"Insecticide War" is on fire, completely on fire - from video to live broadcast, from Moments to Weibo...... For a while, it seemed that the news of "Insecticide War" was everywhere.

The previous stand-alone version of "Extermination War" had many advantages - such as the extremely advanced graphics algorithm, and even the number of polygons could be reduced to reduce the configuration requirements; Another example is that the image quality of the high-spec runtime greatly surpasses its status as an indie game, and it is fully worthy of its price of more than $30......

However, the stand-alone version of "Extermination War" still has many drawbacks of indie games, such as the game time is relatively short, there is a lot of repetitive content, and there is basically no world view...... Wait a minute.

Although there is no plot for players to dig deeper, and there is no complex system for players to study, overall, the performance of the stand-alone version of "Extermination War" is very good, although there are shortcomings, but the flaws are not hidden, which is why such a game with no publicity has directly sold nearly 10 million points.

However, when the online version of Extermination War was officially released, everything changed.

The rich experience tutorial makes it very easy for players who have not played before and those who have already played it to get started with this game.

Countless storylines to explore and a rich world view allow traditional single-player RPG players to find a new continent.

From the free character customization system (face pinching) to personalized power armor liveries, and even the gun modification system and rich vehicle modification content, all the parts that can be sold as DLC are all available to players for free!

That's right, as long as you've purchased the standalone version of Extermination, you'll automatically get all the online content!

There's no more conscientious game developer than this - what costumes, what liveries, all can be customized!? Instantly cut off the possibility of selling various skins and boxes in the future!

The price of the new online version of "Extermination War" remains the same after its launch, while the price of the old "Insect War" stand-alone version has changed to 1 yuan - whether it is denominated in euros and dollars or yuan, it is 1 yuan.

The reason for the significant reduction in the price of the stand-alone version of "Extermination War" is mainly to attract pirated players to the genuine version, and only by expanding the audience can more pilot seeds be screened.

That's right...... Even with the backing of alien technology, the stand-alone version of "Extermination War" still has piracy, which is also a helpless thing. Again, as long as the earth technology is still used, it is an impossible task to eliminate piracy and plug-ins from the software.

After the price reduction was greatly reduced, the players who originally purchased the stand-alone version of "Extermination War" naturally had no complaints, because they had received the maximum compensation, and potential players who had felt that it was too expensive to buy it were also attracted by the extremely low price - isn't it just a dollar, buy it and try it.

Because of this, not only has the online version of "Extermination Wars" skyrocketed in purchases, but even the stand-alone version has sold millions of additional copies!

Even if you don't count the stand-alone version after the price reduction, the sales of the normally priced "Insecticide War" have exceeded 25 million copies in just over half a month! And the numbers are growing!

This sales volume also means more than 500 million dollars in revenue! Although 30% of it is also shared with the steam platform, plus development and maintenance costs...... But even after removing all kinds of costs, Bluestar's profit still exceeds 300 million US dollars!!

At the current exchange rate, it is close to 2 billion yuan of net income! Mind you, this is pure cash income!!

It is no wonder that some people say that in the new century, another industry whose profits are comparable to that of arms and drugs is the entertainment industry...... Even the financial geniuses of the white wolf with empty gloves are almost impossible to earn such a huge amount of cash in just one year with very little capital!

At this moment, what was originally just a slightly new indie game in terms of technology is now on a par with Breath of the Wild and Odyssey, and it can be said that one of the recognized games of the year should have been produced in these three games.

Compared with the unknown Blue Star Company, the developers of "Breath of the Wild" and "Odyssey" are Nintendo, the biggest players in the industry!

……

The huge cash inflow has made Bluestar an upstart in the gaming industry in one fell swoop, and the tax departments of several countries are also eyeing this huge amount of cash......

…… However, neither the United States, nor the European Union, nor South Korea have found any such game company called Blue Star.

At the same time, countless large enterprises have thrown olive branches to it: some ask for technical support, some want film cooperation, and some want to represent and acquire...... There are even AI-related companies that want to engage with Bluestar.

However, whether it is a country or an individual, everyone who wants to contact Bluestar can only contact through the email address it left on the neat platform......

…… Is there anything more bullshitty than that?

However, at this time...... But there was something else on the Internet.

For example, Bluestar does not evade taxes, and Bluestar has an unregistered training base in South Korea...... There are even rumors that Blue Star has a Chinese military background behind it.

……

"Did you find it?" Chen Zheng looked at the laptop screen and asked Dong Jie on the other side of the screen.

"Well, I found it." Dong Jie sent a document over.

"The other party's IP is in Japan!?" Chen Zheng was stunned.

“…… Yes. Dong Jie nodded, "But this has nothing to do with the player, through the IP address query, this location is a game-related department under Sony." ”

"Through comprehensive intelligence comparison, these people are called 'gatekeepers' (GK), specializing in some things that guide public opinion and slander competitors."

"We don't even have a Japanese version, do we? Is this a competitor to Sony? Chen Zheng couldn't laugh or cry.

"It seems that Sony's GK division thinks so, and almost all the negative news about Bluestar on the Internet can eventually trace the IP address. And that's not all......"

Saying that, Dong Jie sent Chen Zheng a piece of news that had not yet been published.

“……”

Seeing the headline of the news, Chen Zheng was silent - "Blue Star Illegal Hypothetical Server in Jeju, South Korea".

"Can you find it all?" Chen Zheng's eyes were cold.

"It seems that our IP address was found through some technical means...... Dong Jie doesn't know much about this either, and the information she got was all from hired hackers.

"Notify the steam platform and block purchases in Japan." Chen Zheng sneered, "Anyway, I never thought of recruiting pilots in Japan......

"Okay." Dong Jie nodded, "What about Sony's GK department...... Ignore them? ”

"You don't have to worry about it, they will naturally pay the price."
