Live Action Opens Up and Gets Blocked, Backhandedly Rectifying the Gaming Industry

Zuo Xuming let out a "poof" and said: "Look at my mouth, I am so anxious that I can't speak. I just received a notice from Game Box, requiring all our games to be unbound from the origin platform, otherwise they will all be downloaded." shelf."

Lin Mo frowned when he heard this, it was quite troublesome.

Game Box is the largest game mall and third-party game platform in China. Its main business is the sales of digital versions of games and software.

Simply put, another version of steam.

But its commission ratio, refund policy, platform services, etc. are all far behind.

The second largest game platform is called Tianyun Game Platform, which is one of the leaders in the domestic game industry. It mainly focuses on first-party games and also undertakes game distribution work.

The current size of the Origin Platform can be roughly ranked third, but there is still a big gap between it and the top two big brothers.

CSGO’s popularity relies on players’ tap water, excellent game quality and almost no cheats.

But the real explosion is inseparable from the promotion of major platforms after seeing the potential.

For example, Game Box, Tianyun Game Platform, and even Xingyou Interactive Entertainment’s wcgame game platform have also logged into CSGO, but they have not been specifically promoted.

The origin platform at that time was CSGO's launcher, and because of the almost magical anti-cheating technology, major platforms made an exception and allowed Naughty Cat's games to be bound to the origin platform for sale.

The cooperative mode is similar to XGP and Steam in previous EA games, and it also has to be started through Rotten Orange.

I was wondering which game company doesn’t have its own platform? If it's tied, it's tied.

Unexpectedly, Naughty Cat's game production speed was so high that the quality exploded, causing the Origin platform to become the third most installed platform in China.

Not only that.

Other game platforms all charge a 50% commission. The Origin platform adopts the 30% commission of the previous version of Steam, 25% for those with more than 70 million, and 20% for those with more than 350 million.

Games on other platforms cannot be refunded as soon as they are launched. The origin platform will refund unconditionally within 2 hours of game time within 15 days.

In addition, the service level, recommendation mechanism, etc. have been optimized a lot.

In recent months, more and more players and manufacturers have purchased games on the Origin platform.

With the popularity of Resident Evil 2 and the sequel getting ready, these distributors are finally getting anxious.

That's why we asked Lin Mo's games not to be bound to the origin platform, for fear of causing a big trouble that couldn't be solved.

Zuo Xuming asked worriedly: "Mr. Lin, what should I do? Do I need to unbind the game from the Origin platform?"

Lin Mo shook his head and said decisively: "It's impossible. All games must be bound to the origin platform. This is non-negotiable."

The Origin platform has a creative workshop, which is a player ecological community that integrates discussion communities, module production, fan creations, and technical exchanges.

Moreover, the anti-cheating system also relies on the platform. What will happen to CSGO if the platform is unbundled?

What to do with those classic fps games in the future?

"Okay, Mr. Lin, I understand." Zuo Xuming was still a little worried, "But if the game box really removes our games, then the sales of the company's next game will be worrying, and the company will also Losing some light players.”

The next game was originally Resident Evil 4, which was intended to be used to complete the system's tasks. The game box chose this time to attack with the intention of threatening and warning.

Things have changed now.

There will definitely be an impact, there is nothing we can do about it.

Just like many people in the past life wanted to play a certain game, but when they searched Steam and found it, they decided not to play it.

Just wait, you can play it whenever it's on Steam, or forget it if it's not.

Lin Mo was also a little annoyed. I didn't complain about your high commission, but your game box came to complain about my origin platform?

Suddenly, there was a blur in front of my eyes.

Then lines of words popped up.

【Task 1】

Horror games, as a genre that can make a big difference with small things, have always been the hardest hit area for junk games. Players who like this genre are miserable.

Long-term mission: Create a survival horror game series with a total sales volume of more than 25 million 400/2500 (unit: 10,000)

【New task! 】

【Task 2】

High commissions, lack of supervision, unreasonable refund policies, and relying on a near-monopoly status to ignore the legitimate rights and interests of players and game manufacturers.

Mission description: Make the Origin Game Platform the game platform with the highest share and the most popular among game manufacturers and players.

Mission completion: 1%

Remaining time: 364 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes and 55 seconds

Failure penalty: From now on, the host will have a sneeze that it wants to sneeze but cannot sneeze every 20 minutes, and the right to use the system will be revoked.

(Task completion less than 85% at the end of the period is considered a failure)

New mission is coming!

He looked at the task requirements carefully and frowned slightly. This was not an easy task to complete.

This is equivalent to the leader asking you to operate a game platform and kill Steam within a year.

Now that the system’s mission has come, it’s time to put the Origin Platform into thousands of households.

Lin Mo came to his senses from the task panel in front of him. Zuo Xuming was still sitting there with an uneasy expression on his face, thinking that what he just said made his boss unhappy.

"What did you just say?"

"Um, I said the company will lose a lot of players?"

Lin Mo smiled slightly and said: "Don't be afraid of this, there are ways to get those players back. There is nothing that cannot be solved by giving things. If there is, the things given away are not good enough."

Ninety percent of game PRs can't sit at the children's table when eating, so they can only eat standing up.

Even though 99% of problems can be solved by giving away things, many game companies insist on making themselves and their players look like enemies.

After the complete breakup with third-party channels such as Game Box, players may not be able to tell who is right or wrong.

However, the vast majority of players are unable to do things like pick up the bowl to eat and then put down the bowl to curse.

He is short-tongued, and after receiving your gift, his game box becomes unreasonable.

Then Lin Mo gave a series of instructions, describing how to deal with various situations.

Zuo Xuming listened and understood at first, but in the end he couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Lin, you just said that the game box might jump over the wall in a hurry, kidnapping players to do things with you and without me, and forcing players to use their computers. Only one platform is left on the Internet? Is this impossible? After all, it is an Internet company. Would it do something so stupid and childish, killing one thousand enemies and damaging oneself eight hundred?"

impossible?

Then you have never seen the 3Q battle.

Internet tycoons can greet each other's families at the court gate, compete passionately in Mortal Kombat, and perform all-out martial arts.

The richest man in the world can date someone in a ring, buy a social platform and then block his ex-girlfriend's account.

What's so strange about this?

"Nothing is absolute. The more detailed the emergency plan, the better, to prepare for emergencies." Lin Mo looked at the computer screen and thought for a few seconds, "I will give you a plan tomorrow at the latest. Based on the company's current situation, The production capacity can be completed in two days at most for a small game. I’ll leave it to you, is that okay?”

Zuo Xuming's face straightened, he nodded quickly and said: "Promise to complete the task."

Watching him walk out of the office, it was time for Lin Mo to work.

If third-party channels such as Game Box really remove all games from the Origin platform by then, they may face a situation where promotion and distribution are blocked.

These third-party channels often also work as game media and control the industry’s voice to a certain extent.

Why say a certain extent? Because now is the era of self-media.

Therefore, among the games that the Origin platform will send out, there must be an "Internet celebrity" game that can stir up popularity and attract the attention of self-media and players.

It doesn’t have to be fun or good-looking, but it must be lively and effective.

Let anchors and self-media help promote the origin platform.

In the previous life, there was such a complete game that relied on the effect of the program to sell hundreds of thousands of copies.

A man holding a hammer and sitting in a jar.

A few days later.

In the dormitory of a university in Zhonghai.

After playing CSGO, Zhang Feng let out a long breath, stretched his wrist, and asked: "By the way, "Hackers" will be released the night after tomorrow. Do you want to go and see it?"

Liu Xianming nodded when he heard this: "The one with the Resident Evil crossover? Okay, I'll buy the tickets soon. There will be a China Overseas Major in a few months, and it's all about spending money. It's too miserable."

"Who says boys don't chase stars? Aren't we all chasing after things related to Naughty Cat?" Liu Xianming joked and then shouted, "I've finished playing with Zhang Feng, why don't you two come? Let's get points together?"

"OK!"

After hearing this, roommate A and roommate B also expressed their intention to join.

but.

"Eh? Why can't my game start?" "Damn, me too! Your game can't be started temporarily? What do you mean?"
