Chapter 134: How Did the Dinner Party Go from Joy to Terror?

Spore can indeed be said to be a milestone domestic game, and before that, few games have been able to go abroad; Even among the games that went abroad, no game has achieved such an achievement, and it has impressed two game rating sites at the same time.

Some foreigners are babbling to make the game "Spore" a god and worship it as a god, and many people interpret this game from different angles and from a philosophical level.

One of the hottest game videos at the moment, one is about "Spore", when someone spent a lot of effort to see the earth, and suddenly the video with tears in his eyes was uploaded to the Internet, and everyone laughed wildly at the same time, but also began to find out what the game in the video was.

This kind of related video is very self-propagating, and in just a few days, countless butlers have bought and tried the game.

Back in China, Li Lizhen's live broadcast was recorded as a video and spread on the Internet, and Li Lizhen's mouth full of jokes and chatting with meat and vegetables in the process of celebrity topic **** made people cry out that they were deceived, and they also began to pay attention to the game itself. The "Spore" in the video makes people see a completely different game, a completely different game category from the previous genre.

The next period of time is the period of word-of-mouth fermentation.

On Peacock Live, many people invariably began to broadcast this game live.

At the beginning, of course, Li Lizhen added fuel to the fire, and made an appointment with some anchors to broadcast this game. But then the situation changed, and many anchors took the initiative to start playing "Spore" and broadcast it live.

Peacock Live is currently the largest and only live broadcast platform in China, and many live broadcasts are directly recorded and then circulated on the Internet. Li Lizhen contributed the strongest blow in this process.

In the process of her live broadcast, she contributed countless memes and golden sentences, such as:

But they don't have a mess with me!

Sister Zhen was smoked to death by fart!

I'll lay an egg.

Invincible Bishoujo Planet or something.

This spread can be said to be almost exponential, although most ordinary players are still on the sidelines. As a domestic feature, many players are more accustomed to playing free games or pirated versions. Support genuine? Yes, but very little.

Comparatively speaking, because of the promise made at the new game press conference, college students can buy this game at a three-fold discount.

Looking at the data from the backend, I found that the number of players who bought the game at a discount was much higher than the number of players who bought it at a regular price.

Thirty dollars, for most student parties, is a very affordable game. And 99 yuan, relatively speaking, is not so friendly. For Liu Neng, this is not bad news, after all, the current college students will be the main force of consumption in the future. To gain a good reputation among these people, it will not take a few years to get some positive feedback.

Before the release, Zhang Yueyang and the staff of Daystar Game Studio said, "Although I don't know how many copies of our game will sell in the end, I make a big wish here, and for every 10W increase in sales, I will personally pay for everyone to rub together!" ”

Who would have thought that on the same day, the sales volume reached 10W copies twice.

After two meals of lunch and dinner, Zhang Yueyang felt a little sorry for his wallet. Everyone is happy to have a good meal, go out for a blind meal, and when you go out, you have an empty stomach. When I came back, I was all shy with my stomach and a toothpick in the corner of my mouth, and I came back very comfortably.

The next day, the 24-hour game sold more than 20W copies.

In three days, the game sold more than 50W copies.

In three days, I went out to eat together five times, and everyone felt that they seemed to have gained several pounds in a few days. But the meat is eaten by himself, and he doesn't feel uncomfortable at all when the meat grows, but he looks a little distressed when he looks at Zhang Yueyang's hard work, he spends his money so ruthlessly, he won't give himself small shoes to wear in the future, right?

Someone proposed, "Forget it, Boss Zhang's money is not blowing in the wind!" That's pretty much it! ”

"Get out! Have laborers eaten your rice? We eat Zhang's family's, I want you to feel distressed! ”

Sales are slowly increasing, but the momentum is weakening slightly. Domestic sales are relatively low, but they also contribute more than 1/4 of sales, which is already a great improvement.

In half a month, the sales exceeded one million.

Half a month for ten consecutive days, then everyone felt that something was wrong. Zhang Yueyang looked at the game data and sighed at the workstation, "No! It can't go on like this! ”

"Boss Zhang, don't look at it, if it goes on like this, no one's wallet can bear it! Maintain it here, otherwise it really won't work! ”

Zhang Yueyang was still shaking his head, looking up at Ye Qun, "I'm not talking about this, I think this data can be mentioned on the Internet again, contact the marketing department, let's get some more materials, contact some advertisers, by the way, contact game forums, and game critics, let's play a wave of advertising!" ”

"Advertising? Isn't this sales still good? ”

"That's definitely not going to work, I'm telling you, we're aiming for at least two million sales in the first month, and now this trend continues, it's definitely not good!" Zhang Yueyang swore and said, "Everyone prepare their stomachs, we will definitely be able to break 100,000 sales today, what do you say we will eat today?" How about hot pot? ”

"Don't come, don't come, Boss Zhang, I really can't eat!" Ye Qun was shocked, he had eaten the banquet in the past two days, and he was sick to his stomach when he saw the big fish and meat, and if he continued like this, he would have anorexia.

"It's really useless!" Zhang Yueyang looked around, and then asked the others, "Eat hot pot tonight, does anyone agree?" Who is against it? ”

"No, no, Brother Zhang, spare us!" Everyone raised their hands in surrender, and for the first time, they felt that this kind of dinner party did not seem to be such a good thing.

…………

In front of Liu Neng is a document about pirated games. The pirated game resources of "Spore" have appeared on the domestic 3dn platform. There are still domestic technology bosses, such as the previously unknown Zhou Zheng and Master Lu Fan, these are all technical masters. People who go further in technology actually like the geek spirit, like sharing, and like open source.

It is undeniable that some of these people's ideas are very advanced and communist, but in the current era, the productive forces are not so liberated, and many things will not work.

For example, the game "Spore", from development to official launch, took more than half a year, or when Liu Neng had already built the game framework. The salary of the employees for more than half a year, the publicity and promotion expenses after the launch, and the server costs for operating the creative workshop are all money. And where this money ends up coming from, it all comes from the players.

Maybe in the future, in the communist era, because everyone doesn't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, they can use love to make games for free. But after all, it's not communism now, and everyone still needs money.

Publishers of pirated resources are very hateful.
