Zhou Dongsheng was just casually wandering around the live broadcast platform to check on the situation of this "chicken night".
In addition to the baboons on the shark platform, Xiao Sima, Vincent, and Zhou Dongsheng on other platforms also visited one by one, and as usual, they all bought a circle of gifts, which was considered to be using their own money to create a wave of popularity.
Zhou Dongsheng didn't think too much. Just like a butterfly flapping its wings, it just wanted to fly and had no idea of the subsequent chain reaction.
"We have exceeded 1 million players online at the same time! It has tied our highest record in open beta!"
With an exciting exclamation, Zhou Dongsheng casually turned off the live broadcast room and turned to look at the big screen placed in the center of the office.
"Ten, hundreds, millions..." I habitually counted in my mind, but only after I was sure it was seven digits, I smiled brightly.
After three days of publicity and preparation, coupled with the peak time on Friday night, and with the help of the joint exposure of many live broadcast platforms, after 2 hours, we finally successfully exceeded one million players online in real time.
"On the first day of service, it has already tied the best data of the public beta. It seems that the future of our game is limitless, old man."
Zhou Dongsheng stood up, stretched lazily, patted Brandon Green on the shoulder and praised him.
"Yes, boss, there is still one weekend left, and I think there is still a chance to make this record even better!" Brandon Green was as excited as a chicken blood.
After all, after working hard for so long, the joy of the harvest at this moment is naturally very exciting.
Then I checked the real-time sales data in the game.
Compared with the 1:1 sales ratio that was able to keep pace with the number of players at the beginning, as the number of gamers increased sharply, this sales ratio naturally continued to decline.
After all, for a free game, most players will not choose to recharge immediately, but will first experience the game content.
Only after confirming the playability of the game will you consider whether to invest money to get a better gaming experience. In addition, there are also steadfast free-players who don't even bother with the first-run benefits.
Even so, despite the declining ratio, the real-time sales data easily exceeded 5 million, from 1:1 to 1:5...
Of course, Zhou Dongsheng didn't take this to heart. The real big deal is yet to come.
"Thank you for your hard work. I have ordered a sumptuous supper for everyone and will deliver it in a moment..." Zhou Dongsheng was not stingy either. He would not draw cakes this time. After all, no matter how many cakes you draw, it will not taste the sweetness.
There will be hope.
"You have to work and you have to eat. We in China say that people are like iron and rice is like steel. If you don't eat for one meal, you will be hungry. So naturally there is nothing more important than eating..."
"If there is one, it is a bonus. Since we have achieved such good results, the bonuses promised to you will be honored one by one..."
Zhou Dongsheng waved his hand and poured out chicken soup for the soul. The people under Xiao En Xiao Hui may not have made any move, but when it came to cashing in the bonus, they couldn't hold back their excitement.
"Oh yeah, long live the boss!" "The boss loves tiger oil"...
Zhou Dongsheng understood this easy-to-understand language and couldn't help but read it. When he saw a tall and thick foreigner shouting in the most panic, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but shudder.
Respect and blessings, but I am a straight man!
Zhou Dongsheng gave a forced smile, "Then I will take the first step, and everyone will continue to work hard and hope that we will achieve great results again..." After saying that, he ran away.
After Zhou Dongsheng left, Brandon Green was in high spirits and said to all his colleagues in the office: "This is just a good start. There is still a long way to go before we can perfect "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds." The boss treats us so well, and we absolutely can't
Disappointing the boss's kindness..."
"We have to work harder in the follow-up work!"
…………
The next day, on the evening of the launch of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, the news that millions of players were online at the same time once again spread like wildfire.
After all, with such a good publicity opportunity, the publicity and distribution department of Zhuchang Games is naturally not a freeloader, especially if it is such good news that will boost people's hearts?
After all, it has long been a consensus in the industry that the PC game market continues to be sluggish. In the PC game market where even Goose Factory announced its strategic abandonment, such a counter-trend PC game work suddenly appeared...
The public beta data may be said to be for reference only, but after the official launch of the server, the popularity has not diminished, and there are even signs of intensifying. This is really no reason for friends to not be surprised.
After all, everything is based on market response. Since this game can be favored by so many players, it must have its own uniqueness.
At the very least, it can be proved that the sluggishness of the PC game market may be due to historical trends, but obviously the inability of game manufacturers to develop good PC games is also one of the main reasons.
It is obviously undesirable to blame the sluggish market on players and the general environment, just like you cannot blame the earth's gravity for constipation.
In the past, I could still make excuses, but when a counter-trend PC game like "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" made its stunning debut and was favored by many players...
This fig leaf was naturally torn off.
Since then, the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" has become the research object of major game companies in the industry. Why can this game do this?
Since "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" can do it, if we "learn" from this game mode, can we also win the favor of players?
Innovation is naturally difficult, but they are experienced veterans when it comes to "borrowing" experience.
There is no way, who let Big Brother take the good lead?
And the big brother Tenda was not slow to respond. After being hindered from developing its "money power", Tenda held a special internal meeting to study the reasons for the popularity of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".
The focus of the final discussion naturally focused on the groundbreaking gameplay of "Battle Royale". From the perspective of player acceptance, the development potential of this innovative gameplay is not low.
Even at the conference, some people directly compared it to the moba gameplay, saying that the potential of this gameplay is not inferior to that of moba.
After all, shooting gameplay has always been an evergreen tree in the field of games. It is also a classic gameplay that has been throughout the history of game development and has never been eliminated.
This game is based on shooting gameplay, combines the advantages of multiplayer online, and adds a variety of popular factors such as open maps with a high degree of freedom, tactical competitions, etc. It can be said to be a masterpiece that combines the strengths of hundreds of schools and introduces new ones.
The reason for such high praise was recognized by many people at Tenda’s internal meeting.
Innovation may be difficult for them, but they have perfected their eyesight.
If it were in the past, they might learn from this innovative gameplay and launch a similar competing product. After all, this is also their specialty.
However, the strategic focus of Tenda Games has now completely shifted to the mobile game business, and it would be a bit hasty to temporarily allocate manpower to develop client games.
After all, a groundbreaking PC game is not enough to put Tenda on the verge of a formidable enemy, and no matter how much attention it takes, it will not shake Tenda’s strategy.
"In this case, then according to the original plan, we will contact the game "h1z1" and negotiate the agency rights. After all, this game is very popular in China..."
Tengda's money-making ability doesn't work on Zhou Dongsheng, but it doesn't mean it doesn't work on others.
