The conference hall suddenly became noisy, everyone was angry and dissatisfied, and cursed constantly, and the entire conference room could not be peaceful.
However, Ye Hua has been away for about ten minutes, but none of the third-party developers who came to the meeting have left.
Leaving means missing out on the future. How dare they just slap their butt and leave as soon as their foreheads get hot?
Everyone present was a fellow traveler. Even during the previous confrontation with the leader of the coastline, there was a strong feeling of indignation and a common attitude of advancing and retreating with the same enemy.
But it's another thing to find out that Shoreline can't be influenced.
Colleagues are enemies. When she couldn't resist, Xiao Jiujiu immediately became active. She wished that one of her peers would quit quickly, and then offended Ye Hua, who would be blocked from the PHC system in the future. Then there would be one less competitor in the future.
If you lose, you can eat the other party and bring the other party's original high-quality IP content back to the phc system to strengthen yourself.
Everyone present is a veteran of Shengfu Shopping Mall, how could they not understand this truth?
Shopping malls are like battlefields. It can only be said that as sinister as the human heart is, so are the world.
But now all third parties have to face the same problem, that is, joining the future PHC system means giving up one-third of their profits to Coastline Company.
By signing the agreement on the desktop, you can quickly obtain the open source engine, which also means agreeing to the 33.3% commission agreement.
"I agree!"
After a long time, someone finally spoke up. The first person to speak agreed rather than leaving.
In the conference hall, the chief lawyer of Coastline Company immediately heard the news and left, and other third parties also looked.
The first person to agree was actually Steven Swinson!!!
Immediately, the other third parties all looked at him with disdain and cursed in their hearts. Capcom, who had yelled the most fiercely before, everyone felt that this guy was not afraid of power and was a good person. They admired him.
I didn’t expect him to be a standard 25-year-old boy, Mad!
I saw Shi Yunxun getting up from his seat, and then walked to the chief seat where Ye Hua was in the conference hall. He looked at the dozens of documents on the table, took two copies of the agreement terms and browsed them carefully to confirm that they were correct, and decisively
Sign your name and leave calmly with one of them.
When the third party present saw Swinson leaving, they felt more and more that the guy was definitely acting and wanted to deceive his peers.
Suddenly, a large number of third-party CEOs were cursing in their hearts and wishing Capcom's "Resident Evil" series a bloody success on PHC. It would be better if they lose their pants.
It’s true that as sinister as the human heart is, so sinister are the world. If you are not careful, you will fall into someone else’s trap.
Then, after reading the terms of the agreement, the third parties present actually signed all of them without missing a beat.
After all, the biggest core of this agreement is to agree to a 33.3% commission, and then you can obtain Coastline Company's PHC open source engine, so that you can create a PHC version of the holographic game.
However, whether or not to produce the PHC version of game content still depends on whether a third party wants to invest in the project. Coastline Company does not have any restrictions in the agreement. After all, the ecosystem created by Coastline is not the operator or manager, but the
Platform maintainer.
To put it bluntly, it is an online real estate developer. These third-party game developers are like small merchants. They set up a storefront and sell games. Then they have to hand over 33.3% of the income to Coastline Company, which is equivalent to a tax on these third-party developers.
The authors charge a commission based on this model.
From the perspective of third-party developers, we can only say that Ye Hua is so evil. From now on, for the majority of third parties, whether they are game third parties or other third-party software providers,
, in addition to hating the Apple App Store, there is another PHC ecosystem to hate.
Although the terms of this agreement seem to be of little use, its role for Coastline Company does not lie in the direct benefits it can bring. Its role is greater than the direct benefits, which means that Coastline Company will integrate future
In the game industry, once PHC is established, the entire ecological system that Coastline Company strives to build, including the game sector, will be revitalized, and there will also be a lot of profits here.
The opening up of every link in the phc ecosystem means promoting the entire overall system, which is a benefit of 1+1>2.
This is an internal meeting. It is a reshaping and integration of the entire industry by Coastline Company gathering the world's major third-party game developers. From the moment these more than 20 third parties signed the terms of the agreement, they
This means that the game industry will change in the future.
The third party has to accept the 33.3% black-hearted PHC tax for future jobs. It is not a loser or a winner. It is more about self-protection and leaving a way for its own future, but it is hard to say whether the future is bright.
However, the third party will not live and die because of the 33.3% draw. No, because after this meeting, these big guys gathered together for another meeting before officially disbanding and going back to their homes to find their own mothers.
.
These third parties held an informal meeting of the Global Game Industry Association, and they are enough to represent the global game industry.
The purpose of this meeting is to focus on how to eliminate the impact of the 33.3% PHC commission. After all, third parties are not stupid. A large wave of benefits have been spit out here, and they must be sucked back from another place.
As for the target, there is no better choice other than the player.
The current global price standard for 3A games is US$85 per set. The last standard price was US$60. But this time around for the PHC version of the 3A masterpiece, game developers all agree that it is time to raise the price.
The result of the discussion was that the final result was raised to US$115 per set.
Originally, third parties came to Coastline Company happily this time, thinking that future PHC games would definitely be able to open up new businesses. Although the expansion of the PHC market will impact the console market and PC game market, the PHC market can sell them more expensively. Technology
With the consumption upgrade and industrial value-added brought about by progress, users will not have much resistance to such price increases.
But now, I am happy for nothing, the price has been raised, but the money has basically been exploited by the vampire from Shoreline Company.
Shoreline is a vampire in the eyes of third-party game developers.
The only thing that makes third-party developers feel a little hopeful is Ye Hua's solemn promise that the PHC version of the game will not have a cracked version. In other words, there will be no pirated content under the PHC system.
This is what third-party game developers are most looking forward to. Piracy is always a problem. Piracy is well controlled in markets in Europe and the United States, but there is another super huge consumer market where pirated content is rampant, and that is Greater China.
market.
There is no limit to the various cracked versions of games. If the PHC ecosystem can really live up to Ye Hua’s solemn promise that there will never be piracy rampant in the PHC ecosystem, then this 33.3% commission is not unacceptable.
, the elimination of piracy is of great significance to the development of the Greater China market.
This has to mention the benefits of a closed ecology. In addition to the support of strong technical strength, as the maintainer of the PHC platform, pirated application services cannot pass the review at all, and they also have the power of life and death of major third-party application services.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Coastline believes that any developer has violated the agreement, he can remove his application.
In addition, a set of PHC version of 3A game masterpieces for US$115 can be exchanged for RMB 800 for a set of soft sister coins, which is simply unacceptable to domestic users who are accustomed to free piracy.
In fact, it’s not that domestic players can’t afford it. On the contrary, domestic players are very good at spending money. The game “Aifu” has become popular, and countless players have bought it. Lol players, most of them are loyal fans.
, the total skin consumption in his game account is more than 800 yuan?
However, domestic gamers are generally being bullied by Shi Yuzu one after another. Lao Ma has cultivated the consumption habit of free games and charging for items. Do you think they want to spend money to charge for a game without even playing it? What is even more outrageous is that they still sell it.
800 yuan? Crazy?
For domestic players who are generally accustomed to free games, 80 yuan is too expensive and unacceptable, let alone 800 yuan.
However, anyone who calculates this account will know that free games are the most deceptive. Those so-called free games are developers who use the gimmick of being free to lure players in first, and then find ways to create consumption traps to induce players in various ways.
Consumption, the final total consumption in this so-called free game is enough to purchase several sets of AAA game masterpieces.
Fortunately, domestic players are becoming more and more familiar with merchants' routines, and the concept of authenticity is gradually improving. In addition, if the anti-theft capabilities of the PHC system are better, the market in Greater China will definitely be better than before, not to say it is hot.
Already.
Thinking of this, third-party game developers feel a lot better.
