My rebirth is different

Chapter 768 Still Too One-sided
"Our legend, can we adopt this permanent free model?" Mr. Chen blurted out.

This sentence startled the Vice President of Operations, and quickly stopped him: "Mr. Chen! Mr. Chen calm down! Our legend has been operating on a charging model for several years. If we change to a free model now, let's not talk about whether we can make money or not." Once we get the money, even the old players can scold us to collapse."

What he said is also true, Legend is an old game, and many players have invested a lot of money and time in it in recent years.

If you suddenly change to the free mode, old players will definitely feel unbalanced.

Why did you charge by time when I used to play, and earned me so much money in a few years.

Now in order to compete with other games for players, start doing free?Not charged by the time?

I can go to Nima!
Of course, these players will not consider that if they adopt the free model, they will not have to spend money to buy point cards in the future.

They only look for one thing, that is, they would rather not take advantage of themselves than let others take advantage of them!

It's best for everyone to die together!

Don't feel incredible, in fact, many players are like this, and there have been many similar cases.

Mr. Chen was right when he thought about it. He was too anxious. Legend has always been able to make stable profits, and he made a lot of money.

Of course, you can't change the charging model casually. If you don't do it well, it's tantamount to cutting off the company's cash cow, which is too unwise.

but……

In the future, I will represent new games, but I can learn from Facebook games.

Mr. Chen also has a lot of research on the Internet, and he knows that free is definitely very attractive to netizens!
The CSOL of the Facebook game is absolutely stable this time...

………………

Whether CSOL is stable or not is not yet known, because the game has not been launched yet.

Even if it is online, it is still uncertain how much money you can make by selling items such as skin boxes in the future.

But one thing that can be said is that the permanent free mode of the Facebook game this time has definitely attracted everyone's attention.

On the Internet, everyone who plays games is discussing this matter.

Even people who have never played online games before can't help but participate in this discussion.

Because everyone is curious, does Facebook Games really want to provide an online game for everyone to play for free?

What are they planning?

"Isn't today April Fool's Day? What's going on with the Facebook game this time?"

"Is it because World of Warcraft is so lucrative that Facebook Game feels embarrassed, so it provides a free game for everyone to play?"

"Haha, it's really possible. Facebook Games is still a very conscientious company. World of Warcraft is too popular. They make money and make money."

"Don't think about it too much. I think it's true that it's free, but it's definitely impossible if you don't spend a penny. But the Facebook game should be doing tricks this time, and everyone will pay for it willingly."

"I think the above is right. Everyone read the announcement carefully. It only said that the game itself and the duration of the game are free. Have you forgotten that this game has a lot of skins? Referring to last year's WCG bonus box, I feel that they will pass Sell ​​boxes to make money! But it doesn't matter, it depends on whether you are willing to pay for it, if you don't want to buy it, you don't have to spend a penny."

Some netizens have already guessed the truth of the matter, but he still looks at the problem too one-sidedly!

He thought he could control himself without spending money, but reality would teach him to be a man.Many gamers, when playing a certain free game, think that they can control themselves without spending money.But when I put in more time and energy, looking at the fancy clothes and gun skins of other players around me, I always feel like a dwarf.

As long as you don't hold back once and take the first step of krypton gold, it will be completely out of control later...

Effie and the others dare to launch a permanent free model, of course they have considered all factors. It is not an exaggeration to say that this model has been specially consulted by experts in consumer psychology!
Aiming at the weakness of human nature, a "big pit" has been designed long ago, just waiting for you to jump into it.

Of course, this permanent free model has just appeared. At the beginning, there may indeed be many consumers who can resist the temptation and hold back from consumption.

But it doesn't matter, Effie and the others didn't expect that CSOL will be like World of Warcraft, and they can make a lot of money when they go online.

The two game modes are different. World of Warcraft is based on a billing system, and there are as many players as there are incomes. However, the disadvantage of this mode is that the threshold is relatively high, and many players may not be willing to spend money to play.

And the threshold of CSOL is too low, it can even be said that there is no threshold, as long as you want to play, as long as you have a computer, or you go to an Internet cafe to open a machine, you can play immediately.And it doesn't matter how long you play, you won't be charged.

Therefore, the number of players in World of Warcraft has a ceiling. It is estimated that the number of players in China cannot exceed 5000 million, and even [-] million is a big hurdle.

There is no upper limit for CSOL. All CS players will switch to this game. With some new players, you can call out the phrase "the dream of [-] million mice" again!
At the beginning of CSOL's launch, the most important thing is to increase the number of players and expand the market. As long as the original CS players can be attracted, even players who have never played FPS before, the number of players reaches an exaggerated number. , even if you don't want to make money later, it will be difficult!

…………

When Yu Wenfei found out about the "perpetual free" Facebook game, he couldn't help being stunned for a long time.

If he remembered correctly, this thing should have been produced by Giant Games two or three years later. The permanent free of "Journey" has officially subverted the charging model of domestic online games.However, the money earned from the game "Zhengtu" is definitely no less than any paid game.

That is to say, since then, the domestic game industry has gone astray, and various scam games under the name of free have emerged one after another, and the entire game industry has begun to suck!

Everyone's thoughts, energy and funds are all put on the promotion of the game, not the quality of the game itself.

But now, the "permanently free" model was actually first launched by its own Facebook game...

The world is really wonderful.

Effie and the others did not discuss this with Yu Wenfei in advance, because there is no need to discuss such a small matter in front of Yu Wenfei.

For this kind of permanent free routine, Yu Wenfei can be said to understand better than anyone else, because in the future, when mobile games are popular, the routine of cheating krypton can surpass the current game manufacturer Jiutiaojie.

Of course, he also understands that if it is really about making money, CSOL can indeed earn more money by adopting the permanent free model, and Effie is not wrong.

but……

It's not a good idea to start the "free mode" of the game industry by my own company...

But it doesn't matter, in fact, for a competitive game like CSOL, it is absolutely appropriate to use the free mode.Because this kind of game still depends on your personal skills. As long as you have good skills, you can get an excellent game experience without spending a penny.

No matter how rich you are, with out-of-print sky-high skins all over your body, you can only have a cool start for a few seconds. After meeting the "enemy", you will still be shot down by others.

Generally speaking, the impact on the player's game experience is not great.

If it's a role-playing game and it's free-to-play, it's a mess.

Especially for some games, under the guise of discount and free, the game store sells items that can affect the balance of the game. That is the real "black-hearted game manufacturer", and that kind of model is the real "cheat".

Because if you play that kind of game, if you really don’t spend a penny, you can only be stepped on and rubbed by krypton gold players. It is to force you to keep krypton gold in order to keep up with the combat power level of the large army.

Otherwise, the level and combat power will be much behind everyone, so why are you playing.

One thing Effie has done better is that the two online games of Facebook Games, including World of Warcraft and CSOL, charge krypton gold for things that do not affect the balance of the game.

In World of Warcraft, all you get when you open the box are cool costumes and mounts, without adding any combat power value.All things that can affect combat power can only be obtained in game dungeons and spawning monsters, which is relatively fair.

As for CSOL, this game only depends on your marksmanship, no matter how expensive your skin is, it will not make your marksmanship more accurate, nor will your blood be even a little bit more than others!
Moreover, in terms of the most basic game quality, the two games World of Warcraft and CSOL are definitely well-made games, and no one dares to hack them with conscience.

Therefore, it is conceivable that even if some players want to criticize Facebook Games in the future, it will not have much impact on the reputation of Facebook Games. In essence, this is a game company with a conscience...

…………

The impact of CSOL's announcement of adopting the permanent free model is greater than Yu Wenfei imagined.

Because when he went online to World of Warcraft in the afternoon, Ah Jiu talked about it with him.

"Uncle, Uncle, will you go to play CSOL? Will you stop playing World of Warcraft?"

"Ah? Maybe I play CSOL once in a while, and I still play World of Warcraft normally. Why do you ask?" Yu Wenfei asked in surprise.

"I saw that there are many male players discussing in the official World of Warcraft forum. Many players think that it is an online game, and CSOL is also very fun. Why is that game free, but World of Warcraft costs so much every month? That’s a lot of money. That’s why everyone feels it’s a bit unfair, and I’ve seen quite a few people say that they want to form a team and retire to play CSOL.” Ah Jiu replied.

Yu Wenfei smiled slightly, not worried at all, any game cannot avoid the loss of players, the difference is just the amount.

　Thanks to "Red Leaf Snow" for the reward.
