Chapter 316: Expectations Ignite After Disappointment
Since Li Feiteng's big move to establish Yunteng Games, millions of gamers have been paying attention to a game - "Torchlight".
However, it is disappointing that Torchlight, as a domestic game, actually developed the English version first, and the Chinese version was only translated on the text, and the whole game was completely made into a European and American style game.
What's more, this game has been on the market abroad for half a month, and it was only officially sold in major cities in China until today, June 16th, and the price is ridiculously expensive, the mainland costs 188 yuan, Xiangjiang costs 168 Hong Kong dollars, and the treasure island costs 999 Taiwan dollars.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately aroused the dissatisfaction and criticism of many domestic game manufacturers and some players.
Because, at this price, almost many gamers can't afford it.
On this day, in front of the Treasure Island Yunteng Game Publishing Company, hundreds of players and many media reporters came to Treasure Island, and everyone wanted to get a reasonable explanation from Yunteng Games.
Bei Xinjing, president and chairman of Yunteng Game Publishing Company, she was dressed up very beautifully today, and her makeup was particularly gorgeous, and when she walked out of the company, she was like a big star with a temperament, and after a group of people saw it, they all quieted down.
"Miss Pei, why is the release price of Torchlight so expensive, it has caused dissatisfaction among many gamers, is this price set by Mr. Li Feiteng, the founder of Yunteng Games?"
Hearing a reporter say this, Bei Xinjing smiled calmly: "This price is not expensive, if it is converted back according to the price of Torchlight in the magnesium country." Our prices are already low. What's more, Torchlight is aimed at high-end gamers. At present, there are only about 10,000 computers that can match the whole treasure island to run this game, and there are also very few in Xiangjiang and the mainland, so it can be said that we developed this game without taking into account the domestic market, and even Mr. Li did not want to sell it in China at all. β
"As for the price. This kind of trivial matter is definitely not something that Mr. Li Feiteng will pay attention to. β
When the media reporters heard this, there was an uproar, it turned out that Yunteng Games was not ready to sell Torchlight in China at all, which was indeed an incredible thing in the eyes of their laymen.
After hearing this, hundreds of gamers were particularly disappointed, it turned out that this game was not going to be sold in China from the beginning, and they were looking forward to it in vain.
"We are also helpless, and the development of computer popularization at home and abroad is different. The configuration is too different, and everyone knows it. Domestic piracy is rampant, the Chinese version of Torchlight is released today, and tomorrow I am afraid that it will become the target of pirated version disc manufacturers working overtime to pirate. Bei Xinjing said helplessly.
The media reporters were already speechless, and one reporter immediately asked: "Miss Pei, how is the sales of Torchlight in China?"
"Well, I'd like to announce to you today that Torchlight has already sold 300,000 units in North America, and next month, we're going to release the Torchlight: Dark Forest expansion, and we're expanding its distribution to the islands and the country. Bei Xinjing said with a proud smile, but she was secretly scolding a man in her heart at this time.
Li Feiteng, the sales volume of 300,000 is not satisfied, and he still does not reply to the old lady's email, and the old lady is angry!
β¦β¦
On the other side of the world, in Silicon Valley, the magnesium country, it is dusk.
In the presidential suite of the hotel, in the study, Li Feiteng turned on the computer, logged in to the email, and checked the emails sent from China.
In the past two days, he has been busy rectifying the search for letters, and he has no time to look at the mailbox, nor has he contacted the domestic company, so as soon as he came up, the mailbox was very stuck, and it took a long time to buffer before he saw dozens of unread emails.
"Torchlight actually sold 300,000 people, it seems that the follow-up strength of the publicity has gone up!" Li Feiteng was pleasantly surprised, he didn't expect that there would be such a surprise after the second week.
A game, sometimes, it's really impossible to determine what the final sales will be, especially for a new company and a new title.
The sequel to the classic game, just the pre-order can easily exceed one million, and for the torchlight of Yunteng Games, the sales on the first day are only a few thousand sets.
Li Feiteng knocked on his head, the sales in the second week were 50,000 more than the first week, representing more than half of the previous 120,000 players, and promoted the torchlight to other friends, and the remaining new sales were still publicity.
Whether it is games, music, novels, comics, movies, but all cultural and entertainment consumer products, after having word of mouth, sales are not a problem.
He thought, quickly typed on the keyboard, and sent an email to Bei Xinjing, asking her to pay close attention to the market, and if necessary, she could spend money on publicity.
"If the light of the torch can reach my expected sales, the road will be much easier in the future!" Li Feiteng excitedly took out a foreign cigarette and smoked it, but unfortunately the taste is always wrong, flue-cured tobacco and mechanical cigarettes are very different.
His expected sales volume is more than 5 million units worldwide, which not only means making money, but also means that Yunteng Games has a large number of loyal players around the world, which cannot be underestimated.
Popularity, word of mouth, these intangible influences and brand values are the things that Li Feiteng values most in his heart, and they are also things that others cannot take away.
"Expectations are high and the odds of disappointment are high. β
Li Feiteng continued to look down at the emails, and among the dozens of emails, most of them were emails from four women, An Miaomiao, Gao Yuanyuan, Li Yaoyao, and Meng Tingwei, and even Liu Yifei's little devil hair asking for gifts.
"Big villain, I have two months to celebrate my birthday, and you're going to bring me a gift from abroad, well, of course, it's not a birthday present, and you have to prepare another birthday gift. βββliuyifei@
"Okay, I'll buy a set of Barbie dolls and bring them to this little devil. Li Feiteng knocked on his head, he deleted Liu Yifei's email, this girl's birthday is August 25, which is very memorable.
Although it is a headache for Liu Yifei to have a kind of admiration for him, it can't stop Li Feiteng from wanting to love his sister, he wants to wait for the little devil to grow up, and he can really find her love.
Gao Yuanyuan's email just now was obviously not sent by herself, but written by Gao's mother, meaning that he should return to China as much as possible next month and accompany Gao Yuanyuan, who is about to give birth to a baby in Xiangjiang.
At this point, even if she doesn't send emails, Li Feiteng has planned the time in his heart, he went abroad this time, was busy with Google and searching for letters, and entered a one-month "vacation state" at the beginning of next month, at that time, he was ready to spend only five hours a day working with email, and the rest of the time, he would accompany Gao Yuanyuan and the child in her belly.
