"Mr. Su, will our game really adopt a free model after it is launched?"

After returning to the office, Zhou Hongyi asked quickly.

In his opinion, Sanguosha surpassed most domestic games in terms of playability and production level, but Su Yan said that letting players play it for free was something he did not expect.

"Lao Zhou, take a long-term view. Who said we let players play for free? We still have offline board games, not to mention that I didn't plan to make money from this game in the first place."

Seeing Zhou Hongyi's appearance, Su Yan said calmly.

Su Yan, who has experienced the Internet boom in later generations, knows that free is always the most expensive!

"But Mr. Su, I really can't see where the profit point of Three Kingdoms is."

After all, he comes from a technical background, and Zhou Hongyi obviously has not yet discovered what will be brought to Shenxiu Technology with the explosion of Three Kingdoms.

"Three Kingdoms is more like an announcement, telling the domestic game market about our existence. By the way, the accounts of Lao Sanguosha and Minecraft can be used interchangeably with our GG platform account, right?"

Su Yan looked at Zhou Hongyi and asked calmly.

"no problem."

...

On September 15th, Minecraft will begin to be fully updated. Users who have already purchased it only need to download the update package and install it.

On this day, Ander secretly climbed out of bed while his mother was asleep.

There is no way, the developers of Minecraft are not in the same time zone as them.

In order to experience the new version as soon as possible, Ender took a big risk.

Turn on the computer, download the installation package and start the installation. As the progress bar continues to increase, the game is finally updated.

When Ender entered the game, he found that the content of the game had been optimized, and there were two new modes, namely survival mode and challenge mode, and there were many new features in the game.

Soon Ender was addicted to it and couldn't extricate himself.

Early the next morning, when Ander's mother woke him up, Ander realized that he had played all night long without realizing it.

After arriving at school, Ander couldn't wait to share his joy with his companions. He believed that he was definitely the first among his friends to play the new mode.

"You know what? After the Minecraft update, it was so awesome that I couldn't stop!"

"Ender, have you played it yet? I can only update it when I get home from school today."

"Of course, I guarantee you'll love the updated game."

"By the way, Ender, can you understand which game was launched with the Minecraft update pack? It seems to be about a period of history in a country with a long history on the other side of the ocean."

Suddenly a little fat guy stood up and said.

Ender:???

Seeing Ander's expression, Little Fatty suddenly showed a narrow smile, "OMG, look what I found. Our school's Game King, Ender, didn't find any games developed by the same company as Minecraft."

"Dave! You guy, how could the great Ender not realize that I was just too involved in playing after updating my world last night and didn't have time to play any new games."

Ender quibbled.

"Oh, is it so?"

The chubby little guy named Dave looked suspicious.

"Of course, don't forget that even my world was recommended to you by me, yet you actually doubt me."

After speaking, Ender looked angry.

At this moment, there was a ringing sound, and Dave said to Ender.

"Come on, brother, I have misunderstood you. As an apology, I will lend you my new PS game console to play."

After saying that, the two of them hurried towards the classroom.

At night, Ender returned home and eagerly downloaded the game Dave mentioned.

What surprised Ender was that the game was free, and he could play with other players.

Looking at the various obscure character introductions and skill introductions, Ander suddenly had a bitter look on his face.

But it was obvious that Ender was one of those people who was addicted to food. After repeated defeats, Ender suddenly decided to learn the writing and language of the country on the other side of the ocean.

In the CEO's office of Domestic Shanda.

Chen Tianqiao pointed to the Three Kingdoms game on the computer screen and asked his younger brother Chen Danian, "What do you think of this game, Danian?"

Many people are not familiar with Chen Danian. He seems to be hiding in the shadow of Chen Tianqiao, but he is involved in every decision of Shanda.

"can't read."

Regarding his brother's question, Chen Danian only answered three words.

In this era, the Internet is looking for ways to monetize, and at this moment, Shenxiu Technology’s move has indeed made countless Internet tycoons in the country somewhat confused.

Is it free? Does your company not make any money but rely on generating electricity with love?

"So Danian, do you think the game Three Kingdoms will have an impact on our legend?"

Looking at the eye-catching character on the computer, Chen Tianqiao said in a serious voice that the legend is a grand and important step for them, and there is absolutely no room for mistakes.

"It has an impact but not much."

Chen Danian thought for a moment and then said.

"I watched the game Three Kingdoms. Although its core gameplay is very interesting, and the characters and skills are also very interesting, a game that is not profitable is destined to not last long. Maybe this is just Shenxiu Technology's response to the domestic game environment.

Let’s test it out, after all, their current core business should still be the popular Minecraft game around the world.”

"Our Shanda's main enemies are currently NetEase and several other domestic game companies. As long as Legend can succeed, then our Shanda will win the domestic game market!"

Chen Danian doesn't take Sanguosha too seriously. In his opinion, no matter how well-made a game is, once he starts to make it free, he is not far from death.

Inside Shenxiu Technology, Zhou Hongyi stared nervously at the computer screen in front of him.

"How's it going? Is the data on the Three Kingdoms Killings out?"

Zhou Hongyi kept urging the technicians in front of him.

"When it came out, the total number of downloads was 3.5 million. Among them, the two countries with the most downloads were RB and South Korea, followed by Europe and the United States. As for the domestic downloads, there were only 200,000."

The technician was a little disappointed and told the number of downloads in China.

Zhou Hongyi patted the technician on the shoulder and walked to his office without saying anything else.

Although Su Yan had told him before, he still felt a little disappointed when the results came out.

Thumb thump.

Just when Zhou Hongyi was sitting in his office, looking at the Three Kingdoms game interface on the screen.

The office door was pushed open.

"What's wrong with Assistant Xia?"

Zhou Hongyi forced a smile and said to Xia He.

"There is news from Mr. Su, asking you to hurry up and make Hearthstone as fast as possible. If it is difficult, you can call Mr. Su. He said he can help, and we are going to South Korea the day after tomorrow.

Webzen talks about the agency Miracle. The flight tickets have been booked and you will be ready to fly directly to Seoul."

After saying that, Xia He turned around and left, leaving Zhou Hongyi with a dull look on his face.
