The Creator of the Second Dimension

The Independent Game Awards of the steam platform undoubtedly exploded the game industry as a trigger. After many manufacturers saw the potential and development direction of the steam platform, they abandoned their hostility and joined in the cooperation.

Many people can't understand why they would rather share with the platform and reduce their income than go online on the steam platform.

In fact, many people only see the surface.

For example, a game can sell 100,000 copies and earn 10 million. After landing on the steam platform, it will sell two of the income to the steam platform, but the sales volume may increase several times. Overall, it is still a stable profit.

The increase of games attracts users, and the increase of users attracts games, which promotes the development of the steam platform very rapidly.

Relying on the initial users of mobile games and web games, as well as the users bound to Hatsune Video Network, the steam platform has reached tens of millions of users. After two months of increasing number of games, this number has reached 40 million.

At the same time, the steam platform is not only launched in China, but also gradually deployed abroad.

Of course, there were also some resistance.

Tom Granger, a well-known food video producer at the overseas site of Chuyin Video Network, recently encountered a little problem.

The launch of the steam platform in the Kingdom of England went smoothly. After all, Europe is the first overseas market for Hatsune Video Network, but some of his friends are very troubled.

"It's really terrible. I didn't expect that the steam platform would not be able to enter because of the review."

In the voice, a person is speaking English with a strong accent and is complaining to Tom.

"Hey, buddy, don't be discouraged, at least you can still log in to steam in the European area, right?"

Tom comforted.

"But I have to worry about whether this software will be blocked that day."

On the other end of the voice is Basil Ampton, who lives on the west coast of the Commonwealth. The economy of his country is also very developed, second only to China. The steam platform naturally chose the Commonwealth as the location for one of the servers.

However, there is one item in the user agreement of the steam platform that cannot pass the laws of the Federal State, that is, the uploading of games, the publication of comments, etc., need to be reviewed by the platform before they can be released. The Federal State believes that this damages the freedom of speech of citizens and requires Steam The platform was modified so that it does not need to be reviewed, and the steam platform did not agree to this modification due to various considerations, so it was blocked outside the federal state.

Now, although users of the Federal State can log in to the steam platform through the European region, legally speaking, this is "illegal". The Federal State has the right to cut off the domestic connection to steam at any time. , is the "wall" off.

The Federal State has a large number of independent game producers, not to mention those big game manufacturers. The experience of the steam platform in the Federal State has also aroused dissatisfaction among these people. They strongly criticized on social platforms, but they were banned one after another. , and can only use some pronouns to discuss this matter.

After chatting for a while, Tom and the others still felt that it was okay to play the game, so they started online.

The game they played was a new game on the steam platform, not an independent game, but the work of a little-known small factory.

The name of the game is "Hell Paratrooper". Because of the similar words, it is also called "Hell Old Driver".

This is a shooting game with a 45-degree bird's-eye view. The general background is that the universe where the players are located has been invaded by aliens such as Zerg. Players need to control airborne troops to fight on various planets.

The number of weapons in the game is quite rich, and they have distinct characteristics. There are rifles and pistols with live ammunition, flamethrowers, and beam weapons. In addition, there are tanks, mechas and other vehicles.

"Hell Paratroopers" has a game feature, that is, the weapon will not be loaded automatically, and the player needs to manually control the loading. If the game is connected to the handle, then when the weapon is empty, there will be a click sound from the handle. Facing the tide The monsters that surged up seemed to have a sense of urgency.

But only these, this is an ordinary Wushuang swipe game.

The most characteristic design of "Hell Paratroopers" is the friendly army damage.

On the plane, the player's bullets will not only kill the enemy, but also injure teammates, and even request the airdropped supplies to kill themselves. , this unexpected situation is also very happy.

Tom knew that this game was played by the anchors of the live broadcast platform he watched. He found it interesting, so he bought it with his friends, and he became addicted immediately.

It has to be said that the anchors are indeed much better at promoting games.

In the past, most of the anchors played the most popular games nowadays, either everyone played "The Last Survivor" together, or everyone played "Breath of the Wild", but since the Steam platform, the fun of many anchors has become Discover all kinds of unpopular games on the platform.

For example, the game "Hell Paratroopers" was released in November last year. It was sold on SN4, PC, and black box platforms. , was discovered by several anchors. In just two weeks, the sales volume of the game exceeded 500,000. The manufacturer even asked the steam platform to write a letter to thank them very much. They also designed a Gauss rifle exclusive to the steam platform. To every player on the steam platform.

This is just a microcosm. Due to the strong anchor influence of Chuyin Video Network and the variety of games on the steam platform, the two have formed a strong alliance.

For example, on the game details page of the steam platform, you can see which anchors have broadcast live or are currently broadcasting this game. Buy.

In the live broadcast area of ​​Hatsune Video Network, when the anchors are broadcasting the game, they can also hang a tag with the name of the game. If the player is interested, they can directly click on the tag to jump to the game purchase page on the steam platform and place an order for purchase.

The anchor needs different game content to give the audience a sense of freshness, and the game also needs a more friendly publicity method, and Hatsune Video Network and Steam Platform just happen to have both.

Now, the biggest regret of many players is probably that the two games "The Last of Us" and "Breath of the Wild" have not been logged into the steam platform. Even if the exclusive agreement of these two games expires in the future, the players' accounts cannot be transferred. here we go.

But at the same time, due to the existence of "Monster Hunter", players have a lot of expectations, expecting this game to bring them surprises.

But in a small village in the west of China, some people are doing things that have nothing to do with these things.
