I just want players to save money, but I was made the richest man - Chapter 227

c220 So get going, faded ones!

“The story ends here, and the entire world view of the Ring of Law is almost over in our program.”

“From the earliest age of the Forge, to the time when the Supreme Will appointed the Beast of Elden to land on the Junction.”

“The initial golden tree took root in the furnace, and then the golden age came.”

“Then we experienced a series of turmoil over the establishment of the throne, as well as secret games between various forces at the border.”

“Until the Broken War started, the shocking battle between Valkyrie and Broken Star at the Wailing Dunes of Galede was the final conclusion of the entire Broken War.”

“Just like what the opening CG said.”

“This is a war that no one can win, and the Supreme Will has given up on everyone at this moment.”

“At this point, the entire junction area has been devastated and dilapidated.”

“But even in such a decadent world, there are still people who have not given up the pursuit of beauty.”

“There are many warriors with strong faith who are still walking on the path of pursuing hope.”

“What kind of world should the junction be, and what kind of legal rule should all things live under? It’s actually difficult to say clearly. Even if I have played through all the endings of the game, I can’t describe which ending is the best. Suitable for players and best for junctions.”

“Because along the way, you will find that every BOSS you defeat is a former hero. Brother Hu, Vic, the Hollaus family, and even the last mentioned Menggert, although they have different philosophies, There are differences, but they all fight to pursue the truth in their hearts, even at the cost of their lives, and want to implement their beliefs to the end.”

“And among these beliefs, you can’t tell which one is more noble and which one should be pursued more.”

“Players can temporarily change the status quo of the border area, but they cannot truly foresee the future or determine the future direction. It seems that every choice has its own morality, and we are just ordinary members of the world, even if we become kings It’s still ordinary.”

“Perhaps in this way, we can more closely appreciate the weight of history and the epic and majestic world view that cannot be easily shaken.”

“But no matter what, the junction is still a charming world, whether it is the snow-capped Holy Snowfield, or Liyenia where the moon and dreams are hidden, whether it is the star directly connected to the ceiling, no matter where it is in the world. The dazzling golden tree that can be seen is still a sacred tree with corrupted roots. Standing on the top of the mountain, the ancient storm that never stops roaring day and night, the people of the Eternal City sinking into the ground never stop yearning for the stars, and that Like the Blood Dynasty, which is like lights on the other side, the Galede wilderness is dyed in scarlet… the whole world exudes a kind of dilapidated and confused beauty.”

“Every time a strong enemy falls, there will be a sense of conquest. Yes, I conquered this area, I conquered this enemy, I conquered this epic. I am a faded hero, an unknown king, wandering across the border. The killer of the earth is also a wolf licking blood from his knife edge.”

“Perhaps this is the case. The popularity of “Elden’s Circle” has not diminished since its release, and it has always been loved by the majority of players. The hazy and dilapidated world still attracts countless newcomers, so…”

At this point, Madoka’s voice suddenly stopped.

His video screen also slowly faded out.

Not long after the dark screen, light appeared again.

In front of him is an ancient circular altar battlefield.

An ancient gray dragon king with wings that could cover the sky and the sun was entrenched here. When it raised its head and roared, the ground shook and the mountains shook, and wisps of crimson lightning continued to fall.

But standing in front of the huge dragon king, the faded one like a sparrow showed no fear and lightly jumped up on one foot. The long sword in his hand also transformed into a red lightning spear at this moment, and the electric current surged. There was a crackling sound of terrifying energy.

As the wind roared, the two looked at each other from a distance, and the majestic and epic background music sounded!

Madoka also spoke in a low voice, word by word.

“So get going, Faded One!”

“Even if the guidance is broken, please be the King of Elden!”

————

As of the 20th day of the release of “Elden’s Ring”.

The first-tier anchors have completed the entire game process.

As for the second echelon, the subsequent players who entered the pit have already reached the end one after another.

But the charm of “Elden’s Circle” continues to expand throughout the world.

New players are jumping into the game one after another, and the sales volume of “Elden’s Circle” is increasing instead of decreasing, rising steadily.

The reason.

The main reason is that the ring-like game type, which is a mixture of various novel concepts such as ‘open world’, ‘ring box garden’, ‘ring aesthetics’, and ‘ring plot’, has become the most popular concept in the current game industry. .

As previously analyzed by a group of designers at Weiwangdi.

The game “Elden’s Ring”, if any of the points mentioned in it are separated separately, I am afraid it can become the best game of the year.

But the number one player was almost crazy and threw them all together!

The excitement caused can be imagined.

In addition to the fact that the quality of the game itself can withstand torture, no matter how much players praise it, it cannot be overstated.

Many second creations have also made the game itself popular, and it has been out of the circle again and again.

‘Rational discussion, what can Greg pick to beat the faded one’, ‘First Class Love Affair’, ‘For Lani’, ‘Ring of Magic BVB’, ‘Useless Person Level 1 Innocuous Tree Guard’, ‘Random A series of high-quality and interesting second-generation videos, such as “disrupting the order of appearance of all BOSSs in the border area,” went viral among the player community.

Ke Jin glanced at the sales volume backstage and couldn’t help but feel secretly frightened.

So far, in just three weeks, French Ring has sold nearly 20 million units.

The popularity of “Elden” is even more fierce than in previous lives.

You know, in the previous life on Earth, the sales volume of “Elden” was only more than 20 million a year later.

But at Blue Star, it took only three weeks to reach an approximation of this number.

If it is more stable, it will definitely beat the sales volume of the previous life within a month.

If you think about it carefully, maybe it’s because there were soul-based works in the previous life, and the open world concept is not that unusual.

But in Blue Star, all of this is a surprise that players have never experienced before, so it is not surprising that sales have soared.

“Fortunately, I was on the safe side and chose to adopt a system of different charging standards in different countries, which diluted the risk of high selling prices in some developed countries. Otherwise, the sales would have exploded now…” Ke Jin glanced at the sales backstage.

The system low consumption limit is 5 billion.

The current sales are more than 3 billion points.

10 days left.

A total of 3 billion was cut in the first 20 days, and the sales surged by 2 billion in the last 10 days?

Not likely.

In addition, the navy that I hired has taken root in the grassroots players. Now many domestic players get “Elden” through such channels as the Argentine server and the Turkish server.

Compared with the price of 299 yuan in China, you can get it for only about 50 yuan in these regional servers.

For many poor people who are in school or have just started working and don’t have much money, the price/performance ratio is simply not too high.

Players are happy and can buy good games for not much money.

I am also happy, the task is almost completed.

Win-win!

“To be honest, I really can’t think of anything else that can make me overturn this time.” Ke Jin poured himself a small Coke, buried his body comfortably on the sofa, shook slightly, and then groaned.

Tsk~

Transparent!

The revolution is about to succeed, and the dawn of victory is ahead!

“BOSS, the situation is not ideal.”

Weiwangdi Headquarters.

As soon as Connor arrived at the office, his secretary knocked on the door and then came in to report.

After listening to the secretary’s summary, Connor also frowned deeply.

DFgame is currently the largest game platform in the world, and it also has a monopoly nature.

Peak daily active players can exceed 50 million.

The monthly activity is even more terrifying, reaching nearly 300 million.

What is this concept?

About 1/20 people in the world log into DFgame at least once a month.

Even though there are many monthly activities, they are either playing games that have been purchased, or coming to browse but not consume.

But in the face of such a huge base.

There are 300 million monthly active players. Even if 1% of the players purchased a game that month, this is still a consumer group of 3 million.

If one person buys any product for a hundred yuan, this is a profit of 300 million.

But you must know that among the monthly active players who choose to use DFgame, it is impossible for only 1/100 players to buy only one product a month.

According to the summary of Weiwangdi’s financial report last year.

There are only 10% monthly active users, and the average interval between game purchases is 1 to 3 months.

Nearly 50% of users have monthly activity, and the average number of games purchased in a month is 2.73.

The average monthly consumption value of all DFgame users is approximately 38.91 knives.

What is this concept?

DFgame’s turnover from purchasing games alone exceeds 10 billion U.S. dollars every month.

This is not the biggest one.

Krypton gold games, although the root of all evil is SE, an East Asian game manufacturer.

But after more than 20 years of development, there are also many popular heavy krypton games in the Omi Zone.

Among them, the game “Zerg” is the best-selling Krypton-heavy online game under Blizzard, and is listed on the shelves through DFgame.

This kind of cash flow, because there is an in-app purchase system, the payment will bypass the DFgame platform (for details, please refer to Yongjie Wujiang, steam’s commission is based on its selling price of 98 yuan, the sales of in-app purchases steam Not participating in the commission, I’m not sure what the agreement will be after it’s free now)

These heavy krypton games are by no means rare in DFgame.

Therefore, the monthly turnover of the entire DFgame platform is very exaggerated.

But just now, Connor learned the latest news from his secretary.

Although this news will not affect DFgame immediately, from a long-term benefit perspective, once this matter is accepted by the majority of players.

It will continue to damage DFgame’s interests in the future.

“Is Ready Player One crazy?”

“Isn’t just entering the venue enough? He also wants to destroy all of our jobs?” Connor clenched his fists instantly and gritted his teeth.

And just after he finished speaking, the phone on his desk rang.

As soon as he answered the call, the representative from the board of directors scolded Connor.

Even though he was as high as the CEO of Weiwangdi, Connor did not dare to say a word after being scolded so much.

There is no way, for a company structure, the board of directors has the right to remove the CEO at any time.

After agreeing submissively and promising to deal with the matter immediately, the other party hung up the phone unceremoniously.

Connor then breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The secretary also asked at this time.

“BOSS, the number one player is obviously coming for us, what should we do now?”

“Don’t worry, let me think about it first. The more you get to this time, the more you need to think calmly.” Connor intertwined his hands on the table and narrowed his eyes slightly in thought.

It is currently known that the number one player has taken over the Nplay platform and is the largest shareholder of Nplay.

After the release of “Elden’s Ring”, all aspects of data and popularity have been extremely explosive.

Let alone compare with his own “Shadow Demon Realm”, it is at a level that is not even worthy of lifting shoes.

Originally, Connor had already given up on winning the award.

The quality really cannot beat others, there is nothing to say.

But what really pissed him off was this.

Ready Player One has made changes to the sales amount of Elden’s Circle.

Globally, different countries are divided into different selling price ranges.

This is the first time for the entire Blue Star market.

Take our own DFgame as an example.

All games under the DFgame platform have the same global price.

But the pricing is based on the consumption level of players in developed regions.

During the interview, Connor’s external rhetoric was also very high-sounding and impeccable.

“This is an expression of treating players from all over the world equally. It is very fair. I really can’t think of anything else that can show more respect for players from all over the world than this way.”

But the implication is that Connor doesn’t care about the game market other than Omi.

Many major games don’t even mention Chinese dubbing.

Even subtitles are not translated into Chinese, which is a common practice.

They don’t even care about the Chinese market, let alone players from other small and poor countries.

In Connor’s eyes.

This group of players are poor people who want nothing but only play pirated games.

Even if you give them a cheaper price, they may still piracy.

And even if they don’t engage in piracy, if you price them according to the consumption level of poor countries, how much is it worth?

Furthermore.

If you discount one game at 10%, you might be able to sell 10 copies.

But if you only need to sell one copy at the original price, you can make enough money to sell 10 copies at a discount.

It is precisely for this reason that DFgame has never taken any measures to reduce fees for players from countries with low consumption levels.

For players outside the Omi region, if you want to play or not, just buy it at the original price.

If Big Brother, the leader, is like this, other game platforms of Omi will naturally not let up.

In fact, Nplay also adopted a global unified selling price before the number one player took over.

As a result, the number one player is now rebelling!

Not only the price of “Elden” has been changed.

And the scope of the changes is extremely large!

When you collect all the coupons, you can purchase “Elden” for less than $5m.

With the quality of “Elden”, it costs 5 meters?

This would make any player laugh out of their dreams.

The more important thing is.

Ready Player One does not appear to be region-locking servers for players from various countries.

That is to say…

It is easy for players to change their nationality on the Nplay platform…

He is a person who can become an Argentine citizen and a Turkish citizen with just a shake of his hand.

This move is tantamount to directly breaking the original order of the international game market.

Now the backlash has slowly begun to form, and the voices of more and more players are gradually amplifying.

Started to point the finger at the DFgame platform.

Many players expressed their opinions.

“If Ready Player One can continue this move, then Ready Player One will be my adoptive father for the rest of my life… no, his biological father!”

“Poor players said that this is really close to the people. I can’t imagine that in today’s game market environment dominated by capital oligarchs, there can be such a game company that allows players to enjoy the highest quality games on the market while also Let players get it at the lowest price!”

“Before this, I never dared to do this, but now you all know that Ready Player One has done it! It has done things that I could never dream of! Ready Player One is so powerful! The sculptural designer is great Got it!!”

“If the Nplay platform can launch more game prices that meet the consumption standards of poor countries in the future, then I will permanently uninstall DFgame! And I will promote Nplay for free every day! I am the most loyal dog of Ready Player One!”

Such a sound can be regarded as a player’s ridicule at first.

But by the time the secretary reported, the global voice could no longer be ignored.

This hole has been opened.

Players have also tasted the benefits.

This is definitely a very dangerous signal.

Let the number one player continue to play like this.

It doesn’t take much.

3 years later.

The number of users currently accumulated on the DFgame platform will decrease by more than 90%!

This is something Wei Wangdi will never tolerate.

After all, compared to making games, the game platform is the real revenue source of Weiwangdi.

This is why, when Connor learned the news, he yelled, ‘Ready Player One is a madman.

After the board of directors learned the news, they quickly called Connor and scolded Connor bloody.

All senior executives of Weiwangdi are aware of the critical nature of this matter!

He also realized what kind of opponent he was facing.

Although the opponent is not yet formed in size.

But it’s really not profitable!

It’s such a desperate style of play!

“It will definitely not work to directly stop the number one player from canceling the different charging standards of different countries.” Connor thought quickly in his mind.

On the Nplay platform, Weiwangdi currently holds less than 40% of the shares, and the stock market has been rising since the release of “Elden”, making some retail investors reluctant to sell their shares.

As a result, Weiwangdi was unable to acquire the remaining equity and had no way to make the decision.

Without the right to make the decision, the number one player could set whatever price he wanted, and Wei Wangdi could only stare.

“Then there’s only one last move left…” Connor gritted his teeth with difficulty.

Although I don’t want to admit it.

But he had to say it.

This is a last resort.

“Pass this message to me and ask all employees in the operations department to work overtime in the recent period.”

“Then contact the public relations department to hire trolls and spend money to deal with major media.”

“Spare no effort in publicity.”

“This announcement will not promote any games.”

“It’s about implanting a core value into players – letting them know that buying cheap games is wrong. Games are too cheap and game companies cannot continue to operate.”

“Then they set the pace and let the trolls pretend to be normal players who buy games, and discriminate and abuse players who buy games cheaply.”

“In the end, we just need to achieve a result that allows players to regard buying games at regular prices as an honor and to buy games at cheap prices as a shame.”

After explaining all this, Connor’s expression relaxed a lot.

There was a cold smile on the corner of his mouth.

“I believe that with the ability of our country’s media to confuse right and wrong, they will find a way. Money is not an issue.”
