The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games Chapter 222

Chapter 222 220.There is always something wrong

The evaluations given by the media this time are quite high:

[Classic continued: Bomi Frozen Throne conference was a complete success]

【Who said that Bomi could not do war3 well after leaving Blizzard? 】

【A press conference, let the voice of doubt disappear】

【Bomi: the pride of Chinese people】

【Bomi: My war3 is the best Warcraft】

After the press conference of Bomi, the video about the press conference went viral on the Internet.

"Wow, I feel that Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne made by Bomi this time is not as bad as I imagined?"

"Yes, judging from the demo video, it's still very resistant to fights. This wave of Bomi has given the Chinese a lot of face."

"Yes, if there is any problem, there are so many media reporters and professional players from Bangzi Country. They will definitely find out the first time. I think the reports are all saying good things about Bomi."

"Bomi Niu Bian! This time it is very impressive, I have stabilized the place, and hope that the real game experience will be as good as at the press conference."

"I hope so, but don't make any false propaganda when the time comes. The demonstration is done well, and it turns into a pile of **** after playing."

The time is approaching August. In mid-July, Bomi's "Warcraft 3: Frozen Throne" CDs were shipped one after another.

When the major distributors and Bomi took the goods, they always felt something was not right, the weirdness was weird, and the weirdness was a little weird.

In short, it's very strange.

Because this time the Frozen Throne, the official wholesale price to distributors is 6 yuan.

Of course, the price is different around the world, for example, in the United States, it is $6.

The monthly release is 1,000 yen.

Generally speaking, it is generally much lower than the normal market price, and even the normal wholesale price is much higher than what Bomi gives.

Distributors have never taken the goods at such a low price.

So after repeated confirmations on the phone many times, they found that Bomi said not "60" but "6", they all doubted life.

"It's really weird."

A Zhe, the owner of a distributor in the Imperial Capital, said, "I have never gotten such a cheap wholesale price. Is Bomi a conscience discovery this time? But that's not right. The cost of a CD-ROM is 2 yuan. Does the Mi team not calculate labor and development costs?

How could it be so cheap? "

Strange!

Too weird.

Other distributors got it probably like this:

"Bomi is too strange this time, is Boss Cao really a clear stream in the game industry?"

"Doing games just for love?"

"Yeah... I always feel uneasy in my conscience... I have never gotten the goods at such a low price. I don't know whether I want to buy it or not."

"But if you look at it, it is clearly the Frozen Throne. Warcraft is also an old classic game. Countless players all over the world are looking forward to this game.

Is it possible to sell so cheap all at once? "

The official guide price this time is 38 yuan.

In the past, most of the domestic stand-alone game prices were around 60 yuan.

The wholesale price given by Bomi before is also 30 yuan. In fact, the retailer's profit is 30 yuan, and occasionally when it is increased to 68, it can make a little more.

This time, Bomi directly gave them a wholesale price of 6 yuan. Although the guide price of 38 seems to be very cheap, the retailer's profit is not small, even more than before.

However, in this case, it is equivalent to the official not making money, all of which are used to subsidize the players.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the conscience of the game.

So the distributors were a little less confident when they got it.

"Does it mean that Bomi was a fake shot this time? In fact, after they got the copyright of Warcraft, the content was developed very badly, so they couldn't make it through the conscience, so they deliberately lowered the price?"

"It's not impossible that this is possible."

Azhe communicated with his colleagues, and the more he thought about it, the more terrible he became.

For safety, he unpacked a package by himself and put it into the computer for an interview.

After playing for more than an hour, Azhe became more confused.

There is no solution!

In addition to binding one more game platform-

The content of the game is completely normal, and there are no bugs. The content of the campaign and the battle are exactly the same as those demonstrated by Boss Cao at the press conference. Even Zhe's own experience is better than watching the press conference.

Although he lost to the computer, Azhe was not depressed at all.

Then why is Bomi's guide price for such a good work only sold for 38 yuan?

And why did Bomi give it to distributors at such a low price of 6 yuan?

Can't figure it out, really can't figure it out.

But you can't make this money just because the other party gives a lot of room for concession, which looks a little weird.

As merchants, distributors still pre-ordered the goods they need from Bomi, but to be on the safe side, the order quantity was not that large in the first week.

Azhe bought 10,000 copies this time, and spent a total of 60,000 yuan. For him, it should be considered within the tolerance range, and even if it is fully compensated, it will not feel distressed.

If the wind is not in the right direction by then, it's a big deal not to keep buying with Bomi.

In fact, Bomi's development cost this time is indeed very small, because when Blizzard delivered it, it was basically close to 100%.

Except for the adjustment of the value and the docking of the game platform, other costs are negligible.

The entire development team of the Frozen Throne, which adds up to only 10 people.

But from another perspective, the cost of this wave of the Frozen Throne is also terribly high. After all, Cao Yang got the copyright from Vivendi, but paid a price of 100 million US dollars.

is only sold at such a low price because Cao Yang has greater ambitions this time!

Soon, the retailers knew why Bomi gave them such a cheap price.

On this day of August 1, Bomi's new game "Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne" is on sale worldwide.

Local time starts at 10 am.

Because of the fame earned by Blizzard before, on the day of the release of "Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne", the software store was still full of lines.

As soon as the shop opened, players flocked to it.

Zhang Zhuoxi rushed into the software store, went straight to the new goods area, picked up an Frozen Throne from the shelf, and hurried to the checkout counter.

"Hello, the total is 38 yuan." The young lady at the cash register smiled politely.

Huh?

Zhang Zhuoxi gave a whisper.

How can it be so cheap?

You should know that the previous Bomi games are basically priced at around 60 yuan, except for the "King of Glory: Prequel".

That time really abused the players to death.

Although the plot can be a god, the players are still dissatisfied with the ending, and many players even sent blades to Bomi.

Zhang Zhuoxi glanced down and found that it was really what the lady cashier said, only for 38 yuan.

I really saw a ghost.

After paying the bill, Zhang Zhuoxi felt that something was not right on the way back home with the box of Frozen Throne.

This feeling becomes stronger as he goes home longer.

No way?

Bomi is a repeat of the old trick this time?

Because the game is really too cruel, is it selling at such a low price?

But, it's not right.

As we all know, war3 is a battle game. It doesn't matter whether there is a battle or not. The battle is for novices to familiarize themselves with the plot and operation.

A veteran like Zhang Zhuoxi doesn't need it at all.

All he needs is battle experience.

Could it be...

Zhang Zhuoxi's heart shook a bit. Could it be that Bomi really didn't have the ability to make a competitive game like war3, so he broke it?

Otherwise, why would they only sell for such a small amount of money?

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Zhuoxi quickened his pace.

He needs to go home to check whether his judgment is fighting, and whether there is any problem with the game.

After returning home, Zhang Zhuoxi inserted the CD into the computer.

At this moment, a prompt pops up during the installation:

[This game needs to be bound to the Aier game platform, please confirm whether you need to continue the installation]

Um?

Zhang Zhuoxi frowned, what the **** is the gaming platform?

But he has no better choice, click Yes.

The progress bar of game installation began to rise.

100%

Installed.

There are two more icons on the desktop.

One is the Alsace icon of Warcraft 3: Frozen Ten Thousands, and the other is the icon of the El game platform.

Sliding the mouse and hesitating, Zhang Zhuoxi opened the Frozen Throne.

After a few seconds, the Aier game platform starts up first.

"Why is this trouble?" Zhang Zhuoxi frowned.

Then the Ice Throne also activated, filling the entire screen.

Not so much, Zhang Zhuoxi first used the LAN mode to play a simple computer.

Twenty minutes later, Zhang Zhuoxi succeeded in blasting the opponent's night elf home with a flying dragon, and won the final victory.

"Um?"

Zhang Zhuoxi hesitated, as if there was nothing wrong with it, everything was normal, and the feel of this work was even better than before.

It's like being specially tuned by a very powerful person.

"Awesome, Bomi is so conscientious this time?"

Not only has the ability to adjust war3, but also sells it to us at such a cheap price.

is really the conscience of the industry!

"Oh, I understand." Zhang Zhuoxi showed a suddenly realized expression.

The wave of Bomi should hope to introduce more war3 players in a profitable way. After all, this is a competitive game. If there are too few people, the competition cannot be held.

What a conscience.

Zhang Zhuoxi smiled, finally letting go of the big rock in his heart.

However, when he retired from the Throne of Ice and looked back on the Ile game platform, Zhang Zhuoxi felt that his whole person was not good.

Because this game platform clearly shows that you can purchase "Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne" directly from the Internet as long as you connect to the Internet.

And the selling price only needs: 36 yuan!

Fuck it, it's 2 yuan cheaper than the price in the software store!

Soon the fact that the Frozen Throne was bound to the El game platform went crazy, including players who didn't know the Warcraft game.

As if something terrible happened overnight.

"Fuck, it's terrible, isn't it? My whole person is not good. It turns out that I can buy and download on the Aier game platform, which only costs 36 yuan, which is 2 yuan cheaper than when I go to the software store.

I feel like I'm a fool, why should I go to the physical store to buy it? "

"Do you think the network you downloaded doesn't cost money? This game is 1.1G, and it took several hours to download it all."

"Anyway, I have to be connected to the Internet to play this game in the future, and I feel that it is not bad."

"Huh? Can you download the game directly from the Internet? Really? I was planning to go to the store to buy a CD."

"Really, it depends on your own choice. If you have a good network at home, you can choose to download it from the Ile platform. If the network is not good, it may be faster to buy it at a physical store, which is only 2 yuan."

For foreign players, the reaction is similar.

The price of general game software in the United States is about US$60. This time, Bomi's selling price to retailers is US$38. The game is bound to the AIR game platform.

If it is downloaded from the AIR game platform, it can be 2 dollars cheaper.

Yes, the main purpose of Bomi's launch of the Ice Throne this time is not to make money, but to make money is second, and the most important thing is to build the Aier game platform.

Because the Frozen Throne is deeply bound to the Aier game platform, when you purchase the CD-ROM of the Frozen Throne, the Aier game platform will be automatically installed after the installation is completed.

If you uninstall the Aier gaming platform, the Frozen Throne will not start.

On the Aier game platform, you can purchase any electronic version of Warcraft in the past, and you can download it from the Internet without using a CD.

Download to local and run, you can play the game without inserting the disc.

In addition, Bomi also launched a bundle on the Aier game platform:

If you buy

"Warcraft: Humans and Orcs"

"Warcraft 2: Kuroshio"

"Warcraft 2: The Dark Portal"

"Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos"

"Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne", it only needs to add up to a total of only 60 yuan.

If it is a player who has already purchased "The Frozen Throne", the purchase cost will be deducted from the bundle. In other words, if you purchase the Frozen Throne, then subtract 36 yuan, and you only need 24 yuan. Can get all Warcraft series products.

Together, there is a total installation package size of 5.1 G.

And any one of them can be purchased separately for more than 40 yuan.

Calculating the discount, it's really pretty hard.

"Fuck! Why? I feel more and more that I bought that CD as a stupid. Is the El game platform so easy to use? Why didn't I download the El game platform in the early days?"

"But, it's not too late to buy now. 2 yuan is considered to be a purchase of the Ile game platform."

"I used to be in the same mood as you guys. I felt that Bomi had pushed Lao Tzu a game platform of this kind of jerk. I wasted 2 yuan in vain.

But I think this game platform is still very good.

Do the math, if you go directly to the software store to buy it, each "Warcraft" will cost about 60 yuan, 5 pieces add up to almost 300 yuan, and the bundle together only costs 60 yuan. This is really a bargain. "

"Um...it looks like this, but why should I buy the past version?"

"Hahaha, if you don't like playing the previous version of Warcraft, you can also play other things, such as playing mahjong."

"Gan, I don't want to play mahjong. But I think it's very convenient to download King of Glory directly from it."

Yes, this time, Bomi has simply lost money. All the single-player games previously sold by Bomi have been made into electronic versions for players to download.

In addition to the Warcraft series, games of the Glory of the Kings series are also in it.

In order to allow Omi Nations to experience the convenience brought by the AIR game platform, Bomi has processed the past versions of the King of Glory in multiple languages in the past six months and translated them into Chinese, English, Japanese, and stick versions.

Except for the "Shan Hai Jing" is not in it.

So players can not only download the new game "Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne" released by Bomi through the Ile game platform, but also can purchase the games of the King of Glory series through the Ile game platform.

It's just that compared to the Warcraft series, there are no discounts on King-related games.

This is also to highlight the particularity of Warcraft this time.

The future glory of the king can be discounted, but this time it has to be used as a reference to let players know the effect of the discount.

Otherwise, if all games are discounted, it will be no different from no discount.

When seeing the King of Glory series, players have a little balance in their hearts.

"Fuck it, it's been a long time. It turned out that this time the Frozen Throne was on sale, so the platform launched a promotion. Maybe after the discount is over, the price of the Warcraft series will rise back."

"Really? Thinking about it this way, I feel that I don't have that loss to buy physical software."

For Omi players, "Glory of the King" is their biggest surprise.

"Wow, what is this? GloryofKings, it looks so fun."

"At first, I thought I bought a Frozen Throne disk, but when I came back, I found out that I had bought a game warehouse."

"Is this platform a bit like steam?"

"I feel better than steam, the network transmission is very stable, and online games are also very smooth."

This time, Bomi really has lost money. Many servers have been built in Omi countries, and the network condition is of course very good.

Plus Bomi has been doing online games for so long, the optimization in this area is definitely the world's leading.

"I have any regrets, why the AIR game platform integrates all the games of Bomi, but only does not have the classics of mountains and seas? Do you look down on us American players, afraid that we can't understand it?"

"Damn it, hate it! I want to complain to Bomi for discrimination!"

"I feel that Bomi is in the next big chess game this time. He looks like he is selling games, but in fact he is not selling games, but selling game platforms."
