Reborn in another world as a game

Chapter 11 Tian Moyun's Ambition
Leyou Publishing Company, in the conference room.

"This is a normal shooting game, and it has passed the official review."

Tian Moyun spoke.

"Yeah, we know, but we still need to check it carefully."

Chen He handed the game over to the inspector, showing helplessness: "The previous "Super Cat Leo" also passed the official review, but...you know, I don't want to experience another national sensation."

It was indeed a national sensation.

It has been four or five years since the advent of video games.

Over the years, many good games have been born, but almost none can surpass "Super Mario".

There are countless bad games, but it is almost impossible to find one that is worse than "Super Cat Leo".

"Happy Game Company", a company that the game circle loves and hates extremely, Chen He feels that he should be more cautious about the new games produced by this company.

"You lack basic trust in me."

Tian Moyun said seriously.

Chen He took a deep breath, stared at him for a long time, and said leisurely: "Because of the "Super Cat Leo" incident, I almost became unemployed."

"Oh, by the way, maybe you don't know yet? "Cat Leo" not only caused a sensation in the game circle, but even appeared on CCTV news. Psychologists severely criticized it, saying that this game will affect children's mental health."

Tian Moyun: "..."

Su Qiong, who was acting as an assistant, immediately bowed her head and remained silent.

Speaking of which, she also participated in the development of this game.

……

"Contra" designed a total of eight levels. After deliberately lowering the difficulty, the game inspectors quickly cleared the game.

"Another good game."

Chen He couldn't help sighing: "Mr. Tian, ​​I originally thought that "Mario" was a phenomenal game, but I didn't expect you to be able to develop a game that is not inferior to "Mario". It's amazing."

Although it has not yet landed on the market, but with Chen He's eyesight, of course it can be seen that this is a phenomenon-level masterpiece that can quickly become popular all over the country, and its value is definitely not inferior to "Super Mario"

"Mr. Chen has won the prize."

Tian Moyun smiled, not feeling much pride.

This is a classic work from his previous life on Earth. It was produced using the advanced development tools provided by the system. In theory, he is a porter. At most, he has made some micro-innovations, not self-developed.

"Let's talk about pricing."

Chen He asked, "What do you think is the appropriate price for "Contra"?"

"99 dollars."

Tian Moyun said.

Or 99?
Chen He frowned slightly. With the recent popularity of "Happy Game Company", coupled with this phenomenon-level good game, it is inevitable that it will become popular in the game circle. This price is a bit low.

After thinking about it, Chen He suggested, "The price of "Contra" can be increased to 290 yuan, so that you can earn more."

Enough black heart ah.

Tian Moyun complained in his heart, smiled and shook his head and refused: "Maybe a large number of players will buy it if the price is tripled, but I don't think it's heartless to let players spend a lot of hard-earned money to buy a premium game."

Under Tian Moyun's insistence, the final price of "Contra" was set at 99 yuan.

"The release date should be the day after tomorrow, April [-]st, so we can also fight for a round of first sales."

Chen He personally arranged the release of "Contra", and then invited with a smile: "Shall we have lunch together?"

"No, we have to go back to the company."

……

Back to the [-]-square-meter office.

"Senior, why did you reject Chen He's suggestion?"

Su Qiong was a little puzzled.

"Because in my opinion, "Contra" is not worth so much money."

Tian Moyun smiled and explained: "It took us half a month to make this game, and the total cost of the cassette, transportation, channel sharing, taxation, etc. added up to no more than 25 yuan, and after deducting the publisher's share, every time a cassette is sold , the net income we can get is about 30 yuan, do you think this is not enough?"

"Contra" is a good game that is not inferior to "Super Mario". Even if it has not yet been released, everyone can conservatively estimate the final sales volume, at least not less than 100 million copies.

A game earns 30 yuan, 100 million copies, that is 3000 million, which is more than "Super Mario".

"I'm afraid it's not the only reason, is it?"

Su Qiong was very smart to see through Tian Moyun's disguise, and said seriously: "Senior, you must have deeper intentions."

"It's not counting... It's just that I haven't been dazzled by the benefits."

Tian Moyun thought for a while and said, "I took the time to do some research and found a very interesting thing."

Interesting things?
Su Qiong suddenly recovered.

"Our Great Xia Kingdom currently has a total population of about 13 billion, and games are not excluded. It stands to reason that the popularity of games should not be inferior to that of literature, music, and film and television, but you know... the gamers of Great Xia Kingdom How many people are there?"

Tian Moyun said slowly: "Leyou, Strawberry, and Banana, the total number of users of the three major game publishers is only over 900 million."

"This……"

Su Qiong was a little speechless, and thought for a while: "Maybe... most people are not interested in games?"

"It's not that I'm not interested, but the cost of the game is too high for most people to bear."

Tian Moyun shook his head: "According to the 1998 statistics of the Great Xia Kingdom, the national average annual household income is less than [-] yuan... Excluding food, clothing, housing, transportation, insurance, medical care, tuition fees and some necessities of life, the rest will not exceed [-] yuan."

"But do you know how expensive it is to play the game?"

"The price of a video game console is no less than [-] yuan, the price of a handheld game console is no less than [-] yuan, and the price of games is usually around [-] yuan. Yuan...for an ordinary family, this is a very extravagant consumption."

"And this is why there are only 900 million gamers."

"In addition, the two games we sold before, "Super Mario" and "Cat Leo", both sold more than one million copies, but have you ever wondered...why no one bought them after they exceeded one million shares? Is it? Could it be that our game can only impress one-ninth of the players?"

Su Qiong didn't speak, but her heart was like a mirror.

It's not that most gamers are not interested in "Super Mario", but that they think the price is too expensive, so they don't buy it, let alone...

They can buy one copy for five or six people and play in turn. The cost of 99 yuan is shared equally, and each person only costs about ten yuan. There is no need to buy a copy by themselves.

"I want to change the status quo in the gaming industry."

Tian Moyun said lightly: "I hope that games will be popularized, and they are no longer just luxury toys. I hope that more people can afford games."
