Chapter 1166: Mr. Yang, Won't Your Conscience Hurt?

After the launch of BioShock Infinite, as always, related events followed.

First up is a peripheral project for BioShock Infinite.

There are also official comics, so of course these don't need to be mentioned.

In addition, there are the game's figurines and related Amiibo, despite the fact that BioShock Infinite is a single-player game.

However, Nebulas Games still has a lot of multiplayer online games.

In this case, if you don't link up with each other, you're a little sorry for yourself.

Although Yang Chen has never done such a thing as staring at an IP development sequel and digging wool into death.

However, the theme linkage between various games, such as the release of corresponding skins and accessories in "League of Legends" and "DOTA", can be said to be a common thing.

The updates included in Monster Hunter also have this similar crossover.

For example, the deer head spirit in "The Witcher: Wild Hunt" and Ciri entered "Monster Hunter".

There is also Roshan in "DOTA", and the little dragon in "League of Legends", which has also entered the world of "Monster Hunter" as an event.

Regarding this kind of IP linkage, Yang Chen has always been happy to see it.

On the one hand, this kind of IP linkage will not have much impact on the balance of the game itself.

On the other hand, the things that are rewarded don't need to be too special, and they are basically a commemorative meaning.

At the same time, the linkage of this IP itself also has a relatively high improvement in the activity of the game.

Generally speaking, most game manufacturers are most concerned about nothing more than two points.

Most of them, especially some small and medium-sized manufacturers, are most concerned about the game's profit data.

The other is the player's activity data.

In the long run, player activity is more important than the game's monetization.

Because the player activity is high, it means that the game has a large enough pond and has enough players.

Winner takes all, this is a common situation in market competition, and the same applies in games.

If the activity is high, it means that there are many people playing the game and new blood joining.

Even if the profit is not high temporarily, it will always rise slowly in the future.

It's nothing more than killing chickens and taking eggs, or it's just a trickle of water.

In addition, for game activities, this kind of IP linkage can be said to be quite worry-free.

Including "DOTA", "League of Legends" and "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", Nebula Games' operating policy also has a unique activity.

That is to give players the corresponding options, so that players can decide the next game event, and what kind of Nebula game IP to choose to interact with.

……………………

"Sure enough, Elizabeth's character is really well portrayed."

In the office of Nebula Games, Lin Jiayi couldn't help but sigh when he looked at a copy of the statistics sent by the marketing department that Yang Chen handed him.

After Elizabeth's figurines were opened for pre-order, they had already exceeded 500,000 in less than 24 hours.

That's quite a high number.

Yang Chen didn't care much about this data, and when he heard Lin Jiayi's emotion, Yang Chen pursed his lips: "Don't think too much, it's just a simple female character advantage." ”

After all, Yang Chen still didn't say the three words of the old color batch.

Don't you know anything about the psychology of players?

Looking at the sales list of the characters of each classic game under their Nebula Games, you can almost understand what kind of psychology each player is.

The first to be in first place is Ada, Sister Wang.

This is also the first big-budget game in the true sense of the word.

Although the later "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" was even better.

But the kind of picture style itself, as well as the existence of various mods in the back of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", the eldest lady in the game does not have much presence.

In second place is Jing Jing in "Metal Gear Solid: Phantom Pain", which is also a classic character in Nebula Games.

As for the third best-selling one, Ciri from The Witcher: Wild Hunt.

The fourth and fifth were also pocketed by Tifa and Alice.

Including several female characters in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", they are all late and have entered the sales list.

Among them, Sylvanas and Winlesa Windranger of the Warcraft series are also among the best.

Including Ice Girl and Templar Assassin in "DOTA", as well as Ahri and Qin Girl in "League of Legends" are also on the best-selling list.

As for the male characters, a closer look will show that Geralt, Dante, Leon, Claude, Zax, and Sephiroth can play a dozen male characters.

You say Franklin in the god "GTA"?

The annual sales are estimated to be not as high as those hot ones.

Hearing Yang Chen's words, Lin Jiayi over there couldn't help but be speechless.

I'm tempted to say something to retort.

But in the face of cold data, it can only turn into a sigh in the end.

Chill and shiver! If you look ugly, you deserve low sales?

That is, the sales of these non-humanoid figures of Pikachu have not been counted, otherwise it will be found that compared to these characters, the sales of figures like Franklin, which are very unpopular, may not be as good as the sales of Pi God in one day.

With the launch of "Nebula Games: GO" before, it is not the individual game characters that are hot.

Instead, it is accompanied by peripheral figures, and the official cartoon is online, under the intentional promotion of Nebula Games.

Pikachu, Fat Ding, these cute Pokémon elves can be described as very popular.

"Okay, don't sigh, you can take a look at the DLC plot of the follow-up sea burial." Yang Chen looked at Lin Jia and said with a smile.

Hearing Yang Chen get down to business, Lin Jiayi also immediately opened his inbox and looked at the documents he had just sent.

I didn't read them all, but I just glanced at the general outline.

In an instant, Lin Jiayi's expression changed.

Looking at Yang Chen, Lin Jiayi couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Mr. Yang, you want me to collect a bunch of blades again." ”

"Isn't that good? Collect some blades, and after retiring, the company rewards a storefront, and then opens a small shop that sells blades. Yang Chen said with a smile.

God opened a small shop that sold blades.

"But the new scene is in the city of ecstasy under the sea? It seems that the story is not smaller than the previous "Halo", why don't you come by yourself, Mr. Yang? Lin Jiayi was a little curious.

"In a few days, I will go to an international exhibition that is not open to the public, and this is not Elizabeth's end, is this kind of thing more suitable for Lao Lin, you come." Yang Chen said with a smile.

Hearing Yang Chen's words, Lin Jiayi couldn't help but be a little speechless.

What is Elizabeth's end, this kind of thing is suitable for him?

Mr. Yang, when you say this, won't your conscience hurt?
