âMany players in the experience store had uploaded their videos online. Some streamers even started streaming in their gaming pods. Even the chubby zou Zhuo, who was known for being two pigeons in three days, started streaming as well. He was happily playing while flirting. â
âAs for PlayerUnknownâs Battleground, there were more and more discussions about it on the internet. â
âââDid anyone watch the PlayerUnknownâs Battleground demo? This game is surprisingly interesting!ââ â
âââI watched old Pâs live broadcast and even won the chicken dinner successfully! What a great sense of accomplishment!ââ â
âââWhat do you mean by chicken dinner?ââ â
âââYou donât even know this? It means that if you survive to the last place in the game, a sentence will appear on the screen,âgreat luck, chicken dinner tonightâ, indicating that you are the last survivor of the game!ââ â
âââWhy did you eat chicken and not duck??ââ â
âââOh, it seems that this sentence comes from a saying calledââ winner winner,ââââ very clever dinner!ââ It was said to be a saying from the casinos in Europe and America, which was quite in line with the background of the game. But I think itâs just Chen Zhaoâs bad taste. ââ â
âââChen Mo wouldnât dare to make the background of the story Chinese, right? otherwise, it wouldnât pass the review ...ââ â
âââI also think that the video is very interesting, but the players who have really played it have more intense reactions. They all say that this game is very fun!ââ â
âââItâs strange. They canât tell whatâs so fun about this game. They just think itâs really fresh!ââ â
âââI canât wait for the game to be released. Iâm going to line up at the experience store tomorrow!ââ â
âââWake up, you wonât be able to get in unless you go two hours before the shop opens in the morning ... Because these B * stards basically wonât log out once they start playing!ââ â
âTo the surprise of many players, PlayerUnknownâs Battleground seemed to be unexpectedly popular! â
âIn the beginning, many players thought that the game was just a little new and had nothing to boast about. However, after playing and watching the game videos, they realized that it was not the case! â
It was really fun to play with!
âThe most intuitive feeling was that this game was very comfortable to play. There was something to do every second, and the feeling of each round was completely different! â
âThe entire map was very large, and even if players flew to a different place every round, they would get a completely different gaming experience. â
âMoreover, the experience storeâs game mode wasnât the official mode. Due to the limited number of players, only 80 people could play the game, and they had to wait until the end of one game before they could start the next. The players who had turned into crates after landing could only wait. â
âHowever, since these people were all at the scene, even if they turned into crates after landing, they could still come out of the game cabin and chat with others, so the impact was not big. â
âAfter the game was officially released, players could immediately start the next round after dying in the game, and the sense of defeat would be further weakened. â
......
âOn the 8th of April, PlayerUnknownâs Battlegrounds the escape officially went on sale! â
âIn the week from 1st to 8th of April, PlayerUnknownâs Battleground became a hot topic every day. At first, players were just curious, but as the experience store continued to grow, there were new topics about PlayerUnknownâs Battleground on the internet every day! â
âThe experience store became the gathering place for the first batch of PlayerUnknownâs Battleground players. Every day, the players would discuss the new playstyles, strategies, and new experiences of PlayerUnknownâs Battleground. â
âAs for the players who couldnât get a VR gaming pod, they went to the holographic projection viewing area to watch the game. Even though they couldnât play, they were still very engrossed and happy. â
âVarious game videos and live broadcasts were uploaded to the internet, and many players had a strong interest in the game after watching it. But the problem was that they could not play it! â
Many players were scratching their ears and cheeks in anticipation.
âPlayerUnknownâs Battlegrounds preliminaries had already started. The official version of the game was sold for 980 Yuan, while the preliminaries were sold for 780 yuan, which was a 200 yuan discount. â
âOther than that, PlayerUnknownâs Battleground was the same as sadistic killing of prototype. There was also an internet cafe version, but it was more expensive. Each VR gaming pod that could be activated in the internet cafe cost 2680 Yuan, which was much more expensive than sadistic killing of prototype. â
As for why it was so expensive ...
That was obvious. How could this game be on the same level as killing prototype?
âSelling it at 980 Yuan per unit was in hopes that more players would lose their hands. If the internet cafe version was sold at a lower price, Chen Mo would suffer a loss. â
âUp until now, domestic VR internet cafes werenât particularly enthusiastic about this game. After all, this game was different from sadomasochism. Many internet cafe bosses still had some doubts about whether this new shooting game would be popular. â
âAfter all, according to the price of traditional domestic FPS games, 980 RMB was not considered expensive, but it did not have any obvious competitive advantage. After all, Chen Moâs Overwatch was now free, which had a huge impact on the FPS market. â
âWolf Soul and raging inferno assault had also been on discount and reduced in price, but since these two games had in-game purchases, the impact on the profits was not particularly big. â
âChen Mo didnât plan on adding any in-game content to PlayerUnknownâs Battlegrounds, nor did he plan on spending money to open chests. â
âIn addition to the buy-off system, there was only one point of collection later on, and that was the transaction tax. â
âPlayers could obtain gold coins when playing the game. The gold coins could be opened, and the items obtained from opening the boxes could be freely traded. There was no price limit, but every trade had to pay a 10% trade tax to the official. â
âIf a dress was sold for 2500 Yuan, there would be a 250 Yuan transaction tax, which would be directly deducted from the sellerâs hands. In other words, the sellerâs price was 2500, but the actual amount was 2250. â
âOf course, there would definitely be players who wanted to trade in private. The solution to this was actually very simple. For example, the game could only put the items up for auction in the general store, one-on-one transactions could not be done, buyers and sellers could not check each otherâs names, the items would be delayed after being put up in the store, rare goods would be automatically released at a fixed time, and so on. â
âEven though there were policies and countermeasures, as long as they used strict rules to seal up all the loopholes in the trade, the players could only follow Chen Moâs requests and trade. â
âAfter all, it was a matter of profit. How could there be a loophole? This was a matter of the designerâs professionalism. â
âMany players were already impatient. Since the pre-sale version was so much cheaper, they naturally bought it without hesitation! â
âChen Mo also emphasized that the game would last forever if you paid for it once. There would be no charge for future updates, and there were no in-game purchases! â
âThe âno in-game purchasesâ rule made many players swear at their conscience, especially when it came out of Chen Moâs mouth. â
Who didnât know Chen Mo? he almost became the richest person in the world by selling skins ...
âThe idea of ââfree games with expensive skinsââ was something that Chen Mo had started from League of Legends. As such, free games had become the mainstream on mobile games, and even the VR Overwatch was using the same strategy, and the results were pretty good. â
âThe players were already familiar with ââfree gamesââ. Although they were free, they were more of a scam than paid games! â
âBut now, Chen Mo said that PlayerUnknownâs Battleground didnât have any in-game purchases, which was unbelievable to the players! â
Could salent be so kind? This was not scientific at all!
