0956 The Game That Doesn't Make Money
The latest generation of Play-Box 5 game consoles has been installed in the office of the test department, with an external 60-inch 8K large screen and a complete stereo system, and the overall game experience is obviously much stronger than the previous trial of Han Lan in the office with the laptop they sent.
It can also bring the picture quality and sound of this 3A masterpiece to the extreme.
"Mr. Han, how is it? Not bad, right? Wu Guiyuan sat on the side and asked with a smile.
"Well, it feels good. This kind of game really needs to be matched with hardware to play happily. β
"Well, we've been talking to the world's two major console game manufacturers for a long time, and we've finally come to an end." Wu Guiyuan said with a smile.
"Isn't it hard to talk about?" Han Lan asked.
"It's not easy to negotiate, not only for console games, but also for PC and major game platforms. The main thing is that we require that only the official version can be launched, and log in with a Tomahawk game account, in fact, there are still many platforms that have not agreed to this article. β
Han Lan nodded: "But this one must be adhered to, and only by using our own accounts can we unify supervision." Even if you give a little profit to the platform, you have to stick to it. β
"Well, I know Mr. Han." Wu Guiyuan nodded in response.
He knew Han Lan's intentions.
Various game platforms around the world have their own accounts, and basically the games downloaded on any platform are logged in with the platform's account by default, and there are even special servers. In other words, sometimes the same game downloaded on two different platforms cannot be played together.
Different platforms must have different levels of supervision and review of player accounts, and in fact, no platform can achieve such strict real-name supervision as Tomahawk Games.
Therefore, if this point is let go, then the real-name system that Tomahawk Games has been pushing hard before will be useless.
For this, many game platforms actually refuse. It's too damaging to players, it's easy to affect game sales, and to a certain extent, it will attract users of your own platform to the Tomahawk game platform.
The most important thing is that logging in with the account of Tomahawk Games is only the appearance, and the internal is that even the recharge channel has to go through the channel of Tomahawk Games, and the money is directly hit to the account of Tomahawk Games, and then Tomahawk Games will divide the account to the platform. The platform is equivalent to only providing a channel for game downloads, and the rest is completely in the hands of Tomahawk Games, and the master becomes a worker overnight.
This is a direct break with the traditional rules, and it is impossible for normal game platforms to accept this kind of "unequal treaty".
Therefore, since the launch of "Puppet Division", it can basically only be downloaded through official channels, and it cannot be found on some mainstream game platforms. However, it has little impact on computer games, and it is only a matter of fewer channels, as long as it can be searched online, players do not necessarily have to download from these game platforms to play.
Console games, on the other hand, can't bypass these console game manufacturers, because even the machines that play games are made by others, and there is no way to play on them without authorization.
So? Tomahawk games can only make concessions on the score? It took a long time to talk about the two major game consoles.
"How are the sales of the computers that are now on the shelves?" Han Lan asked.
"As of yesterday, domestic and foreign sales combined have just exceeded five million copies." Wu Guiyuan smiled bitterly.
"That's not bad, after deducting all kinds of taxes? How can there be more than 800 million income, right? Earned. And it's only been on the shelves for a little over a week? The results are very good. Han Lan said with a smile.
"Mr. Han, but compared to "Puppet Master Alliance"? This game really doesn't make money. "Puppet Master Alliance" has earned more than 300 million just by selling a skin, and the investment in game research and development is much less than that of "Fengshen". I kind of understand why domestic game manufacturers prefer online games......"
"Take your time? Think of it as earning foreign exchange. Can't we just do online games forever? You have to have some hard goods to show off your muscles! Han Lan comforted.
Wu Guiyuan nodded, although he complained, he also knew that this kind of 3A masterpiece had to be done.
Because the future of tomahawk games, Han Lan has already drawn a good direction for them, which is virtual reality games. Even Tomahawk Group has already invested in hardware in advance? Are you going to build your own gaming equipment in the future? It's the equivalent of a "futuristic" version of a console game.
This kind of highly immersive game,Immersive experience,It can be said that it is the future of 3A masterpieces,If Tomahawk games can't even do 3A masterpieces well,Don't even think about these things in the futureγ
"By the way, Mr. Han? I'll show you something new. Wu Guiyuan suddenly thought of something, and smiled and beckoned the assistant to move the laptop over and show it to Han Lan.
"What?"
"Mr. Han? You didn't pay attention to our website. Wu Guiyuan joked.
Han Lan smiled embarrassedly, he was very busy in Yanjing during this time? Where is the time to go around on the official website of Tomahawk Games?
Wu Guiyuan opened a new game on the desktop, and it was a familiar ink painting style.
"It's ......"
"Hahaha? We bought the copyright of "Huaguo Shiyun" from Tomahawk Animation? And then adapted it into a game? Make it a puzzle game. I didn't invest much money, and I didn't make any money, mainly to help children understand these ancient poems, and the current reputation is not bad. Wu Guiyuan said, while also opening the main page of the game, showing Han Lan the player's comments.
The rows down are all five-star praise.,A lot of them are written as parents.,It's estimated that they're relatively young parents.,I'm a player of the tomahawk game myself.,After seeing it, I downloaded it for my children to play.γ Anyway, the game is free, and you don't lose money by playing.
Han Lan also nodded with satisfaction after reading it: "It's good, but this game painting style should still require a certain age to appreciate it, right?" β
"Well, so we've been working on a couple of mini-games for different ages as well, as well as some parent-child interactive mini-games. Anyway, the investment is not large, so it's not bad to increase some platform inventory, otherwise every time we open the platform of our Tomahawk game, the two games "Puppeteer Alliance" and "Fengshen" will look too miserable. β
"Hahaha......"
"But the main business still has to be done well, edutainment is as much as possible, this statement itself is unrealistic, the game is the game, relaxation is still the main thing, we can ensure that the three views are good, don't bring so many private goods. This kind of highly educational game can be customized in cooperation with relevant departments and institutions. β
"Well, I understand, Mr. Han, we will do these businesses separately."
"Then you get busy first, I'll go shopping elsewhere by myself." Han Lan patted him on the shoulder, didn't let him send it, and went out with his assistant by himself.
