When 2012 finally arrived, rumors circulating online about the Mayans predicting the end of the world on December 12 became more active.

In fact, not many people believe it, it's just that it's passed around anyway, and one or two of them say that the Tao is like the truth, which is just a bit funny. Maybe some people think in their hearts, if it's true, then there is no need to work overtime, pay off loans, and find a girlfriend.

At the end of February, Villefort was the first to announce that Counter-Strike: Global Offensive had officially surpassed 8 million sales, making it one of the best-selling PC games of all time.

In fact, it is displayed on their Steam platform, and everyone can see that there is no need to announce it.

There is no suspense in the first place, Qingyu's "The Origin of Everything", this game has sold more than 45 million on the whole platform, how terrifying...... On the PC platform alone, there are 22 million, thanks to the home of the herring FG and the good official support for mods, this is one of the few games on all platforms where PC sales are higher than the console version.

And the herring has revealed in advance that it will announce the news of the mobile version of "The Origin of Everything" at the herring fish carnival next month, including PSV, 3DS, and more importantly, Apple App Store, Gu Ge Play, and its own herring app store. Everyone believes that the sales of "The Origin of Everything" on all platforms will usher in a wave of skyrocketing, especially on the mobile phone, with the influence of Qingyu as a pioneer in the mobile game market...... what will be the ultimate sales of "The Origin of Everything", 80 million? 100 million? Or more, who knows.

The Qingyu App Store is only a special supply for the national server, and in response to the chaotic Android market in China, there is not much intention to compete with Brother Gu Play in the world. There are some other third-party manufacturers who plan to launch their own app stores, such as Sansang, but they are based on their own mobile phone hardware, and Qingyu has no plans to make their own mobile phones.

But the second place was beyond people's expectations, Qingyu Network has not yet officially announced, "Paradise Lost" has sold 17 million units in nearly three months, this is a game sold on the pure FG platform...... The speed of the game's spread is really terrifying, and almost all players around the world eat chicken together for a while, and with the bonus of the Dragon's Eye platform, 17 million players have joined that battlefield.

Some people even began to discuss whether "Paradise Lost" is likely to surpass Qingyu's own "Eternal War" and become the first contemporary online game.

Although the two games are completely different, from the genre to the payment method, one is MOBA plus free, and the other is TPS (third-person shooting) plus paid buyout, but it seems that the popularity of "Paradise Lost" is also expanding much faster than "Eternal War" back then.

Including on the Longyan platform, in January this year, the top two games in terms of total game viewing time were "Eternal War" and "Paradise Lost", but the data still shows that there is a gap.

"Eternal War" has been watched for a total of 15.16 million hours, which is the total number of Longyan sites in all regions, and currently has more than 400 live broadcast rooms in six countries, with more than 3 million active viewers.

The second place "Paradise Lost" is 8.1 million hours, with about 240 live broadcast rooms and about 1.8 million viewers.

"Paradise Lost" is still too short to be launched, and it can only be said to be a good seedling.

Some Eternal War anchors will choose to broadcast "Paradise Lost" for a while after broadcasting for several hours every day to arouse the audience's tastes, and some small anchors who were originally unknown have become princes through "Paradise Lost", and their popularity has increased dramatically.

It may be interesting to see how Paradise Lost compares to Eternal War, but it's more obvious when compared to CS:GO.

By the way, the third place on this list is Villefort's, "CS: Origins" in '04, 8 years, 15 million sales.

So one thing to say, CS:GO's sales of less than 8 million in 3 months are brilliant enough, and Villefort must be very satisfied and even happy internally, and this series still has too many fans around the world.

However, compared with "Paradise Lost", the gap in sales between the two sides is about 9 million, and the viewing data on the Longyan platform also reflects this. CS:GO has been watched for a total of 3.4 million hours in January, and in mid-January, G Fat personally led the staff of Villefort to form a team of 5 blacks, swimming in the fish pond and killing all sides, which also dominated the headlines. At that time, Ye Shenxi did what he said, and personally brushed 10 "Legend of the Dragon" (known as Dragon Sniper) for G Fat, an exclusive gift for the CS area, which is equivalent to a military transport plane in the Paradise Lost area, all worth 99.99 US dollars, and it is also enough for the other party.

Steam used everything they could, but in terms of results, they were defeated. Paradise Lost and CS:GO, as well as the FG and steam wars, look like some dust has settled.

I even saw the direction of some Dota 2, which is about to be released and just went head-to-head with Eternal War.

This is an era of entertainment, and the number of "players" is swelling rapidly in this era, and the vast majority of them are light, entertaining, and casual users.

CS:GO is still too high a barrier to entry for too many casual gamers and live viewers, and many people can't understand the essence, so how can they watch it and applaud it. And players too, if you want to play well and get a sense of accomplishment from winning in the game, it takes too much energy to practice, but not many people have that perseverance and time, and no one likes to always fail, and they can't land in a box when they are abused by blood, and they still need to play 16 small games.

The group of people who serve themselves well and cater to the target users can get very nourishing, but if you want to conquer the world, it will be more difficult.

The herring knows how to accommodate everyone better than anyone else.

The last of the three online games in December last year, "Star Wars: The Old Republic", in fact, if you don't look at the other two, the results are still good. So far, 2.8 million copies have been sold, and according to EA data, 2.1 million of them have chosen to renew their subscriptions.

Previously, the Los Angeles Times disclosed (deliberately revealed by EA) that the total production cost of this game was $200 million, and it took more than 800 developers 6 years to complete it, in fact, as long as there are 1 million users and can stay for a year, EA can make a profit on this project. Star Wars IP is still a big hit in North America, even if there aren't so many PC players in North America.

In this regard, John Riccitiello, CEO of EA, made a self-evaluation of "the fastest growth rate of paying players in the MMO market".

In fact, this game is also the work that the Origin platform wants to turn over, but almost no one has mentioned this matter from beginning to end, compared to FG with 160 million registered users and steam with 103 million users, Origin because of the good performance of "Star Wars: The Old Republic", plus "Battlefield 3" and "FIFA12" have each reached 10 million sales, and the number of registered users of Origin has finally exceeded 9 million...... Congratulations. That's not to say the opposite, those 9 million people completed more than $100 million in transactions, helped EA Online's business unit soar 40% in revenue, and it seems that it is about to start turning around its losses.

In February 2012, all three games went their separate ways.

……

……

Li Yihui will also broadcast about 4 hours of "Paradise Lost" after "Eternal War", from the beginning of almost one or two rounds, to now the time of "Paradise Lost" has been the same as "Eternal War", and he has found his own way of live broadcasting.

He himself is not a person who can speak well, and how much humor he has during the live broadcast period, how to say it, he is a little dignified. used to have such a personality, but later when he became famous, he felt that he was also a social celebrity, so he was even higher.

He is also one of the Eternal War anchors who first started part-time in "Paradise Lost", and originally maintained a tepid popularity from the live broadcast when broadcasting "Eternal War", which is considered a big anchor, but there is still a certain distance from the top. After starting to broadcast "Paradise Lost", because he entered early, he knew how to study routines with the game talent of e-sports players, and he often changed his number to fight in the fish pond, and the chicken eating rate was extremely high, and the playing style was quite rigid. Basically, every time you put it down, even if you don't eat chicken, you can always make a seven or eight kills, and it is common to eat more than ten or twenty kills when eating chicken.

After being broadcast live for so long, I still learned some routines without a sense of humor.

One of the routines he likes to play now is to pretend to be new, generally ask the other party to bring it softly, shock the other party with a gun after the war, pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and then show his ID, the famous "Li Dazui", he has used this ID since the beginning of playing "Eternal War", and then admires each other's various kneeling and licking with the audience.

Recently, he hasn't been in very good shape.,Probably after the game has been in operation for a while.,The overall level has begun to improve.,He's not a professional FPS player after all.,There are certain flaws in marksmanship.,It's okay to play some tactics.,But he's still the same way of playing with a gun before.,It's been a collapse in the middle of several rounds in a row.。

In addition, there are a bunch of barrages in the live broadcast room, some of which are ridiculous, and some of which are also real rhythms, after all, there are many popular people, and it is very annoying to watch him.

After another game, the mood was really bad.

The solitary squad decided on where to jump, and he flew straight to another place, and after a little discussion turned into an argument, and then naturally began to curse.

"What's your situation? It's all said that the Flying Temple, you can go to school, tell us in advance, let's go together, why don't you fly over alone? Since the four rows follow the team's decision, it can't work. ”

"You know a chicken." For Li Yihui, this is actually not a curse, but he is too lazy to explain and tell the other party to shut up and stop a**.

"You've got a problem with your head, right?" Another teammate also said that all three were unhappy with him.

“***！” (Manual * non-shielding) Li Yihui's three-word national scolding flew directly over.

It's not typing, it's a direct verbal scolding battle.

Originally, Li Yihui graduated from university, not a famous school, but also a college, but in the past few years, the environment is like that, most professional players have not received much education, and they have also been mixed in Internet cafes since childhood, and they will be more or less infected with some bad atmosphere. After hearing and seeing, Li Yihui became more and more lazy to theorize, why bother to debate the problems that can be solved with simple scolding?

It's just such a fuse, a scolding war is about to break out, it looks like the four of them are the best, how ugly it sounds, anyway, it's nothing more than some family, organs and the like, you and I can't take care of the game, I found a deserted house in a remote mountainous area, and the four of them stood motionless, so they turned on the voice and scolded each other. It's all stubborn, in fact, it's okay to just quit, but it seems that they are really angry, and they have to scold themselves.

Some viewers are at a climax, who is afraid of a big deal when they watch the excitement, and one by one they add oil and vinegar to the flames, fanning the flames, they think this is the effect of the show, it is better than a gun.

Originally, Li Yihui was one against three, and he could only rely on his rich experience to support him, and later added more than 100,000 people in the live broadcast room to give advice, and the barrage frantically brushed the scolding ideas that were more ugly than the other party, and some directly provided scolding sentences, and he used them directly, and slowly did not fall behind.

Then he said, "Fool, do you know who Lao Tzu is?" ”

The other side said, "Who the are you?" ”

"Lao Tzu Li Dazui, have you played "Eternal War"?"

The three people on the other side were a little confused, they had still heard of this head, but the scolding war, the emphasis was on the momentum that could not be lost: "Eternal War Li Dazui?" Who is it? Haven't heard of it? Where does the garbage come from? ”

This sentence has no technical content, but it is really moving, and it is most commonly used by black fans of some entertainment stars.

"Come to Longyan, you can search for the room number directly, Lao Tzu has 150,000 people here, and I will kill you."

"You're going to kill me? I'm going to kill you! Do you dare to come out? ”

"Where are you, it's okay to report an address or phone number, I'm going to kill you, I'll do what I say."

"Who are you bluffing, like a big brother, how many calls do you dare to report?" Rhetorical question.

"Okay." Li Yihui said to the audience in the live broadcast room, "I'll tell you when I come back, or watch my Weibo." Then he turned off the live broadcast directly, he didn't reveal his phone number and address in front of more than 100,000 people, and he was at ease and quiet in the future, and the players who climaxed on the scene looked at the live broadcast room with no signal with a confused face, and many picked up their mobile phones and began to brush Weibo.

Li Yihui is actually not a person who likes to cause trouble, but in front of hundreds of thousands of viewers just now, he really can't get off the stage. After turning off the live broadcast, I wanted to calm down, but I ended up scolding a few words on the other side, one of which was "Waste in the online world!" It really stimulated him, and he couldn't stand it even more than the previous national scolding, because he knew that he was a successful person, and in reality, he also wanted the other party to know this.

His head was full of blood, and he had to say that he had lost his mind, but he felt that he also had a place for his senses.

He was thinking, if it was Li Yihui four years ago, if he encountered such a thing, he would just endure it, and he would hold his breath in his heart, and he would not be able to remember it for about a day or two or at most a week. But on what basis?

Why do you still have to suffer this kind of anger now, if you still have the same solution as you did four years ago, and swallow your anger and fight with your mouth, isn't it in vain? Who are you now, can't a few ants figure it out? I know those top rich second generations, and my assets add up to thousands of dollars, and the life of the upper class should not be like this.

Both parties have agreed on the time and place, which is very fateful, and they are both from Huangpu.

Li Yihui made a few phone calls, there is a rich second generation who has a relationship, some good friends, he wants to let the other side serve.

He went down to the garage underground and opened his car, a Ferrari F430, which no one knew was second-hand, well maintained and looked like new.

It cost him more than a million, and he didn't understand the parameters, but looking at the logo of the horse at the front of the car, he felt that he should do it.
