Chapter 794: Endure the calm for a while, take a step back, and the more you think about it, the more angry you become
In UEgame's office, Grayson looked at the latest data report in his hand, and the whole person was excited and depressed.
The excitement lies in Ethan's side of Epex, and although they look like a menacing "Star Wars" performs well, they don't seem to be enough in front of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".
Although Star Wars' stats are steadily rising, even its own gamers, although affected by PUBG.
But in reality, the impact is not particularly large, because this is itself a game with two different modes.
At the beginning, Apex Games also carried out large-scale publicity on various channels, trying to make "Star Wars" more popular than "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".
But as time goes by, Epex Games is constantly throwing money at the game, so that the popularity of "Star Wars" remains the same, but on the other side, "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" does not cost a dime, and there are countless streamers and third-party video authors, as well as game media websites to promote it.
After all, "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is really good on the live broadcast platform and the video platform.
The first is the relaxed rhythm of the game itself, and the live broadcast itself is to ask the anchor to interact with the audience, and games such as "Star Wars" are fast-paced and require the player's attention, basically the time of interaction is only before the game starts and the game ends or after you die.
But "PUBG" is different, the looting of materials in the early stage, as well as the turning point in the middle, can provide effective interaction.
Another point is that the audience's sense of participation and substitution is also much stronger.
In traditional FPS games, in most cases, the audience's sense of substitution is nothing more than the anchor playing a beautiful operation, swiping 666 all over the screen; or when the gun is opposed, the screen is full of vegetables, and the sunset is red; There is also the title of being attacked by others and giving a knife, brushing a whetstone.
In "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", the audience's sense of participation and substitution is much stronger.
For example, when searching for something, I missed something; After being beaten, the audience heard the other party's location from the gunshot, and then the anchor still didn't find it.
At the same time, it is the production of entertainment videos, with all kinds of vehicles, as well as the mechanism of the large map, and the enemies can also talk to each other, plus the game itself Yang Chen and his team have added some special content for entertainment, if you deliberately make funny videos.
"PUBG" is much easier than ordinary FPS games, and these videos, combined with the popularity and fun of the game itself, can be said to complement each other.
This is also the reason why Apex games have never been able to surpass PUBG in popularity while spending money.
Being able to make Ethan angry with each other is why Grayson is happy.
But the frustrating part is that PUBG is a game based on their True War.
And judging from the content in "PUBG", the house building, the feel of the guns, the sound effects, and even the modeling of some map materials, as well as the action, physical effects, etc., are all developed based on the content of "Real War".
It can be said that except for some of the exterior content, the entire game framework is developed according to "Real War".
Even Grayson himself didn't expect that on the basis of "True War", simplifying some of the systems, and at the same time matching the gameplay of the battle royale mode, could burst out with such terrifying power.
Although "PUBG" is a free-to-play game, the appearance of the fee makes him not lose money at all.
There are even many players who have played "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" as a Jedi Nuan, is it important to kill people and eat chickens?
The important thing is how to match it beautifully.
But it's for these reasons that their UEgame is a bit of a bad time.
was originally on the rise, and even exceeded the all-time high market value, but with the popularity of the Nebula game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", the market value of their UEgame actually fell.
Why?
Who made you UEgame make "Real War" just scum, and then sold it to Nebula Games and then turned on the offensive?
How does this make investors optimistic about you?
Just when Grayson was in a very complicated mood, the mobile phone next to him rang, and he glanced at the caller ID Grayson's originally unhappy face smiled.
Isn't this an old friend Ethan!
Is this a chance to give yourself a chance to be yin and yang, and to improve your mood?
"Ethan, long time no see! Congratulations, the Star Wars redo was a real success! I've read your latest stats bulletin, and I'm almost half of Battlefield's users! A smile crossed Grayson's face.
Since you have decided to be yin and yang, then hit the most sore spot in your opponent's heart.
The anger of the enemy is the source of one's own happiness.
Along with Grayson's words, Ethan on the other end of the phone didn't seem to feel angry at all, but instead let out a hearty smile: "Haha, no, no, no, not to mention "Battlefield", it's not as good as your UEgame, although it has lost a lot of losses in the previous consecutive Apex games, but it's not as strong as your UEgame!" Calculate the market value and lose billions directly! But it doesn't matter, after all, you UEgame family has a big business! And "True War" also sold a lot of money, which is a big profit! After all, it is a money-losing thing to keep in your hands, and it takes a lot of money to operate the server! ”
Grayson's face stiffened slightly: "Average, average, after all, we have a very good relationship with Nebula Games!" Half sold and half sent, everyone is a good partner. ”
"Yes, envy! Our Epex is a bit of a hard time, and we have encountered Nebula Games several times in a row, and there is also the monster of "GTA" during the period, but fortunately, this time our "Star Wars" redo is not a failure, and it is a project that can be handled in the near future! Ethan said with a laugh.
After a simple two-minute call, in the conference room of Apex Games, Ethan hung up the phone and made up for it in his head, Grayson's face couldn't help but let out a burst of pig laughter, he felt that the whole person's mood had become a lot happier!
The fact that it can't surpass "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" in terms of popularity doesn't seem to be so difficult to accept!
On the other hand, Grayson, who had a very ugly face, exhaled a few deeply.
You can't be angry, you can't be angry because the other party is prepared.
People are mixed in the rivers and lakes, how can they not be stabbed.
Isn't it just that I was angry with yin and yang?
It's not a big problem, it's not a big problem!
But after taking a few deep breaths, Grayson found out.
Endure the calm for a while, take a step back, and the more you think about it, the more angry you become.
Now his mind was full of Ethan's weird tone.
Glancing at the time, Grayson silently took out the phone that was stuffed back into his pocket, and then found a familiar number in the address book.
It's time, help!
