Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 505 He Understands Players Too Well
Places such as Weibo, Gamersky, and 17173, which are home to a large number of gamers, have all had heated discussions about the public probability of unboxing in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.
"If you do the math, a gold 98K can be sold for 10,000 yuan, and you can get one for an average of 3,000 to 4,000 yuan, isn't that a sure win?"
"baboon:?"
“Baboon: I thought so too, and spent tens of thousands of dollars… and ended up having to spend another ten thousand to buy this skin!”
"The difference between the European emperor and the African emperor is greater than the difference between humans and dogs!"
"Stop cursing, stop cursing. If given a choice, who would want to be a non-African?"
"If everyone is a European emperor, then there will be no European emperors in the world."
"You have finally figured out the theory of relativity!"
There are countless jokes and discussions like this, whether it is the bold operation of publicly disclosing the chance of unboxing, or the fact that Baboon spent 10,000 yuan to buy a gold 98K skin.
For the player community, these are all topics , and the popularity created by these topics is precisely the mass base that a popular game must have.
The so-called phenomenal hit games are just like this, igniting the sparks of players step by step, and eventually forming a prairie fire.
At present, it seems that the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is obviously being pushed onto this path step by step by Zhou Dongsheng.
Moreover, when the chance of opening a box is made public and presented to the players, it does not extinguish the players' desire to consume.
Instead, it gives players a clear goal, which creates a kind of hope that they shouldn't have.
If the investment in something is a bottomless pit, most people will think twice and consider whether to do it or not.
However, once the probability is quantified and placed in front of the players, it will naturally arouse the desire for challenge among many players!
After all, the most indispensable group of players are challengers who try to tackle various events with extremely low probability.
Even if this matter is not linked to interests and is purely a matter of glory between players, there will still be countless players who are happy to take on the challenge.
Not to mention, this matter is linked to interests, so the temptation will undoubtedly increase exponentially.
Even if everyone knows that the first golden 98k is worth ten thousand, the second one will definitely not be that price.
After all, market prices are determined by supply and demand. If demand exceeds supply, the product will be in short supply. Once supply exceeds demand, prices will naturally fall.
However, there is always a gradual game process before that.
For players, enjoying the fun of the game itself means playing games with the game mechanics and taking pride in the sense of accomplishment generated by completing various low-probability events.
As long as the probability is not zero, no matter how small the probability is, there will obviously be a possibility!
In theory, if you put a monkey in front of a typewriter long enough, it might be possible to type out the complete works of Shakespeare.
Of course, this possibility is almost negligible. In comparison, the probability of 0.26% does not seem that low in the eyes of most players.
After all, there is already a negative example like the baboon. It can't be that I am more unlucky than him, a non-African, right?
What's more, there is Mo Zi, a positive example of a man who hit the target with one shot.
Even if you cannot become the emperor of Europe, it is enough to prove that you are of European descent. Now is the time to leave Africa and join Europe!
As the number of players discussing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds online continues to grow, some players are gradually starting to get excited.
A box is only 10 yuan, try your best and the bicycle will become a motorcycle, 10 yuan can't buy you a loss or a scam...
If it is finally drawn, it can be sold for at least 7,000 or 8,000 yuan even if not 10,000 yuan. The most important thing is, if you really win it, it will undoubtedly be a great source of bragging rights.
With the popularity of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, a small number of players have already posted their victory screenshots of "Good luck, chicken dinner tonight" on social platforms such as WeChat Moments and Weibo!
Given how difficult it is to win the game, it often takes most players more than a week to win it for the first time when they come into contact with this game.
In this regard, the human-computer game after the mobile game is undoubtedly a very user-friendly design, giving players an unparalleled gaming experience right from the start.
But for PC games, players’ chance of winning is much lower than the chance of getting a golden 98k out of a box.
But so what? Can the screenshots of playing PUBG be as valuable as the ones that show you drawing the golden 98k?
Obviously, for some players whose gaming skills are not so sharp, it seems that a fork in the road, like a job change, has appeared in front of them .
Do you want to choose to hone your skills to become a master of chicken, or do you want to become the European emperor that everyone pays attention to?
If you lack skills, you can make up for it by spending money. This is the way of European players.
As the popularity grew, more and more players began to try opening boxes, including players who had previously focused on playing games.
Even some determined freeloaders are a little hesitant and have the urge to give it a try.
This is reflected in the data as an unusual surge.
When the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds company announced the probability of unboxing, Brandon Green was undoubtedly nervous.
Although I believed the boss's lies, based on my professional experience as a game planner, I still felt that exchanging sincerity for players' sincerity... was not very reliable.
Brandon Green couldn't say exactly what was unreliable, he could only say that as a game planner, setting traps for players had already become a professional habit.
Moreover, digging a pit is a technical job. If it is dug well, even if the player falls into the pit, he will be happy to do it.
This is the first time that the company has been open and honest with players. By publishing the probability of unboxing, isn't it just asking players for money with a clear conscience?
However, after Brandon Green was worried for a day, the relevant data of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" came out.
The subordinate knocked on Brandon Green's office door hurriedly and pushed the door open impatiently, "Boss, good news!"
Having said that, he couldn't wait to hand the data to Brandon Green.
The old man took it and flipped through it, his eyes widened as if he saw some incredible result.
"Ward Law! What's going on? The payment data didn't drop, but increased by 13%. This is incredible."
Brandon Green couldn't help but blurt out.
"Yes, Boss. The effect of announcing the probability of opening a box is unexpectedly good. It has stimulated the players' desire to spend. And this is just the beginning!"
"I think we should take this opportunity to launch our trading platform, strike while the iron is hot, and use this wave of traffic to revitalize our trading platform..."
The subordinate was delighted and immediately offered suggestions and expressed his ideas.
Brandon Green couldn't help but sigh, "The boss really understands players!"
This time Brandon Green was really convinced. Facing his subordinates' proposal, Brandon Green felt that now was a good time.
But he couldn't help but mutter: "This, I have to ask the boss..."
At this time, outside Zhou Dongsheng's office, Zhou Xing'er, who looked a little embarrassed, stood at the door and knocked on Zhou Dongsheng's door.
"Come in!"
