The entire game was scored 47 to 45 by the Astronauts, defeating the Devs school baseball team. After the game, there was applause on the spot, and finally donated the 800,000 US dollars obtained from the entire game through the sale of tickets, player donations, advertising fees, etc.

As the title sponsor of the Astronaut Arena, double-click the company and Song Yang jointly donated another million US dollars. Today's noisy game finally ended.

As for how the two million US dollars raised today is distributed, it is the matter between Adrian and Houston Public Offices. Even if they don’t give up a penny, no one can find it. It’s just that the work is not so rough. It’s important to pluck the hairs and apply oil layer by layer.

Everyone in Houston municipal departments and personnel took part in it, then distributed it to the next floor, and finally reached the hands of the charity and welfare institutions that purchased materials and distributed it, leaving a part of the "fees". Finally, they were in the hands of the patients and slum communities in private hospitals. It was considered to be professional integrity. After all, doing charity in America is also a business, and people from charity can't starve to death!

After Song Yang returned to his villa in Houston, he came to the study. After turning on the computer, there were more than a dozen emails on the Hotmail email address, all sent by Xueleshan and Panda TV.

Like Blizzard, V Club is both a game studio under Xueleshan, but Blizzard has been famous for a long time. Before being acquired, it had released several games of "Warcraft" and gained popularity.

However, V Club made its debut this time. Even though it had already been overwhelming publicity and Xueleshan as a guarantee, no one knows how many people bought it.

Song Yang opened an email from the president of Xueleshan Williams and his wife. It was sent by Xueleshan at noon, and Song Yang was still in the stadium at that time.

The content of the email is very simple, with only two sentences, "Half-life sales exceed 680,000 sets, and sales exceed 40,120,000 US dollars!"

Song Yang looked at the content on the email and sold nearly 700,000 sets of "Half-Life" games in one morning, which was definitely a big deal. The official price of "Half-Life" is $59, which is nine cents cheaper than the ordinary version of "StarCraft", but the sales volume exceeded the morning sales on the first day of "StarCraft"!

The popularity of V Club is much worse than that of Blizzard. The orders in one morning exceeded the "Starcraft" of the same period, which shows that the brand of Xueleshan has really been up. On the other hand, it also shows that shooting games have indeed more audiences and players.

"Four hours of sales, sales exceed 680,000 units. The V Club Game Studio, a subsidiary of Xueleshan, has created a new history of Ameriga games!"

The media began to report on "Half-Life", "The marketing manager of Xue LS declared that the Half-Life game has sufficient inventory and there is no need to worry about the source of goods..."

It would be fine if you didn't say this. As soon as you said it, players who were still watching immediately flocked to major game retail stores. When the first two "Diablo" and "Starcraft" were released, the marketing manager of Xueleshande also said this. The next day, Amerika and other places began to be out of stock. After suffering losses twice, many players, why would they continue to jump into the pit?!

The marketing department of Xue Leshan is really unfair. In order to provide sufficient supply, Xue Leshan directly printed five million sets of game discs. In addition, broadband is now becoming popular, and users can directly download the digital version of "Half-Life" through the "Xue Leshan Online" platform. Therefore, the marketing department of Xue Leshan feels that there will never be any out of stock this time.

But after being bought by players, it is hard to say how long these five million sets of stock can last.

Seeing that players began to snatch "half-life", game retailers, channel vendors, and scalpers began to get ready to move again, playing with snatching and stocking up. The goods on the market decreased significantly, which aggravated players' snatch and began to enter a vicious cycle.

The reputation and gaming experience of "Half-Life" have long been spread throughout the game industry through the TGA Game Exhibition and IGN game forums such as game forums. All players who like shooting are not worried that "Half-Life" will fail. As soon as it is sold, they are directly snapped up.

By night, the TGA Professional E-sports League led by Xueleshan was about to open. Ken Williams and Roberta were going to attend the opening ceremony with a group of Xueleshan executives. When they received a "half-life" sales. Looking at the sales report in their hands, the group of Xueleshan executives were silent.

G Fat, who have high expectations for sales, and the founders of Harrington's two V clubs, were also looking at each other in front of each other.

In the end, Harrington, who was still dry-mouthed, couldn't help but say, "Can it be that the marketing department made a mistake?"

Looking at the large string of numbers on the sales report, Harrington felt dazzled. It was not that the sales were too low, but that it was a bit outrageous.

"It should be the channel dealer stocking up!"

Ken Williams read the numbers in the sales report several times before he spoke, saying that the last time "StarCraft" sold 1.35 million sets in a single day and sold more than 80 million US dollars. It was a bit scary at that time, breaking many records in America and even global gaming history.

At that time, many media threatened that the record of "Starcraft" may not break records for many years, but just like every time a movie reaches a super high box office, an epic movie will pop up and break its record, but even Xueleshan did not expect that that day would come so quickly!

"Half-Life" sold more than 1.6 million units on the first day, with sales exceeding 94 million and 400,000 US dollars. Among them, there are reasons for players to rush, and there are also reasons for channel dealers and scalpers to stock up on goods, which together resulted in today's explosive orders.

And now there are still a few hours before tomorrow, and there is a delay in sales statistics in other areas outside Shanghai. If Xueleshan wants to make some moves, he can definitely make a big move, for example, making "Half-Life" the first game in the world with sales exceeding 100 million on the first day!

"Let's release an announcement!"

Ken Williams thought for a while but was still not ready to make big news. How long has Xueleshan been split from ICQ? It is really exciting. Investors are probably going to have a class action lawsuit against ICQ. Before going public, they split the chicken that laid the golden eggs, which was obviously causing trouble.

G Fat and Harrington and other V-soc staff would naturally not object. They were still a little confused at this time. They sold a small target in a day. Even they didn’t expect that “half-life” could be so powerful!

"It's a pity that half of your life has been opened."

A supervisor from Xueleshan sighed and said, "Half-Life" sales volume, if you don't open source, you can definitely stay in the development of a sequel for several years. After opening source, the sequel will be much more difficult to make, and you can't play tricks.

But just sighed, "Half-Life" open source code and let players create MODs was agreed by Song Yang. No one in Xueleshan dared to overturn Song Yang's decision.

Almost thunder broke out on the ground. Without waiting for a third-party data agency to issue an announcement, Xue Leshan himself issued an announcement in advance, claiming that the global sales of "Half-Life" exceeded 1.6 million sets and sales exceeded 94 million US dollars, the entire game industry was completely stimulated.

There is no need to make false statements in this kind of thing, and Xueleshan does not need to do anything. It is not a listed company and needs to raise the stock price. The outside world has no doubt about Xueleshan's announcement, but it is really a little stimulated.

The four major game magazines, forums, Yahoo, MSN, AOL, and Lycos America portals, at the same time, pushed "Half-Life" sales together.

"A new era of video games is coming!"

"After Diablo and StarCraft, VS Game Studio, a subsidiary of Xueleshan, launched its third 3A masterpiece, with a sales of US$94 million and 400,000 per day, setting a new record in global gaming history. Xueleshan is leading the global game industry into the era of high investment, high quality and high returns!

The game industry is not impossible to make big profits with small profits, but the 3A masterpiece model led by Xueleshan will redefine the game market and become the mainstream of the game industry. Xueleshan is changing the history of the game with 3A masterpieces, digital games, online games, and professional e-sports!"

The Wall Street Journal spent most of its time telling the outside world that what Xue Leshan was doing was not written for ordinary players and people who did not pay attention to the game industry, but for Wall Street institutions and Silicon Valley companies. By the time a few years later, players and ordinary users felt it personally, the game industry structure had basically been decided.
