Game designer: I am making games, not charity

It has been almost a year since the release of "Diablo".

But the money on the game platform "wg" has not yet arrived.

Because this platform holds the largest number of stand-alone game players.

So it is inevitable that there will be some situations where the store bullies customers.

And game makers like Chen Feng and the others who don't have their own channels and aren't particularly well-known are the easiest to be bullied!

The money on this platform, on this platform, is usually only issued once every six months.

But in practice.

Since the platform itself has to wait for half a year, after half a year, the platform needs to calculate all the sales in the past six months and give them a share.

This also takes time.

So basically the money on this platform arrives after more than half a year.

This can already be regarded as a very overbearing clause.

However, what we have to admit in this era is that traffic is indeed very important.

It's like the goose factory spent so much money on publicity.

However, Chen Feng only used 4 words of free game to get almost the same effect.

It is because of the four words of free games that are more able to attract traffic.

But stand-alone games are naturally not free.

Therefore, almost most stand-alone game manufacturers need to find these platforms with traffic.

Even in stand-alone games, Goose Factory, which is not very strong, is the same.

Of course, a large factory like Goose Factory will definitely be better in terms of share ratio and contract treatment.

After all, with the size and economic strength of Goose Factory, they may even have invested in this game platform.

"It's been more than half a year, and I finally got the money."

Chen Feng hurriedly took Zhang Wuhua to the financial side and checked the accounts.

In the past six months, the sales of "Darkness" reached 600 million in total!

Although, this is the sales volume achieved under various activities such as promotions and packaging.

But this sales volume still broke the sales record of all stand-alone games in the world!

And it is far more than that!
In this world, the overall sales of the best stand-alone games have only reached more than 200 million.

After all, VR stand-alone games are too expensive, and there are only so many stand-alone game cabins.

If it weren't for the rise of VR experience stores, there might not be such a huge number.

And Diablo.

The price should not be one or two thousand, nor two or three thousand, let alone 998.
Only need 198.

Take home Diablo.

You can play with a computer, and you can play all day long.

With such a low threshold, the sales volume is naturally terrifying.

It's just the first half year since it was launched, and the sales volume in Daxia's country has already reached 1 million!
It is enough to see how amazing the results of this game are!
The sales volume of more than 600 million, excluding various miscellaneous expenses, as well as platform discounts and losses from activities.

The game "Diablo" earned more than 9 billion yuan in the first quarter, nearly one billion yuan.

But the money returned to Chen Feng's company's books was only a little over 4.7 million.

The whole thing was taken in half.

The accountant next to him was worried that Chen Feng didn't understand the market, so he added: "According to the contract, the platform has the right to get [-]% of our game sales."

Chen Feng is naturally not Lengtouqing. Although he seems unreliable, he has seen most of the contracts signed in the company.

How can you not know that the other party wants to share 5%?
So at this time, he just felt a little heartache.

A full [-]% was taken by the platform.

This is a full several hundred million!
And this is just the beginning, this is only half a year's sales.

Although the sales of "Diablo" will definitely not be as high as it is now.

But it is bound to be able to make a lot of money again.

And no matter how much money you want to earn in the future, as long as it is on these platforms, it will be divided into a full 5% by these platforms!
But although Chen Feng was unwilling in his heart, there was nothing he could do.

If Chen Feng wants to rebuild a game platform for a single-player game "Diablo".

It's a bit too thankless.

It also takes a lot of energy to compete with other platforms, which is too troublesome.

Right now, his energy is still focused on e-sports.

5 million is enough!

At least it is enough for these employees in the company to take a good look at their own strength!
Chen Feng immediately summoned all the staff, and showed them the sales volume of "Diablo" and the money returned.

At the same time, he also pointedly said at the meeting: "Everyone, don't worry about the company's financial operations. Our "Darkness" has only been in half a year, and the sales have reached 5 million. I will use this money to operate "Underground" City and Warriors!
No matter how badly our game loses, the company will never go bankrupt, and everyone's wages will never be less!
So, everyone, feel free to work hard and keep working hard! "

With Chen Feng's words, the employees were all smiling on the surface.

After all, what will happen to this can be regarded as a celebration party.

Celebrate the first stand-alone game and get such a good result.

But when he heard that Chen Feng wanted to use all of the nearly 5 million in sales to operate dungeons and warriors.

The employees at the meeting couldn't help their hearts twitching.

Not only did they not have the slightest reassurance.

On the contrary, I was even more worried.

Mr. Chen has done everything himself, and he will lose 5 million yuan, just the above preparations...

This free game looks like... it's really going to be cool...

Time moved forward slowly.

For Platinum, the production of the game is progressing very quickly, even exceeding Chen Feng's expectations, and the degree of completion is quite high. Chen Feng is very satisfied with all aspects.

The "Dungeon and Warriors" he made now has better picture quality, stronger impact, and more textured music than the previous life.

The overall feeling is completely beyond the previous life.

So for this game, Chen Feng is very confident.

It's not just Chen Feng, the reviews of "Dungeon and Fighter" on the Internet are gradually getting better.

This also has something to do with the shimmering post that became popular.

Netizens saw Platinum's progress from that post, as well as Platinum Chen's persistence.

Therefore, most people also believed that Platinum Gold and Mr. Chen could make a very good free game.

At the very least, the quality should be guaranteed. If the quality of the game is still good and it is free, this is of course a good thing.

Of course, those netizens who think that Platinum will only make rubbish games this time, just for the sake of gimmicks, still exist.

After the two sides bumped into each other on the Internet, they would curse each other from time to time.

No one obeys anyone.

As for which side will win, we have to wait for the game to come out.

Only then will we find out!
……

One month later, Chen Feng, the president of Platinum Games Company, who had been silent for a long time, released the scarf again!
["Dungeon and Warriors" game will be launched in the near future, and you can make an appointment to register now, register first, and enjoy a lot of benefits!The following is the appointment registration link: http//www.#￥#********.com】

As soon as this post appeared, a large number of netizens flooded in and registered on the official website.

The number of pre-registrations rose wildly in a short period of time.

10w！50w！100w！300w！500w……

Moreover, this rising trend is getting faster and faster, and the increase is also getting bigger and bigger.

According to this trend, the number of reservations for "Dungeon and Warriors" will exceed [-] million. It is almost inevitable to catch up with Goose Factory, or even directly surpass Goose Factory!
At this time, in the meeting room of the goose factory.

Xu Chen was staring at the data on the computer screen, expressionless.

The employees of the surrounding goose factory all looked dignified.

Ever since Chen Feng posted on Weibo that the next game will be free.

Goose Factory has been paying attention.

Although it is a competitor, Goose Factory also wants to see what this free game of Platinum Gold looks like.

At this time, only 24 hours have passed since President Chen of Platinum released the scarf.

The number of pre-registrations for "Dungeon and Fighter" has exceeded 3000 million!
This is an extremely scary statistic!

You must know that Goose Factory has used so many resources for publicity, and even launched the TV series "Legend of Warriors" to increase popularity.

But in the end, the number of people who pre-registered for the game was only 1000 million!

This can be regarded as extremely amazing!

Moreover, this is still under the condition that the propaganda has been fermented for a month.

But Platinum Games Company didn't seem to do anything.

It's just that Chen Feng stood up and shouted, my next game is free, everyone can play whatever they want.

Then all of a sudden, there were more than 3000 million reservations.

Comparing such data, it can almost be said that Platinum Company has completely crushed their goose factory!
This person is simply pissed off compared to others!
The game hasn't been decided yet.

But now, in terms of publicity, Goose Factory has already been defeated by Platinum early.

And once he lost, he lost twice!

Last time, the duel between two Xianxia games.

And Chang spent so much money on publicity, the last half of the traffic was taken away by Chen Feng.

Now Chen Feng didn't come to divide the traffic of the goose factory.

But just throw out a free game and suck all the traffic away!

What the hell is going on?

Xu Chen saw that the number of reservations for this new free game, Platinum Gold, was still growing wildly.

His face became more and more gloomy, and finally it was as black as the bottom of a pot.

To be honest, it's impossible not to be impressed by the amazing statistics of the Platinum game.

But no matter how tempted they are, there is no other way, their Goose Factory will never make free games.

At this time, the employees next to him all had ugly faces.

Such a result, there is no way to keep up with the explanation.

Xu Chen moved the mouse and clicked into Platinum's forum.

Look at the comments of netizens on the forum.

"Hahaha, Mr. Platinum Chen is so awesome, it's really free! Anyway, it's free, if you don't play it, you won't play it."

"The Temple of War, the first guild of "Legend", is posting here to invite people to enter "Dungeon and Warriors" together. The warriors are fearless, and they will fight again! An old guild with strong strength. If you are interested in entering the game, add me as a friend: Jian Wu Hongyan laugh."

"To be honest, I don't have any feelings for Platinum. I only like to play VR games, but I want to see what this free game that has been uploaded on the Internet looks like."

"Garbage game, garbage game, when the game comes out, labor and management will go to the game to spray!"

After reading the comments for a while, Xu Chen said calmly: "From these comments, Platinum's game this time has quite a wide player base.

The old players of "Legend" before, some new players who joined in the fun and followed suit.

And some netizens who hate Platinum are all ready to play their game. "

Xu Chen's voice was cold, but there was a sense of yin and yang in his tone, as well as a deep-seated ridicule and disdain.

At this time, an employee next to him echoed: "I think Platinum's data has a lot of water, because of his gimmick of free games, so everyone will want to play and have a look."

Another employee stood up and said: "And no matter how many pre-registrations they have, it's useless. Their "Dungeon and Warriors" is a free game, and they can't make any money. The better the data, the better the data. The higher their operating costs, the more they will lose money!"

Hearing what the employees said, Xu Chen couldn't help laughing.

Although he was a little jealous of Platinum's data, he was not afraid at all.

As an executive said just now, because Platinum is doing free games, the better the data, the more they spend.

The more people play the game, the more stressed they are!

Once the game server crashes, they can only spend a lot of money to repair it, operate it, go round and round, and finally fall into an endless loop.

The company might even go out of business because of it!

This is a bottomless pit!
How can a game that is free and does not make money fill this bottomless pit?
In the end, Platinum Corporation's operations were just shooting themselves in the foot!

Thinking of this, Xu Chen suddenly realized.

According to his speculation, Platinum Game Company seems to have closed down many times...

But now, not only has the family not closed down, but there seems to be a tendency to live better and better.

Xu Chen's face immediately turned darker.

At the same time, a trace of worry arose involuntarily in my heart.

In any case, the popularity and traffic of the Platinum game are really here.

What if... Platinum Corporation really has a way to revitalize this bottomless pit-like free game? !

After all, what kind of stuff is in that guy Chen Feng's mind, but no one knows...
