Du De, who rushed home, was naturally in vain. He opened the computer and entered the Battle.net platform. At this time, the Battle.net platform in the United States was calm.
He immediately went to the Facebook social platform.
Now everyone here is talking about this discount event.
Many old Facebook users who rarely came out to socialize before also jumped out.
The rise of Facebook almost coincided with the popularity of video games, and at that time the two sides had a very high degree of overlap in users.
Players who like video games will be more willing to share their playing experiences on the Internet, hoping to find more friends who like video games.
In reality, it was difficult for them to find such a partner at that time.
So to this day, video game players account for a large proportion of Facebook users, and they are also the group with the most visits to Facebook users.
At about four or five o'clock in the morning, the hot searches on Facebook's relevant social platforms were still topics such as celebrity scandals, another accident in a certain area, and American people protesting in a certain area.
But an hour later, a hot search quickly rose.
Summer sale.
This is a very peculiar word.
At first, many people didn’t know what this sale was about.
They also thought that a unique on-site sales event was held in some area.
But when I clicked in and took a look, I found that it was about a special sale on video games.
Some people naturally lack interest.
But video game players are excited.
Night owl players here in the United States almost immediately entered the Battle.net platform or the game store page of the home game console just like Dude.
But everything was calm.
No, it's not all calm, there's a countdown on the official store page.
The countdown is counting the time until the sale arrives.
When these people saw that they still had to wait, they expressed their dissatisfaction on Facebook and the official forums of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.
Why did Japan take the lead in opening the sale?
Do you look down on us American players?
However, this dissatisfaction did not last long. They also knew that this thing was calculated according to different times around the world, and it was quite normal for different regions to launch it at different times.
This is a carnival time for gamers, and video game players are going crazy because of this.
They don't even want to wait any longer.
There are some thieves who are ready to use their technical skills and leap to Japan through the Internet to be the first to experience the amazing discount activities.
However, most people were turned away without mercy.
Youxing Electronic Entertainment has very strict restrictions on the purchase of games across regions.
This is also to protect yourself and the partners you work with. It is also equivalent to avoiding the problem of cross-selling goods in different regions.
This is a very common method no matter what industry it is in.
This is all American players can do.
However, the heat at this time has not dropped at all.
For people like Dude, he starts to become absent-minded during the day at work, and all he can think about is the summer sale.
How big will the discount be in the United States?
Will this discount be limited to Japan?
No, since it is a discount event launched by Youxing Electronic Entertainment, it should not be treated so differently.
But...it's so uncomfortable. I really want to buy the game right away!
Time passed by like this, and on the Internet, people who didn’t play games very much began to notice this carnival belonging to players.
In the past, video game players did not have a large voice on the Internet platform. Most of the time they would only share their gaming experience within the circle, and occasionally recommend some games to some non-game players who are interested in video games, and more.
It won't actively break the circle for a long time.
But today was very unusual. They made no secret of their love for video games this time, and at the same time they were thanking the god of games for their gift.
God of games, discount events, carnival days.
After accumulating keywords one by one, people who don’t pay attention to the game can’t help but pay attention.
So in this state, they passively accepted the news.
Discount.
Zhu Youxing believes that the lethality of this word will not be limited to video game players.
Discounts are lethal to most humans, whether they are gamers or not.
This is a certain law of psychology.
When a game player learns that there will be such a big discount on video games, they will be excited and have a party.
When a person who has not played games in the past learns about it, he will be confused and curious at first. Then he learns that games that used to cost more money can be purchased at one-third or even lower prices during this discount event.
If you want to buy it, and video games are really not considered high-consumption items, they will inevitably be tempted.
Even if you don’t know how to play it yourself, buying it and giving it a try will give you something to talk about with people around you in the future, so you won’t have nothing to talk about.
Then just take a look.
It is with this mentality that this discount event is beginning to gradually spread to more audience groups.
In the past, I only played free mobile games. Because the one-time purchase price of games on home consoles or PC games was a little expensive, I was reluctant to spend money to buy games.
But now they didn't hesitate any longer.
When the bell rang at eight o'clock in the evening in the United States, the number of visits to the Battle.net platform and home console game stores in the United States began to surge rapidly.
One hundred thousand.
one million.
three million.
five million.
At 8:10 p.m., the number of instant visits across the entire United States surged to five million.
Countless players and non-players have poured into the official stores of major games.
Comparable to the number of visits, there are also rapidly increasing game sales.
In order to celebrate the first sale, Youxing Electronic Entertainment also specially launched a real-time updated game sales ranking list.
However, this ranking is not mainly for players to see.
It is for those partners of Youxing Electronic Entertainment and those game developers who have previously maintained a wait-and-see attitude or sneered at it.
At 8:10, the number one selling game in the United States is GTA San Andreas.
This game is quite familiar to American players.
Because the city setting of this game is the United States, playing this game is like experiencing life in another American country.
Of course, the second and third games are not far behind.
The second is Uncharted Sea.
This game has wonderful cinematic performances, and some of its lens language expressions have even become textbooks in the eyes of many filmmakers.
The gaming experience is also very good, and the current price is only eight dollars.
