Time Travel: 2014 - Chapter 403
c403 Making money as fast as printing money
Lin Hui said: “It can only be said that it was a hit on the first day. It’s hard to say about its long-term performance.”
Lin Hui’s words are not entirely modest, as the number of effective downloads has now reached over 11 million.
But Lin Hui estimates that it would be good if the total effective downloads could reach 16 to 7 million.
After all, there is no possibility for a small game like “Dinosaur Mini Game” that is not very complicated to become popular slowly.
Basically, players who are somewhat interested in the gameplay of this kind of game can jump in directly.
As for those who don’t enter immediately, they will basically not enter, or they will simply use their brains.
After listening to Lin Hui’s words, Huang Jing couldn’t help but sigh: “If you don’t have such humility, how can you live with such humility, boss? The sales volume of my game on the first day overseas broke the record of domestic games, and it is close to RMB. Two hundred million yuan!
Other developers make money, but you are just printing money.
For a small game with a buyout system, this is already an incredible achievement. ”
Lin Hui asked: “Is it that exaggerated?”
Huang Jing said: “Of course, let’s put it this way, your current performance, let alone comparing it with others, is that your revenue capability is enough to make many game companies feel inferior!”
Lin Hui: “The sales volume on the first day was relatively high, but the high sales volume on the first day was still the result of overdrafting the long-term potential.
This kind of buyout mini-game has always been like this. The previous buyout mini-games had good results on the first day, but their scores were cut in half on the second day.
But now it’s okay, originally it was just a casual thing. ”
Huang Jing: “Well, excellent…but I don’t pretend to be like that! Can we still have fun, huh!”
Lin Hui continued: “It’s wrong to hit people, and you should be happy with me. The reason why I can achieve such good results in this game this time is inseparable from the advice you gave me. If If the original price was set at US$1, it might be possible to make small profits but quick turnover, but it would probably not be as good as the current revenue level.”
Huang Jing: “I just mentioned it casually.”
Huang Jing continued: “I remember when you made “HILL CLIMB RACING”, although it was free for a limited time when it was launched, the overseas price was still US$12.99. In this case, even if you made the game after “HILL CLIMB RACING” Even if the price falls back, it can never fall back to $1. The price must at least be a fraction of the previous price. If it still returns to $1, wouldn’t that mean there is no progress?”
Huang Jing did not mention her suggestion that Lin Hui increase the price of the dinosaur mini-game. Instead, she mentioned Lin Hui’s overseas pricing strategy for “HILL CLIMB RACING”, a game that was limited to free of charge as soon as it was launched, just like the reason why Lin Hui had opposed the previous game. This game is priced at US$12.99 overseas just to let gamers get used to the price in advance.
According to Huang Jing’s statement, Lin Hui has already been preparing for future price increases for games.
Is this what people in the workplace think of? I don’t take any credit for saying this.
Although Huang Jing did not take any credit, it was impossible for Huang Jing to turn a blind eye to Lin Hui’s suggestions these two times.
Lin Hui: “Anyway, thanks to your suggestion this time, I really don’t know how to thank you!”
Huang Jing joked: “Haha, you are not going to give me a bonus…”
Lin Hui: “It’s not impossible. Your two suggestions have really helped me a lot.”
