Reborn in another world as a game

Chapter 419 You have to leave something for your friends, right?
"I think so……"

Tian Moyun smiled, took out a folded white paper from his pocket, handed it to Xia Yu, and said, "This is a secret that concerns the entire industry, you must remember..."

"I know."

Xia Yu nodded with a heavy face, and carefully took the white paper. That thin piece of paper was as heavy as Mount Tai in his hand.

He knew that this was a responsibility, a major mission that the organization was about to entrust to him!
……

Well, the above is pure speculation.

In fact, Tian Moyun casually handed him the white paper in his pocket: "I think so, and I want to hear how you understand this grading arrangement from the standpoint of a game manufacturer."

Xia Yu opened the white paper, read it quickly, and frowned, thinking.

After a long time, he said: "Small and medium-sized manufacturers will not refuse, they are very happy to see the emergence of this grading system, but this move will inevitably lead a large number of players to turn to cheap games with higher cost performance and more playability, thus weakening the head I'm afraid they won't be happy with the interests of manufacturers."

Game price rating system.

It can effectively guide a group of price-conscious players to the "preferential zone".

This is a great perk for games that were good quality but didn't sell well for whatever reason.

But for top-selling head games, the revenue will inevitably drop a lot.

The reason is very simple -

The number of arcade players is basically fixed.

Passers-by who are not interested will not become players just because you created a "preferential zone".

And if there are no new players to open a "preferential area", the number of players in the head game must be reduced by at least 20%, which is inevitable.

think about it--

It’s also about playing games. You can play one game for one dollar in the top game, and five or ten games for one dollar in the special discount area. Will it give players the same feeling?

On the one hand, the game is brilliant and fun, on the other hand, the number of times it can be played is several times more... There is bound to be a group of players entering the special lineup.

There are more chances of success in ordinary games, so I am naturally happy.

But what about head games?

It is conservatively estimated that 20% of players are lost, and it may even be far more than 20%. This is all money.

As far as the tenth best-selling game is concerned, the daily revenue is basically in the range of 100 million to 300 million.

What is 20% churn?
A loss of 20 to 60 in one day, hundreds of millions in a month...

Although these top games are quite profitable, and their annual profit can exceed that of many listed companies, but to directly cut off such a large amount of income, the game manufacturer must vomit blood in anger, can they easily agree?

……

"That's beyond their control."

Tian Moyun said lightly: "As a platform side, I need to consider more game manufacturers, instead of allowing them to encroach on the market share of these small and medium-sized manufacturers... Besides, it is also true that players generally think it is expensive. To a certain drainage effect."

"Too……"

Xia Yu nodded silently.

This kind of thing is really beyond their control.

Before the game manufacturers are in terms of platforms, they are ultimately a disadvantaged group.

Even if they get mixed up with the four top manufacturers, they are only the overlord in the field of game design. Looking at the entire game industry, only the first party who is the platform is the real father.

And most importantly -

At present, there is only [Thunder Game] as an arcade platform in China.

In the era of the Big Three, they thought about getting involved in the arcade business, but unfortunately, their new console was tricked and encountered a "patriotic incident", and they were forced to leave in embarrassment. without a trace.

With the end of the Big Three and the recovery of the Great Xia Kingdom's economy, the first thing to increase is housing prices.

The housing prices are rising crazily, and the cost of entering the arcade market is getting higher and higher...

The position of [Thunder Game Hall] is becoming more and more unbreakable.

Even if overseas giants re-enter the Daxia market, they might not dare to be cruel and spend tens of billions on the arcade...

What are the benefits of an absolute oligarchy?
There are so many benefits.

If Tian Moyun was greedy for money, he could increase the rake ratio crazily and oppress the interests of game manufacturers.

Just like the Big Three at the beginning, although they ended tragically, they did make a lot of money during the period of "blackening".

……

Tian Moyun has no intention of making money like crazy.

The proposed "Game Price Grading System" this time not only harmed the interests of leading game manufacturers, but also harmed his own interests.

But the benefits in exchange are also obvious——

The emergence of the "Premium Zone" will greatly benefit gamers, allowing them to experience more good games that have been neglected, and play them at a very cheap price, instead of being limited to those popular games on the best-selling list .

In this way, the game lineup for players to choose from is richer and more cost-effective.

This greatly prolongs the lifespan of [Thunder Game Hall], and can even attract some players who gave up because of the high price. In the long run, the result of this approach is a win-win situation.

The platform increases traffic and life.

Game manufacturers have more display opportunities.

Gamers can experience a ton of great games for cheap.

No one loses.

It's just... not everyone can understand the concept of triple wins.

Some manufacturers dominated by capital, they will frantically extract future value for short-term profits, short-sighted, and do not believe in the future.

……

"What about "King of Fighters"?"

Xia Yu asked: "The game price classification you set has three grades, namely 1 yuan, 0.2 yuan, and 0.1 yuan; the price of those top games should be the highest level of 1 yuan. "The King of Fighters "Do you want to put it in this position too?"

The game price grading system is a matter for the entire arcade industry.

But the new game "The King of Fighters" that is about to be released now is what Xia Yu really wants to consider.

What level should the game price of "The King of Fighters" be set at?
It is definitely impossible to enter the preferential zone, but the highest level of 1 yuan... still has to hit the profits of those top games.

In the past, the super masterpiece "The King of Fighters" was grabbing the high-end game market, and then there was the "premium zone" grabbing the passer-by market. These top games are also pitiful enough, and I'm afraid they won't even earn half of the previous ones.

The revenue suddenly plummeted to such a point that those top manufacturers would definitely block the door angrily.

It's miserable enough to think about it...

……

"This is..."

Tian Moyun pondered for a moment: ""The King of Fighters" is the first 32-bit game, and it is also a super masterpiece with an investment of nearly [-] million. It needs a special new arcade machine to run. It is definitely impossible to put it in the same gear as those games, that would be too bullying people..."

"Let's set up a higher-end price. The price... the price in the first month of release is 3 yuan, and the price will drop to 2 yuan in the second month."

This price is afraid that those senior high-level players will be hungry.

However, Xia Yu has no opinion on this. The brilliance of "King of Fighters" is far from that of those best-selling masterpieces. Every detail of the game is top-notch. It cost a huge sum of money and took half a year... to sell one High prices are also normal.

It's not that I want to take the opportunity to make more money, but——

You have to leave something for your friends and merchants, right?
