Chapter 1417 - Original Sin of Free Games

Preventing the birth of free online games is actually a very difficult thing, and even with Boss Jia's current status, it is completely impossible to do it.

Because the most powerful thing about free online games is the grasp of people's hearts, now all online games are charged, so free online games without threshold will definitely attract a large number of ordinary players who have little income in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, which is a huge advantage of free online games.

Then launch paid props in online games, so that those local tyrants can enjoy the pleasure of slaughtering free players in a single second, which is the charging method of free online games.

Ordinary players who don't have money enjoy the thrill of free games, and rich players enjoy the thrill of spending money to slaughter free players, in fact, it's quite fair, if you don't want to be slaughtered by RMB players, and you don't want to spend money, you can play LOL!

This is a very perfect, very simple, and effective routine, as long as you do it, you can make money, no matter how rich Boss Jia is, you can still block others from making money!

So Boss Jia actually doesn't have much aversion to free online games, but free online games also have an original sin, and this original sin is to suppress the development of Huaxia's 3A games.

For a long time, one of the biggest regrets of the Chinese people is that Huaxia has never had its own 3A masterpiece, and from ancient times to the present, there has been no one.

It's not a technical problem, Huaxia has actually crushed the world in game technology, but the key problem is that his 3A masterpiece is not profitable!

An ordinary 3A masterpiece, with millions of sales worldwide and tens of millions of dollars, is almost the sky, and the top 3A masterpiece is hundreds of millions of dollars.

But an online game, not to mention anything else, even if it is some low-level skin-changing online games, can have a profit of hundreds of millions of dollars a year, and the cost of these skin-changing online games is only a few tenths of a three-A masterpiece, or even a few hundredths of a hundredth, which is a choice that any capital fool will make.

But this world is different, under the leadership of Boss Jia, Daqian Games is already the most profitable game company in the world, and it also proves that top paid online games are very profitable, so that the original sin of free online games may not exist.

"Okay, let's talk about it depending on the situation, if it really doesn't work, let's strangle "Journey" in the cradle!" Boss Jia muttered.

It is said that from the release of "Journey" to 2020, "Journey" is a game that has earned more than 70 billion yuan in profits for Shi Yuzhu.

It is precisely because of the popularity of "Journey" that countless game developers have entered the free-to-play model later, after all, before "Journey", games such as "Legend" and "World of Warcraft" fully proved the success of the paid online game model!

Therefore, if "Journey" is choked to death, and then a few huge success cases of point card paid online games are made, it is completely feasible.

"Perhaps, we can make that game!" Boss Jia muttered.

"What game?" Zhong Yu pricked up his ears and asked curiously.

"Fantasy Journey to the West!" Boss Jia said with a smile.

The game "Fantasy Journey to the West" is very profound in the influence of Boss Jia, first of all, this is the first online game that Boss Jia played in his last life, not "Legend".

I still remember when I went to Fujian Province to travel, because a friend of my parents opened an Internet café, my parents were talking, and their friend saw that Jia Yapeng was very bored, so they took the initiative to let the network manager open a machine for Jia Yapeng, who was only 13 years old at the time, and then just in time for the test of "Fantasy Journey to the West", the entire Internet café was the propaganda of Fantasy Journey to the West, so Jia Yapeng came into contact with online games for the first time.

Then Jia Yapeng's children couldn't extricate themselves, they stayed at level 69 for 2 years, and stayed at level 89 for 2 years, and bought hundreds of millions of copper coins to buy some cards, and they were all tears when they said more!

To get back to the point, in fact, Boss Jia believes that the point card charging model of "Fantasy Journey to the West" is the most desirable model, that is, to increase the official path of point card sales, and to strengthen personal strength by purchasing a large number of point cards through rich people and exchanging them for game currency.

Ordinary players, on the other hand, earn game currency through time and then exchange it for point cards, so as to get a way to play the game for free.

In this way, the point card consumption of a game can be increased more than ten times, but it avoids the unfairness of krypton games, or the notoriety of free games, which is indeed an excellent way.

But then again, it's too early to think about free-to-play games or anything, because if free-to-play games really want to run rampant in the world, they will have to wait until online payments appear.

In this era when online payment still depends on the post, free games are not in a big environment to develop.

To sum up, throughout 1997, Daqian Games created a sales performance of 15.12 billion US dollars, and the profit historically broke through the 9 billion US dollar mark, reaching a net profit of 9.172 billion US dollars, continuing to lead the net profit list of the entire Daqian Group.

Well, the largest of them is the sales performance of the game handheld.

Unlike the harvested Daqian Games, Daqian Entertainment suffered a lot this year, with a total profit of only $1.8 billion for the year, a decrease of nearly $2 billion from last year.

The reason for this is because Daqian Entertainment released too few movies throughout 1997.

Originally, according to the original plan, Daqian Yue Club will release three movies in 97, namely "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", "Fantastic Four" and "Pokemon 3"

However, except for "Pokemon 3", which was released on time, the other two movies had to be delayed until 98.

Among them, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was due to an accident, which caused the original set to be rebuilt, which delayed time.

And "Fantastic Four" is completely Marvel's problem.

Because Marvel plans to go to its own movies, although "Fantastic Four" is produced and distributed by Daqian Films, Marvel's Lafayette Stan Lee was excessively involved in the filming process of "Fantastic Four", and even supervised the whole process, constantly putting forward a lot of revisions, which caused a lot of conflicts between the entire crew and Stan Lee, and even the director directly couldn't do it.

The matter came into the hands of Boss Jia, and Boss Jia waved his pen and said that Marvel is the investor of "Fantastic Four", and all the money is paid by Marvel itself, so respect Stan Lee's opinion.

Since the director can't do it, let Stan Lee go to the director himself, or simply Stan Lee himself as the director, and you just follow the orders of others with peace of mind!

This order made Daqian Movie stunned, a movie actually allowed the investor to interfere so much, then this movie really has no way to live, doesn't it make it clear that the money is thrown into the fire to burn?

However, Stan Lee was very happy, and he felt that Jia Yapeng was his confidant.

Of course, he was not confident enough to be a director, so he found a director from his friend who had made several commercials, but there was nothing to say, the filming period of the movie was delayed again and again, and it was enough to choke whether it could be released in 98.

In this regard, Boss Jia said that it doesn't matter, "Fantastic Four" was originally a movie to be smashed in the plan, and if "Fantastic Four" is not smashed, Stan Lee will not give up his interference in the movie.

And Marvel can't do without Stan Lee to command, anyway, it's very contradictory.

For various reasons, Daqian Pictures in 97 is much worse than in 96, and the data is also ugly, which makes many film companies around the world laugh.
