Chapter 1415: Temple Escape

When Temple Run first launched, it naturally didn't receive any attention, and there were almost no stores willing to sell the game.

After all, it is impossible for a game store to buy a copy of all the games and put them in the warehouse.

According to the rules of the Steam Game Store, all Steam game stores must stock SS, S, A, and B games, and keep them in stock.

For games below B-level, C-level, D-level, and E-level, this game store can decide whether to purchase according to their own needs, and Daqian Games does not make mandatory requirements.

"Temple Run" because the quality of the game picture is too bad, basically no different from the later Flas***, it is the relationship between several character textures, so it was operated by the Steam game store, and it was positioned as an E-level game.

According to the official explanation of the game, the E-level game is a game that does not have too many bugs and can be played normally.

This may sound like a normal thing, but looking at the D-Class's explanation, "The game works and has a certain amount of brilliance to make the player happy!" ”。

Anyone who is a fool can see how terrible the reviews of this E-class game are. The translation is "This game is playable, but there is nothing fun about it." ”

Of course, a thick catalog of Steam games is bound to include the game and hang it on the wall of the Steam Game Store. If you read the catalogue yourself, you can still find such a game called Temple Run in game stores all over the world.

However, after the game was released, there were only a few Steam game stores in Pakistan that had the game on the shelves, and there were no other Steam game stores in the world.

And most of Pakistan's steam game stores are also looking at the rare discovery of a game developed by a domestic person, so they can't help but let the other party suffer the bitter fruit of zero sales, and plan to encourage the other party, make persistent efforts, and don't let the Pakistani game industry disappear completely or something.

After all, according to the rules of the Steam Game Store, all game cartridges are printed and manufactured, although Daqian Games can be responsible for them, but the cost and production costs of the cassette are the responsibility of the game's producer, and Daqian cannot be made for free.

Otherwise, Daqian will be able to lose himself to death just by creating some garbage game cards.

And this Pakistani game developer is actually very pitiful, scraping together $200 and reaching a minimum of 100 prints, so that Daqian can print 100 cassette tapes.

Well, such a lost amount is only enough to eat in such a market as Pakistan.

Considering that this is a game developed by their own countrymen, several steam game stores in Pakistan are still very interesting, and they have given publicity in the store, saying that there is finally a handheld game developed by Pakistanis themselves.

People in any country are looking forward to their own country becoming strong, and Pakistani players are no exception, and when they find out that there is a game developed in their own country, they all generously donate money and buy a game.

Anyway, this game is not expensive, because the game itself is very small, only about 2MB, so you only need to buy the smallest TF game card, which is about five dollars a piece.

Although this price is also very expensive in Pakistan, those who can afford to buy a game handheld in Pakistan will not lack the $5.

Then, all 100 cartridges were sold out in just 5 days, and Pakistani players continued to run to the Steam game store to ask when the next batch of games would be on sale!

Only then did the Pakistani shop owner realize that there was really a good future for developing this game in his own country?

So they took the initiative to contact Daqian Games and offered to print 1,000 copies, and the money could be paid by the store, and they estimated that the developers of the game would probably not be able to pay for it!

Then these 1,000 copies of the game, within a month, sold out in Pakistan's domestic market, and became the best-selling domestic game in the whole of Pakistan in one fell swoop.

In addition to the $200 rebate for the cost of the previous game printing, the Pakistani developer also received a $1,650 profit share from the profits of 1,100 game cartridges.

According to the latest sharing plan, all game profits of the Steam game store are distributed according to the ratio of 30% of Daqian Games, 20% of the game store side, and 50% of the game developer.

This indie game developer instantly entered the high-income group in Pakistan.

But that's just the beginning, the Steam Game Store has a complete system for selecting games, and one of the rules is that when the store offers to reprint a game, it has to re-examine the game's potential.

Then the game was re-examined by three game reviewers.,They scolded the first review for being a pig's head.,At the same time, the game was changed from an E-level to a C-level rating.,Directly up two levels.,But it's not to the point where all game stores must be stocked.,After all, the game itself is too simple.。

However, Steam Games tentatively took the initiative to launch the game's cartridge in more than 20 countries around the world, in a total of more than 200 stores, and gave it a more prominent position.

Although at the beginning, the sales of these game cartridges were worrying, but after half a month, all the game cartridges were sold out, and many players took the initiative to come over to ask if there was any bad "Temple Run" game sales.

After that, the steam game was restocked three times, adding up to more than 12,000 copies, and all of them were sold out, and each time it sold out faster than the other, and the third restock, it was all sold out in one day.

So, Temple Run welcomed his third review, and this time there were 10 game reviews to try out the game.

After a day of playing, the 10 game reviewers first scolded the previous three reviews for being pigs, and then adjusted the game's rating from C to B.

This means that all Steam game stores in the world must be stocked with at least 10 discs.

However, at this time, the owners of these steam game stores, basically through internal channels, heard about such a game that changed the rating of the game three times in three months, and they were naturally very interested in this game, and the 100,000 game cartridges prepared in the fourth batch of steam games were quickly divided by game stores around the world.

Many game media also know the news, a game that has risen from the lowest E rating to a B rating in three months, this is the first time since the opening of the Steam game, this is the best material!

As a result, "Temple Run" has also become the object of truth reports from various game media, and it became an instant hit, everyone is full of curiosity about this game, 100,000 copies were only sold for three days, and all of them were sold out.

And then there's the greatest wonder in the history of steam games.
