Cameron felt that he had arrived early enough. At this moment, he had not seen many pedestrians on the streets of Chicago, but right in front of this small game retail store, there was already a long queue of dozens of people.

.

America is different from China. Except for concerts, sports competitions, celebration days and other activities, it is usually rare to see so many people queuing up.

Looking at the dozens of people queuing up in front of the small game retail store, Cameron saw several game fans like him, and he could recognize those people just by looking at their attire.

Cameron can understand that these game fans came so early, but among them, there are a few guys with big muscles and thick waists and tattoos all over their arms. They have a street vibe about them and they are gang members at first glance. Cameron

Lun didn't know why they were here to join in the fun.

What Cameron didn't know was that not only in front of this game retail store, but also in front of game stores in big cities such as New York and Los Angeles, there were also many gangs and scalpers running out to stock up on "Interstellar" products in large quantities.

"Struggle for Hegemony" disc.

After tasting the sweetness of "Diablo" last time, the people in these gangs want to repeat their old tricks and work hard to sell other gadgets. They have not made much money by reselling game discs. For the people in these gangs,

It’s easy to imagine how to choose.

Cameron was glad that he didn't have to queue today, otherwise he didn't know if he would be able to buy it today.

Just as he was about to leave and headed towards a large game chain store, Cameron heard a few gang members shouting to Thomas, the owner of the game store, "Thomas, our boss wants all the StarCraft discs."

Got it!"

Hearing that these people wanted to buy all the game discs, Cameron felt depressed. When Cameron saw some buyers lined up behind the gang members, they all looked angry, but the gang members all looked angry.

He turned around, showed off the tendons on his arms, and gestured to touch a bulging thing near his waist. Those who were dissatisfied with these gang members could only leave angrily.

"Three hundred discs, nineteen thousand five hundred dollars!"

Thomas, the owner of a game retail store, doesn’t want to offend these people. As long as he gives us a dollar, he can sell it to anyone. Snow Mountain has released a lot of game discs in the first week. They can be shipped to all parts of the world and distributed to each game store.

The number of discs is basically in the hundreds or thousands. Some large game retailers will distribute more discs.

But that was the result of completely putting the game discs on the market. Thomas knew that the game agent that supplied him had at least one-third, and maybe even half, of the discs left in hand for preparation.

Sell ​​at a higher price!

Even gangs can think of things that recruit people, but how could those "second-rate dealers" scalpers and the like not think of it.

"Funk, Thomas, why the hell don't you go and grab it? Do you want our boss to come and talk to you personally?!'

When several gang members heard that Thomas dared to ask for 19,000 US dollars for three hundred game discs, they couldn't help but cursed. They felt that they had done something sinister enough, but they didn't expect that someone else would do more.

black.

"This is the price the agent gave me. My purchase price is sixty dollars, and I have to pay fees to the agent, taxes, and store fees. At a price of sixty-five dollars, I don't make any money at all.

Even if your boss comes, I will still pay the same price!"

Thomas was not afraid, and followed several gang members to quarrel with each other. He seemed to know the boss of the other gang.

Thomas's purchase price is definitely not sixty US dollars. The official price of "StarCraft" is indeed sixty US dollars, but Thomas and the others' purchase price from the game agent may only be more than fifty US dollars, or even

Probably less than fifty dollars.

Xueleshan is very profitable for its partners. It ensures that agents, distributors, game retail stores, salesmen and other personnel in the entire game industry chain will make money when working with Xueleshan. This is also the reason why game channel merchants like to work for Xueleshan.

The reason why Leshan sells games is because they can really make money!

But facing these gangs, Thomas didn't want to be soft, so he increased the price by five dollars. He couldn't make much more. He knew that the people in these gangs would dare to increase the price by dozens of dollars.

Seeing the confident Thomas, several gang members scolded each other, but they did not find fault. It was expensive for them to buy a game disc for $65, but they should just increase the price when selling it!

Several gang recruits got the game discs. When they passed by Cameron, they smiled and asked, "Eighty dollars a piece, do you want it?"

Cameron looked helpless. Did he look like a fat sheep? They slaughtered him so blatantly. Seeing Cameron's refusal, several people didn't care. After the last experience, they felt that they wouldn't buy it now.

When all the discs in the world are gone in a few days, I will beg them to sell them!

After watching the scene of gangs snatching goods, Cameron did not stop and headed towards one of the largest game retail stores in Chicago. He had previously placed an order on the Sierra Online platform and pre-ordered a set of "Collector's Edition" of "StarCraft"

"Xueleshan Company has distributed the "Collector's Edition of StarCraft" to game retail stores. He only needs to take the voucher to pick it up. This is also a hidden benefit of purchasing the Collector's Edition.

Especially after seeing the scene just now, Cameron felt that the "Collector's Edition" of StarCraft for $99 a set really didn't seem like a scam.

Arriving at the largest game retail store in Chicago, Cameron once again saw countless people and a long queue.

The largest game retail store in Chicago also sells records and other products. Cameron has only seen queues when superstars in the recording industry release new albums. Unexpectedly, now a game can also

Make people queue up!

Cameron did not queue up, went directly to another window, reported his order number, extraction code, signed a collection form, and finally got his "collector's edition" of StarCraft.

When they saw Cameron leaving with StarCraft, many of the game fans who were still queuing in line cast envious glances at Cameron. Some scalpers even went up directly and asked Cameron if he could sell it.

The asking price reached $120, and when they saw that Cameron really had no intention of selling it, they left angrily.

Along the way, Cameron was a little scared, fearing that someone would steal it from him. Cameron felt that the game disc was now Chicago's hard currency.

After going back, it was still the same as before. Cameron planned to experience it first, and then go to the forum to gain experience. Guys in game forums always emphasize that if you have not experienced it, you have no right to speak. They never criticize the games of unknown people.

Turn on the computer and insert the game disc, and familiar pictures and logos appear in front of you. The publisher is Snow Mountain Online Games and the producer is Blizzard Games. Now Blizzard has not yet launched the banner of "Produced by Blizzard, it must be a high-quality product", but I don't know why. Look

After seeing the Blizzard logo, Cameron instinctively had expectations for the game.

In the previous "StarCraft" expansion pack, Cameron already knew that the game has three major races to choose from. The gameplay of this game is to use a racial hero to collect resources on the map, produce troops, and destroy the opponent's

All buildings then win.

It doesn't sound difficult, but after Cameron took action, the start was quite simple. Four farmers added fifty yuan, and then assigned tasks to these farmers.

But as he was playing, Cameron started to be in a hurry. Even though Blizzard has optimized the game experience, players still need to operate every step by themselves. Cameron has never encountered this kind of thing. It all depends on the players themselves.

hardcore games.

The duel between the machine gunners and the ground thorns was decided in a few seconds. The operation was so good that there was a one-sided massacre. Cameron couldn't help shouting with excitement. The hearty feeling was really awesome.

It stimulates people's sensory nerves. If it is not done properly, it will be ravaged.

The repeated jump between this kind of dish and beef biryani may make even a person with a stable mentality a little overwhelmed, but it makes people want to stop. To describe it in one sentence, it is both delicious and fun-loving.

Cameron had never felt that playing a game could make him so entangled, and he would get angry and curse at his mother from time to time. He felt that this game was really torturous, but he fell into excitement after winning.

Rubbing his sore eyes, Cameron felt that his hands and arms now hurt because he used too much force on the keyboard and mouse. Playing a game can make his hands hurt, and Cameron is also alive.

See you soon.

He rubbed his wrist and entered the forum. As he expected, there were mixed reviews about "StarCraft" on the ign forum. Some people hated the game, thinking it was too unfriendly to players and too difficult to operate.

They even called Blizzard and Xueleshan liars, and a money-refund layman immediately appeared and scolded Xueleshan for asking them to refund their money.

There is also someone who shouts "StarCraft" Niu Bi, and posted a thousand-word post, thinking that this is the game he imagined, and life and death depend entirely on operation!

There are a lot of scoldings, and there are also a lot of discussions about game strategies, combinations, and tactics. Now some players have begun to try the most classic "Human Sea Tactics"

"This is the most playable game I have ever played. Its operation is very difficult, but its tactical playability is top-notch, and online team battles on the Xueleshan online platform are a completely different experience.

Gaming experience!”

Cameron saw one or more well-known game IDs commenting on "StarCraft" on the ign forum.

Before Cameron could think about it, someone suddenly moved a post from the Xueleshan community to the forum.

“The Xueleshan online platform is recruiting StarCraft professional players and has released game operation videos of “professional players”!

Seeing this post, Cameron was curious and followed the link to the Snow Mountain community. Just like the ign forum, there were constant quarrels here, and the quarrels were even more fierce. It was like he was playing StarCraft, bragging about this.

Those who play this game and those who criticize it, can’t wait to have a real person PK.

After buffering and opening the video, Cameron saw in the video that in the first second of the game, this professional player was operating four farmers to mine four mines. When he went to mine four mines, he was a little stupid. The first thought in his mind
Chapter completed!
