The number displayed on the big screen is naturally the key data of the number of game players online in real time.
Moreover, the number does not start jumping from single digits to tens of digits, but changes from 0 to early 10,000 in the blink of an eye.
The moment the server was launched, more than tens of thousands of players poured into the "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" server, and this was just the beginning.
"It's over 10,000! It's rising so fast!" A group of programmers in the office couldn't help but shout excitedly.
The most intuitive data changes bring exciting excitement, especially when this data is directly related to the success or failure of the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" and is closely related to the amount of their bonuses...
They really couldn't help but feel excited, and while they were shouting, the number at the beginning had changed from 1 to 2, and in the blink of an eye it became 3...
After a while, it changed from 5 digits to 6 digits, and then the growth began to slow down, but the data was still growing strongly. After all, Friday night had just started, and it was far from the peak stage!
Not to mention, there are still two days of weekend peak periods. No one knows what the final data will be, but there is no doubt that the efforts have not been in vain.
"Nice!" Brandon Green clenched his fist and waved it fiercely in front of his eyes. Although this was not the buyout sales he was used to, the number of game players online in real time was undoubtedly a strong proof of the popularity of this game!
And just after the server was launched, more than 100,000 players poured in instantly, which was enough to satisfy Brandon Green, an old father.
After all, on the Stim game platform, one of the best overseas, the data of 100,000 players online at the same time is enough to rank at the top of the list of popular games.
And if it reaches the peak data during the public beta, with millions of players online at the same time, it can easily reach the top even if it is placed on the Stim platform.
Even though there are many players in the overseas game market, the audience of overseas players is also relatively scattered, such as console players accounting for a huge proportion.
Unlike domestic players, who are highly concentrated in the PC game market and are rapidly moving towards the mobile game market, showing polarization, console players have always been a very small niche group in China.
Looking at the rising data, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but smile brightly, and suddenly he understood Master Ma's happiness.
Of course, it is not the kind of happiness of "not interested in money", but the pleasure of watching the data keep beating, as if watching the number of your own savings keep soaring.
In a sense, this real-time online data of game players is indeed directly linked to money.
Zhou Dongsheng feels that he is a layman, but he is particularly interested in money.
In the blink of an eye, the number on the big screen has exceeded 200,000 players online in real time. It is estimated that there has been a hail of bullets on the Jedi Island. I just don’t know who will win the first place in the server?
However, compared to this question, Zhou Dongsheng, a layman, still inevitably asked: "Oh, my old man, when will we see our sales?"
"I think I'm not the only one paying attention to this data, right?"
Li Jiana on the side smiled, and still translated faithfully, and Brandon Green couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"Of course, my dear boss, I am also very concerned about this data, but I think the game has just begun. The vast majority of players are immersed in the fun of the game and should not have time to pay attention to this thing..."
While Brandon Green was speaking, he asked the people below to check the data and take a look at the sales of the first airdrop souvenir box of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".
Under the premise of considering the opening of the jewelry trading system in the future, the unboxing system of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is naturally in line with CSGO, but with a small change.
After playing a game of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", there is a chance to get a box opening key, which can open the airdrop souvenir box and randomly produce accessories.
This is naturally a joy reserved for free prostitution players. I believe that there will be many miraculous and famous scenes that "one shot into the soul" will happen in the future.
However, considering the current limited production capacity of the game, and the fact that it is the server opening carnival, the game official is selling the unboxing keys with a tearful reward. The price is not expensive, 10 yuan a piece, and you will get a free gift if you buy 10 at a time.
A handful.
You can't buy it with 10 yuan, and you can't be cheated. The more you buy, the more the official will lose. As long as every player buys a key, Zhou Dongsheng can cry tomorrow... and consider buying another car.
Of course, this is just the first set of server opening souvenir boxes, just an appetizer. In fact, Brandon Green does not have high expectations for the sales of this first set of souvenir boxes.
I just thought that using this set of boxes to restore health would be enough to keep the game running.
After all, from R&D to now, the company's books have been all expenses, without any income. Just the expense of renting servers from the pig factory is no longer a small amount.
Although Zhu Chang is one of the shareholders, he is also a brother who settles the accounts. Naturally, this server cannot be given away for free.
After all, Zhou Dongsheng didn't ask for it in the first place, so naturally they wouldn't give it to him for nothing.
The people below released the key sales situation very promptly. The data on the big screen jumped, from more than 200,000 to more than 200,000...
Brandon Green frowned slightly, "What's going on? Why hasn't the data changed?"
"Boss, this is the sales situation of keys. 200,000 keys have been sold, and this data is growing faster than the number of players!" The person below swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said enthusiastically.
The sales data is roughly the same as the number of players, almost reaching the situation where each person buys one key, which means that "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" has already earned 2 million as soon as the server is launched!
And, this is just the beginning!
"A generous gift of crab!" Brandon Green blurted out, and then the smile on his face could no longer be suppressed. The sales situation was very gratifying!
According to the growth of this data, it seems that it is not difficult to exceed 10 million in revenue on the first day? Brandon Green can't help but have wild imagination.
Zhou Dongsheng naturally heard it, and after a little conversion in his mind, it was equivalent to... 20,000 copies of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" sold for 99 yuan?
After such a conversion, Zhou Dongsheng suddenly felt that this data was not bad, but it had just reached a fraction of what Zhou Dongsheng remembered.
However, it seems that the results of the sudden change in payment methods are still within the acceptable range. It is feasible to occupy the market with the "free method is good" method and then make profits through unboxing and in-app purchases.
"It seems that we have taken another small step towards our goal, my old friend." Zhou Dongsheng joked casually.
"Yes, my boss, I am now full of confidence in our game. With the advantage of free play, it may really be possible to compete with League of Legends..." Brandon Green said in high spirits.
There is nothing that makes an old father more happy than his own child being as good as "other people's children".
In other words, the same is true for a game planner.
"By the way, boss, our game is also very popular in overseas markets. The number of downloads has exceeded 100,000 copies..." Brendan Green was happy and revealed another piece of news that was icing on the cake.
"That's great news. I think I can see that day soon."
The two grown men looked at each other and smiled, understanding "that day" deeply.
The data of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is still rising, and it is already one step away from becoming a phenomenon-level game that can "revive the glory of PC gaming" and bring hope to the Internet cafe industry.
