Chapter 656 - No In-App Purchases (Four Changes)
Many players in the experience store also uploaded various video materials to the Internet, and some anchors simply started live broadcasts directly in the game cabin, and even Zou Zhuo, a little fat man who is known as two pigeons in three days, also started a live broadcast, talking while playing beautifully.
And there is a lot of discussion about the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" on the Internet.
"Has anyone watched the PUBG demo? I think this game is unexpectedly interesting! ”
"I watched Lao P's live broadcast, and finally succeeded in eating chicken! The sense of accomplishment is overwhelming! ”
"What do you mean by eating chicken?"
"You don't even know that? At the end of the game, if you survive to the last place, a sentence will appear on the screen, 'Good luck, eat chicken tonight', indicating that you are the last survivor of the game! ”
"Why chicken instead of duck??"
"Oh, it seems that this sentence comes from a saying, called inner inner, chicken dinner! It is said to come from a saying in European and American casinos, but it fits well with the background of this game. But I think it's just Chen Mo's bad taste. ”
"Chen Mo didn't dare to make the background of the story domestic, or he would definitely not be able to pass the review ......"
"I also found it very interesting to watch the video, but players who have actually played it reacted more violently, and they all said that the game was very fun!"
"It's also evil to say, they can't tell how fun this game is, they just think it's very fresh!"
"I can't wait for the game to be released, I'll go to the experience store tomorrow and line up!"
"Wake up, you can't get in line, unless you go two hours before you open in the morning...... Because these forces basically won't get off the machine at all as soon as they play! ”
To the great surprise of many players, PUBG seems to be unexpectedly popular!
At first, many players thought that this game was nothing more than a novel mode, and there was nothing else particularly worth bragging about, but after really playing and watching the game video, I found that this was not the case!
It's really fun to play!
One of the most intuitive feelings is that this game is very comfortable to play, there is something to do in every second, and the feeling of each game is completely different!
The whole map is very large, and even if players fly to a different place every game, they will get a completely different game experience.
Moreover, the game mode of the experience store is not an official mode, because the number of people is limited, so only 80 people can play, and you must wait for the end of one game before you can start the next one, and players who land in a box can only wait.
However, since these people are all on the scene, even if they land in a box, they can go out of the game cabin and chat with other people, so the impact is not great.
Once the game is officially launched, players will be able to start the next round as soon as they die in the game, and the frustration will be further reduced.
……
On April 8, "PUBG: Battle Royale" was officially released!
During the week from April 1st to April 8th, the topic of PUBG has been heating up every day, from the beginning when players were just curious, to the continued popularity of the experience store, there are new topics about PUBG on the Internet every day!
The experience store has become a gathering place for the first batch of PUBG players, and players are discussing the new routines, new ways to play, and some new experiences in the game every day.
As for those players who can't grab the VR game cabin, they go to the holographic projection viewing area to watch the game, although they can't play, but they are also very engaged in watching and enjoying it.
Various gameplay videos and live streams were posted online, and many players became interested in the game after watching it, but the problem was that they couldn't play it!
This week, but many players have been waiting a little scratching.
The pre-sale of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" has already begun, and the official version of this game is priced at 980 yuan, while the pre-sale version is 780 yuan, which is a full 200 yuan cheaper.
In addition, "PUBG", like "Torture Original", also has an Internet café version, but the price is more expensive, and the price of each activable VR game cabin in the Internet café is 2680, which is much more expensive than "Torture Original".
As for why it's expensive......
It's obvious, can this game be on the same level as Torture Prototype?
The unit price is sold at 980 in the hope that more players can chop their hands, and if the Internet café version is sold cheaply, Chen Mo will lose money.
So far, domestic VR Internet cafes are not particularly enthusiastic about this game, after all, this game is different from "Torture and Killing", and many Internet café owners still have certain doubts about whether this new shooting game can be a hit.
After all, according to the price of traditional FPS games in China, the price of 980 is not expensive, but there is no particularly obvious competitive advantage. After all, Chen Mo's previous "Overwatch" was directly made into a free version, which had a great impact on the FPS market.
"Wolf Soul" and "Fire Assault" have basically been discounted and reduced in price since then, but these two games have in-app purchase content after all, so the impact on profitability is not particularly large.
Chen Mo doesn't plan to add any in-game paid content to PUBG, and he doesn't plan to do things like spending money to open boxes.
In addition to the buyout fee at the beginning, there is only one subsequent fee point, which is the transaction tax.
Players can get gold coins by playing the game, and the gold coins can be traded freely when the gold coins are unboxed, and the price is not limited, but each transaction must pay 10% transaction tax to the official.
If a small skirt is sold for 2,500 yuan, 250 yuan of transaction tax will be charged, and this money will be deducted directly from the seller. That is to say, the seller's price is 2500, and the actual amount received is 2250.
Of course, there will definitely be players who want to trade privately, and the solution to this is actually very simple, such as only listing items in the general auction store in the game, not one-on-one transactions, buyers and sellers cannot view each other's names, delayed display of items after they are hung in the store, and the scarcity goods system automatically ships them regularly, etc.
Although there are policies and countermeasures, as long as all the transaction loopholes are blocked with strict rules, players can only honestly trade according to Chen Mo's requirements.
After all, it's a matter of profitability, how can there be a loophole? It's about the professionalism of the designer.
Many players are already impatient to wait, and the pre-sale version is so much cheaper, so naturally they don't hesitate to buy it!
And Chen Mo has also repeatedly stated that this game is paid once and enjoyed forever, and all subsequent updates will no longer be charged, and there is no in-app purchase service in the game!
The article "There is no internal purchase" made many players cry out for conscience, especially when this word came out of Chen Mo's mouth, it was even more shocking.
Who doesn't know that Chen Mo is about to lose money when he sells skins......
If you want to say that the routine of "the game is free, the skin is expensive", it is really Chen Mo who brought it up from "League of Legends", so that on the mobile game platform, free games have become the mainstream, and even "Overwatch" on the VR platform has also played this routine, and the effect is not bad.
Players have long been clear about the "free game" set, saying that it is free, but in fact, this is deeper than the pit of paid games!
As a result, now Chen Mo actually said that there is no in-app purchase service in "PUBG", which is simply incredible!
Can Septent be so conscientious? It's not scientific at all!
