Number One Game Designer

Chapter 304: Player's expectations

For the benefit of the PC and the old and new home consoles, both IGN and GAME World have published news about the changes in the game platform in their own media during this period.

At the same time, it also conveyed a message to the players: which platform you like supports the game on this platform! In this way, your voice can be fed back to the developers, and they can make your favorite games based on your favorite platform.

Although it is impossible to know the sales volume of this game in one year in a short period of time, based on the complete market data of other games, both media can make their own models and make a prediction of future market changes. The details may not be too accurate, but the general direction cannot be wrong.

At present, the main comparison is the volume of the two platforms last year: Hongyi's revenue last year was estimated by the media to be close to 10 billion U.S. dollars, and the net profit is not clear. This is confidential.

Lao Ren's revenue last year was on the bright side, $16.8 billion. Net profit is also unclear.

Moreover, in the PC field, the Hongyi family now has more than 70% of the market, and Lao Ren has experienced the defeat of WIIU, and the market share in the mainframe market can be said to be horribly low.

So if you just look at this, you will feel: The current host market is really a great ride compared to PCs.

But one difference is that most of the income of Lao Ren comes from the handheld. If it is purely a home machine and a PC, the income of Lao Ren is not so good-looking.

The same is true for Hongyi. The biggest shortcoming of Fang Xi’s company is that it is not listed: this way the funds can be opaque. If Hongyi does not want to show you the budget, he can just make up a digital media. Use the nose obediently, because there is no more real information in his hand.

Some of these are easy to say, and some are more nonsense. For example, in some of the financial reports released by Hongyi, there is something called game script revenue. This thing shows one of Hongyi’s main expenditures. The remarks explain this script. It was provided by Fang Xi, the boss of Hongyi. Because of these scripts, Hongyi had to pay Fangxi more than 20 million in labor income.

Let the outside world see that the money is almost like Fang Xi took from his left pocket to his right pocket. It is a fart taking off his pants, but because of these items, Hongyi’s profit margin has dropped a lot, so at least it seems that Hongyi is not making that much too much.

In short, it seems that the mainframe market is still exploding the PC market at first, but if you analyze it carefully, the PC market has now entered a stage of vigorous development under the leadership of Hongyi. This year's revenue is likely to be explosive compared to last year. The growth of Hongyi’s main three games last year: Road to Survival, Portal and Eternity, two are low-priced games, Eternity is a standard free online game, none of which can make players’ wallets bleed, and last year Hongyi's Honghu platform has just started.

And this year's Hongyi, 3A games are available, and there are more games on the Honghu platform. In short, this year's PC revenue may exceed many people's imagination.

Midsummer's tail has not yet passed, but Joe's originally white cheeks have been tanned with a tinge of bronze.

Taking advantage of the bookshelf, considering that there are still a lot of things to buy in the fall, Joe and his friends together went to the gas station to do summer work.

Two people do chores at the gas station. They charge people for gas and collect money. By the way, they take a guest appearance at the convenience store cashier. Two people outside the gas station wash the car at the place next to the gas station. The gas station owner is also business-minded and knows one-stop service.

In short, after a month of hard work, the four people got their share of money. I politely bid farewell to the gas station owner, agreeing to come back for summer work next year, and then turned around:

"I will definitely not come again next year! I'm going to be an anchor and broadcast FANG games!" Qiao said grumblingly: "I have never seen a boss like this. At first, we said that we would take care of our breakfast. But in the morning, Just give us a cheese to find a way, F@ck!"

Others comforted that this summer job was the first social practice for four and a half children. Although it was not good, it at least made money.

Back to the secret base of the four people, a few people sat on the ground to calculate their income this time and what to spend:

"FANG's game is definitely to be bought, it is 50 euros."

"When school starts, I want to buy myself a new pair of shoes and put it out for 25 euros."

"Ren's new host looks very interesting. I asked Coff at the end of the street. He told me that the cheapest machine was 280 Euros."

"I have to bring the game with the machine. I want to play the latest Zelda, plus 55 Euros."

"I can buy another pair of shoes and a piece of clothing with the remaining money."

It is not difficult for them to settle accounts with this little money, and Joe is satisfied to distribute all the money quickly, and feels sincerely happy:

"Then we will consume now?"

Several people looked at each other:

"Then what are we waiting for?"

...

The autumn tiger in August is a bit more powerful.

Sun Daxing, who came back from the construction site, wiped off his sweat, and the air conditioner was turned on to a strong wind of 23 degrees.

After taking a shower and sweating comfortably, and lying on the mahogany sofa in front of the computer, Sun Daxing felt that his day had just begun.

As a standard successful old man born in the 1980s, Sun Daxing feels that there are not many ripples in his life.

The only disturbance is that the wife took her daughter and separated from herself, which is good, but sometimes she misses her daughter.

I entered the pit of Hongyi game last year. It's cool. I regret not having such a fun game when I was young.

From the very beginning of raising Kun, to the last work of Hongyi web, "Legendary World", are Sun Daxing's favorites. eternal? Also play, but the reaction power is now incomparable with young people. The record of playing two games is really ugly. The teammates can't scold and scold them, and they can't spend money to become stronger. So this game, Boss Sun basically just watch the game: himself Can't play, but I think I am the strongest king!

Recently, although Hongyi’s reputation is getting better and better, the senses of Boss Sun are getting worse: let Boss Sun think that Hongyi’s recent games are becoming less and less friendly to middle-aged and elderly people like him. In fashionable words, it means "forget the original intention."

He has several accounts in Kunming and Legendary World, and he has killed many enemies by smashing money. He hasn't experienced that kind of coolness for a long time. He has been waiting for Hongyi to release a new krypton gold game. The result is waiting. It's been a stand-alone after so long?

Looking at the endless advertising and the CG that looks almost as wonderful as the movie, Boss Sun felt a little loose in his heart:

Or try it? Just this time?

Anyway, this game only costs a meal. If you don’t feel good, you won’t lose money.

I don't know what Fang Xi would think when he heard Boss Sun's evaluation of "forgetting his original intention".
