Chapter 496 You have a new email, please check: The truth needs to be revealed
“Sale price.”
As he was talking, Shen Miaomiao, who was originally lazy, stood up from the sofa, walked slowly to Gu Sheng, and patted him on the shoulder:
"Stand up! The chairman is about to speak. Why are you so tactless?"
Gu Sheng was drinking tea when he was almost slapped to death.
He stood up in a panic and asked little Nezha to sit in the upper seat.
"It's my fault. I'm ignorant. Please take a seat. We are all ears."
Speaking of.
Gu Sheng walked around the desk and sat down next to Chu Qingzhou. He picked up his notebook and pen, looking like he was waiting to be ordered.
Chu Qingzhou couldn't help laughing.
Two funny guys.
No matter how big the Golden Wind is, no matter how much these two people have achieved now.
When the two of them are together, they always seem to be so naughty, laughing and joking, playing with life.
"Price! This is the most important part of our teaching this time!"
Shen Miaomiao, who was sitting in the first seat, also acted in a very serious manner. As she spoke, she pointed at Gu Sheng:
"Write it down, look at what I'm doing."
"Oh oh oh! Sorry, Chairman,"
Gu Sheng quickly opened the pen cap and said seriously:
"You are so beautiful today. I didn't react for a moment. Please forgive me."
"Why--"
Hearing this, Shen Miaomiao was naturally overjoyed, but she still waved her hands pretending to be reserved:
"Now it's work time, let's talk business first. When we're done, I'll let you watch carefully, dear."
Chu Qingzhou: What the fuck...?
"Tsk... If you two don't have anything else to do, I'll leave first, okay?"
Who the hell did I offend?
I was just like that passing dog, walking along peacefully when suddenly I got slapped in the face!
What? Am I also a part of your play?
"Ah—don't—don't—"
Seeing Chu Qingzhou's dark face, Shen Miaomiao waved her hands awkwardly:
"Let's talk business, hey, let's talk business..."
Price adjustment.
Shen Miaomiao doesn't understand games, but she understands the market.
What is the most fundamental reason for the Waterloo of "Endless Dark Tide" today?
Is it the Golden Wind's sniper?
Is it the monotony of the game format?
Or is the sale priced too high?
Both and neither.
Because theoretically speaking, any one of these three reasons alone is not enough to directly lead to the failure of "Endless Tides".
Only by combining these three together can we achieve the crux of "Endless Dark Tide".
A game priced far above the market average but not commensurate with its playability, collides with a game of the same magnitude that has both superior playability and price.
Failure is inevitable.
And now!
What Shen Miaomiao wants to do is to deepen and expand this failure again and rub salt into their wounds!
If they take advantage of this opportunity to launch a brand new game that meets the quality of the current gaming industry and is of the same type or even has the same basic gameplay as "Endless Tides", and offer it at a low price!
It is hard to imagine how the already worrying situation of "Endless Dark Tide" will collapse by then.
And this price war!
This is exactly what Shen Miaomiao expected to see.
after all!
The lower the price of the game, the greater the chance that she will get a rebate!
Suppose! Suppose!
The price of "Rainbow Six" when it was released was $1, so with a cost of more than 300 million, does it mean that no matter how capable Gu Sheng is, this order will definitely result in a loss?
Of course, this is just an extreme assumption.
The actual pricing still needs to refer to the range given by the system.
The pricing range given by the system depends on Gu Sheng.
In other words, if she can fundamentally offer Mr. Gu a low price that he cannot refuse, then her chances of getting a rebate will greatly increase.
On the one hand, it is to eliminate more investment costs for Huanmeng, and on the other hand, it is to reduce the game price to create higher rebate possibilities.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Opportunity is fleeting.
That's the reason.
"…So I think that in order to completely put an end to Huanmeng's fantasy of turning things around, it is also to create a better environment for public opinion to operate in for us,"
Shen Miaomiao concluded:
"We can make some adjustments to the price of the works we launched this time. After all, this is not our flagship work,"
"What do you think, Mr. Gu?"
I say the chairman is wise!!!
Gu Sheng couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up.
What a good idea.
Although doing so is somewhat despicable.
It is obvious that the previous Left 4 Dead MOD has already paralyzed "Undertide".
Now, we can use the latest gaming industry technology to create a game that is completely comparable to the original.
In this case, let alone giving Kotick one month, even if he is given another hundred months, as long as Kotick insists on his $80 per copy pricing, "Endless Tides" will never recover.
And that’s not all!
Later, even Cotick came to his senses and realized that the price was too high and wanted to offer a discount.
We also have to look at Golden Wind's expression first.
You know, a game that costs $80 still costs $64 even if it is discounted by 20%.
"That is, if we are willing to sacrifice our lives and destroy others, we can set the price at around $40,"
Gu Sheng pondered:
"Even if Kotick is discounted by 50%, it will only be equal to the launch price of our game,"
"Besides, if he can offer a special price, we can do the same..."
The discount doesn't have to be too high, just keep it the same as in Dark Tides.
If you give me a 20% discount, I will also give you a 20% discount. If you give me a 50
Just waste it.
Anyway, you know best how much money your project cost.
As the only flagship work, the total cost of development and promotion was at least 800 million or 900 million yuan.
Our benchmark work is not a flagship work, and its pure development cost is less than 200 million at most.
If you are willing to give up, then I am even more willing.
Some do!
Although theoretically, Gu Sheng has always been against selling works at low prices and engaging in price wars with peers.
But the situation is special at this time.
In order to apply new technologies to the escort masterpiece of Yiyoux3, there is no need to be so rigid and appropriate flexibility can be adopted.
Think of this!
Gu Sheng nodded:
"Chairman, you are wise! Then may I ask, do you have any instructions or suggestions on the specific implementation details and game planning of our work?"
"Well……"
Hearing this, Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but be stuck.
I could use some pointers and advice on hammering it!
I just need to get rid of Huan Meng so that my 2.7 billion can be put to good use.
As for how to make a game, how to design the gameplay, and how to do the overall planning, how would I know!
"this……"
Shen Miaomiao shrugged and grinned:
"Don't you think Mr. Gu should pay more attention to this?"
Seeing this!
Gu Sheng couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction, closed his notebook and stood up:
"Hey, then why don't you get up from that seat? Are you waiting for me to treat you?"
"Hey! Hey hey hey! Okay! Okay, Mr. Gu, please take a seat, please, please, please--"
Attack and defense switch!
This time it was Shen Miaomiao's turn to stand up from the boss chair awkwardly and give her seat to Gu Sheng.
"Why--"
Returning to his , Gu Sheng crossed his legs and pointed at Shen Miaomiao:
"Why are you still standing there? Can't you pour me a glass of water?"
"Oh oh oh! Sorry, Mr. Gu,"
Shen Miaomiao quickly refilled Gu Sheng's water, feeling extremely terrified:
"You are so handsome today that I was stunned for a moment. Please forgive me."
"Why--"
Gu Sheng waved his hand:
"It's work time now, you can watch it when you're done with work, dear."
As he spoke, he took Shen Miaomiao's hand and pulled it gently, then as Shen Miaomiao leaned over, he gave her a kiss as light as a dragonfly touching the water.
Chu Qingzhou, who witnessed everything: ...
I am speechless.
What else can I say?
If you really want me to speak my mind.
Well, I can only say that I can’t go through even one day of this crappy class.
real.
Tired.
Let the local dog have a rest too.
Please.
…
One month later!
Friday!
Eight o'clock in the evening!
Twitch platform, pew live broadcast room——
“Noooooooo—Jaaaaaaaack—!”
Following Pew's "cry of pain" that couldn't be more fake, his good friend Jacksep was drowned by an endless wave of monsters.
Pew, on the other hand, left the mysterious spaceship filled .
"Dog---Dong---West--!"
At the same time, the drowned Jack also got angry and uttered a voice of impotent rage:
"Who the hell told you to close the hatch in advance--!"
good!
The game that the two were broadcasting live was none other than the most popular "player-made map" in Golden Wind's classic old game "Left 4 Dead" - [Alien Undertide].
This picture is very popular now.
It is a perfect lower-level substitute for the $80 game "Endless Tides", and you can play it for only $0.5.
In addition, the compatibility of this MOD is simply amazing. From its release to now, which has been nearly two months, no player has reported that there is a MOD that it is incompatible with.
With its already exquisite production quality and the support of numerous other MODs, today's "Alien Tides" is far superior to the original "Endless Tides" and is extremely popular.
"Hahahahaha sorry sorry I really didn't mean to do that. I just accidentally pressed the wrong door closing button..."
In the live broadcast room, Pew explained his behavior of betraying his teammates and said he was sorry and would do it again next time.
However!
Just as the two were having a "friendly exchange" amid the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers!
Suddenly, an email from the sensor cabin popped up.
[You have a new email, please check it]
"Ward hair?"
The prompt that popped up suddenly made Pew stunned.
Yiyoux2, or almost all the somatosensory cabins in the world, have communication functions.
Whether it is making or receiving voice or video calls, sending chat messages, or receiving or sending emails, it can all be done.
When voice, video or chat email comes in, the somatosensory cabin will also prompt the user, similar to the pop-up reminder on the PC.
But the problem is——
I remember I have turned off the email notification ?
Pew even doubted himself for a moment.
After all, he is a broadcaster, and he usually sets these highly private notification messages to silent.
But why did this email suddenly pop up today?
With a doubtful attitude, Pew curiously clicked on the email prompt.
Sigh - salad -
As the sound of the envelope being torn open was heard, an email appeared in front of all the fans.
【Theme: The truth needs to be revealed】
