The pre-sale data of "Dark Souls 2" is booming all the way.
On the other hand, among the seven mobile games listed on the future store, only one received more than 100,000 downloads the next day.
Several other mobile games.
The number of downloads didn’t even exceed 50,000…
This data clearly exceeded many people's expectations.
This is not to mention compared with the traditional games of Linmu Studio.
It’s not even comparable to an accounting software!
Okay, you said that accounting software is the first third-party application bonus.
There are also many third-party applications launched during this period.
The effects are also strange.
For example, a recent application has only one function, and that is the timing that comes with the operating system.
However, by opening this software for timing, you can soft-lock the phone within the time limit.
And just such a simple timing software ended up with millions of downloads!
The difference is really huge!
Investors see this data.
He even had the same idea as the president of Kexi Entertainment.
That is - did Linmu Studio limit the traffic or hide the download volume?
Because it’s the time when the storm arrives.
This fact is indeed a bit hard to accept.
but.
Many interested people did a little research.
I found that whether it is my own or someone else’s future s1, when I open the future store, I can see the seven new games on the homepage at first glance.
Although due to various reasons, these games do not have special pages.
But because so many mobile games are launched intensively, Future Store still gives them enough face.
This is not like limiting traffic.
As for hidden downloads, it’s hard to see.
But this thing makes no sense.
And the risks are also high.
If one of these mobile games explodes like the six previous Linmu Studio mobile games, the company will die on the spot.
And these seven mobile games.
Until now...how to say.
Not a single wave was stirred up.
There are very few downloads, and no one is discussing it on social media.
At present, the future store is still a very new thing for many users. In addition, future s1 has recently solved production problems, and production and shipments have surged.
There is a steady stream of new users buying mobile phones.
Under such circumstances, it is really ugly to have such a small number of downloads and not have any discussion at all.
Especially on the other hand, "Dark Souls 2", which is currently more than ten times more expensive than mobile games, has pre-sale sales exceeding three million in just one hour...
This contrast is so strong that it even makes many people doubt whether the mobile game trend... is really reliable?
And many game media are also interested.
They downloaded the seven online mobile games and then browsed the comment section for a while.
Finally, they finally figured out the situation...
The comment sections of these seven mobile games are not very good, and players who have played them have not given very good reviews.
“It’s too similar to previous mobile games.”
"They still charge money."
"It doesn't feel as fun as the previous "Fruit Ninja"/"Temple Run"."
“I actually have to re-register, and there are still advertisements.”
"Is not fun."
"..."
above.
These are the most vivid comments below in the comment areas of these mobile games.
Different games will have some differences.
For example, there will be some changes in the message below whether there is a fee or not.
But most of the reviews are pretty much the same.
For example - it's very similar to the reviews of Linmu Studio's previous mobile games, which are listed under each game.
Many game media editors can understand this.
At the press conference of Linmu Studio, the question of what can be done with one finger connected all the mobile games. Until now, many developers still remember it vividly.
When 4G was just commercialized, everyone actually didn’t know how to make mobile games.
The mobile game launched by Linmu Studio is equivalent to a teaching session.
Be it Kexi Entertainment or other challengers.
Since you want to seize the market, learning from others is a must.
This is normal.
Nothing can be accomplished overnight.
Lin Yao did it because of the memory of her previous life.
Other developers don't have such a thing, so let's not talk about whether the gameplay you think of is feasible or not.
Market acceptance is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed.
Other capable developers will continue to polish their own games based on what Linmu Studio has taught them.
But a group of game companies like Kexi Entertainment are so anxious that they can only imitate.
This creates a problem.
In order to make the market acceptable, they not only made the mobile game gameplay similar, but also made the promotional pictures and videos similar.
Interested users, download it and take a look. Isn’t this similar to the previous mobile games of Linmu Studio? Then I can just play the previous mobile games.
Users who are not interested do not need to download it. They can directly see the announcement pictures and play the previous mobile games.
Because... to ordinary users, this thing really looks like a poor imitation.
This is one of the reasons why download numbers are so ugly.
And what's even more troublesome is.
Among these seven mobile games, several are sold at fixed prices.
Tell the truth.
Normally this is not a big problem.
Paying for games is accepted by players due to the rise of Linmu Studio.
As long as your game is good, someone will definitely be willing to pay.
But...
This is not normal.
The group of players who are willing to pay now are all at the Forest Carnival!
Originally, a large proportion of the first batch of users who purchased Future S1 were gamers, but these people are now not interested in mobile games.
Players don’t care. Ordinary users are more inclined to choose Linmu Studio’s mobile games when faced with similar games.
Even if there are users who want to try it, download it and take a look, they will give bad reviews due to various registration, advertising, gameplay and other issues.
The number of comments has increased, and ordinary users have stopped choosing it.
And people who downloaded the game then left bad comments.
There are no real players, plus the mature evaluation system of future store...
It is a direct cycle.
Coupled with the influence of the Forest Carnival...
It's really not possible to die.
After many game media editors figured out the cause and effect, they suddenly realized and came to a conclusion - these game companies really don't know how to choose the time... they are all caught up in the gun.
And what's even more dramatic is.
The second day of the carnival.
In the morning, a "World of Warcraft" meeting was held on site.
Lei Hongguang, the leader of the project team, came to the stage with his erhu in his arms and performed a short Erhu version of the Overture of the Dead that he had practiced for a long time.
Although he can only pull a short section.
But it really shocked everyone present.
Then.
He took advantage of the favorable atmosphere and directly announced version 2.0 of "World of Warcraft".
The game's first expansion pack - "The Burning Crusade"!
when on the screen.
The Dark Portal appears again.
Two new optional races, Draini and Blood Elves, are unveiled.
Pictures of many races fighting in outer lands appeared one by one.
‘The Betrayer’ Yin Lidan, as the main axis, soared into the sky, holding the Warblade of Azzinoth, spreading his wings, with his back to the moon, and shouted the famous line: “You are asking for your own death.”
All the audience in the field stood up and cheered together!
This version is really what all players are looking forward to!
Because under the leadership of Lin Yao, the plot of the foreign land has been laid out for nearly a year!
Nearly a year!
Everyone is looking forward to this forest carnival and "World of Warcraft" making a big splash.
And Linmu Studio did not disappoint players.
New expansion pack!
Not only are there new races!
There is also Yin Lidan who appeared in "Warcraft" and was defeated by Arthas!
Can players not be excited?
Of course excited.
Can’t wait to experience the new version immediately!
but.
This is just for players.
Many game media editors heard Yin Lidan's words, "You are asking for your own death" while watching the live broadcast.
His expression became very strange.
Why does this sound so mocking...
In fact, they are not the only ones who think so, many people think so.
Of course, these small pioneers of Gonghuo will not let go of such a good stunt.
Plus, Yin Lidan’s lines are really shocking...
so.
That afternoon.
The first game media to report on the current status of seven mobile games took the lead in using this line as the title of the report——
[You are seeking your own death—on the constraints of the current mobile game market.]
that day,
As soon as this report was published, the reading volume began to surge!
In fact, the article is quite well written.
In the article, the author analyzed in detail why the mobile game launched by the game company headed by Kexi Entertainment failed this time.
It makes sense and is very objective.
Finally, the author admitted that traditional games are still irreplaceable, and even the mobile games produced by Linmu Studio cannot be replaced!
Therefore, what game companies need to do now is not to replace traditional games, but to consider how to use the characteristics of mobile phones to create good games that are different from traditional games.
Otherwise... you are really asking for your own death.
right.
The entire report, except for the last sentence, borrowed lines from "The Burning Crusade".
But it does cleverly combine the forest carnival and the current status of mobile games.
It has touched the hearts of many players.
certainly.
It also speaks to the hearts of many investors...
The mobile game investment market...is cooling off again!
Because the investment institutions on the wave finally calmed down after seeing the situation of Linmu Carnival and the comparison of data between mobile games and traditional games.
The investment in mobile game companies that was originally promoted was temporarily suspended, and the strategy of casting a wide net became conservative.
Countless game companies that could have received investment are in dire straits.
But the worst.
Or Kexi Entertainment.
They are one of the most high-profile companies talking about making mobile games.
After saying that he would invest one billion.
Some time ago, I said I would double my investment.
Now, the game is made...
But that's it?
There are not even 100,000 downloads of the mobile game!
"Dark Souls 2" sold three million copies in one hour!
What else is there to say about being a mobile game leader?
Rubbish!
this moment.
Kexi Entertainment has really become a joke.
This strong contrast made investors start voting with their feet.
The same time that Linmu Studios released The Burning Crusade.
Kexi Entertainment’s stock price dropped to its limit.
Kexi Entertainment issued an urgent announcement explaining that this was a trial operation and wanted to appease investors.
But the effect is very average.
The outlet!
It can't be so ugly if it's a trial work, right?
The national price of "Dark Souls 2" is 269 yuan! Three million copies were sold in one hour!
Even if you don’t take into account the high overseas pricing, if you calculate everything based on this pricing, that’s nearly a billion dollars in revenue!
One game can earn you the entire company’s investment in the mobile game field!
This is just a pre-sale!
Really tired.
Let's destroy it...
Many investors do feel tired.
Because they found out.
The current mobile game has been hyped for so long... but it still doesn't make any sense.
In the eyes of many people.
Although mobile games sound good, they are both hot and the future.
But as soon as the forest carnival was held, everything was brought back to its original shape.
No matter how nice it is to say it.
Can one of your mobile games bring in nearly 1 billion in revenue?
cannot?
That's a joke!
No more playing!
Lin Yao herself never thought that...the success of the Forest Carnival would have such a huge chain reaction.
The Forest Carnival now seems to be no longer just a player activity.
It has also become a tool for investors to test the future of mobile games...
And now.
The results achieved by the Forest Carnival...are enough to make all challengers despair.
Exceed?
Do not make jokes.
Don't lose so badly that you'll burn yourself out, okay?
Therefore, other peers now really hate those seven companies that chose to launch mobile games during the carnival!
Are you sick?
Do you want to choose this time?
You're happy that you've made everyone miserable, right?
So you like touching porcelain, right?
it's good now.
Everyone is looked down upon together!
And those seven companies...especially Kexi Entertainment.
At this moment, I really hate Linmu Studio!
Because they have become role models now.
In their view.
Linmu Studio was busy making mobile games, and then it was running a carnival without letting mobile games debut.
That’s the archway! Reversing the course of history!
Damn it!
Although this incident was not initiated by Lin Yao at all.
Tracing the source.
It will become like this.
Or because of themselves, they must choose the time when the forest carnival is held to have porcelain.
They want a good name and bragging rights.
But I want the benefits, but I don’t want to bear the cost of failure.
There is no such thing as a good thing.
But they... seem to think there is.
That night.
The president of Kexi Entertainment was the first to launch an attack, insinuating that Linmu Studio had modified the download volume of the future store.
Then six other game companies followed suit.
Both words and expressions express unfairness.
It is said that Lin Mu Studio is both a referee and a contestant!
He also said that he wants his games to be available on Jiaming Alliance mobile phones, and may not consider future phones in the future.
To those in the industry, these words are a complete joke.
They do this just to make amends, save face and stop the decline.
But many users who don’t know the truth actually believe it.
And the third day of the forest carnival.
Linmu Studio just happened to hold a meeting for the new switch games "Track", "Super Mario: Odyssey" and "Animal Crossing".
These three games, with the exception of "Track", are all games with cute graphics and seemingly uncomplicated gameplay.
Even "Tracking" doesn't seem to be that big.
Old Switch users will certainly know the features of this console’s first-party games.
But ordinary users are definitely unaware.
soon.
Several game companies headed by Kexi Entertainment took advantage of this and continued to bombard the company.
Among them, Kexi Entertainment said the most unpleasant things——
"These games are actually mobile games in nature! Linmu Studio is just stealing and exchanging features! I really don't understand the rationale for the existence of switch. Is it to make two money by porting it to mobile phones in the future? For the popularity of these games!
Deliberately suppressing your opponent! It’s really ugly!”
The forest carnival was organized due to the opening ceremony.
The heat was already high.
In addition, due to mobile phones, many ordinary users occasionally glance at relevant news.
Therefore, the impact of these words is undoubtedly extremely bad.
Because many ordinary users really believe it.
Kexi Entertainment’s move is nothing more than seeing its own stock plummeting. It made a high-profile announcement that it would enter the mobile game field but ended up in such an ugly situation. It wants to make amends and continue to make trouble...
But this time, they really stung a hornet's nest.
Let’s not mention the players first.
As soon as this statement came out.
Lin Yao accepted an interview for the first time!
This is really rare.
So much so that the game media who were invited were confused.
It took a long time to react.
The interview location was finally chosen at the carnival.
noon.
Inside the venue of the Forest Carnival.
Reporters from gaming media met Lin Yao.
Originally, the well-known reporter in the industry wanted to discuss the issue with Lin Yao.
But Lin Yao refused directly and asked the other party to ask directly.
And the interview started in this environment...
[I would like to ask, some colleagues from Linmu Studio question the authenticity of the data downloaded from the future store. What do you think of this matter? 】
Because there is absolutely no right question.
Lin Yaorang asked directly.
The reporter also took the risk and asked a pointed question from the beginning.
"We will not modify any future store data, and there will be no traces of human modification on the data above."
Lin Yao pursed her glossy red lips, and then replied: "Next, I will disclose the download data of their respective games to these seven game companies that questioned it. If they still don't believe it, I will invite them to Youyou
Media headquarters, our staff were on site to check for them, but..."
Speaking of which.
Lin Yao suddenly changed the subject, her fair little face tensed, and she said coldly: "This is the last time! Future store is an application distribution platform! It is the same as the vaporwave game platform! And our games are also logged on the vaporwave game platform! The vaporwave game platform
There hasn't been such a sound in so many years.
It is very easy for these people to move their lips, but do you know what this means to us?
Let me make it clear! You cannot question our professionalism! I don’t want such voices to appear again! Otherwise, please leave!
To put it bluntly, several mobile games do not allow us to be so unscrupulous! Next, if they question it, they can verify it, and I can understand it.
But if you still have doubts...then we will always reject such partners! The future store does not need such developers!
First of all, what game companies need to do is to polish their games! Let users accept it, instead of questioning it when users don’t accept it. The first thing you have to think about is, why don’t users accept your game?”
The reporter opposite looked at Lin Yao with a cold face.
Inexplicable.
He actually wanted to pinch her cheeks...
Because it looks so soft...
This idea was so unexpected that she even wanted to take action.
Fortunately, I endured it.
Sort your thoughts out a bit.
The reporter continued to ask questions.
[I understand, then the next question is, have you heard about the remarks made by President Kexi Entertainment about switch? 】
"heard."
Lin Yao nodded, and then replied: "My evaluation is that he has never played games. I suggest that the shareholders of Kexi Entertainment change the helm. Even if he has played a game on the switch, he probably will not say it.
Come on like this.
If he feels that the three switch*** games currently announced at our carnival are essentially mobile games, then I suggest that he wait until the game is released and play it himself, so that he will know the difference."
[Switch games are indeed very interesting... So how do you evaluate the three new games on switch? 】
"Games designed for people to play games..."
Lin Yao thought for a while and gave the answer: "I know that after the mobile game is launched, some users will think about whether the switch still has the meaning of existence. In fact, we will also think about it internally, and these three games are probably quite
Just give me the answer."
Answer?
The reporter was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.
This is no small thing.
But she is a professional after all, and she recovered quickly.
[Then what do you think of mobile games...?]
"The portability of mobile games and the ability to entertain in fragmented time are unique to a certain extent."
Lin Yao flicked her ponytail and immediately replied: "Nowadays, everyone's life is becoming more and more stressful. After a tiring day, you may not even have the energy to turn on the computer... But the need for entertainment is real, what should I do?
?Mobile games can meet the demand at this time... In fact, in my opinion, it doesn’t matter what you play, or what the carrier is. What matters is whether you can have fun.
Whether it’s a mobile game, an online game, or a stand-alone game. Whether you’re playing on a console, PC, or mobile phone, as long as you can have fun, it’s worth it!”
[Then why is there no mobile game segment in this carnival? 】
"Because we are still thinking about how to create a mobile game that can make players cheer..."
Lin Yao smiled softly, then spread her hands: "We haven't figured it out yet, so we haven't."
reporter:"……"
She always felt that this very cute girl in front of her was making fun of herself in the lake.
But she has no evidence.
"Well, actually there is another reason."
Seeing the reporter's expression, Lin Yao chuckled again, then looked at the expectant reporter and suddenly asked: "What day is it today?"
"Uh... weekend." The reporter was lost for a moment and then replied.
"That's it."
Lin Yao winked at her and said with a bright smile: "It's weekend time now!"
reporter:"……"
…
the next day.
The interview about Lin Yao was released.
As soon as the report was released, it immediately hit the hot search list!
Players were very surprised when faced with this rare interview.
And many ordinary users are also very surprised.
They were mainly surprised by Switch and Lin Yao.
Many users who have never been exposed to Switch, after seeing the promotional videos of several new games and hearing the remarks of the president of Kesi Entertainment, really feel that it feels like a mobile game.
but.
Lin Yao didn't think so, and neither did most of the players below the comments.
This surprised them.
is this real?
On the other hand.
Lin Yao also exceeded many people's expectations.
Although she has appeared on camera quite a few times.
But this scene of face-to-face dialogue is really rare...
And her elegant and elegant look is really charming.
Especially the last scene.
After reading the entire interview, many ordinary users don’t even care about the game anymore and just start playing "heartbeat"...
And this interview.
The influence goes far beyond that.
Because Lin Yao’s attitude towards mobile games expressed in the interview was generally positive.
The market, which had just calmed down, is roaring back to life...
Investors.
I regained my confidence!
Because of Linmu Studio, Lin Yao is still optimistic about mobile games...
Yes.
It's just so outrageous...
certainly.
Not everyone was happy watching this interview.
Those game companies that cried out that it was unfair and said that they would switch to the Jiaming Alliance immediately fell silent when they saw the report.
The Jiaming Alliance app store is not yet online...
They just said a few words of praise.
Really blocked.
That’s it…
And Linmu Studio really didn't just say it. Not only did they give them the download data of the game after the interview, but they actually invited them to come and verify it on site.
certainly.
No one dares to go.
but……
There will always be one or two who are self-righteous and think that Linmu Studio is just a challenger who talks harshly.
Kesi Entertainment...is that challenger.
The night this report was released.
The official account of Kexi Entertainment reposted it, but said something weird: "That's what it says, but who knows the truth? Can't the data be faked?"
This sentence was specifically requested to be added by the frustrated CEO of Kexi Entertainment.
Because in the interview, Lin Yao said that he suggested changing Kexi Entertainment to a new president, which caused him to encounter a great challenge.
And this sentence... was just sent out not long ago.
Lin Yao saw it.
And half an hour later.
Linmu Studio and YouMedia issued a joint announcement, announcing that the future store will not welcome any applications from Kexi Entertainment!
Not only that, the vaporwave game platform is not welcome either!
at the same time.
The two major platforms will remove all games from Kexi Entertainment at the same time!
The announcement was short.
All in all, it’s not even two hundred words.
Linmu Studio used very calm words to tell a cold-blooded fact - not only mobile games, but also traditional games of Kesi Entertainment cannot be sold through our channels!
To put it simply - get out!
And when the announcement was released.
Kesi Entertainment.
Their president was still reading the report, looking at Lin Yao's remarks suggesting that Kexi Entertainment should change its helm, and cursed: "Bah! You have to build a memorial arch to be a bitch!"
until.
The secretary rushed in hurriedly and told him what had happened.
"Are you kidding!?"
After hearing this, the CEO of Kexi Entertainment opened his eyes wide with disbelief: "How dare they! How is it possible!"
"President! It's not a question of whether you dare or not! They have already done it!"
The secretary's voice was sharp and her whole face was wrinkled: "Our games have been taken off the shelves! Look!"
The CEO of Kexi Entertainment immediately woke up the screen in a panic and opened the vaporwave game platform.
Then.
He searched for his own online games on the vaporwave gaming platform.
Not found.
Go to your mobile phone to search for mobile games.
Still not found.
this moment.
The CEO of Kexi Entertainment discovered that his hands were shaking...
The uneasy and angry emotions fade away.
He finally realized.
I've made trouble myself.
There wasn't much time left for him to be stunned.
soon.
His cell phone rang like a reminder.
Immediately afterwards.
The secretary's cell phone not far away also started ringing.
Even outside the office.
The public phones are ringing...
Who is calling?
The secretary doesn't know.
But she knows what Kexi Entertainment will experience next...
The channel is gone.
And it will also be strangled by the channel manager, the largest game company in the country.
She raised her head and looked at her boss bitterly.
The CEO of Kexi Entertainment was still sitting blankly, muttering: "How dare they..."
the next day.
The announcement issued by Linmu Studio quickly gained momentum.
Many people reacted instantly, Linmu Studio... this is real.
And the impact of this announcement.
Very big.
Starting from this day, Kexi Entertainment's stock will continue to fall in the next half month.
From the peak of fifteen yuan, it fell directly below the issue price!
Then keep falling!
Because after the announcement was made... everyone knew.
