Chapter Five Hundred and Five He Knows Players Too Well
Places such as Bibo, Nomad Starry Sky, and 17173, where a large number of gamers gather, have had heated discussions surrounding the open box opening probability of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.
"If you think about it this way, if a gold 98K car can be sold for 10,000 yuan, you can buy one for an average of 3,000 to 4,000 yuan. Isn't this a sure profit?"
"baboon:?"
"Baboon: I thought the same thing, and then I spent tens of thousands of dollars... and finally spent an extra ten thousand dollars to buy this skin!"
"The difference between European emperors and non-chiefs is greater than the difference between humans and dogs!"
"Stop scolding, don't scold, if given the choice, who would want to be a non-chief?"
"If everyone is a European emperor, then there will be no European emperors in the world."
"You finally figured out the theory of relativity!"
There are countless ridicules and discussions like this, whether it's the risqué operation of making the box opening probability public, or the fact that a baboon spent 10,000 yuan to buy a golden 98K skin.
For the player group, they are all topics worth talking about, and the popularity created by these topics is exactly the necessary mass base for a popular game.
The so-called phenomenon-level hit games are exactly how they ignite the sparks of players step by step, and eventually form a prairie fire.
At present, it seems that the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is obviously being pushed down this path step by step by Zhou Dongsheng.
Moreover, when the probability of opening the box is openly and honestly placed in front of the players, not only does it not kill the players' desire to consume.
On the contrary, it gives the players a clear goal, thus giving them a hope that they shouldn't have.
If the investment in something is bottomless, then most people will think twice about whether to do it or not to do it.
However, once the odds are digitized and placed in front of the players, it will naturally arouse the desire of many players to challenge!
After all, the most indispensable part of the player community are challengers who challenge events of extremely low probability.
Even if this matter is not related to profit and is purely a matter of honor between players, there will still be countless players willing to take on the challenge.
Not to mention, this matter is linked to interests, so the temptation will undoubtedly increase exponentially.
Even if everyone knows that the first golden 98k is worth 10,000, the second one will definitely not be at this price.
After all, market prices are determined by the relationship between supply and demand. If demand exceeds supply, rare goods will naturally be available. Once supply exceeds demand, prices will naturally fall.
But there is always a gradual game process before that.
For players, enjoying the fun of the game itself means not only gaming the game mechanics, but also taking pride in the sense of accomplishment generated by completing various low-probability events.
As long as the probability is not zero, no matter how small the probability is, there is obviously a possibility!
Theoretically, if you let a monkey sit in front of a typewriter long enough, it would be possible to type out the complete works of Shakespeare.
Of course, this possibility is almost slim. In comparison, the probability of 26% does not seem so low in the eyes of most players.
After all, there is already a negative example like the baboon, so you can't be more unlucky than him, an African chief, right?
What's more, isn't there a positive example like Mozi in front of him who captured the soul instantly?
Even if you can't become the European Emperor, it's enough to prove that you are of European descent. You can leave Africa and join Europe right now!
As the number of players discussing "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" on the Internet continues to grow, some players are gradually starting to get ready to take action.
A box only costs 10 yuan. Give it a try and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle. If you can't buy it for 10 yuan, you will suffer a loss and you will be fooled...
If it is opened, it can be sold for not only 10,000 yuan but also 7,000 or 8,000 yuan. The most important thing is that if you really get it, it will undoubtedly be a big bragging capital.
With the popularity of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", a small number of players have already shown off their victory screenshots of "Good luck, eat chicken tonight" on social platforms such as Moments and scarves!
In view of the difficulty of playing chicken, most players often spend more than a week playing chicken for the first time when they come into contact with this game.
At this point, the human-machine game after being transformed into a mobile game is undoubtedly a very user-friendly design, giving players an unparalleled gaming experience right from the start.
But in PC games, the player’s chance of winning a game is far lower than the chance of getting a golden 98k out of the box.
But so what, can you still get a golden 98k screenshot from the chicken game? Is the gold content of the screenshot high?
Obviously, for some players who are not so sharp in gaming skills, it seems that there is a fork in the road in front of them, like changing careers.
Do you want to choose to practice hard and become a chicken master, or do you want to become the European Emperor that attracts everyone's attention?
If you don't have enough skills, you can make up for it with money. This is the way of European Emperor players.
As the popularity grew, more and more players began to try to unbox it, including players who had previously focused on playing games.
Even some staunch free-for-all players are wavering and have the urge to give it a try.
The performance reflected in the data is an uncharacteristic prominence.
After PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Company announced the probability of opening the box, Brandon Green was undoubtedly uneasy in his heart.
Although I believed the boss's lies, due to my professional experience as a game planner, I still felt that exchanging sincerity for players' sincerity... was not very reliable.
Brendan Greene can't tell you what exactly is unreliable. He can only say that as a game planner, digging holes for players has already become a professional habit.
Moreover, digging holes is also a technical job. If you dig well, even if the player falls into the hole, he will be happy.
And this time, it is the first time that we are open and honest with the players. By announcing the probability of opening the box, isn't it just a matter of asking the players for money?
However, after Brandon Green was anxious for a day, relevant data for "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" was newly released.
The subordinate hurriedly knocked on Brandon Green's office door and pushed the door open impatiently, "Boss, good news!"
With that said, he couldn't wait to submit the data to Brandon Green.
The little old man took it and read through it, his eyes widening as if he had seen some incredible result.
"Ward's Law! What is going on? The paid data has not dropped, but has increased by 13%. This is incredible."
Brandon Green couldn't help but blurted out.
"Yes, boss, the effect of announcing the probability of opening the box is unexpectedly good, and it actually stimulates players' desire to consume, and this is just the beginning!"
"I think we should take this opportunity to launch our trading platform, strike while the iron is hot, and use this wave of traffic to revitalize our trading platform..."
The subordinates were overjoyed and immediately gave advice and expressed their thoughts.
Brandon Green couldn't help but sigh, "The boss really understands players!"
This time Brandon Green was really convinced. Faced with his subordinate's proposal, Brandon Green felt that now was a good time.
But he couldn't help but muttered: "This, I need to ask the boss for advice..."
At this time, outside Zhou Dongsheng's office door, Zhou Xing'er, who was slightly embarrassed, stood at the door and knocked on Zhou Dongsheng's door.
"Please come in!"

ps: After struggling for five days, I was so busy and dizzy that I finally finalized a major life event. Now I am still on the subway and typed a chapter on my phone. I will try to write more tomorrow\(//?//)\
