Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 423 Official Public Beta
The next morning, after a good night's sleep, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't wait to come to the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds company with his personal assistant Li Jiana. After all, today was the day when PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds was officially launched.
Although Brandon Green, the father of the battle royale, is in charge of the game, which is enough to ensure the authenticity of the game, and with the strong independent research and development capabilities of the pig factory to provide technical support, it should be better than the original.
What's more, Zhou Dongsheng also specially organized a massive anchor battle, which added fuel to the public beta of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds through the hot live broadcast on the live broadcast platform.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this should be foolproof. After all, the quality and playability of this game have been witnessed by players through live broadcasts.
In addition, it is a free public beta, so you won’t lose money by playing it casually. For the vast majority of players who like to get something for free, it is the right medicine for the disease, and there is no reason to refuse it.
However, for Zhou Dongsheng, as the saying goes, the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. In addition, Zhou Dongsheng is the only one who knows very well that the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" will become popular all over the world in the future.
Therefore, Zhou Dongsheng was still a little worried about whether "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", which had changed its original trajectory under the flapping of his butterfly wings, could "repeat the same mistakes".
Fortunately, today is the day of the official public beta. No matter what, the data will never lie. We will know the answer when the results are revealed.
Although this answer cannot directly determine the success or failure of the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", the subsequent operation and maintenance are the key factors that determine whether the game's popularity will last long.
But Zhou Dongsheng was still very much looking forward to the result, so he came to the company early in the morning. Today he planned to take charge in person and stay here without going anywhere else, just waiting for the result.
When Zhou Dongsheng arrived at the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds company, he found that not only was he, the godfather, looking forward to the result being revealed, but his biological father, Brandon Green, was also naturally not far behind.
When Brandon Green appeared in front of Zhou Dongsheng in an excited state, Zhou Dongsheng knew that the old man must have not slept all night. Looking at the excited atmosphere in the entire office, it was obvious that there was more than one person who had not slept.
"Oh my old buddy, didn't you sleep all night?" Zhou Dongsheng asked knowingly. Li Jiana, who was standing beside him, had a ruddy complexion and smiled as she translated truthfully.
As Zhou Dongsheng's partner, Li Jiana knew very well that Zhou Dongsheng was also very excited last night and had trouble falling asleep. In the end, he tossed and turned for a while before he finally got a good night's sleep.
"Yes, boss. In order to ensure today's public beta, our team conducted the final test overnight to ensure that everything goes well. We will definitely not let you down!" Brandon Green said excitedly, patting his chest.
Zhou Dongsheng patted Brandon Green on the shoulder and said with emotion: "I believe that the results of this game will be worthy of your hard work. As your boss, I will not treat you unfairly. The bonus will not be reduced by a penny!"
Brandon Green was shocked when he heard the words. He turned around and loudly conveyed the news to his colleagues in the office in English, which caused a thunderous cheer and even swept away the mental fatigue after staying up all night.
After all, compared to the normal state of life where you work hard but get nothing in return, the feeling of getting something in return for your hard work is really too wonderful.
"Boss, you have set an example by personally participating in the live broadcast for promotion. Naturally, we will not let you down. I watched the live broadcast last night, and the effect was simply amazing!" Brandon Green said excitedly.
It was precisely because of Zhou Dongsheng's stimulation that Brandon Green "acted like a young man at an old age". Of course, it might also be because he gradually got used to being surrounded by the pig factory employees.
"Oh? You actually watched the live broadcast?" Zhou Dongsheng asked in surprise.
"Of course, although my Chinese is limited, it does not prevent me from appreciating the boss's game operation. Even if I just look at the data feedback, I know that this live broadcast has received a good response."
"Furthermore, the number of game pre-orders and client downloads on our official website has skyrocketed, both exceeding one million..."
Speaking of this, Brandon Green was even more energetic. Both of them broke through one million, which is a performance with unlimited potential in the overseas market.
And now, relying solely on the Chinese game market, it has achieved this level of data performance. Naturally, this makes Brandon Green more confident in this game than ever before!
"In that case, let's wait and see." Zhou Dongsheng said with a smile.
On the other hand, at the Zhuchang Game Headquarters in Guangzhou, people are also making intensive preparations to prepare the corresponding game server group for the public beta of the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".
This kind of resource allocation issue is naturally an easy matter for Zhuchang, a major gaming company. In addition, with the personal instructions from Vice President Wang Yi, the people under him did not slack off at all.
Right from the start, the company prepared server resources for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds that were sufficient to accommodate millions of online gamers. In addition, the company has also always provided sufficient resources for publicity.
This kind of treatment cannot be obtained without outstanding performance even for the game projects within the pig factory. Wang Yi can be said to have done his best.
In addition to the relationship between Zhou Dongsheng and Ding Sanshi, there is also Vice President Wang Yi, who wants to see how this type of game is received in the domestic PC game market.
After all, the general environment is now leaning towards the mobile game market, and the decline of PC games has become a consensus in the game industry, and even major game companies such as Tenda and Zhuchang are no exception.
In addition to operating the original PC game projects, the two major game companies have chosen to develop the mobile game market as the main direction. If this is the case for large companies, many game manufacturers are naturally no exception.
Some people have even gone so far as to simply give up on PC-based games and choose to focus on mobile games. After all, compared to the time and cost required to develop PC-based games, the cost of developing mobile games is relatively lower, and it's also more profitable!
Moreover, even if you spend a lot of effort to develop a PC game, there may still be a situation where players do not buy into it. Naturally, not many people will do this kind of business where the investment and return are not proportional.
Of course, this is also the choice of consumers. The strong ability of mobile games to attract money has been significantly reflected in the ever-expanding mobile market. It is just around the corner to surpass the PC game market...
Despite this, for the vast majority of veteran players, PC games are the gaming direction they truly expect, but the current state of domestic PC games makes them angry.
Rather than saying that the PC game market is sluggish because of their lack of consumption, it is better to say that there are no excellent domestic PC games that can arouse their desire to consume!
Once a phenomenal domestic PC game appears in front of them, these old players will naturally make their own choice!
For Wang Yi, who is in charge of QQ Games, developing into the mobile game market is a general decision, and there is nothing wrong with it for the future development of QQ Games.
But from a personal perspective, as an old player, Wang Yi still has a glimmer of hope for the PC gaming market...
At two o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" announced its official free public beta, and the server on the Pig Factory side was opened, and the data fluctuated accordingly!
