Chapter 306: A Reminder from Tang Jun

Just when players are in full swing and studying all kinds of sassy routines in "Minecraft".

The news that the sales of the third-generation host of the giant hard have surpassed have also spread everywhere with a rapid attitude, causing an uproar among domestic and foreign manufacturers.

Those who said before that the victory and defeat had been divided, and the huge hardship regretted the defeat, all had a ghostly expression, looking at the data in front of them in disbelief.

"It's over, it's really over."

"Are you sure this sales figure is correct?"

"The gap of four million has only taken less than two weeks!"

"Ren Tiandi, who has dominated the host for many years, lost?"

Yes, lost.

And it lost very completely.

It was released a month in advance, and the continuation of the blockbuster IP was canvassed, and there were hundreds of hot games discounted to build momentum.

They only lasted for two months, and they were overtaken by the huge tough latecomers and directly overtaken.

In their eyes, this is already a miracle.

After all, many people know that before the release of the third generation of consoles, Juhard is still running around to escort the masterpieces, looking for new partners.

That's when they felt that there was no hope.

No matter how hard the means are against the sky, no matter how abundant the funds are, it is impossible to win this battle of turnaround.

But now the results.

It turned out to surprise everyone.

In just over three months, Ju Hard has really taken out an escort masterpiece, and it is also a pixel game that countless people are not optimistic about.

Even with this weird game, they leveraged the already solid console market, and in their shocked and stunned eyes, they trampled the big brother of the console under their feet!

And this.

Just because of a game.

That pixel game called Minecraft!

"Go, contact me immediately, and ask if you plan to log in to the PC platform after half a year of exclusivity!"

"The host can sell 20 million copies, which shows that the potential of the whole platform is at least 60 million, and there is a gap of 40 million sales!"

"40 million! There are only a dozen or twenty models in the world! ”

"Forget it, I'll go over myself! Make an appointment with the Honghuang side, and say I'm going to visit! ”

"We have to take the agency of this game!"

All of a sudden, all major game platforms moved, eyeing the exclusive lifting of the ban on "Minecraft" half a year later.

Even some foreign manufacturers have sent people over to discuss agency matters.

As people in the gaming industry, their estimates are very accurate.

Today's three major game markets, PC, console, and mobile phone, account for 4:3:3 and are basically the same, even if there is a fluctuation, this ratio is still the same.

Just 30% of the console side has nearly 20 million sales, which shows that this game still has 6 or 70% sales potential on PC and mobile phones, which is definitely a huge sweetheart!

Not to mention the head of Steam Asia.

As soon as he reacted, he went straight to the flood to work and asked about the intention of the platform in the future.

The speed is so fast that countless peers are astonished.

At the same time, it was very shocking.

You must know that the steam platform is one of the world's top PC platforms, and it has always been only a part of game manufacturers in China, but it is rare to visit in person.

is also the head of the Asian region, and his status is half a step higher than that of the tough Tang Jun.

"Joke, if it were me, I would have run over shamelessly knowing that there was a game that steadily broke 10 million sales."

"Steam plugged in first, and other PC platforms don't have a chance."

"Plug it in, plug it in, I didn't buy the console, just wait for the PC to go online."

"It's the same, I've watched the anchors play recently, and I almost couldn't help but buy the host."

"I don't know if Hong Huang will come out of the mobile phone."

"I have to wait three months for the ban to be lifted, I can't wait!"

After all, there are a few players who buy equipment for a game, after all, a console costs thousands of dollars.

Therefore, many PC and mobile players have to watch with their eyes and count the huge hard half a year of exclusive time with their fingers.

When the time comes, "Minecraft" will be available on PC.

Especially after seeing the recent live broadcast and various lively videos such as survival, adventure, and construction, they are even more greedy, and they are urging to go online under the official account all day long.

Finally after a few days.

Chen Lin asked the publicity department to respond.

[Flood Wilderness Studio (official): Thank you for your love for Flood Games, "Minecraft" is working hard to carry out multi-platform porting and optimization, and will officially log in to PC and mobile platforms in three months. 】

[At that time, we will adopt the operation mode of data exchange on all platforms, so that players on all platforms can work together to create their own worlds, and at the same time open new character pinching, end boss battles, ruins exploration, village merchants and other gameplay, so stay tuned.] 】

An announcement was made.

In an instant, it caused a large shock in China.

"It's on! It's time to go to PC! ”

"Even on the phone!"

"It's actually a full-platform data exchange?"

"Great! That's what I've been waiting for! ”

"The wilderness is awesome! (Broken sound)"

The player group is beating gongs and drums here, and the whole world celebrates.

The giant hard Tang Jun is extremely uncomfortable here.

It was not because Chen Lin issued an announcement at this time to pull away his customers, but because he regretted that he only signed an exclusive contract for half a year.

I knew that this game was so fierce, and he said that he would have to sign it for three years or even longer, and it would be better to be exclusive forever.

It's too late to say anything now, and I only hate myself for being too conservative in my estimation of the flood famine.

"Mr. Chen, you really hurt me."

On the phone, Tang Jun complained helplessly.

"What? Isn't it appropriate for me to make an announcement right now? Chen Lin said with a smile.

"What's inappropriate, to be able to make such a result, it is far beyond my imagination, I should thank Mr. Chen, it's a pity, I originally wanted to renew the contract with Mr. Chen for another half a year."

At this time, Tang Jun had already identified the movable type signboard of Honghuang, so it was naturally impossible to be angry about such a trivial matter.

In case he comes up with a game with tens of millions of sales in the future, he can also benefit from it.

With such a huge potential game manufacturer, it is too late for them to build a good relationship with the platform.

"Half a year of exclusivity is already the longest I've been able to accept, and you know we did a multi-platform port at the beginning."

"Of course, I just felt it."

Tang Jun smiled, and then his expression became serious: "But there is one thing I have to remind Mr. Chen, that old guy in Guchuan is very resentful, Hong Huang helped us step on them this time, I am afraid that he will be hated." ”

"And Soni, although the two of them have been competing for the console market, but after all, they are from the same country, and they will definitely not let us in so easily, they can't stop this "Minecraft", but there is no guarantee that future games will not be targeted."

Minecraft is a phenomenal game that is hard to come by.

No matter how strong the flood is, it is impossible to come up with this kind of explosive game that makes the two helpless every time.

Hong Huang helped Ju Hard to grab their market this time, and he will definitely be hated.

Suoni may choose to be friendly with Honghuang because of interests, after all, the platform does not fight with manufacturers, which is the default unspoken rule of the industry.

But Furukawa has always held grudges, and because of Ren Tiandi's strong position on the host side, he is blind and arrogant, and has a history of bullying customers.

It's really possible that this will be the focus on the famine.

"Furukawa?"

Chen Lin muttered to himself, lost in thought.

He had sent someone to the Ren Heaven and Earth Branch to discuss the matter of sharing, but it was unsuccessful.

Basically, many manufacturers have a 70% share, and only a few partners or investors of Rentiandi can get a higher share.

It is enough to see the arrogant attitude of the heavens and the earth.

But it can't be helped.

Who made him the host boss?

Although the giant hard can overwhelm the world in other fields, in the field of console games, it really can't do it.

Otherwise, it is impossible to be so reluctant to give Honghuang and even other manufacturers a higher share.

As for Suo Ni, more often than not, he seems to be a neutral, and if he uses it well, he may be able to become a helper in suppressing the barbaric growth of Ren Tiandi.

After all.

He doesn't want to see the platform dominate.

That's definitely not a good thing for game makers like them.

"Okay, I see, thanks for the reminder."

"Then I won't bother Mr. Chen, and we will have a meal together when I have time."

After saying that, the two hung up the phone and continued to go about their business.

Let's tidy it up.

Chen Lin got up and left the office, came to the Liming team, and found Lao Li, who was supervising the development of the mobile game.

"How? Is the platform porting going well? ”

He asked as he walked over to the computer.

"It's okay, it's just that the character's face can only be changed by changing the color of the square, it feels a bit single, and we're thinking of a solution." Lao Li touched his chin and replied with a frown.

The disadvantage of the pixel style is that in terms of detail, you can't change the lines as freely as in a 3D picture, which results in very few things that can be changed.

Chen Lin thought for a moment and said, "In this case, let's open the material library, let players make their own character mods, and they can change the block size and color." ”

"By the way, add a community function, directly connected to the MC forum section of "Flood Wilderness", so that they can directly share and download mods on it, and we can also put some custom skins on it. ”

"Isn't that going to give up too much permission?" Lao Li hesitated.

"No, it won't." Chen Lin shook his head, "The main focus of this game is player creation, what you want is the feeling of controlling all the world, and restricting too many permissions will limit the imagination of players." ”

"It seems to be the same, then I understand!"

Lao Li suddenly became enlightened, since he wants to open the permissions, let's put it enough, open the entire material library, and let the players fool around by themselves.

After finishing speaking, he also threw himself into work again, and hurried to complete the porting of PC and mobile games.

Wait until Chen Lin leaves.

The employee on the side finally couldn't help but speak.

"Lao Li Tou, I heard from a friend in the same industry that our game can sell at least 60 million sales on the whole platform, is this true?"

"60 million, directly more than the big dead man, right?"

"It's almost the end of the year, and I don't know how much bonus I can give."

"Can Lao Li Tou reveal it in advance?"

As he spoke, a group of old employees couldn't help but rub their hands, looking at Lao Li expectantly.

For those of them who get up early and are greedy for darkness, the most real thing is the bonus, and they don't like to make so many false things.

If you can make me a lot of money, I'll give you my life.

As long as the money is in place, 996 and 007 are fine.

"Look at you in a hurry."

Lao Li glanced at them and said with a smile: "I asked about finance before, and the specific data hasn't come out yet, but this year, there are two big projects of "World of Warcraft" and "Minecraft", and the bonus is at least twice the annual income, and there are additional rewards for outstanding performance." ”

Their studio has a clear bonus incentive system.

As long as you want, you can roughly calculate how much you can take.

So there's no need to shy away too much.

But even so.

After hearing his words, all the employees were still excited, and they were very excited.

The newcomers who were assistants on the side also opened their mouths wide and looked at each other with shocked faces.

Two projects, just two years of bonuses, is still a conservative estimate!

Is this the joy of participating in big money-making projects?

This moment.

They seem to finally know why the outside world says that the employees of the flood are difficult to dig.

Even if you come to dig me now, I'm not willing to leave!
