Chapter 1058 - The Perfect Platform

"It's too expensive!" Hearing that it cost $200 to buy a 2048MB card in the end, everyone grinned.

But on second thought, this price is not too expensive, but too cheap. You know,This TF card is not a CD,The reading speed is very slow,This is a storage device that can complete the reading in an instant。

And the 2048MB cassette is only $400, and a 2GB mechanical hard disk is sold for more than $200 this year.

Although it seems that the price of TF card is twice as expensive, but TF card is small, the volume is only about one-twentieth of that of a mechanical hard disk.

Not to mention anything else,At least all laptops,In the future, this kind of TF card will be used as a storage device,After all, a special mechanical hard disk for a notebook,2GBThe price is 600 US dollars,It's much more expensive than a TF card。

If all laptops use TF cards as storage devices, then the size of the laptop must be able to drop a lot. Reducing the volume of notebooks is something that all notebook manufacturers are pursuing day and night.

If you calculate it this way, the price of this TF card is extremely cheap!

And the price of the TF card is still cheaper than the game cartridge of the Nintendo N64.

For example, Nintendo's current largest, 64mb game cartridge, the external price is 59 US dollars, but the TF card, only 15 US dollars, the price is nearly 4 times cheaper.

For a handheld game, it is only possible to have a 256MB capacity, and the general capacity is actually between 16MB-128MB, which means that most games only need to invest $10~25 to buy a cartridge.

If you do the math, the price is not too exaggerated.

And the key is the pricing of the game, how much the game will sell in the end, is their profit!

Then Daqian's game pricing policy is very important.

In the past, the pricing of all Nintendo games was nominally negotiated between Nintendo and the game manufacturer, but in fact, Nintendo set a price, do you agree?

Do you dare to disagree?

If you don't agree, then Nintendo will be able to keep you out of sale for a few months until you agree.

"In terms of price, we will provide a maximum price and a minimum price according to the different cartridge capacities used in the game!" Boss Jia said lightly, "These two prices are public, they are the same price for all game companies, and you are free to set the price of your own games within this price range." ”

"Games up to 16MB are priced at $19 and $39."

"A 32MB game starts at $29 and goes up to $49!"

"A 64MB game starts at $39 and goes up to $59!"

"A 128MB game starts at $49 and goes up to $79!"

"A 256MB game with a minimum price of $79 and a maximum price of $99!"

"A 512MB game with a minimum price of $149 and a maximum price of $199!"

"As for the higher capacity, there is no price limit, it is completely up to you manufacturers to decide, even if you are willing to price $10,000, Daqian doesn't care!"

"So good!" The manufacturer's expression was suddenly overjoyed, if the price is really determined by themselves, then they can come up with a lot of routines, ruthless routines for those poor consumers.

For example, in the early stage, some garbage games were promoted with great momentum, and then the price was set to the maximum, and finally harvested a wave or something when it went on sale, which is simply not too beautiful.

But in the next second, Boss Jia continued, "But there is one thing I must tell you, although the price is left to you to decide, the player has the right to regret it!" ”

"First of all, in the steam store, there will be a cartridge for the game demo, and players can directly experience the quality of the game in the store before deciding to buy it. In addition, players have the right to a full refund within 24 hours of purchasing the game, and if you rush to find some garbage game to set a high price, then I promise, you will cry ugly. ”

"......" Hearing Boss Jia say this, many companies that have been careful have closed their mouths, this 24-hour package refund routine is too ruthless, so that many garbage games can not make a penny.

However, many game manufacturers are very satisfied with this policy, and they are not just making a one-shot deal. Each of their businesses wants to create high-quality games that are of excellent quality and can always make money, so they are very careful to keep the price within the acceptable range of a player.

"Mr. Jia, is there any restriction on copyright?" Another company asked, which is also a question that many game companies are concerned about. If the copyright is restricted, it will have to pay $1 billion to redeem his game, just like the previous Daqian.

"Daqian only asks for exclusive authorization on the handheld platform!" Boss Jia said, "Once the game is released on the Qianjibian platform, it must not be released on other handheld platforms, otherwise you will have to pay $1 billion in liquidated damages!" ”

Speaking of $1 billion here, Boss Jia himself couldn't help but laugh.

"As for other platforms, there are no restrictions, you can do whatever you want, we don't care. In addition, the copyright is only for the current work, and there are no requirements for the sequel. In short, we don't do the kind of thing that threatens you with your copyright! Boss Jia's words were obviously motivated, which moved many manufacturers.

In the end, almost 100% of the game manufacturers paid $1000 on the spot, purchased a set of development programs, development skills, and an engineering machine, and immediately asked the programmers to start the research and development of the game on the thousand machine platform.

The fastest of them was only a month later, and they came up with a new game they released on the Qianjibian platform, and of course, this game was rated as an N-level game by Daqian without hesitation.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

"Welcome to Daqian, I'm Jia Yapeng!" After sending away the third-party game company, Boss Jia received the dealers non-stop.

These dealers are also from all over the world, after receiving the invitation of Daqian, some dealers even far away in Russia, have rushed over by plane for the first time, they do not want to miss the opportunity of the rise of this thousand machine change platform.

And when all the dealers sat down in the conference room of Daqian Group, all they saw was a thick stack of plans with "Steam Game Store Cooperative Franchise Plan" written on it.
