although the game is finished now, there are not many discs and hard disks in stock. But that's not a problem, because the new start-up game and video distribution channels are never centralized in one factory to record discs and then ship them to the global market. Rather, scattered all over the world, there are factories that record discs, and according to market changes, disc factories will record different products, discs and games, which are not very different in nature.

The production of the hard disk version, although it is not burned in these disc factories, but the principle is similar, you only need to load the game into the hard disk, and even, it is easier than the disc version.

This is similar to the distribution of newspapers, some newspapers on a national scale, the same day of the national sale, this may be printed in a printing house. Instead, it directly entrusts local printing houses across the country, and after the newspaper layout is produced, the produced content is sent to printing outlets in various places through the Internet. In this way, the outlets in various places basically produce newspapers simultaneously. Realize the newspaper of the day and achieve unified distribution throughout the country.

The recording of game discs and hard disk versions is almost similar to that of the print industry. The new startup department is all over the world, and the CD-ROM version is outsourced to more than 200 locations for recording. As for the hard disk version, it's pretty much the same, and the raw material for making it is just a hard disk.

Therefore, soon after the game was released, it quickly realized that outlets around the world could buy genuine game CDs or hard drives.

Because, although the 0.9 version of the game is immature, however, the disc version costs only $10. Moreover, after purchasing version 0.9 of the game, you can still upgrade to the latest version through the Internet for free.

In addition, the hard disk version eliminates the need for installation and can be plug-and-play. What's more, in addition to the game content, the hard drive itself has already made consumers pay for themselves.

So, whether it's a disc or a hard drive, sales have exceeded expectations!

"BioSurge Version 0.9 YES!"

"Actually, I don't have any interest in games, just hard drives. Buy a hard disk to give away the game, buy it back to delete the game, and there is no loss, the market price of 5GB hard disk is now generally more than 600~700 US dollars!

"It's too extravagant to install a hard drive, I'm still playing with a disc!"

"Biochemical Survival asked online, it's in a hurry, how can I get a weapon at the beginning?"

"Addicted to fighting zombies, you can't extricate yourself!"

The BioDynamic Survival game is currently available in two versions, one on DVD and one on hard drive.

Selling games directly on hard drives may be considered stupid in later generations, and few game companies do this. Because it will increase the cost of publishing the game, the game company needs to buy a large number of hard disks to install the game at the beginning, and if it is not sold, then the loss can be much greater than the loss of the game.

But the new venture electronics group has its own hard disk business. The hard disk used to install games is also produced by internal affiliated enterprises. The purchase price of the internal hard disk is much cheaper than the market price, so it is even cheaper to buy the game and the hard disk in a package than to buy the hard disk separately.

This approach is actually to use the synergistic advantages of the industrial chain to achieve a win-win situation, and the hard disk version of "Biochemical Survival" is only the software profit itself, even slightly more than the CD version.

For companies that produce hard disks, Xinchuang Storage has also increased shipments and has profit margins.

Even, for consumers, even if the game data is deleted, only the hard drive is used for use, which is a very cost-effective deal.

After this win-win marketing strategy began to be launched, many industries in the entrepreneurial department have made profits.

In the case of Tesco, a considerable number of orders are submitted through Tesco. As a result, Tesco has obtained sales of both the disc version and the hard disk version. At the same time, DVD drive sales are also growing rapidly!

Even, some high-end gamers have not only increased the capacity of the hard disk, but also added a DVD drive, and even upgraded the graphics card to the top configuration.

Multiple subsidiaries and project teams profited from the release of the game BioDynamics.

As for this popular game itself, on July 8, the DVD disc version is scheduled to exceed 50,000. The order quantity of the hard disk version is more than 8,000, too!

Then, on July 9, orders for the CD-ROM version increased by more than 60,000. The new orders for the hard disk version are also more than 10,000.

For many Internet café operators, "Biochemical Survival" also provides them with new opportunities. Because, whether it is the disc version or the hard disk pre-installed version, after buying it home, it is mainly to play the stand-alone mode.

However, the core gameplay of "BioShock", in addition to the stand-alone mode, is more critical to the battle mode. Players can be divided into up to 3 factions, and each faction can allow 4 players to join. Up to 12 players set up a LAN and fight against each other within the LAN.

Compared to the previous CS, BioShock is not just a gunplay game, but the camp has no weapons at all at first. You'll need to find your own way out and gather food, supplies, and weapons to keep the camp's players and NPCs alive. In PvP mode, it's not just players from other factions who kill them that earn points. In addition, bringing back more NPC survivors and cleaning up more zombies are also key to earning points.

Thanks to this game, both the development and survival of the camp are taken into account. There are also dangers outside the camp, and in addition, they are confrontational. Therefore, it was launched in July and quickly became the king of Internet café games.

A large number of Internet cafes, in order to attract business, began to upgrade their machinery and equipment. And, an order for BioShock was placed

In the Tokyo area alone, since July 9, there have been some Internet cafes that have put up posters of the "BioShock" game to attract players.

Basically, computers with BioSurge pre-installed are very sought-after. If it can be connected to the local area network, it will make the business of the Internet café so good that it is full.

"Biochemical Survival" seems to have become a rare hit in recent years!" Even Lin Qi couldn't help but smile when he saw the sales data of the game sector through his own authority in the company's internal network.

To a certain extent, "Biochemical Survival" is probably similar to the later "Eating Chicken", which has high hardware requirements and is a hit. "Eating Chicken" not only drove the performance of the Steam platform to skyrocket, but even triggered a wave of computer hardware upgrading. Many game computers are directly advertised as chicken configurations, even if they are not chicken players, they also fancy performance, and they also choose computers with this configuration.

The phenomenon of "Eating Chicken" is actually not new, after the popularization of personal computers, the requirements for hardware configuration of games are very high. Every once in a while, after a blockbuster game is released, it may cause gamers to change computers or upgrade their computer configurations.

Even here in time and space, the development history of Pangu computers stimulates players to upgrade their hardware, to a large extent, by constantly launching popular games. For example, games such as "CS" and "Resident Evil" have greatly driven the hardware upgrading tide of the Pangu platform market, and consolidated the basic disk of Pangu computer and the market of players.
