In the days that followed, domestic gaming and internet media focused on Apple's App Store charts, which had just opened in China, but it was a strange pattern.

The top three are all occupied by game apps, and the App Store's charts are updated about 12 times a day (not necessarily, there are fluctuations), which means that in the last dozens of statistical periods, these three games have shown explosive download popularity.

The two games launched on September 14 by the Blue Fish Network actually squeezed into the top 10 on the day of launch, ranking 6th and 9th at the end of the day, and as their publicity efforts increased, the game also spread word of mouth among players, and now "Escape from the East China Sea" and "Dragon Sparrow Run" have climbed to 2nd and 3rd place.

At this time, the top of the list is occupied by another company that seems to be far less famous than Qingyu Network, Jetstar's "Fairy Journey".

The media have sighed, in the domestic game field, could it be said that with the advent of the mobile game era, the Qingyu network is dominant, and the scene of riding the dust will no longer exist?

"Since Pasca's debut, this refers to its official debut, and it seems that it has never been suppressed by other games and manufacturers, except for the indie game stage before the creation of the milestone, maybe Pasca himself is very unfamiliar with this feeling, what do you say? We are in second place??? The two games landed 2 or 3 people in four days, which is worth celebrating for other game producers and companies, but maybe not for Bluefish Network and Pasca. ”

On the Demonic Mountain online game portal, the editor used such a header to open the topic of mobile games, using Qingyu Network and their two mobile games, as well as Jetstar's "Fairy Journey" as an introduction, and began to introduce the ten most worthwhile mobile games to download at the moment, including "Angry Birds" and "Fruit Ninja".

In the domestic game circle, mobile games are still relatively niche, but with the development of hardware and the entry of giants, it is obviously the next outlet. What is an tuyere, you ask? Standing in that place, a pig can be blown into the sky, as long as a company joins in time, and then seizes the opportunity to make a work, it will definitely be able to make money.

"Did you see the App Store charts?"

"Look, the game of the boss has been surpassed."

"Is it the boss who did "Eternal War" and "The Origin of Everything" and "Getaway"? Herring Network? ”

"Yes, that's him."

"Are there any game companies in China that can do them? Which company is so powerful? ”

"It seems to be a game company in Yangcheng, called Jetstar, which used to make web games, and now it has also started to make mobile games."

In fact, in the era of mobile games at this time, innovative light games are still in charge, and new companies rely on a product to become an instant hit, and the order of the emerging field is far less clear than that of terminal games, stand-alone games, and console games.

Strictly speaking, in such an era, even if you don't rely on the list, it is normal to be able to accidentally make a hit to occupy the first place on the list, and the more nascent the field, the more turbulent it is.

It's just that the position of the herring fish network in the hearts of players is too high, and it seems that no matter what field it is, as long as it is related to the game, it must be the first place to be normal, otherwise it will be a failure.

Moreover, this itself is also the result of intentional public opinion guidance.

Those who have a heart include Jetstar, as well as media outlets that create topics to attract readers' attention and traffic. The media has always been like this, watching the excitement is not afraid of big things, fanning the flames, adding oil and vinegar, chasing after the wind and shadows, and not seeking to understand. For them, the truth is not so important until the events reach a certain level.

After the traffic brought by the event has accumulated enough, jump out and play a seeker who pursues the truth, tsk, fame and fortune.

This topic soon became the new favorite in the topic world.

……

……

The intensifying incident of being pressed by the total party is ......

Xia Qingyu did not respond to this kind of boring news topic in any public place, and also asked all the employees of Qingyu Network not to make any response, they just ignored it. The more positive they respond, the happier Jetstar and the media will be.

In the future, there will be no less such things, the cost and threshold of mobile game development will be greatly reduced, more and more small teams and newcomers will enter the game, and the number of game teams across the country will show explosive growth. When the time comes, a small company will come forward to refute and condemn the popularity of the herring network...... That's really because I can't get along with myself, and I can't do my job anymore.

However, she also got marketing staff in direct contact with Apple's moderation team, which she did by pressuring the App Store review team on the company's behalf. From the day the App Store was born, or any ranking that can bring benefits, increase exposure, and attract users, it will be indissoluble with the behavior of swiping the list.

In any field, there must be more people who want to take shortcuts than honest people.

Apple's attitude is naturally against it, and it does not advocate such behavior, but in the past, they have been too mild.

They have been fighting against the list swipers for a long time, but the previous practice was nothing more than to modify the algorithm of the leaderboard quickly after it was cracked and used by a large number of cheaters, so that it could maintain a clean period of time.

Over and over again, over and over again.

But it didn't last long, put a fortress in the most conspicuous place for people to besiege, and soon it would be cracked again, and then it would be attacked in a new way, and the fortress would naturally fall again.

In the email sent to Apple's review team, the company was not specified, but rather reflected the unscrupulous behavior in China. In fact, it's not just Jetstar and "Gods and Ghosts", they don't use internal data, the staff of the marketing department of Qingyu Network compared all the products in the top 50 on the free list, and found that at least 8 of them belong to the type of brush that is not rigorous enough, and the data of a product fluctuates greatly, and they are not even of the same magnitude.

These 8 apps are not all games, there are also other types of products, and even some of them are launched by relatively well-known Internet companies. It's just that it doesn't have to be at the top of the list like Jetstar.

I really don't know if I don't know that the intelligence and sensitivity of this group of people to the market are also very likely to succeed if they go to do business honestly.

In their email, they described these phenomena in a tougher, slightly harsher way: "Defending only breeds the arrogance of rule-breakers, and sometimes the effect of deterrence is far greater than tolerance." ”

They also very generously shared their experience of fighting cheats and fighting cheat gangs in "Eternal War". Of course, it is impossible for Apple to go to the nest of people who brush the list and provide the list service to arrest people, and the laws of various countries are still very vague and imperfect in this area, but it is more positive to show their own attitude, rather than blindly revising their bottom line.

This girl is really angry.,If you want to brush it, you can brush it.,She doesn't care if it's not her own FG on the App Store.,Although it's a little annoying to brush it in front of her.,But she's not so unreasonable Xia Qingyu.。

But why do you want to tie yourself up?

What annoys her the most are those self-proclaimed modest advertorials, as well as the sailors who are waving flags and shouting below.

Eminem, the head of the App Store review team, directly convened an internal meeting of the department members after receiving the communication email from the Blue Fish Network, which he had already thought of for a long time. Apple's organizational structure is strange, it's really a bit like an Apple, unlike many other Internet and technology companies that are divided into various product divisions, even if the iPhone and iPad are now popular and popular, there is no dedicated iPhone or iPad division.

Each department is formed into a circle around the CEO, directly reporting to the top leader, and each of their products is completed by each department working together.

The theme of the conference was how to deal with the growing number of lawless cheaters around the world and combat unscrupulous cheating.

At first, the App Store also needed to face the problem of global promotion, and it needed a large number of developers to join, and it was relatively tolerant of various developers, just like in the early days of the ancient armed uprising, the generals under their command were also mixed, and it was good to have one more person to contribute.

But now it's different, the App Store has become the world's most influential mobile app store, and it's time to go with a boutique strategy.

What they are facing is not only the China zone that has just opened, but also other regions that have been circling for many years, but the Chinese side on the other side of the ocean seems to be particularly reckless, unconcealed, and fearless...... Honestly, it's a bit shocking.

In a show of hands, 70 per cent of members indicated that more drastic measures could be taken.

The arrogant Apple doesn't think it's been touched by the herring network, but it can only say that they have wanted to change it for a long time, and the herring network is just one of their tens of thousands of developers around the world, although this company has a lot of weight in the gaming field.

Eminem immediately decided to report the results of their discussions to his superiors, and began to review the rankings in several countries and regions.

……

The number of followers of the herring network is huge, and the loyalty is very high. No matter what industry there will be, there will be god-making sports, such as Pele and Maradona for football, Jordan for basketball, Sampras before tennis and Federer later; Senna before F1 and Schumacher later.

In all aspects of this field, we hope to create a god and drive the development of the entire industry.

In China's gaming circle, the herring fish network plays this role. Here it is on par with the aforementioned gods, because they have never been defeated before. The king who has not tasted defeat is more likely to be deified and attract a large number of fans.

People always hope that the idol they worship is the strongest in his field, undefeated, at least most of them are, the worship of the strong is the nature of all living beings, and there will even be a sense of substitution, when the idol wins, the follower will be happy, and the idol will be blue and thin when it is frustrated. You can say that they are champion fans or something, but because of their admiration, they will also play the game of the herring network, and the more they play, the more they worship.

Although the company has always taken the mass route, the loyalty of their fans can be compared to some game manufacturers that make niche or hardcore games, even if people often say that niche fans are die-hard.

Soon, the fans of the Blue Fish Network posted a long article on the video game forum, which was that the players in the group's Blue Fish online game fan group of the forum were eager to collect information, and then asked Ji Xiaofo, the moderator of the "Eternal War" section, to edit the post and dig out the bottom of Jetstar.

In the age of the Internet, many things are not difficult to check. In the article, the history of this company is very clearly presented.

"As early as 07 September, Jetstar Network's first game is "Gods and Ghosts Immortal Road", the whole game is almost exactly the same as the original version of "Immortal Road", whether it is career division, growth system planning, the core gameplay of nine-square grid battles, and even details to some "life grid" such a system packaging. ”

At that time, there was a somewhat ridiculous statement that the game was not directly obtained from the planning of the herring network, but there was no clear evidence, and the game was facing public opinion for their "plagiarism". ”

Ji Xiaofo also posted a screenshot of the discussion on the forum at that time.

"In November of the same year, "Gods and Ghosts and Immortals" changed a large number of system packages and re-launched, and after that, the monthly turnover basically remained at about 5 million."

"In April of the following year, Jetstar was the first manufacturer to produce pop-up ads, and the earliest screenshot was on April 13, 08, as shown in the picture: [picture]." The picture shows a small window in the lower right corner of a small website, showing the charming Diao Chan in "Dynasty Warriors 5", but the text is "Gods and Ghosts Fairy Path".

After all, he was the first person to eat this crab.,It's honest.,It's only 08 years at that time.,Where is it like a game company in the future.,Not only use other people's game screens.,Even the game name on the advertisement didn't let go.。

Now they can borrow the picture of the appearance of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi in "Getaway", and the text also reads, "Level 1 recruits the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and level 10 opens the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array!" "As a result, it's a modern warfare strategy game that builds tanks and planes!

It's really fun......

The devil knows where this group of netizens got the webpage at that time, maybe they felt novel and wanted to take screenshots at the time, or they viewed the website in some historical interfaces, in short, it was so versatile.

"Relying on this promotion method, "The Journey of Gods and Ghosts" quickly exceeded 10 million, 20 million, and 30 million." Attached is a screenshot of the celebration press release issued by Jetstar's official self.

"In August 08, the monthly turnover of "Gods and Ghosts" exceeded 40 million, but at that time, some media reported that this game had self-recharge behavior, and Jetstar recharged about 10 million to its own game every month, but it was also not confirmed. In September of the same year, Jetstar launched two more web games, one imitating "Proud Sword" and the other imitating "Seven Heroes". ”

"In October, Jetstar received an angel investment of 60 million yuan from Cai Linsheng, a well-known investor, and cooperated with three other local web game companies in Yangcheng to build its own web game operation platform, cloud games."

"Cloud games have rapidly grown into a representative platform for China's southern web games, and up to now, there are as many as 19 web games in operation on the platform, of which 12 have a monthly turnover of more than 10 million."

"In April last year, some media revealed that Lin, the head of the cloud game department, approved the game to land on the cloud game platform, and threatened the person in charge of the R&D manufacturer to receive private kickbacks, otherwise he refused to sign a contract with the game...... The person in charge of the developer angrily disclosed the details anonymously to the game media, in addition to the seventy-third share of the contract (cloud seven, developer three), he had to take out an additional 10% of his income every month, and he had to give 5% of his personal agency fee before agreeing to sign the contract. ”

"In October 09, the cloud game was successfully listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange......

The post was sprinkled with thousands of words, and almost every piece of content had screenshots of the news at the time as "evidence......
