Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 498: Backlash of reputation?
The breaking news that the accessories trading system, which has been carefully polished for a long time with the participation of Zhuchang Games, is about to be opened, was spread along with the fermentation of this heat.
The tradable attributes of accessories are actually marked in the unboxing system, including a seven-day protection period prohibiting trading, but most game players do not pay attention to it.
After QQ Games and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds officially announced the news to the public, many game studios and middlemen who smelled business opportunities immediately set their sights on this game.
Ordinary players play games for fun, and for them, games are just a tool to make money. As long as there is a profitable game, they will be active there.
As the saying goes, where there is demand, there is a market, and games are no exception!
With the credit endorsement of Zhuchang Games, the economic attributes of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" accessories are undoubtedly greatly guaranteed.
After all, Zhuchang Games has sufficient experience in this regard. The Treasure Pavilion platform it tailored for "Fantasy Westward Journey" has directly injected new vitality into this old game.
Especially when it comes to the account buying and selling that other games are very secretive about, QQ Games directly chooses to be open and honest, fully guaranteeing the freedom of players to trade. It is also the attitude of official support that has raised the economic attributes of this game to several levels.
It even evolved directly from a game into a financial product...
Seeing that the game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is becoming more and more popular than ever before, it has the potential to become another phenomenal game in the PC game market.
Even Wang Yi, vice president of Zhuchang Games, had to re-evaluate the potential of this game, and at the same time he had to sigh at the keen vision of the big boss Ding Sanshi.
Wang Yi still remembers Ding Sanshi's calm words: "Give young people more opportunities. Maybe they will create some surprises that we can't imagine..."
Now it has come true, and the value of the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is no longer the same as it was before.
After all, this is a game that even Tenda is eager to get. As to whether it can challenge Tenda's dominant position in PC games, it remains to be seen.
After all, lifespan is also one of the most important factors in measuring a popular game. If it is just a short-lived phenomenal game, its value will be greatly reduced.
However, based on the current performance of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, it is already worth it for Zhuchang Games to further increase its investment, even if it only holds a 10% stake.
No matter what, this share is much higher than the agency rights of the game.
Therefore, Wang Yi considered opening the Treasure Pavilion platform directly to the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds". Compared with building a new trading platform, the Treasure Pavilion platform, which has been in operation for six years, is undoubtedly a more mature choice...
However, the Treasure Pavilion is the trump card in the hand of Zhuchang Game after all. Wang Yi was a little unsure, so he specially asked Ding Sanshi for instructions.
The popularity of the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" really exceeded Ding Sanshi's expectations.
After all, for Ding Sanshi, it was simply out of admiration for the young man Zhou Dongsheng that he provided support within his ability.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Dongsheng gave him such a big surprise and even gave him a little relief.
That’s right, being able to defeat Tengda is really a relief for this old guy Ding Sanshi.
And since he had already chosen to support the young man Zhou Dongsheng, and it had brought him unimaginable returns, Ding Sanshi was naturally not stingy.
He waved his hand and said generously: "It's confirmed. Just treat it as the icing on the cake. Let's wait and see for a while and let the market test the potential of this game model..."
Wang Yi immediately understood what he meant. "Okay, Mr. Ding, in fact, someone in the company has already proposed to copy this gameplay to the mobile game platform..."
"Okay, as long as you know what's going on." After saying that, Ding Sanshi hung up the phone.
With Ding Sanshi's nod, adding the "PUBG" accessories trading to the Treasure Pavilion platform was a natural and easy thing to do.
At the same time, the topic of "the first golden 98K in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" has also become increasingly popular due to the booming popularity of the game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, attracting the attention and participation of a large number of players.
Especially under the leadership of Baboon, who is one of the most popular live broadcast platforms, the value of this "first golden 98K sword in the entire server" that has not yet been released has been maximized.
That’s right, even though the server has been open for several days, and the number of real-time online players has exceeded 1.5 million, the number of registered players has exceeded tens of millions.
Even though only a small number of players choose to pay for unpacking boxes, it is still very easy to increase the cash flow of PUBG by tens of millions.
For PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, which has been in a state of pure expenditure for more than half a year, this is undoubtedly a blessing in disguise. It also greatly boosted the confidence of all colleagues in the company.
After all, only profitable projects can provide the greatest guarantee for their jobs, and everything else is empty talk.
However, with so many people opening the boxes, the reputation of the first "Golden 98K" became increasingly famous, but there was no trace of it at all.
Perhaps the most depressed one is the Curly-haired Baboon, who was the first to make the bold statement and started this wave of rhythm that swept across the live streaming platform.
Over the past few days, live streaming of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and unboxing have become one of his regular daily live broadcast programs.
Especially when I went back to live stream League of Legends, I found that both the popularity and the attention had obviously dropped a lot, and even the comments were full of viewers urging me to live stream PUBG...
Under such popular expectations, Curly Baboon, whose live broadcast time of the two games was originally roughly 50-50, had to make a choice that followed his heart.
After all, the audience loves to watch it, especially when he boasted that he must own the "first golden 98K" of the Shark platform, he naturally needs to put his promise into practice.
However, after several days and thousands of boxes, my hands and face were as black. I got more than a dozen rare red skins, but I didn't see even a shadow of the golden 98K.
Not only Baboon, but even other anchors didn't open it. After all, if they had opened it, they would have shown it off long ago.
"I'm Li Ma, this golden 98K is harder to draw than the damn Dragon Blind. Could it be that it has been locked by the official?" Even Baboon, who has a personal relationship with Zhou Dongsheng, raised this question in the live broadcast room.
"It's too dark. I can't even get a gold 98K after spending tens of thousands of dollars. This is too ugly..."
"Disgusting. I thought it was a good domestic game, but I didn't expect it to be so disgusting..."
Barrages and rumors like these began to spread. As the saying goes, the first tree to stick its head out gets shot. Under the popularity of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds in recent days, there have already been undercurrents.
As the saying goes, competitors are enemies. If there is an opportunity to add insult to injury, there will always be someone willing to step on it...
Even if they are not in the same industry, many people would not refuse the opportunity to take advantage of the popularity of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.
Therefore, this wave of public opinion started from the live broadcast platform and quickly spread with the help of other platforms, naturally attracting the attention of the game officials.
Brandon Green couldn't help but ask his men to check the game mechanism and unboxing system again and again, and even the technical staff from the pig factory got involved in the research.
“There’s no problem. The probability of getting paid out is a bit low, but it’s only 0.26%. Logically, it should have come out long ago. Could there be some bug?” Brandon Green was puzzled.
But I couldn't help but get nervous. If such a serious BUG is not handled properly, it might anger many paying players and cause a backlash in reputation...
This kind of situation will inevitably cause great damage to any game. After all... the paying player group is the main force supporting a free game.
