This kind of news may not be a big deal to players.
Because everyone is playing games, they don’t particularly care about the game’s revenue.
As for the proportion of paying players, this kind of data is not particularly closely related to game content, and it is of little interest.
For the players.
They only know that this charging model is more fair to the gaming environment, and that's enough.
but!
For the entire gaming industry, this is undoubtedly news like an asteroid hitting the earth!
58.2%!!!
A game that has only been online for seven days!
Paying players account for more than half!
Even approaching 60%!
What is this concept?
If we compare games to people, then other children at the same time as APEX are still learning to walk.
However, the APEX children went to the National Games, competed with a bunch of professional athletes who had been trained on the battlefield every day, and came back with a medal.
This is no longer a matter of being strong or not!
This outrageous game has surpassed ordinary evaluation standards!
Whose kid can run a hundred meters as soon as he lands?
You can't even dream of doing this!
However!
This is a result that seems completely unreasonable.
Golden Wind did it, APEX achieved it.
The news came.
Friends and colleagues in the game industry exploded instantly!

There are hundreds of replies and comments below!
#2 Rat Rat Wo Duck: Occupying the second floor, this data is too outrageous? Is it possible that China Entertainment Technology made a mistake? (Thinking)
#5 Turkey Flavor Crispy Rice: It’s unlikely. I saw that China Entertainment Electronics also specifically noted that this data is not included in the average statistics. This means that China Entertainment Electronics must also think that this data is outrageous and has verified it several times.
#7 Gray Mist: Don’t doubt it. Our team made statistics and the data is correct. After checking it three times, everyone is numb (depressed)
#11 A cluster of small flames: It is indeed so outrageous. At our certain Yan side, the executives were all taken to a meeting. They should be studying the charging model of Paipai.
#12 Don’t eat coriander: I have to say that the pass is too special to reduce dimensionality. It not only ensures daily life, but also ensures revenue.
#16 The bitter polar bear: This wave of 58.2 is so awesome. It is operated by a certain vine. Even we here have started to study this charging model. Can you believe it?
#17 was seriously injured and fell to the ground: Our company’s games are about the same period as Pipai. We thought the ratio of more than 7 points was very high, but suddenly it hit 58.2 (crying)
#21Yaxy: This ratio is really outrageous. It’s 60 in one week. Wouldn’t it be 90 after operating for about a year? (Petrochemical)
#34 Gratitude and Blessing: Hey, what’s all the fuss about? Previously, TTF accounted for 103% on Yiyoux2. More games were sold than somatosensory cabins. Is this something a human being can do? (Funny)
#38 Brass Bullet Case: From Titan to APEX, Xiao Huang’s data in this series are so outrageous that they can’t be compared to...
#59 I am a slide shovel: With the data on the proportion of paying players coming out, it is estimated that the in-app purchase charging model of free games will be shaken.
#92 Everything will only hurt you: Anyway, according to the old friends from dozens of large and small manufacturers above, pass + no attributes should set off a trend...
#99 Canned Coke 1: Laxative, people in Zhenting have already started making passes...
Hot discussion!
As many industry colleagues in the forum said.
The emergence of passes + no attributes can be regarded as an all-round dimensionality reduction blow for today’s free game market.
Perhaps it’s because players have long-standing grudges against attribute sales, or perhaps it’s the excellent design of Golden Wind’s accessories, or perhaps it’s the emotional attribute bonus in Titanfall.
In short.
When nearly 60% of paying players appear.
Almost all free game producers and operators have studied APEX as a key case.
Major game manufacturers have taken action one after another, trying to keep up with the pace of the golden wind, focusing on the quality of the game itself and accessories, and studying this new, acclaimed and popular charging model...

"No... I really shouldn't bring anything like this shampoo, shower gel, facial cleanser, etc.?"
"It's a checked baggage anyway, and it won't kill you, so take it with you."
"Then this is...?"
"The shoulder and neck massager, the Neon side is really curling up. You've been able to get used to it like a fish in water. Remember to relax a little every day so it won't affect your work."
"Okay, but what is this mask?"
"It's only for men, just apply one when you think of it."
"I guess I can't remember either."
"It doesn't matter, I will remind you. Oh, by the way, the razor is placed on the side for you. Then here are toiletries, here are daily medicines, turn over and this side is daily change of clothes..."
Monday morning, in Gu Sheng's apartment.
Gu Sheng, who was neatly dressed, was buttoning his cuffs while looking at little Nezha, who was wearing strawberry bear pajamas, and explained to him what was in the suitcase.
Nagging and nagging without getting tired of it.
A warmth filled Gu Sheng's heart, making his eyes softer and gentler.
From yesterday to now.
Little Nezha was worried about the luggage he would bring with him on this business trip.
It can be as big as a laptop or as small as soap and facial cleanser.
From purchasing to packing and packing, everything was handled by Shen Miaomiao.
now.
His suitcase is full, like a treasure chest.
It was filled with travel supplies and even heavier worries.
Gu Sheng is not an idiot in life.
On the contrary, he has been living alone and is able to take good care of himself.
but.
This time, he didn't interfere, but just coveted this unprecedented warmth.
"...Well, that's basically it, do you understand?"
With a click, Shen Miaomiao locked the big suitcase and raised her head to look at Gu Sheng.
"Understood."
With a click, Gu Sheng buckled the Mickey watch and nodded with a smile, but his eyes kept falling on Shen Miaomiao's face.
Shen Miaomiao felt a little embarrassed and wrinkled her nose:
"You know what a hammer, I'm afraid you didn't even look at the suitcase just now."
After being exposed, Gu Sheng's old face turned red and he grinned a little embarrassedly:
"They won't run away anyway. I'll take care of them when I get to Neon."
"That's true."
Saying that, Shen Miaomiao exclaimed, grabbed the handle of the suitcase with both hands, and pulled up the big suitcase.
The two of them walked to the gate.
"The house will be handed over to you?"
Gu Sheng looked around the apartment, which looked more and more like home, and finally laid his eyes on little Nezha.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it!"
Shen Miaomiao smiled playfully and patted her chest.
Gu Sheng opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't.
And Shen Miaomiao did the same, scratching her head and waving her hand towards Gu Sheng:
"Then...see you in one month or two months?"
"Um,"
Gu Sheng nodded:
"Evacuate first. They will take me to the airport on the mainland. They are already downstairs."
After saying that, Gu Sheng turned around, turned the door handle, and headed towards Neon.
However.
Before he could open the door.
Just then, Shen Miaomiao's voice sounded from behind.
"Lao Gu!"
"What's wrong?"
Gu Sheng turned back.
The next second.
A breath as sweet as a peach came to his face, and Gu Sheng felt a warmth in his arms. The light and soft person had already stood up on tiptoes and hugged his neck.
"Polite hugs... have a safe journey."
Little Nezha's voice was soft and waxy, so quiet that it sounded like a mosquito humming.
Gu Sheng's mind went blank!
He raised his hand mechanically, put his arm around the slender waist of the gentle girl in his arms, and patted her gently:
"Ah...ah shun...shunfeng..."
"Definitely a tailwind."
Phew.
Shen Miaomiao couldn't help laughing, she giggled, and lightly slapped Gu Sheng on the back: "You should smoke less and eat more fruits when you get there."
"But the fruits over there are very expensive." Gu Sheng said softly.
"Who are you looking down on?" Shen Miaomiao rolled her eyes and curled her lips: "I will reimburse you."
Gu Sheng also smiled: "The boss is very generous."
"Also remember to report your work status every day." Shen Miaomiao continued.
"Okay," Gu Sheng agreed and also told: "It will get cold soon. Remember to find your own clothes, a thermometer, antipyretics and some commonly used medicines. They are all in the small medicine box in the sideboard. Remember if you feel uncomfortable. Call Secretary Chu..."
"Okay, got it,"
Shen Miaomiao listened to the instructions in her ear and smiled like a flower, unable to take the corner of her mouth away:
"It's not like I can't take care of myself."
A moment of silence.
Gu Sheng's voice was soft: "Then let's..."
"Uh..." Shen Miaomiao bit her lips.
The two of them let go of their arms, then looked at each other and smiled.
Gu Sheng turned around, pushed the door open and walked out, waving his hand behind him: "Let's go! Bye!"
And Shen Miaomiao's voice also sounded behind her:
"Brave young man, go and create a miracle!"
…
Bang.
After the car door closed, Gu Sheng patted the front seat:
"Master, go to Binjiang Airport."
"Don't use the clock,"
Master Lu Bian in the front seat smiled and started the car.
"What the hell are you so dark?"
Gu Sheng made a surprised expression:
"I'm complaining about you."
"You vote,"
Lu Bian curled his lips and said, "It's like 2,580,000 yuan."
"From here to Binjiang Airport, a piece of gossip of no less than two thousand words, no bargaining."
"I...have any gossip to tell,"
As the car started, Gu Sheng looked out the window with some guilt:
"I am as clear as water and as bright as a mirror, no less than the veil shining on thousands of lamps, as bright as day, I..."
"Brother Sheng, can you stop bragging?"
Before Lu Bian could speak, Dajiang in the passenger seat couldn't listen anymore:
"You didn't even close your mouth when you came out of the building. You grinned almost to the back of your head. It was as if you were floating. You slipped out. I could see it."
Gu Sheng:......
Is it that obvious?
Scratching his head: "There's really no gossip..."
"It's so boring, you Lao Gu,"
Lu Bian was stunned and dissatisfied:
"Dajiang Hangchi Hangchi and I walked across half of the riverside to see you off. Why? Isn't it just for these two pieces of gossip of yours? Your attitude is not very cooperative!"
"ah?"
Gu Sheng was very hurt and covered his heart:
"I thought you guys came to see your buddies off out of brotherly affection!"
"laugh--"
Lu Bian sneered:
"Don't send it to me. There is no brotherhood in gossip. If you don't tell me, I will turn around and go to the train station in the north of the city for you."
"Oh shit? You're threatening me!"
Gu Sheng was shocked by the two people's shamelessness.
"Yes, I'm just threatening you!"
Lu Bian bared his teeth in the rearview mirror and made a 'vicious' expression:
"Or I'll treat you to breakfast!"
Dajiang, who was standing next to him, also added in a timely manner: "This is how we do things."
Impressed.
Gu Sheng was speechless, and couldn't resist Master Lu who was holding the steering wheel, so he could only roll his eyes:
"It's nothing. We just went shopping yesterday. She helped me buy some supplies for my business trip and then packed my luggage. I didn't want to bring it with me at first, but I couldn't resist Xiao Nezha, so... that's all.
There’s really no gossip.”
Gu Sheng shrugged and had no choice but to 'explain honestly'.
However!
Lu Bian took a breath of cold air!
“Hiss—this is called ‘no gossip’?!”
"What kind of gossip is this?" Gu Sheng spread his hands and said, "It's just buying me some supplies and packing my luggage."
"Hey! Tsk, tsk, tsk! Listen, listen, are you speaking in human language?"
Lu Bian is ‘heartbroken’:
"I should record a message for you and send it to Mr. Ou. Mr. Ou will definitely run away from home!"
"ha?!"
Gu Sheng was confused:
"As for that?"
"Nonsense! Teacher Lu's small class has started!"
Lubian Road:
"Let me ask you, why do you think Mr. Ou insisted on bringing you these supplies?"
"Because..." Gu Sheng scratched his head: "Because she's afraid that I won't be used to neon ones?"
"madness!"
Lu Bian's voice rose an octave:
"Global trade! Food, clothing, toiletries and other things, we and Neon are in the same boat, who can't use the other's?"
"That's true..."
Gu Sheng couldn't refute.
"So! She's not worried that you won't be used to neon!"
Lu Bian hates that iron cannot become steel:
"She just wants you to use what she has prepared for you! Let you think of her all the time!"
"I don't understand this! It's nothing!!!"
The car sped towards the airport, and Gu Sheng in the back seat was speechless.
No wonder little Nezha is so determined to pack his own luggage.
"real?"
Gu Sheng thought about it for a long time and smacked his lips:
"I thought……"
"What do you think you think,"
Lu Bian interrupted him and sighed helplessly, explaining to Comrade Lao Gu who was obsessed with the authorities:
"Think about it for yourself, what is Mr. Ou's identity?"
"She is the only daughter of Shen Wanlin, the helmsman of Shen Capital. In the words of Xiao Xiba, she is called the daughter of a rich man!"
"A young lady brought up in such a family would casually share a house with a man?"
hiss--
Lu Bian's words made Gu Sheng thoughtful.
In the past, although he could feel the indescribable feelings between himself and little Nezha, they were always vague and hazy.
But now, after some advice from Master Lu, he suddenly felt like "The tide came from the Qiantang River, and today you know that I am who you are."
Thinking.
The car stopped and the group of people arrived at the airport.
After hugging Lu Bian Dajiang and saying goodbye, Gu Sheng walked into the airport.
He dragged his heavy luggage to check it in, thinking about it as he walked, and kept recalling what Lao Lu just said to him in his mind:
"My boss, Mr. Ou, has already done this. It's time for you to show your support. Even if you don't say straight-ball, you still act like a gentleman."
Um……
Gu Sheng nodded.
It seems that I need to pay more attention in the future, and also have some attitude and expression.
but!
now!
The Silent Hill PT project is coming soon, so let’s focus on career first!
After all, Lao Lu's words also reminded him that little Nezha was the daughter of a wealthy family.
If you want to truly be a couple, in addition to understanding each other's feelings, more importantly, you must go in both directions.
Since I am responsible for the system, I must make sure that I have no regrets.
Now, Golden Wind is about to enter the 1 billion club and become a medium-sized game company.
And this is just a small step forward for us.
Brilliant, Furious, Thunder, Swift Vine, Yiyou, Comella, Yunwei, Prestige...
The game market in this world is now at its peak.
And I, in this dazzling prosperity, will step onto the throne of the King of Games and reach the top of the world!
certainly!
The road to becoming the king of games is still long.
