In fact, it is not uncommon for games to officially provide trading platforms in the game industry, and many games support this kind of function.

For example, the most common "role trade"!

The official launch of a trading platform, players can on this platform, strip the characters they want to trade, and other players spend money to buy it.

This is actually an officially guaranteed account transaction, but the official retains the seller's game account and separates the characters from it.

In addition to this, there is also the trading of in-game items, which is also in a similar form.

The widespread account transactions of "Speed Hurricane" and the increasing number of cases of players being deceived made Chen Ba have the idea of making an official trading platform.

It's better to be blocked!

As long as there is demand, there will be a market, and as long as there is a market, this kind of thing will definitely happen.

Since it can't be controlled, it is simply included in the scope of official control to provide credit guarantee and security guarantee for players' transactions.

The official platform of the game is not more reliable than the platform you found on the Internet?

"You can make a ......"

Yang Dong thinks this is a good idea, after all, "Speed Hurricane" players really need this thing too much.

And it's easy to do this, just copy it according to your friends, players choose the trading platform, and the most worrying thing is nothing more than "unreliable".

Officially, there are no such concerns, so it is easy to do.

You don't even need to develop an APP or software program, just make it into a web model, and then embed it into the game client or Tianba community.

How easy is that?

Not only does it save trouble, it solves a major pain point for players, and the most important thing is that it can also earn some handling fees.

Trivia, every transaction on this platform is a commission, which is commonly known as a handling fee. Otherwise, people will provide you with services for nothing, why do you think it is so beautiful?

The handling fee seems to be inconspicuous, and a transaction is just a little money, but it can add up to a lot.

Once the size of the transaction is complete, this amount of money is still a lot......

"The problem now is that if it's just for Speed Hurricane players, then I don't have a lot of money, and there's no need for it."

"So we either don't do this, or we have to make a trading platform for all Tianba games." Chen Bazheng said, "At least our own games must be all included!" ”

Similar to the treasure cabinet of a pig factory.

Cross-game is a must, not cross-game only for "Speed Hurricane" a game service, then there is really no need to do this platform.

After all, it's hard to say how long "Speed Hurricane" will be popular, in case it doesn't work in two years, won't this platform be done in vain?

"That's what I thought too."

Yang Dong nodded, agreeing with Brother Ba's idea, this official trading platform must cover multiple games.

You have to have a separate name.

The pig factory is called the Treasure Pavilion, and it sounds very tasteful, what is the name of this trading platform of Tianba Studio?

"How's the treasure room?"

Chen Ba joked: "The main one is to question the pig factory, understand the pig factory, and become a pig factory!" ”

"Don't do it, what if people are unhappy and get into trouble with us?"

Yang Dong said cowardly: "Let's say okay first, if the pig factory comes over, I will be the first to surrender and draw a line with you on the spot." ”

"Spineless!"

Chen Ba pouted and said, "Then tell me, what is the name of this thing?" A treasure trove? Treasure caves? Treasure Pavilion in the Pavilion? ”

"Decepticon Mecha Hangar, how's it going?"

Chen Ba: "......"

You kid! If you don't like the things in the pig factory, you turn around and steal the things in the goose factory, right?

"I will surrender when the goose factory calls, I won't say a good word for you, you just wait to be beaten to death!"

Chen Ba rolled his eyes, and guessed that Yang Dong couldn't come up with a good name, so he said finally: "Jiangning is our blessed land, and the studio is also called Tianba, so let's call it Tianning Pavilion." ”

"Tianning Pavilion?"

Thinking about this word, Yang Dong immediately nodded and said, "Okay, that's it!" I'm going to go back and make arrangements and find time to make this trading platform. ”

"No hurry!"

Chen Ba waved his hand and said, "Before I do this, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Regarding the question of whether some of our old games should be given away for free."

Chen Ba explained: "The person in charge of the steam platform asked me if I wanted to participate in their Lunar New Year event. I think it's been so long, and the new low is a bit too shabby and unappealing. ”

How many years of old games are still at a low price in history, and a low price in the new history?

Come on!

Even if these old games are listed with a green discount label of -80% or -90%, few new players will be interested.

Chen Ba also thinks that this year, there will be no new history of low prices, and the game will be given directly.

Learn from Ubisoft's good example!

Those old games that don't have much gimmick, and games that can't get up no matter how much they discount sales, are simply given to players, so that they don't have to mumble all day long.

"Free games?"

When Yang Dong heard this at first glance, he thought that Brother Ba was going to learn E Bao, and in order to attract new users to the Nobug platform, he began to send games to retain people.

After he finished speaking, he realized that it was not what he meant, and the purpose of sending the game was not to attract new users to the Nobug platform, but to give away the benefits of the whole platform, giving away the old games from before.

"Yes!"

Yang Dong has no opinion.

Those old games, it really can't be sold, and few people buy them at a discount, so they can be given away, and it's not bad for this money anyway.

The key is how to deliver? Which game to give? How long is the event limited?

"Each platform can be received for free for a limited time, just click into the warehouse, and you don't need to spend money to buy!"

"The event lasts until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the end of the New Year! As for which game to choose, it's not one game, it's multiple games......"

Chen Ba is not so stingy, you have to choose one to send the game, if you want to send it, you can send more, anyway, you have to send it early and late, there is no difference.

The two games "Cold Window Reading Simulator" and "Simulator Under the Fence" are definitely going to be given away.

As for others, that is, games such as "Divine Grace Continent" and "Love Staff", Chen Ba is still hesitating.

""Speed Hurricane" shouldn't be sent, right?" Yang Dong asked tentatively.

"What do you want?"

Chen Ba said speechlessly: "It's the first game in our studio to cost more than 100 yuan, is the depreciation rate so fast?" ”

It's impossible to send "Extreme Hurricane" with anything!

Games that used to sell more than 100 yuan, although after so long, the historical low price has dropped to more than 40 yuan, so it will not be given away for free.

"Give away "Divine Grace Continent", the lowest price in history has fallen below 10 yuan, which is no different from giving it away for nothing."

Yang Dong analyzed: "Brother Ba, what you really hesitate about should be the game "Love Staff", right? ”

"That's right!"

Chen Ba sighed faintly.

The historical low price of "Love Staff" has not reached the point of giving it away for nothing, it is still worth some money, and the sales trend is okay, but now it is a bit of a loss to give it away for free.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this game has not yet reached the "age" of giving away for free, that is, it can continue to sell, even if it is a new historical low.

Give it away for free now, what do players who bought before think? Do you feel that you are a big wrongdoer?

But......

Chen Ba really wants to give this game.

Don't ask him why he doesn't earn money, ask if "Love Staff" is no longer as simple as a game for him.

He wished that the more people played this game, the better, whether to make money or not is a trivial matter, it doesn't matter if you put money into it, the game must be lived, and the more you live, the better.

"I see!"

Yang Dong said thoughtfully: "Are you worried that giving it away for free now will hurt the hearts of those players who bought it at a low price or at the original price?" ”

"That's right! That's what I mean......"

Chen Ba thought of it, and those player comments who like to brush up on the game comment area "Buy at the original price, it'll be free the next day, I'm a bad pen".

There are quite a lot of such people.

The game that I just bought was given away for free when I turned around, and many people will feel that they have been stabbed in the back, and it is inevitable to get angry.

Ubisoft?

Ubisoft's strategy is no less scolded! It's just that the number of players who shout big brother is far more than the number of players who feel angry about being backstabbed.

"Send!"

Yang Dong made a decision for Brother Ba and said, "Since you want the more players as possible, then give it away!" If you don't hear a little scolding from the player, you shouldn't have heard it! ”

Backstabs? Just get used to it!

If you buy a single game, don't you know that you buy early and enjoy it early, buy it late to enjoy discounts, and don't buy it for free?

Shopping on an e-commerce platform, buying a "price insurance" can still be backstabbed by the manufacturer, what can this kind of price reduction backstabbing in the game circle be counted as?

"You're ...... right"

Chen Ba seemed to have made up his mind, and said calmly: "It's okay to scold two sentences, anyway, I haven't been scolded less over the years." ”

Then give it away!

At this point, the activity plan of Tianba Studio during the Spring Festival has been completely released, and the game list has been officially finalized.

There are a total of four games, namely "Cold Window Reading Simulator", "Sending People Under the Fence Simulator", "Divine Grace Continent" and "Love Staff" are free on all platforms.

Please note that all platforms!

Whether it's a steam platform, or an E-treasure or Wegame, as well as Tianba Studio's own Nobug platform, it's all given away for free, and you can get it by clicking on it.

Console platforms are not participating in the event at this time.

It's not that Chen Ba is stingy, and he is reluctant to give benefits to players on the console platform, mainly on the console platform, which is discounted or free, and needs to be discussed with the platform.

Don't ask why.

Q: Not long ago, Tianba Studio signed a contract with the Xbox platform. Not an exclusive contract, but an independent "underwriting" contract.

The so-called underwriting is somewhat similar to the relationship between traditional automobile factories and their 4S stores.

Chen Ba is a car company that makes cars, he is only responsible for the production and assembly of cars, as for the cars made and shipped to the 4S store, how to sell them is a matter of the 4S store.

Anyway, the income is shared according to the proportion stipulated in the contract, and it is not a buyout model.

To put it bluntly, how to sell Tianba games on the Xbox platform, how to discount and how to promote them is arranged by the console platform itself.

Chen Ba is only responsible for dividing the money.

The game is provided by him, but the publicity and marketing of the console platform is the host side himself, he is a hands-off shopkeeper, and the bank card balance will automatically rise at that time.

"Poor console platform ......"

Yang Dong said silently: "The game is basically the original price, let's not talk about it, if there is a good thing, it will not be their turn, the server is still a potato product." ”

"There's no way!"

Chen Ba was speechless and said: "Who let the foundation of our Tianba studio be on the PC, not on the console?" ”

If Tianba Studio is a console game developer, it will definitely be a little better for console players, and if there are any good things and good things, all think about console players, and update and optimization are also the first to enjoy.

But it can't be helped!

Tianba Studio has not been very close to the console platform from beginning to end, the PC platform is the son, and the host is just the godson that he just recognized.

In this case, people are selfish, and Chen Ba is no exception.

There are good things and good things, and the first thing that comes to mind is definitely PC players, not console players. Updates and optimizations, server configurations, etc., and the host can only pick up some leftovers.

In fact, everything else is easy to say, mainly server and update optimization......

The potato server is a cliché, and it is not good on the PC side, let alone the host side. Version updates are the focus, and the console side often lags behind the PC side by a month or even two.

The daylilies are cold!

Everyone has vomited the new version, and the host has not received a push message, which is too distressing.
