Chapter 222: Light Treasure Applies to Fight! I shatter the darkness with thunder!
Ke Jin found a very serious problem.
Today is the 25th day of Elden's release.
But the backstage flow ......
has come to the terrifying 3.8 billion.
The rally completely exceeded his expectations.
Originally, Kejin estimated that the first 20 days would cut 3 billion, and the last 10 days would be more than a billion, which was almost enough.
As a result, it has only been five days, and it has already risen by 800 million.
And according to the flow chart in the background.
The 800 million is far from the limit of the increase, and the curve chart has been soaring all the way in the past five days, and there is no turning point at all.
As long as the curve does not slip, there is always more laughter than crying.
But it's a pity that Master Carving belongs to the echelon of crying.
After an urgent investigation, Ke Jin discovered the root of the evil.
He realized that the game media on Omi's side had started to move again recently.
The largest gaming community media "The sound of games"
In the past week, many articles have inculcated several points of view, both overtly and covertly.
Cheap games will eventually destroy the game market, making the game market enter a very deformed development, which is not conducive to the future game designers to create more excellent and sophisticated works.
This point of view, to be honest.
Kejin is recognized.
If most of the games are too cheap, it means that the market price has been compressed to this point, and players will spontaneously shout everywhere after accepting a game at this price and then seeing a more expensive game, 'What game are you?' Do you dare to sell for that price? ’
But if you only talk about appearances, you are a pure hooligan.
The most fundamental reason why the Blue Star market is now is that.
They don't have any great games at all.
The market is inherently rotten.
The price is still expensive.
So for the implantation of this point of view, Kejin feels that these media don't really want to save the game market.
They just want to save the cake in their hands.
Second, several other major media outlets, including the media "Voice of the Game", are instilling a kind of 'spending money and honoring theory'
This set of gameplay is also a habitual trick used by the Omi capitalists.
At present, 100% of the luxury goods on the market are filled with glasses, and the value far exceeds the practical value.
But that's what the rich guy bought.
What I want is dignity.
What grade, poor buddy deserves to use the same level with me?
These days, when you go out, if you play a game that you can buy for more than ten dollars, you will be embarrassed to say hello!
In the group, you have a dozen games in hand, are you embarrassed to bubble?
Anyway, all kinds of marketing combinations are smashed down.
To denounce the Nplay platform and the number one player again is to undermine the current market environment.
It's so that the game companies in the future can't survive!
But just scolding won't do.
That would be a clear competition for business.
Therefore, these marketing methods are not black for the sake of black.
also raised a hand of number one player by the way.
It is said that "Elden Ring" is indeed one of the greatest works of this century, and such works have also given countless game manufacturers hope for the future.
But such a good work, according to Wei Wangdi's side after some random calculations.
The conclusion was reached.
Player One doesn't make money!
And even losing money!
If we can't even make money from such works, then where will we go in the future of the game industry?
Now, the Omega player group is directly fried.
“WTF??? Elden Ring doesn't make money? Really? ”
"It must be true, the rumors from Wei Wangdi, they estimated what they said, so can it be false?"
"Indeed, no matter how bad Weiwangdi is, it is also an old game platform, where a large number of professionals and elites in the industry are gathered, there is no reason why you can't even estimate the sales volume."
"And taking 10,000 steps back, Wei Wangdi has no motive to lie, his behavior is actually promoting players to support the purchase of the original version of "Elden", and he has no profit for himself."
"How can this work? OMG! I can't stand such a good title and the game company not getting the reward it deserves......"
"Everyone is actually not too poor people.,There's no need to buy such a cheap game.,It's only less than 100 meters to support the genuine version.,Is it really that you can't get this money?"
"Don't say it, I will take out my pension and support the genuine version!"
"Brothers, it's 2,000 euros for a month, and this game only sells for 80 euros in the European market, and it will take a few hours to brush the plate when you fold it, don't let a good company like the number one player feel cold!"
"Come on, carved designer! Don't fall! I'll brush the plate and raise you to make games! ”
"Hey, Kebro, don't worry, go boldly! I'll sell drugs to feed you! - Love from Mexiga"
"Fuss, I'll donate some oil and I'll be done - the message was sent to Shat"
……
Looking at the transmission through the machine translation, it is densely packed with love from players all over the world.
Kejin is numb.
The corners of his eyes and mouth twitched, a precursor to a stroke.
No......
Wei Wangdi, you BYD.
If you hold it for a long time, you're going to hold this thing for me?
Why don't you die?
You're just dead!
Moreover, if you want to do marketing, you will do marketing, and if you want to promote your noble theory, you will publicize it.
Now the number one player hasn't completely punched yet, you still have two years of good food to eat, hurry up and earn some money, it's almost over.
But what the hell are you trying to do for me?
You're really Spider-Man's dead horse, and you're a stinky Peter.
Ke Jin can't wait to put AK directly to the headquarters of Weiwangdi!
Die! Give me death!
Now it's all right.
Players across the globe know that the number one player is not making money anymore.
In fact, the number one player is making money.
The R&D budget for "Elden" is only 100 million dollars, which is only 600 million or 700 million RMB. (Anti-bar tip: The protagonist company does not need to compare the production cost of the real old man's ring because of the different time-consuming cycles and trial-and-error costs, and the same is true for subsequent games)
But in 25 days, the turnover has been pulled to a small 4 billion, and there is no such thing as a loss at all.
can be the so-called, spread rumors with one mouth, refute rumors and break legs.
People are always more willing to believe what is being reported for the first time.
The host's molestation of female students will obviously become a big hit news, but even if the host is proven innocent, no one will pay attention to it in the future.
Ready Player One is now the same.
Once players around the world have accepted the psychological hint that 'Ready Player One loses money to make Elden'.
In the future, even if the number one player makes his revenue public, he will not get much attention.
"The biggest problem now is that Wei Wangdi's publicity is obviously a bit successful......"
"As a result, many players are even dragged forward."
You can feel it from the skyrocketing backstage turnover in recent days.
Moreover, if you inquire about the distribution of the flow in detail.
You will find that there are many players who bought the game at a low price, and later went back to their own country to make up for the ticket.
This shows even more that Wei Wangdi's overwhelming propaganda has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
They don't get the benefits right away, though.
But as long as the market price is stabilized, players will recognize the game at a normal price.
It is equivalent to paving the way for the future of DFgame.
This move is very insidious.
Ke Jin couldn't help frowning slightly.
After some deep thought, he came up with a way to crack it.
The old brings the new!
Isn't the trend of public opinion in the market now all in favor of the original price game?
This voice will coerce some players who like to chat in groups, so that in order to fit in, they have to come up with this kind of behavior similar to voting for a name, buying a game at the original price.
The birth of this phenomenon is mainly due to the cult effect of the strong.
That is, people will subconsciously imitate the behavior of people who are better and stronger than themselves.
It's also common in reality.
For example, some nouveau riche suddenly have money and don't know how to spend it.
Those luxury goods that were once spurned by him will now be bought in large quantities by him.
Because, these are things that people who are really rich recognize.
Therefore, in order to be recognized as a real rich person, they will do this imitation.
But if that's if.
The rich guys at the top did not recognize these premium luxury goods, and even boycotted them jointly, and they all stopped buying them.
Even if luxury goods remain unchanged at this price, the nouveau riche will not choose to follow suit.
Similarly.
Currently, players are buying the game at the original price, except for a portion of the support for the number one player.
Another part of the players also wants to be recognized in the circle.
This recognition, although it comes from the people around us.
But in a circle of players, the most vocal is generally the arrogant rich brother.
If at this time, the rich brother takes the lead in supporting cheap games.
It is bound to break through the current 'original price theory'
Although this thinking mainly stems from the desire to limit the flow of tasks.
But Ke Jin pondered for a moment.
Even if there are no system tasks.
Ke Jin felt like he would do his best.
Although I haven't been able to get the ultimate gift package for the past three or four years, it's a pity that I haven't been able to unlock all the good games for a long time.
But the number one player has grown to the point where it has grown now.
As an influential enterprise in the industry.
I am now not short of fame and money.
So, whether it can make a good start for the development of the game industry in the future is more important to Kejin than to complete the ultimate task.
The game will always maintain the original price, and it is clear to you on your toes that it is not the best choice for players.
This battle is also crucial.
"However, who should this rich brother go to......?"
After thinking about it for a while, Ke Jin found out.
I don't know much about the rich guy.
Supporting death is the rich second generation of some business cooperation.
But those are all business factors, and they don't really communicate with each other.
Ponder over.
unexpectedly found that the second generation he knew seemed to be the only one left, Yuan Qiaoqing, a little rich woman.
"Hiss......"
Ke Jin suddenly inhaled a little embarrassed.
How can this not be embarrassing.
The little rich woman just confessed more than a month ago.
But he was politely rejected by himself.
And then I didn't hear her in any time......
Not even her number one player ID is ever online again.
This shows that Yuan Qiaoqing is already sad and disappointed.
It's even out of the gaming circle.
As a result, when I need it now, I want to let her go to the ......
This is a bit of 'there is nothing to do, nothing to do in summer and autumn'.
After taking a few big sips of water, Ke Jin finally did not choose to contact Yuan Qiaoqing.
I really don't have this face.
Although the number one player has developed so far, I have to say something.
Without the support of the little rich woman, with the quality of the game, you can get out of the circle sooner or later.
But it is undeniable that the little rich woman has made a considerable contribution to the development of her own company.
Far from it, it is said that it has completed nearly 70% of the number one player DreamWorks at present.
The offline demo of "Dying Light" is also in full swing to transport all kinds of equipment into it.
These are more or less factors contributed to by the little rich woman threading the needle in it.
Taking the benefits of others, but not accepting others.
Good fellow, 'Receiving a gift doesn't mean I accept it' turned out to be talking about myself......
It's okay to give yourself seconds of inequality......
Ke Jin really didn't have the cheekiness to bother others anymore.
After thinking about it, Ke Jin called the number one player high-level to have a meeting.
And there was a discussion about the current situation.
Avoiding the system task, he focused on the core point of 'how to make affordable games reach tens of millions of players' and started a discussion.
The method of 'bringing the old with the new' proposed by Kejin is more recognized by all the high-level leaders.
I think this can effectively call on players to face up to the pricing of the game itself and not easily pay for the price beyond the quality of the game.
This will help the follow-up Nplay platform to pave the way smoothly overseas.
In the area of candidates, the high-level executives got together to discuss for a long time, but they did not find a more suitable candidate.
In the end, I reluctantly used a solution that didn't work.
That is, from the user group of the number one player, some rich brothers with more solid strength and easy-going personality are screened out.
In the name of 'helping the game develop', invite them to the number one player discussion session.
However, this kind of unkindness also needs to be repaid.
What's more, at present, the high-level leaders can only negotiate a 'game priority experience'.
This is also known as a closed beta account.
And in order to satisfy Brother Fu, this closed beta account is best for life, and any closed beta game owned by the number one player, they will enjoy the first experience qualification.
To be honest, Ke Jin didn't really want to use it this way.
Because it has broken the balance of closed beta players.
In the end, it was a group of tycoons at the top of the pyramid.
And these rich teams, the perspective they see is different from the perspective of ordinary players looking at a game.
The average player may be more inclined to whether the game is fun or not.
And the rich brother is used to enjoying it because he usually enjoys it.
Looking at another game, I might consider whether I am more comfortable playing this game and pretending to be more aggressive.
If these rich guys continue to be eligible for closed beta, sometimes the opinions given are often misleading.
"But there's really no better way to do it right now......"
After all, the opponent is Wei Wangdi, and they have the ability to spread the publicity, and their number one player has already invested heavily in the Omega market.
The 20 billion raised by buying the Nplay platform has not been paid off yet.
I can only rely on the rich brother who also likes the games of the number one player.
Finding free help from others is unreasonable if you don't give out privileges.
"Then it's decided." Ke Jin groaned, but nodded in agreement.
Soon, the official website of the number one player.
An event post with the theme 'Invite veteran players to Ready Player One HQ to discuss the future of the game' is now available.
As soon as the post was issued, it immediately sparked heated discussions.
The influence of the number one player in recent years is not small, and the quality of the games is getting higher and higher, and one is more explosive than the other.
To be invited to such a promising company to discuss the future development of games......
Doesn't this show that his own ideas can even appear in the new work of Ready Player One one day?
Good guys, you might have a chance to make a name in the history of the game!
Therefore, many people are ready to sign up one after another.
Ke Jin had to bite the bullet and screen out most of the ordinary players from the registration list against his will, and reserved some application places for rich brothers.
The event went quite smoothly.
Within two days, no less than thirty rich brothers were recruited, and almost all of them had solid family backgrounds.
The family is either in the real estate business, or runs a large chain store, or runs some household names.
It is not difficult to see that the game has a far-reaching influence in today's Blue Star.
Many second-generation well-known businesses are fans of the number one gamer.
This cohesion should not be underestimated.
However, just when Kejin was about to send an invitation to invite all the rich brothers to the headquarters of the number one player.
"Da! Da! Da! ”
The crisp little leather shoes stepped the tiled floor, making an angry sound.
It was accompanied by the sound of two security personnel behind him hurriedly blocking him.
"Huh...... Miss...... Wait, wait...... This is the Ready Player One headquarters...... There is a privacy related to game development in the company, so you can't just break into it if you are not invited...... Miss, wait a minute! ”
But it's a pity that the two strong security guards look a little lacking in aura when facing a little Lori with a double ponytail who is only 1.5 meters tall.
I want to stop it, but I don't dare to stop it...... On the contrary, he became her bodyguard, constantly moving forward with her footsteps.
No way, the security guard may not know this girl dressed in Lolita-style clothes.
But they still knew a Maybach parked outside the door.
This is not a master to be messed with.
Moreover, through the dark window, it seems that you can vaguely see the figure of a more professional and serious bodyguard.
Who dares to mess with this......
At this time, Xiao Lori's face was shrouded in frost, cold as if it was about to freeze, and her two soft eyebrows were also horizontally turned into inverted eight, glancing at the two security guards who were blocking, her footsteps paused slightly, and her small mouth spit out two words coldly.
"Get out of the way."
He completely removed all the defenses of the security guards, and could only quickly notify the supervisors upstairs to pay attention to the fact that an unregistered visitor had broken in directly.
Then, the tiny leather shoes under her feet kept making noises.
With a blank face, he walked straight to the third floor.
Under the stunned or puzzled gaze of all the employees of Player One.
The eyes do not squint.
I walked straight to the door of the room at the end of the line of sight that said "General Manager's Office".
There was no knock on the door, just twist the handle to enter.
Then, the employees heard a heavy slap on the table.
"Bang!"
Even through a load-bearing wall with good sound insulation.
Outside, the staff heard angry and loud questions.
"Why don't you contact me for this kind ???of thing?"
……
"If you continue to play like this, the good reputation of the number one player will be ruined sooner or later! They know a fart in the closed beta!! ”
……
"Delete the invitation event on the official website for me immediately!"
……
"I'll take care of this!!"
……
Quiet.
Inside the huge office office.
The employees of the number one player looked at each other and stared at each other.
Boy......
When the little Lori passed by just now, they were all looking at it.
Who would have thought that such a small body would hide such a big explosive power?
dared to treat the CEO of his own company fiercely.
Even more outrageous.
In the company, there has always been a more dignified engraver.
It seems like...... Nothing happened.
As if cowardly, I asked if I didn't squeak in the house.
What's going on?
As the art department of the cubicle, a small door was also pushed open at this time, Ke Yu poked out a small head, and after listening to the movement of the general manager's office, he couldn't help but open his mouth slightly, and his eyes showed a little surprise.
"Ahh......h
"Brother is going to suffer a heavy ......"
