Number One Game Designer

Chapter 170: The demise of the two major companies

Until now, Fang Xi was a little satisfied with Hongyi's layout.

There are transplants of three page games, "Legendary World", "Three Kingdoms", and "Swallowing the World" on the mobile game.

"Legendary World" is still hot, and continues to the mobile game, opening movies anytime, anywhere, brothers, letter cut. The slogan is short, but effective, and it is already a masterpiece in the mobile game PVP.

"Three Kingdoms" is still stable, but "Swallow Heaven and Eat the Earth" after being transplanted to the mobile game, the water began to rise steadily, and there is a trend of recovery. Indeed, as Fang Xi had thought before, this kind of card drawing game is only available on mobile phones The real stage, relatively stand-alone, can maximize the use of fragmented time.

Relatively speaking, Legendary is not suitable for mobile games. PVP content requires high fluency, and being able to do this has requirements for network speed and configuration. In this regard, mobile phones are a little bit stretched.

Lu Qiu’s requirement for the legendary mobile game is that it can retain existing users, and even for this, an offline version of the legendary mobile game has been developed. This version can disable the PVP function, only refresh materials and so on, and perform data after the Internet For comparison, if you are sure that you have not used scripts or plug-ins and other equipment, you can move the results of your labor to the game. This feature is well received, and Fang Xi also named Lu Qiu's creativity.

In formal PC games, Hongyi now occupies the two major areas of FPS and MOBA, with a large number of players, but it has not yet caused a great impact on the inherent market.

The first is FPS games. Shooting games in this world are themselves in a state of decline. Fang Xi's "League of Survival: Battle Royale" is not considered to have seized this market at all, but it can be said to have restored this market. . According to Liu Hai’s report, among the players on the road to survival, less than 10% of them were PFS enthusiasts before, even less than 10%. To be honest, traditional FPS enthusiasts are even hostile to Fang Xi, because whether it is to survive The original plot of the road is still the Battle Royale DLC. Although it mainly relies on marksmanship, without marksmanship, the game experience is not too bad. This group of players can be regarded as FPS fundamentalists, but Fang Xi doesn't care.

The MOBA game is purely a completely new category. Before this game appeared, players in this world could not imagine at all. Can't imagine that a masterpiece with many global players would be a game with only a small map? But there are three simple roads, but they have infinite magic power, which makes people want to win.

In general, Hongyi’s current two masterpieces "Lead to Survival" and "Eternal", one is to activate the fps market, the other is to open up a new market, and what is the traditional market in this world What? For RPG games, Hongyi's current results are dazzling, but for them, it is not completely painful. At best, Hongyi just makes them feel the pressure, but the current game types do not overlap too much.

There are also different opinions within the five major domestic companies. Yinling's opinion is to develop copies of all Hongyi games as soon as possible. Even if it can't beat him, it will not allow Hongyi to achieve a monopoly in any market. Star Chart arrogantly thinks that Hongyi will not make RPG games at all.

Donghuang is relatively clear-headed. As the oldest game company that started in Linjing, the internal staff clearly realized that in addition to the quality of the game, the main problem facing them is the digital distribution platform of Honghu platform.

Several companies have not imagined a pure digital distribution platform before, but the digital version is very easy to be born and spread piracy, and the physical sales channels of several companies are hard to establish. How can it be said to give up and give up? Moreover, although the digital distribution platform is convenient, the convenience and resources of physical sales are also incomparable to digital distribution.

So in the beginning, several companies on the Honghu platform all had a joke mentality, and even Yinling had secretly funded some DM websites to crack Hongyi's resources.

But they later discovered that something was wrong. First of all, Hongyi never seemed to care about piracy and didn't care.

The second is the piracy on a certain DM, except that it skyrocketed for a period of time at the beginning, and then it seemed like ice and snow melted, and there was no more topicality.

It was at that time that the five major companies realized that Hongyi had launched the concept of games and after-sales, and had perfectly constructed the online community of games, which is hard to compare in reality.

In just three months, the five major companies were shocked that their physical sales, with a combination of digital sales in the face of Fang Xi, after-sales service, and platform communities, were completely defeated and completely defeated. .

Even now the company has begun to receive feedback from fans: when will you have a platform like Hongyi? We also want to talk face-to-face with designers. We also want to keep an eye on the progress of games we are interested in. We also want to have follow-up DLCs. Of course, it’s better to be free. There are even letters from fans accusing them of overpriced games. Let several companies have a hard time talking.

Could it be that they are not priced too high, but that Fang Xi is too enchanting and has reduced their game costs through talent?

Moreover, the 30 million players currently held by the Honghu platform are desperate. It is true that quantitative changes have caused qualitative changes. The number of players has completely caused a crush. The operation department of Donghuang Games has assumed a situation:

Hongyi pushed the price of all their games below 99 yuan, so that they can still make money with their 30 million players, but this move will completely destroy the market of the five major companies:

People’s games only cost 99 yuan with follow-up content, so why do your games of similar quality cost more than 300?

"Price wars are always the most shameless means."

why? Because the price war is a way to kill both sides, but it can really kill the other party. The quality is better than you, and the price is lower than you. It basically cuts off all your retreat. This is also the situation that Dong Huang fears most now.

Fortunately, the current Hongyi does not have this trend, and has not announced the finalization of the RPG game. In short, the most worried about the current five companies is Donghuang.

Yinling left Hongyi because of its talents, and its reputation among players has also plummeted. Every time a player commented on Hongyi’s family history, he would definitely say that Hongyi’s current Lu Tao left Yinling, which caused Yinling to be very painful. , The flames of revenge for Hongyi burned more and more.

Star Atlas is immersed in his own past and cannot extricate himself from it. This is a company that absolutely believes in story plots and character creation, and firmly believes that it is invincible in this field, so Dong Huang does not know what to say.

Chuangyuan has excellent offline channels, and it is also the most gnashed to Hongyi among the major companies. The digital platform of Hongyi's rise has completely caused the status of physical sales to plummet, which is almost broken.

Hailan made a fortune by introducing games, which is similar to Chuangyuan’s feelings for Hongyi, because the three independent games not long ago made overseas manufacturers suddenly discover: instead of thanklessly engaging in physical channels, why not directly board Hongyi’s ship What? As a result, Hailan hasn't launched any new games for a long time now.

In short, Hongyi, an enemy who is almost at the level of the Great Devil, sharpened his sword, but Donghuang and other five companies had their own minds, which made Donghuang's boss can't help sighing.

And then, Hongyi released a new press conference, the products at this conference completely let Chuangyuan and Hailan survive in name only. Let the five major companies instantly become three.
