"Using Warcraft as a platform?" After listening to Yang Chen's words, Xu Yu's first thought was this.

According to what Yang Chen said, isn't it actually using "Warcraft" as a carrier and platform?

"No, it's just an additive, but maybe the vitality of this additive head is longer than the game itself." Yang Chen shook his head.

"Actually, there is only one key question, and that is why players are willing to pay for mods, or if they have always paid for mods, and what do they get by spending money on them." Xu Yu looked at Yang Chen and said.

"What we have purchased is richer game content, and mod makers can also reap material reciprocal gains, we are just acting as a regulator of the environment, and at the same time take a certain share as the cost of daily operations." Listening to Xu Yu's words, Yang Chen said as a matter of course.

Shaking his head, Xu Yu said: "In the free game, the officially sold numerical weapons can allow players to clear the customs faster and make players stronger; In competitive games, players can buy skins to get more special and let players know that they are different. ”

Yang Chen seemed to have an understanding: "Special? ”

"The content of the game map can be given to players as an add-on, but it is definitely not the main money that players spend money on." Xu Yu looked at Yang Chen and said.

"For example, a Three Kingdoms-style map, players can play it directly regardless of whether they buy it or not, and in the map, players can choose to buy special hero skins, such as special models, skill icons, and even special effects and dubbing." nodded, and then Xu Yu added.

"If you have to pay, you should get something, and mod makers need to have treatment that meets their rights, but the key is that the concept of MOD=free has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, just like piracy in the early years to the improvement of the law on the one hand, so that the piracy industry is almost disappearing, and can only be hidden in the dark, but more importantly, the user experience brought by the genuine version." Xu Yu said to Yang Chen.

"And the MOD charge is not excessive, and it can even be said to be reasonable, after all, this is the labor paid by the MOD maker, but the key is how to make players think it is worth it, why do some players think that it is not worth it to buy a content-rich 3A masterpiece, but they will recharge a single 648 in the mobile game that far exceeds the price of the 3A masterpiece?" Xu Yu smiled at Yang Chen and said, "Because in the hearts of most players, they think that the game content should be free, and the virtual props are the private products they get by buying, and in their eyes, the game content represents the content that is not worth spending money to buy." ”

Listening to Xu Yu's words, Yang Chen nodded slightly, he may know about games, but his understanding of the market is far inferior to Xu Yu, which is something he must admit.

"According to Mr. Yang's idea, let the MOD and map makers have the income they deserve, so that they have enough motivation to make more interesting content, we need a camouflage point to let players understand one thing, the fee is still not the MOD but their skin, special effects, voice, and even if there is no voice effect, they can continue to play and experience the plot and all the gameplay." Xu Yu looked at Yang Chen and said.

"But I always feel like it's a little bit different." Yang Chen understood that what Xu Yu was talking about was the current situation in the game industry, but he couldn't accept it.

"Then leave the choice to the player, and the mod maker, this is the best way to do it; Generating electricity for love doesn't want their MOD works to be tied to money, it's their choice; It is the personal choice of players and makers to link the content of the MOD map with virtual products such as skin appearance and special effects, so as to form profit income; Simply selling map content, all of this is up to players and makers to choose. Xu Yu looked at Yang Chen and said with a smile.

"Give them an environment." Yang Chen suddenly brightened.

continued to discuss a lot of things with Xu Yu, and then on the second day, Yang Chen announced the establishment of a new department within Nebula Games and began to recruit people.

The working department responsible for content moderation with the MOD community.

And when Yang Chen began to form the MOD community, in the eyes of all players, the latest promotion of "Warcraft" has also been launched.

Not only players, but also gamers in the industry are setting their sights on this project of Warcraft.

RTS type of games? What kind of game did Nebulas Games make?

Something like Red Alert? Or is it a separate triple-A project?

Everyone is looking forward to it.

At the same time, under the attention of players, the release date and price of "Warcraft" have also been officially announced, and pre-orders are accepted on major game platforms.

Overseas, UEgame has already contacted Nebula Games in advance, but Yang Chen and they have not immediately accepted UEgame's conditions.

Because "Warcraft" is more complicated than before, the custom map MOD community, and the exclusive operation of their Nebula Games in China are naturally not much of a problem.

But in the case of overseas agents, UEgame is willing to set up such a team to deal with the laws of various regions and review the content, which is the main problem at present.

However, Yang Chen didn't pay too much attention to this, because as long as the sales of "Warcraft" in China are good enough, then these problems are not a problem.

As for the price of the game itself, Yang Chen is priced according to half of the traditional 3A masterpiece, that is, 198 yuan.

Compared to the development cost and content quality of the game itself, this price can be said to be very cheap, but this price is at the level of the pyramid in RTS games.

Because of the RTS type of games themselves, there are few large-cost productions.

As soon as this price came out, it immediately aroused the discussion of countless players.

"Isn't it! So expensive!? More than 60 more expensive than the old RTS game "Empire Far Away"! ”

"With the reputation of Nebulas Games, such a high price must indicate that it is worth the money! After all, it was also an RTS type game before, and "Red Alert" was only a few dozen pieces. ”

"When The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim was first released, although it was discounted, the price was also 198!? Could it be that this game can compete with The Elder Scrolls Online? ”

"I think a little bit of this is said, it seems that Nebula Games except for the "Resident Evil" series, other 3A masterpieces are all about 200 at this price! Although "Metal Gear Solid: Phantom Pain" is said to be as expensive as a mainstream 3A masterpiece, a series of discounts, including pre-order discounts, are basically about 200! ”

"RTS type 3A? It sounds a bit unreliable, how does RTS do 3A? Isn't it just a class duel? ”

Countless people began to discuss in the game community, and although the pricing caused a lot of controversy, there were not many voices saying that Nebula Games was just bad money.

This is entirely due to the good reputation of Nebula Games, which has produced a large number of fans of Nebula Games, although they are quite skeptical in their hearts, but before the facts are in front of them, they will have no brains to maintain the reputation of Nebula Games.

Yang Chen didn't know about the controversy between the player groups, because he was still busy with the team about the content of the map editor and the formation plan of the subsequent mod community.
