MARVEL: GAME MAKER SYSTEM Chapter 98

Published at 15th of April 2023 05:51:54 AM

Fortnite's success was reaching levels no one had thought possible. Despite Minecraft being very popular, the amount of players playing it was only 100 million, which although it seems small compared to the total amount of people in the world, it was still a large amount in relation to other games, which where games most successful in the world had no more than 1 million people playing weekly.

But compared to the success of Fortnite, Minecraft was lagging far behind, as between trying and testing a $20 game or a free game, it was obvious which people would choose.

While Minecraft sales brought the game to over 100 million copies sold, Fortnite was approaching the incredible number of one billion players!

Alex was shocked as he looked at the data provided by the system.

[Fortnite]

[Total Fortnite Unique Players: 914,000,000]

That number alone was enough to make Alex's jaw drop. Considering the population of 7 billion people in the world, Fortnite reaching almost 1 billion people is considering that around 15% of people in the world are connected to the game, and considering the children and elderly who were possibly out of contact with the game initially, that number can go up to something like 1 in 4 people in the world decided to log into Fortnite to experience this!

By studying the data more, Alex was understanding more of these people's behavior.

[Online Players: 887,000,000]

[Players in Fortnite Battle Royale: 70,000,000]

[Players in Fortnite Oasis: 817,000,000]

The game had been released 2 hours ago, so even if the stores were interesting, those who entered Fortnite with the intention of trying out Battle Royale were already playing that mode, while those who entered the game just out of curiosity after seeing the Minecraft Hype, just got connected to Fortnite Oasis.

Seeing that the amount of players in Battle Royale was increasing, but at a somewhat slow rate, it was clear to Alex that the vast majority of Fortnite Oasis players would not even try Battle Royale mode and would just continue using Oasis mode .

Oasis was the name Alex had decided to use for the virtual world he was going to make, as well as for Ready Player One, the movie he was inspired by, the name of the virtual reality game is called Oasis, Alex felt that this was a very suitable and also decided to use that name.

For now this was just called Fortnite Oasis, as it was only connected to Fortnite, but Alex intends to turn this into just Oasis in the near future, using the GP he earns to finally turn this into a Hub that will increase sales every year. games.

Thinking of the GP he may have won, Alex looked at the stats and had a big smile on his face.

[Total Earned - $182,000,000] [GP: 914,000]

It's not like he never won 1 million GP, ​​but considering this was only earned on the first day, Alex was pretty excited.

He knew that to make a consumer lose his fear of starting to consume in the virtual store, it was necessary to make the consumer comfortable with that world and with time the player would feel the need to spend money and get something, with that door open the expenses would increase more and more.

Considering that the first day already generated almost 200 million dollars, Alex knew that in the future this revenue would increase more and more, reaching absolutely unimaginable amounts!

Alex was at almost 5 million GP, ​​but with the intent of making Oasis a standalone version with all the features he envisioned, he knew that wouldn't be enough for now.

So Alex bought something to eat from Shokugeki no Souma, leaned back in his chair and watched the sales numbers soar as if they were the most interesting movie he had ever seen in his life.

While Alex was enjoying life and enjoying the numbers rising on his account, people around the world were shocked by the technology of Fortnite.

Mainly ordinary people, who had never seen anything as interesting as this!

"Hey Sis, let's play Fortnite?!" A little teenage boy said excitedly as he looked at his sister with anticipation.

His sister, who was almost graduating from school, was at that moment with many books in front of her, sad to know that she would have to read all of them to get good grades.

She had been studying for at least 6 hours and felt it would be good to take a break from her studies and do something with her little brother.

"What is Fortnite, Pietro?" she asked confused.

Pietro looked at his sister and was even more confused. "Haven't you heard of Fortnite, Wand?"

"I should?" Wanda tilted her head in disbelief.

Looking at her and the books, Pietro understood that his sister was just focused on studying and hadn't even heard the news these past few days.

"Come on, it's a magical world where you can buy cheap clothes, eat delicious food for little money, even play games for free!" Pietro told the description of Fortnite by what he was seeing on Livestreams.

Wanda looked at him even more confused, with such a magical place appearing in the city, how had she never heard of it? "Are you sure this isn't a scam?"

Pietro just shook his head very quickly and explained. "It's not something physical, but it's a virtual world!"

Wanda soon imagined what Pietro was talking about, that was a video game!

"Pietro, I don't like video games very much, how about we do something else?" She said a little disappointed.

Pietro just shook his head and pulled her arm towards his room, he gave up explaining and decided to show her the livestream, as that would be much simpler.

This same scene was happening in many places around the world, whether younger brothers calling older brothers, sons calling their fathers to play, even daughters calling their mothers to try it, something that rarely happened before.

Around the world, many influential people were surrounded by lawyers and psychologists as they planned the best way to leverage this Fortnite for business or political benefit.

Mainly in the big clothing brands, companies like Gucci, Channel, CK, among many others, were having emergency meetings to decide how they were going to handle Fortnite, even thinking about how they could split the profits with Mojang if they were going to open a virtual branch in the game!

Not only was this being discussed in clothing stores, but also in major automotive brands, brands such as BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Porsche, Pagani, Ferrari, after seeing NFS dealerships receiving the attention of millions of people around the world, they saw that this would be a mighty showroom far better than the car conventions they held year-round!

While the events they held annually hardly reached the mark of 5 million people in total, due to the number of people visiting Concepcionaria NFS they already saw their annual results tripling after that!

The world was already changing, and most felt the need to change with it, those who didn't want to change were doomed to become history.
