In June 2ooo, the domestic sales of the stand-alone version of "Journey to the West: The Great Sage" exceeded 2oo0,000, which made the partner company even if it wanted to keep a low profile, the game industry and the media would not follow. ~~~

In addition, the small partner company itself is very high-profile, and it has a professional network water army, which is usually idle, just to promote the company.

With the cooperation of achievements, it has attracted countless attention from the partner company in the game industry.

For example, in mainstream computer newspapers such as "Computer News" and "Popular Software", there are long reports on the works of small partner companies.

At the same time, it has also attracted the attention of Hong Kong and Taiwan businessmen. For example, Zhiguan Technology Co., Ltd., the dragon brand leader in Taiwan's game industry, was very interested in the stand-alone version of "Journey to the West: The Great Sage", and bought out the exercise of the traditional market at a price of 150,000 yuan. This traditional market,Mainly Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan,The current PC game sales in Hong Kong and Taiwan,It's almost the same as the big 6 market。

150,000 yuan to sell the exercise of traditional Chinese, Wang Qinian does not think that it is a loss. In essence, this stand-alone version, in his opinion, is to pave the way for the future online game version.

The traditional version can return 15o yuan of funds, and with the help of Zhiguan Technology Company to promote the product to Hong Kong and Taiwan, Wang Qinian also has a lot of worries.

For example, many stand-alone games in China, the traditional version of Xishanju's "Swordsman Love" seems to be in cooperation with Zhiguan Technology, and it is said that the traditional sales are also very good, at least fifty or sixty thousand copies.

"Journey to the West: The Great Sage" discusses the sophistication of the system, as well as the innovation of the game. It's a lot of "Swordsman Love". Wang Qinian thinks that as long as there are no shortcomings in the traditional Chinese version in terms of publicity and sales channels, it will definitely sell well!

As for whether Zhiguan Technology Company has made a lot of money, Wang Qinian is not worried. I am not afraid that Zhiguan Technology will make more money, if Zhiguan Technology makes more money, it will be more active to act as a partner company in the future.

At the beginning of June, after the copyright of "Journey to the West: The Great Sage" was signed, the sales of the simplified Chinese version in China gradually began to slow down. After all. Previously, 2oo million boxes of genuine game software were sold. Players who pay more attention to PC games basically buy genuine CDs.

The rest of the players either have a wide range of channels and are not able to buy CDs. Either that's just a mediocre interest in playing new games on PC. Not so keen on trying new games.

on this. The former case. Wang Qinian has a headache, after all, the software that operates on the PC now. The reach is not as wide as the average merchandising channel. A large number of players, who have only heard the name of the game, cannot buy the disc.

On the Internet, many netizens have long said that in his city, they can't buy the CD of "Journey to the West: The Great Sage".

For this reason, Wang Qinian thought about it for a long time and decided to launch the download version of the official website of the game.

In the download version, players can get an activation code by making a bank transfer through guò and leaving a mobile phone number or email address.

Players who send money will soon receive a new SMS or email address. The letter contains the activation code of the genuine game of "Journey to the West: The Great Sage".

After having the activation code, you can get a permanent VIP service account on the official website of "Journey to the West: The Great Sage". Players who have a VIP service account can download the game directly in addition to the version update patch.

Each activation code costs 5 yuan, which is 3 yuan less than buying a physical CD. In fact, this is also to encourage some netizens who can surf the Internet at home to buy the activation code directly online. This will be cheaper than buying a CD.

……

On June 8, 2ooo, the official website of the stand-alone game of "Journey to the West: The Great Sage" was officially opened to the public, and the official website provided genuine players with the service of downloading with an activation code.

Overnight, more than 100,000 IPs visited the Wèn website, and more than 15oo people took the bank transfer method to obtain the activation code on the same day.

For the next period of time, hundreds, thousands, of people buy activation codes every day.

Of course, Wang Qinian, many players who buy activation codes, do not download the game client, this behavior is puzzling.

However, soon he saw some players' posts on some "Methods to support the little partner company, buy activation codes", "I bought ten activation codes for the Great Sage Chapter today, who needs it, contact me by SMS", "Only for sisters, if sisters need it, you can send activation codes"......

In the various posts, there are generally some enthusiastic players who have already purchased genuine CDs. However, I bought a lot of additional activation codes as a support for the partner company.

It is precisely because there are a large number of such players that there are some phenomena that have purchased the activation code but have not downloaded the game - these players belong to the hardcore and originally supported the partner company.

Seeing these news, Wang Qinian felt a little moved!

Who said that Chinese gamers are low and will only buy pirated copies!

This is because, on the one hand, there are some games that are not genuine in China at all. For example, games such as "Red Alert", "CS", "Interstellar", "World of Warcraft", and "Dark" have never been officially implemented in the Chinese market at all, and only some pirates have organized people to sinicize these games, and then they have been made into unauthorized pirated copies and sold in China. Many games, without these pirated versions, domestic players would not have to play at all.

Of course, if these games are genuine, there will be a large number of players who are willing to pay for them.

In addition, it is the problem of dealers, many dealers only recommend 5 yuan a pirated version to consumers, and rarely recommend genuine copies to players, most players, also what proposition, what version to buy what version is recommended. These unscrupulous dealers will only recommend pirated discs, and most players, there will be a problem of genuine and pirated discs.

Of course, there are also some players, when faced with both genuine and pirated copies, specify to buy the shore. There are no longer a few such players, but they are not all.

To put it simply, the problem of piracy in China is not necessarily a problem of consumers, but rather a problem of dealers and pirates who disregard their conscience for the sake of profit. In addition, the protection of intellectual property rights by domestic regulators is to turn a blind eye. If the supervision is not strict, it is naturally conniving.

If the protection of intellectual property rights in China can be achieved to the same extent as in Europe and the United States, the popularity rate of various genuine software in China will not be lost to overseas. (To be continued!)
