Chapter 153: Are You Crazy? (3 more subscriptions)
In NetDragon's office, Ma Lei, as the CEO, is in a very good mood, and his consecutive games have performed well this year.
Lin Jiayi tried a triple-A game for the first time in Chang'an Studio, although it did not sell well, but the profit was also very considerable; At the same time, the recently developed triple-A game "Shadow Legend" is also very good in terms of revenue, and the follow-up "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" in cooperation with Nebula Games will be released, which will also be an important revenue point.
Although "Sword and Sorcery" has been surpassed on the turnover list, after all, it is a game released two years ago, and it is only a matter of time before it is surpassed, and more importantly, the revenue of its own game has not been affected.
Ma Lei, who was in a happy mood, leaned back on the chair in the office and stretched, this quarter is another beautiful financial report, Ma Lei showed a smile on his face, and took out a bottle of canned coffee from the refrigerator in the office.
But just then, the phone on the table rang, and I glanced at the caller ID from the game publishing department.
It should be about Nebula Games, Ma Lei's smile was brighter, and he answered the phone.
Listening to the explanation on the phone, the smile on Ma Lei's face gradually disappeared: "Impossible!" Nebula games are making trouble? The price is 128 yuan, then we have to sell at least 4 million copies to be able to return to the cost, they are crazy! ”
"Multi-player in-app purchase program? That's not too low! ”
"You don't care about this matter, I'll take care of it!"

In the office of Nebula Games, Yang Chen looked at Xu Yu who put down his mobile phone with a face and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "NetDragon's side is in trouble, if it weren't for the game development with NetDragon's technology and team to join, I wouldn't have cooperated with him if I could be a little better." ”
In the final communication with NetDragon, the price of the game was 198 yuan, of course, this is the price when players buy it, and it is really reported in the official review and the price of the official platform is still 328 yuan for normal 3A games.
It's just that they have a special event, called Nebula Games' first anniversary of the establishment of the limited-time game reduction activity, of course, it also has to mention NetDragon, as for NetDragon's promotional excuse is the summer game discount, which is also an activity that major manufacturers have had, but this time NetDragon added a "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim".
As for why the price is 198 yuan, which is almost half the price less than that of 3A games, Yang Chen's explanation to NetDragon is to focus on multiplayer mode, attract more players to buy the game and then enter the multiplayer mode, and use the charm of multiplayer mode to let players buy, buy, buy.
But there is another strategy that Yang Chen didn't say, that is, they put their idea on NetDragon's "Sword and Magic".
As a game developed by NetDragon two years ago, the success of "Sword and Sorcery" is obvious to all, although its profit has been surpassed by "Biochemical Survival", but it is still the second position in China.
It's just that perhaps because of the previous strength of "Biochemical Survival", the operation team of "Sword and Magic" wanted to prove that they were the best, and carried out several krypton gold activities in a row before, although this increased the game's turnover revenue a lot, and even surpassed "Biochemical Survival" at some times when the event first came out, but then the sudden collapse of the game balance led to the abandonment of many players.
It is also because of this that NetDragon seems to have begun to set up a project to prepare for the development of "Sword and Sorcery 2", which has led to a significant slowdown in the content update progress of "Sword and Sorcery" itself.
It's a good time to dig into the wall!
As for saying that it is not as perfect as Yang Chen thought, Yang Chen and the others are not worried about this, because NetDragon only has the domestic distribution right, and Yang Chen still firmly grasps the overseas distribution right.
For example, well-known overseas game publishers such as UEGA, Power Blizzard, and WSGA are very interested in The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim.
With the quality of the game of The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, Yang Chen didn't believe that this game would die a violent death.

As the time enters July, in the enthusiastic expectation of players, Tenghua and Phoenix's "Fantasy" and "King's Sword" have been promoted, and while online promotion, major domestic first-tier cities such as subways, or giant billboards in commercial plazas have their game advertisements.
And "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" is not idle, both online and offline, and some of the settings and gameplay in the game have also been revealed.
At the same time, it also includes plans such as OD opening, the official will provide special OD creation tools, and even OD makers can also carry out terrain, missions and even modify the battle mode.
After such a news was released, many folk OD makers couldn't help but feel some interest in "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim".
Most of these OD makers are interested in a certain game and enter the OD production industry, or they are practitioners in the game industry, using their free time to generate electricity with love, or develop OD to accumulate experience.
In an OD group, a group of do makers are discussing.
"Did you see that? It seems that Nebula Games' new work "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" is very supportive of OD, and the official said that it will also release tools specially developed for OD makers. ”
"It's kind of interesting, but don't be like other games, you can only replace the model, costumes and other small details in the end."
"It's probably possible, after all, it's a triple-A game."
"Forget it.,Let's take a look when the time comes.,An od developed before has also been completed.,It's just a new game to practice hands.,If there's more open permissions.,Just pick it.。
Regarding the news that Nebula Games released that the game will support OD, in the "King's Sword" studio of Phoenix Games, the main producer Ye Bin chuckled and shook his head: "OD? At best, it's just a replacement of the character's model, or a few different outfits, so how many players can be attracted? ”
"And the skills of OD makers are uneven, and some garbage OD can even cause problems with games and even machines." Ye Bin shook his head.
For Nebula Games and NetDragon's promotion of the OD elements of "The Elder Scrolls Online: Skyrim", there was basically not much movement, including the players, who did not express much expectation.
But soon, with an official announcement from NetDragon and Nebula Games, countless players exploded in an instant, and Tenghua and Phoenix also exploded.
To celebrate the first anniversary of Nebula Games, The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim will be launched on July 21st, and the limited-time offer is only 198 yuan! ’
This is the official promotion of Nebula Games.
NetDragon announced that "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" will join NetDragon's summer special games, with a limited-time price of 198 yuan!
After this news was sent, the players exploded with joy.
Tenghua and Phoenix were shocked.
You're crazy!
