Game designer: I make games, not charity

Almost a year has passed since the release of Diablo.

But the money on the game platform "WG" has not yet arrived.

Because this platform holds the largest number of single-player gamers.

Therefore, it is inevitable that some stores will cheat.

And game manufacturers like Chen Feng, who have no own channels and are not particularly famous, are the most likely to be bullied!

The money on this platform, in this platform, is usually only issued once every half a year.

But practically.

Since the platform itself has to wait for half a year, after half a year, the platform is also needed to calculate all sales in the past half a year and give a share.

This also comes at a time cost.

So basically the money on this platform arrives after most of the year.

This is already a very overbearing clause.

However, this era has to admit that traffic is indeed very important.

It's like the goose factory spent so much money on propaganda.

Chen Feng, on the other hand, only used 4 words of free games to get almost the same effect.

It is because of the 4 words of free games, which can absorb traffic more.

But single-player games are naturally not free.

Therefore, almost most single-player game manufacturers need to find these platforms with traffic.

Even in single-player games, the not very strong goose factory is the same.

Of course, a large factory like Goose Factory will definitely be better in terms of sharing ratio and contract treatment.

After all, with the size and economic strength of the goose factory, maybe they even invested in this game platform.

"It's been more than half a year, and I finally got the money over.

Chen Feng quickly took Zhang Wuhua to the finance side and checked the accounts.

In the first six months, the sales of "Diablo" reached a total of six million!

But this sales still breaks the record for the sales of all single-player games in this world! And it is far more than that!

In this world, the best single-player games

, the overall sales, only reached more than two million.

After all, VR single-player games are too expensive, and the number of single-player game pods is so much.

If it weren't for the rise of VR experience stores, there might not be such a huge number.

And "Diablo".

The price should not be one or two thousand, nor two or three thousand, let alone 998

Only 198 is needed.

Diablo to take home.

You can play with a computer, and you can play all day.

With such a low threshold, sales are naturally terrifying.

It is only the first half year of launch, and only in the domestic sales of Daxia, it has reached

6 million! It is enough to see how amazing the results of this game are!

These more than 6 million sales, excluding all kinds of miscellaneous expenses, as well as the loss of platform discounts and activities.

The game "Diablo", the money earned in the first quarter, basically more than 900 million, nearly 100 million.

But the money on Chen Feng's books is only a little more than 470 million.

It was half taken away.

The finance next to him was worried that Chen Feng did not understand the market, so he added next to him: "According to the contract, the platform has the right to get fifty percent of our game sales."

Chen Feng is naturally not a Leng Touqing, although he does not seem to be very reliable, but most of the contracts signed in the company are overseen.

Where can he not know that the other party is going to divide 50%,

so at this time, he just feels some flesh pain.

Half of them were taken by the platform.

That's a few hundred million!

And this is just the beginning, this is only the first half of sales.

Although after "Diablo", the sales of "Diablo" will definitely not be as high as they are now.

But it is bound to make a lot of money.

And no matter how much money you want to earn later, as long as it is on these platforms, it will be divided into 50% by these platforms!

If Chen Feng wants to rebuild a game platform for a "Diablo" single-player game.

It's a bit too thankless.

It also takes a lot of effort to compete with other platforms, which is too cumbersome.

For now, his energy is still focused on e-sports.

At

least enough for these employees in the company to take a good look at their strength!

Chen Feng immediately gathered all the employees and showed the sales of "Diablo" and the money returned to all the employees.

At the same time, he also said at the meeting: "Don't worry about the company's financial operation, our "Dark" has only been half a year, and the sales have reached 500 million, and I will use this money to operate "Dungeons and Warriors"!

With Chen Feng's words, the employees were all smiling on the surface.

After all, what will happen to this will also be regarded as a celebration party.

Celebrate the first single-player game with such a great result.

But as soon as he heard that Chen Feng wanted to use all of this nearly 500 million in sales to operate dungeons and warriors.

The employees at the meeting couldn't help but twitch their hearts.

Not only did they not have the slightest sense of reassurance.

On the contrary, they are even more worried.

Mr. Chen himself is ready, to lose 500 million, just the above preparation...

This free game looks like... It's really going to be cold....

Time moves slowly.

On the platinum side, the production of the game progressed quickly, even exceeding Chen Feng's expectations, and the degree of completion was quite high, and Chen Feng felt very satisfied in all aspects.

Now he has made this "Dungeons and Warriors" with better picture quality, stronger sense of blow, and more textured music than in his previous life.

The overall feeling is completely transcendent to previous lives.

So for this game, Chen Feng is very confident.

Not only Chen Feng, on the Internet, the wind reviews of "Dungeons and Warriors" have gradually improved.

This also has something to do with the shimmering post that caught fire.

From that post, netizens saw Baijin's progress and also saw Baijin's persistence.

So a large part of the people also believe that Platinum and Chen can make a very good free game.

At the very least, the quality should be guaranteed, which is certainly a good thing if the quality of the game is good and free.

Of course, the part of netizens who think that platinum will only do garbage games this time and just for the sake of gimmicks still exists.

After the two sides bumped into each other on the Internet, they would scold each other from time to time.

No one obeys anyone.

And which side will win, only wait for the game to come out.

to see the difference!

......

A month later, Chen Feng, president of Platinum Game Company, who had been silent for a long time, released the bib again

! [The "Dungeons and Warriors" game will be launched in the near future, you can now pre-register, early registration, and many benefits! The following is the pre-registration link: http//www.#¥#***.com]

Once this post appeared, even if a large number of netizens poured in, they entered the official website to register.

The number of pre-registrations rose wildly in a short period of time.

10w！50w！100w！300w！500w......

Moreover, this rally is getting faster and faster, and the increase is also increasing.

According to this trend, the number of reservations for "Dungeons and Warriors" exceeded 10 million, catching up with the goose factory, or even directly surpassing the goose factory, it is almost inevitable!

Xu Chen was staring at the data on the computer screen, his face expressionless.

The employees of the surrounding goose factory all looked solemn.

Since Chen Feng posted on Weibo that the next game will be free.

Goose Factory has been paying attention.

Although it is a competitor, Goose Factory also wants to see what this free-to-play game of Platinum looks like.

At this time, it had only been twenty-four hours since Baijin Chen released his neck.

The number of pre-registrations for "Dungeons and Warriors" has exceeded 30 million!

But in the end, the number of pre-registrations for the game was only 10 million!

Platinum Games, on the other hand, seemed to be doing nothing.

It's just that Chen Feng stood up and shouted, my next game is free, everyone wants to play casually.

And then all of a sudden, there were more than 30 million appointments.

Such a comparison of data can almost be said that Platinum has completely crushed their goose factory

! This person is simply infuriating!

But now, in terms of publicity, the goose factory has already lost at the hands of platinum.

And once defeated, you lost a whole

two times! Last time, a duel between two fairy games.

The goose factory spent so much money on publicity, and the last half of the traffic was divided by Chen Feng.

Now Chen Feng did not come to divide the traffic of the goose factory.

Xu

Chen looked at the number of reservations for this new free game in Platinum, which was still growing wildly.

The face became more and more gloomy, and finally it was as black as the bottom of a pot.

To be honest, it's impossible to say it's impossible not to be thrilled with such amazing stats for the Platinum game.

But no matter how excited they are, they will definitely not do free games.

At this time, the employees next to them also looked a little ugly.

Such achievements, there is no way to keep up.

Xu Chen moved the mouse and clicked into the forum of the platinum company.

Look at the comments of netizens on the forum.

"Hahaha, Baijin Chen is really free! "

"The War God Temple of the first guild of "Legends" posted here to recruit people, and enter "Dungeons and Warriors" together, warriors are fearless, and then fight in the rivers and lakes!

"To be honest, I don't feel anything about this platinum, I just like to play VR games, but I'd like to see what this free-to-play game that has been so much publicized on the Internet looks like."

"Garbage game, garbage game, when the game comes out, labor and management will spray inside the game!" After

reading the comments for a while, Xu Chen said lightly: "Judging from these comments, the game of Platinum this time, the player base is quite extensive."

Old players of "Legends" in the past, some new players who come to see the trend.

And some netizens who hate platinum are ready to play their game.

Xu Chen's voice was cold, but in his tone, there was a yin and yang strange aura, as well as a mockery and disdain hidden in the depths.

At this time, an employee next to him echoed: "I think this data of Platinum has a lot of moisture, because of his free-to-play gimmick, so everyone will want to play and see."

Another employee came forward and said: "And even if they have more pre-registrations, it is useless, their "Dungeons and Warriors" is a free game, you can't earn a penny, the better the data, the higher the cost of their operation, but the more ruthless they will lose!" Hearing

the employees' words, Xu Chen couldn't help laughing.

Although he was a little blushing at Bai Jin's data, he was not afraid at all.

As an executive just said, because Platinum is a free-to-play game, the better the data, the greater their cost.

Once the game server crashes, they have to spend a lot of money to repair it, operate it, and start over and over again, and finally get stuck in an endless loop.

This

is

a bottomless pit! How can a free game not make money fill this bottomless pit? These

operations of the platinum company are just lifting stones and hitting their own feet in the end!

Thinking of this, Xu Chen suddenly realized.

In his speculation, Platinum Games seems to have gone bankrupt many times....

But now people not only have not closed down, but seem to have a trend of living better and better.

Xu Chen's face immediately darkened.

At the same time, a faint worry arose in his heart.

Anyway, the popularity and traffic of the game Platinum is really here.

In case of...... There is really a way for the platinum company to revitalize this bottomless pit like free game?!

After all, Chen Feng's guy has something in his head, but no one, I don't know

... (Note: Because the author has some personal matters, after this chapter is updated, you may have to take a break, I hope you can understand, and by next year, the book will probably start updating again
