"During this period of time, in addition to daily maintenance of game operations and fixing and optimizing the problems exposed in the public beta of the game, we are also working on the charging system that the boss mentioned..."
Brandon Green took his time and talked about his "biological son" "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".
"Of course, there is also a version for overseas distribution. We are also working overtime on the production, and we have already finished it not long ago..."
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but smile when he heard this. Although he said so, this little old man still wanted to avenge his shame.
After all, everyone lives for a living, and Brandon Green also wanted to prove to his former club how much potential the battle royale mode, which they originally didn't pay attention to, had.
Especially for the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" that I worked so hard on, it can be said that it is a collection of all my understanding of the battle royale game. It is definitely a battle royale mode that is even better than the previous game "h1z1".
In addition, no matter how huge the Chinese game market is, it cannot compete with the entire overseas market. And for such an excellent game as "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", Brandon Green naturally cannot be willing to let his son sit in a corner.
Of course, Zhou Dongsheng also strongly supports this overseas distribution matter. After all, with the chicken craze sweeping the world, Zhou Dongsheng is not willing to just make his own money.
What's more, this is going to take the road of e-sports competition. How can it be done without the participation of players from foreign competition areas? You must first cultivate the audience and players.
Zhou Dongsheng thought this was the good news that Brandon Green said, and couldn't help but praise: "Good old man, now that the overseas version has been released, it can be launched online at the right time, so that overseas players can play this excellent game."
The battle royale game..."
"Yes, boss, we originally thought so too. It was a God-given opportunity, and the "h1z1" planning team actually made an extremely stupid decision..." Speaking of this, Brandon Green couldn't help but reveal a complicated smile.
"They actually split the survival mode and battle royale mode of "h1z1" into two projects and charged them separately! This incident aroused the indignation of many players and resulted in a lot of bad reviews."
Hearing this, Zhou Dongsheng finally understood what good news Brandon Green said, and couldn't help but laugh. This was not a God-given opportunity.
This is a divine assist from the opponent!
If Brandon Green is the "Father of Battle Royale", then "h1z1" is undoubtedly the representative work that established his name, and has been loved and praised by a large number of players.
Moreover, it was originally just a secondary mode, but its number of players even surpassed the original survival mode of the game, thus dividing the players of "h1z1" into two factions: "survival players" and "killing players".
The latter has the tendency to catch up from behind and replace it. This may be why the "h1z1" project team had the idea to divide the game into two projects and sell them separately.
Especially after learning that Brandon Green had developed a brand new battle royale game and it was well received in the Chinese market, the "h1z1" project team couldn't sit still.
In their view, splitting the two major models can lead to more effective management, and can also divert the two major player groups without infringing the river.
At the same time, you can also use the title of "Masterpiece of Battle Royale Game" to seize the market first, so that more players will give priority to the game "h1z1:kingofthekill".
Although wishful thinking is well played, splitting the game is a double-edged sword, and improper operation will have counterproductive effects.
Although players who originally purchased "h1z1" do not need to purchase it again, switching between the two modes is undoubtedly an extra layer of trouble.
For new players who originally wanted to join the game, they were even more unhappy. In the past, you could buy "h1z1" for 20 dollars and play two modes at the same time.
Now you split it into two models and sell them for 20 dollars each. Rounding off doesn’t mean the price has doubled.
This kind of behavior of raising prices on the ground will not be tolerated by game players even in overseas markets that are accustomed to the buyout system.
Just because they are accustomed to the buyout system, this one-time consumption is not an investment in collections. Players will not feel happy if the price of the game increases. On the contrary, they will also angrily criticize the game manufacturers. Are they crazy about money?
This is equivalent to League of Legends splitting the two major modes of Summoner's Rift and Howling Abyss into two games. I believe that Brawl players will not hesitate to express their anger.
As Brandon Green spoke, he also took out his laptop and showed Zhou Dongsheng the latest negative reviews and curses from players on overseas game platforms.
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but smile. Even with his poor English vocabulary, he could understand those simple and clear words. After all, the introduction to any language starts with swearing...
At first glance, this decision seems outrageous, but if it is a bad idea made by the "h1z1" planning team, it suddenly becomes natural.
After all, this ground-breaking game that was originally popular around the world suffered a painful Waterloo lesson due to bad ideas made time and time again by the planning team behind "h1z1".
And "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", which is far superior in quality, just became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
This split of the game is just an appetizer. Zhou Dongsheng said that he did a great job, but he would not miss such a good opportunity.
"Since our opponent has given us such a good opportunity, we cannot let it go. We will go online as quickly as possible and use our free advantage to seize the market!"
Although the word "free" is the biggest trap in the Internet era, all gifts have secret price tags, but users don't know it yet.
But the free method is good and wonderful, and players just accept it. Who can refuse the joy of free prostitution?
And this free method will also be used by the "back wave" in other chicken-eating games in the future, and will sweep all the seniors to death on the beach.
Instead of doing this, it is better for me, the senior, to roll up first as a sign of respect, block the road for the waves that come after me, and build a moat in advance to prevent the waves from coming back.
"I think, old man, you won't be merciful, right? After all, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is your purest and outstanding battle royale masterpiece." Zhou Dongsheng added.
Brandon Green took a deep breath. The previous work was also his proud work. The palms and backs of his hands were all flesh. His mood was actually quite complicated after being treated so badly.
But rather than letting others ruin it, it is better to send it away with your own hands. This is not a dishonorable thing.
So Brandon Green smiled and said, "Of course not my boss. I still want to see the day when "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" can compete with League of Legends. Obviously, "h1z1" cannot do this."
After saying that, he shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands helplessly.
"In that case, I'm relieved. I also have good news to tell you. Obtaining the game license means that our game can be officially launched and profitable in the domestic market.
Such a matter of great importance will undoubtedly determine the life or death of our game, and we must not be careless..."
"So, I found a celebrity spokesperson for our game and organized online and offline promotion activities. It coincides with the Spring Festival in our country. I hope that our "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" can become an instant hit when it is officially launched.
, may you have a prosperous new year.”
Zhou Dongsheng said with a smile.
After ten years of sharpening a sword, the frost blade has never been tested. Zhou Dongsheng can't help but be eager to make a move. He is very much looking forward to the ability of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" to attract money after it ends its open beta and is officially launched.
This cash cow has been raised for so long, and whether it produces milk or not depends on this tremor.
