Chapter 666: Gold Membership System
Quite simply, that's the key to Jester's words.
Only achievements or trophies made on the Internet will be displayed on the account.
The reason for the addition of this networking is that players are social animals who like to show off how good they are when they complete challenges that they find very rare.
At this time, the achievement or trophy system of the network has a role, because players can pass guò, and the membership system provided by Mars Entertainment to them can be queried among the member players in the United States, the acquisition rate of this achievement, and the difficulty of obtaining it.
"I call this membership system the Gold membership system."
Jester finished talking about his idea, and then, he continued to add: "This membership system is only divided into two levels, one is the one I said charged, I call it Gold Member, and the other is the ordinary member who does not charge, I call it Silver Member, and for members who do not charge, we will not provide any benefits." ”
After hearing Jester's words, many people thought deeply, and they admitted that this system does have great prospects.
Even, Tong Guò's estimation of the income of the paid members of the chess and card game platform, coupled with their huge player base of Mars Entertainment, this gold membership system may become a very important profit growth point.
While everyone was thinking about Jester's idea, Jester didn't know what else came to mind, he stretched out a finger and tapped the table, drawing everyone's attention, obviously, he still had something to say.
"I just thought about it again, in fact, this gold membership system still has a lot to do in the future, and the most important thing is to be able to increase the kind of user stickiness of our players. This is crucial, the higher the stickiness of our users, the easier it is to buy our games, and you know that, so we also have to find ways to improve our user stickiness and let more players buy our gold membership. ”
"In other words, we want to make concessions to the players."
"What's the way to make a profit?"
"I have an idea here, but there is no way to do it yet. Thankfully, this is an idea that will be difficult to do now, or even in the next ten years. ”
Everyone was intrigued by Jester and wanted to know what idea Jester had in mind.
Jester didn't seem to mean anything, though.
When he said this, he stopped talking and looked at everyone with a smile: "This idea is a little immature, I won't say it yet, if you have any good ideas in this area after the meeting, you can tell me about it......"
In fact, Jester thought of two things that Sony and Microsoft did very successfully in later generations. The first is that you must be a member of the game online.
The second is that members give away games.
The reason why many people buy a PS+ membership is because of the benefit of three games per month, although most of these games are used by some small games to make up the numbers. But as long as there is a masterpiece a year, the membership of this year will be worth buying, for example. Jester remembers that after he purchased PS_ membership every few months.
will be exempted from "Sinful Equipment".
Although this game is not well-known to many players, it is in the eyes of many fighting players. This game is the pinnacle of 2D fighting games.
However, this thing is certainly impossible to say at this time.
It's not that I'm afraid of any leaks.
Because there are only three hardware vendors now, and, unless the network has developed to the point where it is like a later generation, and the game console is also equipped with a hard disk, this benefit has the premise of launching.
After the meeting.
Jester put himself into the heavy work, he almost had to coordinate the entire planning, programming, and art relationship, and also took time out of his mind to pay attention to the development of hardware at all times, in Jester's opinion, whether his game can succeed in the end, not only depends on whether his development team works hard, but more importantly, whether the new console can meet their performance requirements.
Judging by the tests during this time.
Although it will take a while longer than the original plan to be developed, the improvement of the performance of the host is completely different.
Even when Jester saw the performance demonstration of the next-generation host that had completed the prototype, he was excited to hug the developers around him.
Because the graphics are really amazing, it's more than double the graphics of the Dreambox3 they developed at the beginning, and it's almost not a display of the game screen of an era.
This comparison is similar to that of PS2 vs. DC.
Jester even dared to assert that if Sony and Sega did not change the original plan, or develop the console according to the previous plan, when it came to the official release, their own console, I am afraid that just by virtue of performance, they would be able to make the other party look for teeth.
Although his new console is about a year longer than the other party's console, in Jester's opinion, the decision to redevelop himself was still very wise.
Moreover, in the first year of the console's release, it can actually be regarded as the hottest time for console sales competition.
Because at this time, it is the most mature time of the previous generation of consoles, and there are a large number of excellent games to support on the previous generation of consoles, and the new consoles at this time lack excellent games, so the consoles at this time are not only competing with their own opponents, but also competing with their previous products.
Generally speaking, the peak sales season for a host.
It should be the third year after the release of this console, because in more than two years, it has been enough for major game companies to develop their own excellent products on this new console.
And when it comes to buying consoles, the vast majority of people's buying habits are buying consoles for games, and generally I want to play the game very much, and then I buy this console, which is why both Microsoft and Sony attach so much importance to the first party.
Even, the reason why he has to desperately loosen the third party and let them move closer to him.
For example, Sony spent a lot of money to win over Activision and let Activision's signature "Call of Duty" go to its own press conference booth, while Microsoft directly loosened "Tomb Raider" and made this game directly its own limited-time exclusive, and the exclusive time is definitely not low, because many players, such as some fans of Tomb Raider, will buy an XBO in order to play the new work of "Tomb Raider" as much as possible.
