At 7 o'clock in the evening on September 11th, Xiaoxin Games' "Onmyoji" was finally launched after a large wave of early market warm-up.

In the words of players, it is "Xiaoxin games are not as good as Xiaoxin ads......

Xiaoxin Games, which has 2.5 billion users, is now second only to New World Games in influence, plus there are no new games in New World recently, and Xiaoxin ads have swept the whole network, and empty players began to flock to Xiaoxin's official website half an hour before the game was launched.

"The theme of Onmyoji is very interesting, and I'm looking forward to this game. ”

"We Japanese players are really happy to see Xiaoxin Games release a game with the theme of Onmyoji, and we are proud of our national culture. ”

"The Onmyoji is Japanese? I'm sorry, Japanese players, our Huaxia stories about demons and monsters are much earlier, and there are many more, in our Huaxia, call the Onmyoji Taoist ......."

After the number of users increases, disputes between players in certain countries have become commonplace. Fortunately, this part of the voice is a small number of players after all, and most players still focus more on the game itself.

"This Xiaoxin game also has the activity of "playing games and giving virtual game helmets", do you think this game will also be a virtual reality game?"

"Onmyoji is a virtual reality game? Is there an official announcement?

"There are still ten minutes to open for download, hurry up, Onmyoji!"

"I just hope the game isn't a horror game, otherwise I'm a little afraid to play. ”

Ten minutes later, on the official website of Xiaoxin Games, "Onmyoji" opened the download channel.

When players clicked on the game's download, they found that the paid instructions that popped up seemed to be very different from previous games.

When you click to buy Onmyoji, two options will pop up on the website.

The first is "Global Pet Online has been purchased", and if this is the case for the player, the price of buying Onmyoji is 350 yuan.

The second is "not purchased "Global Pet Online", in this case to buy "Onmyoji", the player needs to pay 650 yuan.

However, if the player chooses the second case, then after spending 650 yuan to buy "Onmyoji", the system will pop up a dialog box again [Thank you for your support, if you need to download "Global Pet Online", the current price is only 350 yuan. 】

The two games have been merged into one, and the game map service is a common world, so downloading either of these two games is already equivalent to purchasing the game map, so the two games are no longer charged at the same time.

Of course, this also has the advantage of making players feel that this is a preferential activity, and the original 650 games now only need 350, which can also promote the download of the two games to a certain extent.

……………………

San Francisco, California, USA, just an hour's drive from Silicon Valley.

Not many people know that the headquarters of the website "Video Game League of America" is located in a warehouse building in the city.

Who cares about a small website founded by a few young people? In today's world of game websites, not to mention the countless big websites in other countries, even in the United States, such large game information websites as "Video Game Network", "American Game Online", "American Game Pioneer", or game forums abound.

The office of the video game league network was converted from a warehouse, but after the design of the site owner Franks and his friends, they renovated it themselves, and it turned into a very stylish-looking house.

Well, at least from the inside of the building, due to financial constraints, the exterior of the house is still in the shape of the original somewhat dilapidated warehouse.

This warehouse is large, but there is only one floor, and under Franks' design, the space is not divided, and the huge warehouse is separated by a glass room. All other areas are used as office space for employees.

Everyone, including a few bosses, all work with everyone in the office area, and only when they discuss important matters, in order not to disturb the work of others, they meet in the glass room in the center of the warehouse.

Although the conference room is soundproofed, it is surrounded by glass, so everyone can see the meeting inside. And anyone, free to enter the meeting room!

Regardless of how well the affiliate website is doing, at least in terms of business philosophy, Franks and these young people are already very innovative.

It's less than seven o'clock in the morning, and seven o'clock in the evening in China is the morning in the United States...... To be honest, there are widespread complaints among American players about the launch time of "Onmyoji", but it is not the official explanation that makes American players shut up, in fact, the official has not made any explanation for the launch time of the game, what really makes them feel comfortable is the posts of a large number of European players.

"Huaxia will be online at 7 p.m., I just want to say FK YOU silently!"

"You're going to get up at four in the morning?"

In fact, the difference in time difference is also a matter of no choice, there are so many time zones in the world, it is impossible for Xiaoxin Games to take care of every player, and the game is not NG live broadcast, and no one forces you to get up in the early morning to download the game......

But having said that, Global Pet Online has pushed the status of Xiaoxin games to the top, and a large number of users have high hopes for this "Onmyoji" in order to download the game as soon as possible, that is, how long does it take for American players to get up at six o'clock in the morning. As for the game information websites in the industry, whether it is a game development company, it is their job to understand and be familiar with the new world and the games of Xiaoxin Games, and they need to download the game as soon as possible.

As a result, more than 30 employees of the video game alliance network arrived at the "company" early.

At this time, there were seven or eight people sitting in the glass room conference room, and on the table in the middle of the conference room, there were also seven or eight cool-looking helmets.

Franks yawned heavily, "Damn, why do you have to go live at this time!Tom, you have to pull me to CSGO when you say you have something to do today!"

"Franks, we need to make it clear who is pulling whom!" A young man with brown hair on the side had messy hair, but his thoughts were still clear.

"Hey, can't you just take a break?" reproached a girl, Jenny, from the American West, with blonde hair tied up high, blue eyes, the tip of her nose slightly upturned, and like many American girls, she also had freckles on her face, which may fade as she gets older.

"Well, we should all listen to Jenny, and usually pay more attention to rest, at least not in such a bad state when the game is released in the new game or the new world. ”

"Brother, I've heard this at least thirty times. An employee standing next to him unceremoniously refuted the boss.

Franks was a little speechless, his own employees always gave him such a faceless appearance.

Thankfully, the game is about to go live, and Franks can finally skip the topic.

The download link of "Onmyoji" prompts users to download it with their mobile phones, and everyone also downloads the game as soon as Xiaoxin Games opens the game download channel.

"Huh, isn't the game big, only 7 Gs?"

Experienced players can generally guess the quality of the game from the size of the game, and in general, the bigger the game, the more content the game has, and the better the quality of the game.

"yes, it's only one-ninth of the pets online. ”

"But judging from the screenshots of the game released before the new game, the quality of this game shouldn't be bad. ”

The confusion about the size of the game has not been resolved, and the next thing is the download price of the game.

"Players who have downloaded Pet Online will download "Onmyoji" at nearly half the price?

Franks also frowned, "It's possible, but although this strategy can promote many users of pet online to download Onmyoji, at the same time, it will also prevent many players who have not downloaded pet online to download this new game." ”

"Sure enough, it's a bundle sale, you look at the payment instructions, as long as you buy either of the games of "Global Pet Online" and "Onmyoji", you can download another game for $55, which is nearly twice as cheap. ”

As for the pricing strategy of Xiaoxin games, up to the current position, in fact, the outside world will not know the real reason.

The news that "Onmyoji" was implanted in "Global Pet Online" was solemnly not revealed to the outside world, and everyone naturally did not think of the real reason.

After about ten minutes, Jenny was the first to download the game.

"I'll start first. Jenny didn't mean to wait for anyone else at all, downloaded the game and started the game immediately.

Welcome to this new virtual world. 】

[Do you believe that there are ghosts in this world?]

[Do you believe that there are all kinds of demons and monsters in this world, and they are hidden around you?]

[I know a lot of people don't believe it, but it's true that in the real world, the existence of these "things" has not been scientifically confirmed. 】

[However, in my world, everything is real!]

[Yes, you heard me right, I said "everything"......]

When she saw this line, for some reason, Jenny's breathing seemed a little short.

The voice in the game emphasizes "everything", what do these words mean?

In any case, it filled her with curiosity and anticipation, and she couldn't wait to enter this new world.

[Next, please enter Minecraft!" (The game is about to enter the AR world mode, it is recommended to wear a virtual game headset for the best gaming experience). 】

Jenny immediately connected her phone to the virtual gaming headset and put on the helmet.
