Counting on players to make interesting mods or game maps with love power, if the quality of the game is good enough, it is completely capable of doing one thing.

But there is a degree to this, and that is whether the effort is proportional to the feedback received.

Rely on your love to generate electricity for your favorite game, pay energy and money for it, and get only praise from gamers who also love this game, of course, if you are good enough, these mods can also become a resume on your resume, laying a certain foundation for your future development.

But mod makers who have reached such a point can be said to be rare, and more ordinary mod makers make them just because they like to love a game.

In fact, for things like mods, it is also a double-edged sword for manufacturers, some manufacturers are very supportive of various mods in the game, and even have special development tools for players to use, and even release MOD communities under their own platforms, so that players can upload their own MODs for everyone to better download and find.

But some manufacturers look like they hate mods to death, and even want to directly stab the mod maker to death with a knife, the main reason for this.

On the one hand, for game manufacturers, although mods increase the lifespan of the game, on the other hand, the longer the life of the game, the more difficult it is for players to migrate to the new game, especially for a buyout game.

Moreover, a large number of mods will continue to push up players' requirements for new works. All this will increase the pressure and workload of game manufacturers to develop new works.

At the same time, mods will not increase any of their income for game manufacturers, so some game manufacturers are very expressly forbidden to appear various mods.

However, for Yang Chen, he hopes that Nebula Games' products can be used as an evergreen tree, and there is no pressure on shareholders' financial reports on the one hand, and secondly, one more important thing is that he and Xu Yu have a common view, a game will develop it to a certain extent, and the linkage income brought by its IP will be higher.

"We can't reduce the quality of mods in the game and let ordinary mod makers develop better, we need to provide them with a complete environment, and even let them grab their due labor benefits through mods." Yang Chen looked at the people on the team and said.

Although the number of mod lovers is very large, and there are a terrifying number of mods in all popular triple-A games around the world, not all mods can become classics.

For mod makers, it is a dream story to be able to let mods exert the power of classics, and then let some big manufacturers take advantage of them, and even make them into independent games.

There have been such examples, but basically a slap can't be counted, and an excellent mod still requires a lot of effort from the maker, and the material reward is basically equal to zero.

In this environment, unless you love a game to the extreme, it is difficult to support the mod maker to continue to develop, but the same mod maker is also a human being, and needs to live, and passion and responsibility alone are not a long-term solution, so in all kinds of classic mods are faced or there is such a situation, that is, the lifetime series.

It takes months, even a year or two, or more to usher in a version update, or even completely silence after a certain period of time, or a mod that changes hands several times along the way, and even the core gameplay of the code is changed again and again.

In the final analysis, it is mainly because the mod maker can't generate electricity forever because of love.

"Provide the corresponding material library to the mod maker, just like the material in the official game production engine used, we also provide a variety of model materials that can be used in "Warcraft", according to the advantages and disadvantages of the mod maker's map, open the paid channel, players have the right to several free trials, and then they need to buy to be able to use, and players who have not purchased can enter the buyer's room for prostitution after the end of the right to use." Yang Chen looked at Wang Ye and the rest of the team talking about their ideas.

"There are no paid maps on the shelves, and every week we will select ten of the best maps and provide official financial subsidies."

Is there a shame on MOD charges? There's no shame, if you have to say, in fact, like the chest in "BioShock", the item is in a way, this is also a mod, or DLC, but this is made by the official.

The most important thing is how much the MOD fee is charged and the value of the MOD itself.

Listening to Yang Chen's words, Wang Ye and the others showed expressions of confusion and surprise, they didn't understand what Yang Chen's idea meant at all.

Does this mean turning modders into their workers?

"Okay, let's go to work first, I'll discuss something with Mr. Xu." Looking at the expressions of Wang Ye and Yuan Ye, Yang Chen also knew that this idea that suddenly came to him, it was estimated that it would be difficult for them to make suggestions, so he shook his head and turned around to go to Xu Yu's office to discuss it with Xu Yu.

The idea of charging for mods was actually an idea that Yang Chen suddenly came up with when he saw a platform called Orange Light in his dream memory and a creative workshop called the steam platform.

The former allows its makers to have material returns and income, of course, I won't talk about eating this thing, anyway, I can't wait to charge even a special voice.

But the appearance is ugly, and its operation method makes Yang Chen feel refreshing, the official production tools include the materials provided by the official in the production tools, and the mode of post-sharing all give the mod maker a material reward.

However, also because of its increasingly ugly appearance, this has also led to the subsequent development, which has been limited, and it is becoming more and more difficult to develop, so it is self-contained.

The latter's workshop on the steam platform allowed Yang Chen to see how its modes should be managed and classify mods.

Previously, on The Elder Scrolls Online, their official mod community repository actually had a workshop model, but it was still a lot worse in terms of completeness.

As for the MOD map derived from the map editor in "Warcraft", should there be a fee, so that the makers of the map who are good enough can have material gains, so that they can be more enthusiastic about making maps, or just be a manager, just like in "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", Yang Chen did not make too good decisions for a while.

This kind of business matter, although Yang Chen himself can't make up his mind, he understands one thing.

That is, when he can't figure out the issue of income, it's always right to discuss it with Xu Yu.

So, five minutes later, in Xu Yu's office, he had just completed the report on the e-sports development plan of "Yu-Gi-Oh", and Xu Yu, who wanted to be quiet for a while, looked at Yang Chen who pushed the door in, and he sighed silently.
