Chapter 233 Players Are the Cutest Group of People
Therefore, even if you add those players who only bought one copy of "Anthem" and made up for "Anthem 3" because they wanted a white female ticket, the sales of the first two games will increase by hundreds of thousands of copies at most.

As for the price, after so many years of "Anthem 1", the current price on the steam platform is only 18 yuan, which is less than half of the original price.

"Anthem 2" is also sold at the same 3% discount, so it is nonsense to say that Chen Tiancai will release "Anthem [-]" in advance in disguise.

One must know that the core fans of the "Song of Hymn" series have at least 100 million, and Chen Tiancai's doing this is a true gift for nothing.

However, this free gift has some additional effects. The hymn network, which was originally due to the game's vacant period, has returned to the public's field of vision, bringing a lot of heat.

It doesn't matter if it is the "Anthem" series that will increase sales. Even "Legend Chang'an", which has been on sale for more than three months and is almost at the end of sales, has followed suit, and the sales curve has also been declining. turned into an upward turn.

Today, the total sales volume of "Legend Chang'an" has exceeded 360 million copies. As a 3A game, this is a hit sales volume.

Taking advantage of this wind, Chen Tiancai asked Pei Guangming to update the release date of the first large-scale DLC of "Legend Chang'an".

["Legend Chang'an"'s first large-scale DLC "Western Region" will meet with players. This time we will provide you with no less than half of the map of the main body, including more than 25 hours of playing time. It is scheduled to be released this year. It will be launched on November [-]th. 】

The chain of news naturally caused a series of reactions, and the hot search industry has always adhered to the effect of one plus one greater than three, so this time the Zange Network can be said to have earned a lot of traffic and attention.

In the following days, the heat continued for nearly a week, and then gradually dropped.

Chen Tiancai didn't care about this anymore, but rushed to complete "Anthem 3" by the end of September. This time, he distributed "Anthem 3" to all employees, letting them experience the game and make some suggestions.

Although there is no need to look for bugs after having the world engine, but when it comes to the specific game experience, you still have to try it with a real person.

So after some small details were modified, "Anthem 3" was also released on October 80th. Although it was obviously not profitable this time, judging from the downloads of the white female ticket players, it was only on the day of the release. , 3 players received the free version of "Anthem [-]".

This terrifying download volume almost caused the Zange Network server to jump, but fortunately, the staff in charge of this aspect had already been warned by Chen Tiancai, so there was no major disturbance.

Originally there was no such trouble, but this time Chen Tiancai took this opportunity to promote a wave of World Engine's mall and added an independent Anthem network client to it.

Players are required to log in to the client of this hymn network, which creates such an effect.

In the next half month, "Anthem 3" has been voted by white women for 180 million copies. After calculation, "Anthem 3" with a release price of ten dollars lost nearly 100 million dollars.

However, what surprised Chen Tiancai was that the number of white female votes was far lower than his budget, because the number of players who owned the first two "Anthems" was about 230 million according to the statistics.

Aside from the number of free receipts, the sales volume of "Anthem 3" has also gradually approached 100 million copies in the past half a month.

This shows that many core fans did not care about the opportunity of this white female vote, but instead spent real money to support Anthem Network.

After all, in their simple thinking, it is probably because they are afraid that the hymn network will lose.

……

"We didn't lose money this time, or we even made some money indirectly."

At the end of October, it was getting cold in Beijing. Chen Tiancai was sitting in the office wearing a windbreaker, and explained the situation to Iron Triangle.

Pei Guangming stared at the data on the tablet in his hand, then gave a thumbs up, and said, "Boss is really amazing, actually relying on "Anthem 3" directly increased our income this month."

Li Zhu was holding a pen seriously, memorizing the data, and by the way, checking the sales of various games on the Ange Network.

Then he said: "Surprisingly, "Hunting Crisis", which we directly gave up, has also become popular, and the number of online users has soared from a stable of about 50 to 80."

"Many old players of "Hunting Crisis" began to complain that the version has not been updated for so long, and even left messages on the game page, hoping to see the sequel of "Hunting Crisis"."

Feng Bi also became interested when he heard "Hunting Crisis", because this is the first game the three of them made, and they must have deep feelings. After hearing Chen Tiancai's laissez-faire policy, he was somewhat disappointed.

It's just that they were very busy with work later on, and they gradually forgot about it.

"So "Hunting Crisis" still has potential to be tapped, but it is a pity that you have too many jobs now, and you are all crowded together. Even if you want to make "Hunting Crisis 2", you have to wait until the next year at least. .”

Chen Tiancai stroked the stubble on his chin and said.

"Why the year after next?" Pei Guangming put the tablet aside, and continued, "According to the days, the development of "Secret Realm Yelang" is almost halfway through, and it will be completed by the end of next year at the latest. And "Legend · The second DLC of "Chang'an" is also under development, and the online mode will also be launched in January next year. Judging from the specific date, my team will have no work until March next year."

Chen Tiancai shook his head with a smile, and said, "That's because there is still a big project waiting for you, and this game will be the guarantee I gave you at the beginning."

"Let the players eat real apples?" Li Zhu's eyes lit up, obviously he remembered this matter the most.

Feng Yu and Pei Guangming also resolved their doubts. Like a pair of curious babies, they grew up and looked at Chen Tiancai, waiting for his next words.

Chen Tiancai smiled mysteriously, and said, "We have to wait for the specific hardware, but you can see it before the Chinese New Year."

In mid-January next year, this is the day Guan Yu recently gave Chen Tiancai. In this new January, the 'Shimmer', which has been developed for four years, will finally be able to make the first-generation prototype.

70.00% Five's display effect is not satisfactory, but Chen Tiancai can already imagine what kind of expression the three of them will have after seeing 'Shimmer'.

But obviously, the next reaction of the 'Iron Triangle' made him underestimate their capacity.

"Before Chinese New Year! That means we can see it in January next year!" Pei Guangming yelled directly.

Although the low-key Li Zhu didn't make a sound, his face was flushed and his fists were clenched.

Feng Bi, who was married, was the calmest of the three, but he still asked excitedly: "Boss, how much discount will the employee's price for that thing be?"
