Is it not a galgame?

Carnival, the scene is an endless carnival.

Everyone at the scene stood up and chanted Qing Zhiyuan's name, and also chanted Pokeni's name.

At this moment, P Club is the god in the minds of players.

This scene reminds people of the phrase 3 that Ken Kutaragi shouted when the PS was first unveiled at the E299 electronics show a few years ago.
If PS defines what is cost-effectiveness and what is a highly anticipated game console.

So at this moment pokeni redefined the game itself.

It turns out that games can also be made free!
This move is too crazy.

Players can almost imagine that P Club's Frontier Online is almost losing money and making money, just to bring players enough excellent and exciting games.

Therefore, the scene was filled with thunderous applause and roaring waves, which lasted for a long time.

This scene was also filmed by major media, and even the reporters were sweating for Qing Zhiyuan and P Agency.

"I am impulsive, Qing Zhiyuan."

"I think it can no longer be described as impulsive. I can only say it is completely crazy."

"There must be something wrong with Mr. Qing Zhiyuan's mental condition. He needs to take the time to see a doctor."

"But Qing Zhiyuan has a brain problem, so it can't be that all pokeni employees have a brain problem, right?

Are everyone going crazy with him?

I always feel that things are not that simple. "

"Who knows, judging from Qing Zhiyuan's style, sometimes he is indeed quite crazy, but there is actually a deep meaning behind these crazy actions.

Let’s wait and see what happens, and we’ll just report it truthfully.

We will know when Border Online is actually launched. "

……

After pokeni's presentation, the entire E3 electronics show pre-show press conference came to an end.

Now that the organizers have realized it, it is absolutely right to put pokeni on the last axis.

Because no matter how exciting the performance of other game manufacturers in the past is, they will be suppressed here by pokeni.

To some extent, this also reflects that P Club is indeed strong enough.

……

The scene is a carnival for game fans and players.

But developers and dealers only feel fear.

After the E3 pre-show conference, the minds of major game manufacturers are buzzing.

This is crazy...

The CPU is dry burning.

In the past, no matter what content Qing Zhiyuan released, everyone could barely keep up with his thinking, know the future trends of pokeni, and what benefits Qing Zhiyuan had and the hidden purpose behind it.

But this time I couldn't keep up, and my brain almost shut down.

Once you delve into the reasons behind free services, you will have the urge to hit a wall.

pokeni was fine up to now, basically it was all about technical suppression, and everyone was used to being suppressed so it didn't matter.

Anyway, P Club’s technology is there, and you have nothing to object or resist.

However, in the end, this border is directly available online for free. Is this okay?

Many game manufacturers were suddenly dumbfounded.

"What is Club P doing?"

"Are you crazy? Qing Zhiyuan must be crazy. After it is free, is it using love to generate electricity?"

“In the past, the Dandelion Game Platform offered free downloads of card and board games, and I could understand that. Anyway, they were small games that were used to promote the platform and accumulate users.

But Border Online is also free, I really don’t understand.

No wonder you have to sell CDs. If you do it for free, the more CDs you sell, the more you will lose. "

According to the current official guide price, the production cost of a game disc is about 200 yen, which is about 10 yuan in RMB.

This still does not include packaging, distribution, and other costs at all.

Adding those in, a disc would have to sell for more than 2000 yen to make back the money.

In other words, if Frontier Online sells according to the traditional model, the more discs it sells, the greater the losses will be.

Therefore, there is a reason why Qingzhiyuan does not conduct physical sales.

But even this is unreasonable.

"Is the monthly server cost free?
Is the Internet fee free?
Where is Qing Zhiyuan singing this song?

It's completely because P Club has too much money and no place to burn it, right? Want to win over players in this way? "

……

In short, this E3 electronics show will definitely go down in history.

There were so many famous scenes and masterpieces that even if pokeni were taken out alone, it would still be a landmark electronics show.

In this E3, players witnessed the greatness of Square, EA, Nintendo...

The games they displayed were definitely of the highest level in the world and gave players a sufficiently shocking experience.

However, these star-studded masterpieces look a little dim under the illumination of pokeni.

I can only explain one thing——

pokeni is just too strong.

……

After Mr. Shigeru Miyamoto of Nintendo came out with his head covered, he happened to meet Ken Kutaragi of Sony.

The two of them had almost the same frowning expression.

The representatives of the two companies, who were at odds with each other, looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

Shigeru Miyamoto took the opportunity to sit down with Ken Kutaragi and had a conversation about the actions of P Club this year.

Kutaragi Ken first lit a cigarette for himself, then glanced back, and Miyamoto Shigeru also lit one for himself.

The two of them found a chair in the small empty garden outside and sat down, feeling a little melancholy for each other.

The two of them knew each other tacitly, and probably had a common enemy at this moment.

One is the former overlord, and the other is the current overlord.

Although Sony is still the nominal overlord of game consoles, Kutaragi Ken is well aware of the terror of pokeni, especially Qing Zhiyuan.

Give P Club a few more years, I don’t know where to fly to. It seems that it is only a matter of time before Sony is defeated by it.

"Kutaragi-san, what do you think?" Miyamoto Shigeru raised his head.

"Huh?" Kutaragi raised his round face, and his stubble circled his mouth.

After all, neither he nor Shigeru Miyamoto are considered young at this time.

Kutaragi Ken is 50 years old this year, and Miyamoto Shigeru is already 48 years old. In terms of age, he is closer to Miyamoto Shigeru than to Qing Zhiyuan.

"What do you think?" Kutaragi Ken smiled bitterly, still pretending to be stupid.

"I mean, do you think Qing Zhiyuan is crazy for wanting to make a free online game?" Shigeru Miyamoto asked directly.

There seemed to be nothing to hide.

Because he himself is too curious and still can't understand Qing Zhiyuan's free behavior.

"Um……"

Kutaragi Ken pondered for a moment and slowly shook his head.

"I have spent quite a lot of time dealing with Qing Zhiyuan. This person can actually be described as a genius.

Every move he made that shocked the world seemed silly, but it turns out that Qing Zhiyuan can lead the way.

There is actually a reason behind every crazy behavior.

I certainly don't think he's crazy. "

"That's it."

Miyamoto Shigeru nodded.

I was shocked.

Kutaragi Ken thought the same as him, but to a certain extent, Miyamoto Shigeru hoped for the answer that Qing Zhiyuan was crazy.

Not everything must have a deep meaning.

Because he himself could no longer figure out the deep meaning behind it.

It always feels weird and strange, which makes people scared.

"Then what do you think his back-up plan is? Can the game really be free?"

Shigeru Miyamoto blinked in confusion, "How can a free game make money?"

After he said this, he even started laughing.

Yes, how can you make money from free games?
Isn’t the prerequisite for making money that there must be profit first?

Profit is what everyone is pursuing. Anyone who makes games, no, to be precise, any businessman in the world, doesn't he have to think about making money first?
Although Nintendo, Shigeru Miyamoto, has always advocated happy games and carefully created games that players love as its concept, at the most fundamental level, it still has to take into account the purpose of making money.

He thought he would never be able to do something like pokeni for free.

This is so counter-intuitive and counter-intuitive.

"Totally contrary to human nature."

Just at this time, Ken Kutaragi beside him said what he was thinking.

"Yes, that's it." Shigeru Miyamoto laughed excitedly.

"So, this kind of thing is not something we can figure out." Ken Kutaragi smiled bitterly, "Things that are counter-intuitive can probably only be done by Qing Zhiyuan's brain circuit.

There is nothing we can do.

It cannot be analyzed.

We can only find out when Border Online is actually launched. "

"Is that really the case?"

Miyamoto Shigeru sighed heavily.

It seems that I have a new understanding of Qing Zhiyuan and pokeni.

In a way, this is a bunch of crazy people.

……

The news didn't last overnight, and the content of the pre-show press conference at the E3 Electronics Show was sent back to Neon via the Internet that night.

This time it is also POKENI’s official website that provides first-hand advice.

After the news was sent back to Neon, the players were all shocked.

"What?! Border Online is free?!"

There is no news that is more eye-catching than the word "free".

"Is it true? The game is free? Is Qing Zhiyuan crazy?"

"There are pictures and there are truths, that's really it."

On the official website, the scene where Qing Zhiyuan stood on the stage to introduce the game and shouted that it was free was captured by the camera. It has now become the hottest topic in the gaming industry.

"I have never thought Qing Zhiyuan was so handsome.

It’s amazing that pokeni is offering such an awesome game for free!
I remember that on the Dandelion Game Platform, some of the cheapest games on sale seemed to cost 3000 yen.

I didn’t expect that Border Online would be available in one step for free. "

"It's terrible, it's terrible."

"Wait, if it's free, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with us. Neon's network speed doesn't seem to be able to support it."

"Ah, damn it, I remember SoftBank is already promoting network construction. ADSL should be available by the end of this year."

"The question is whether P Club can open online games for download in Neon."

"Isn't it? P Club, a neon game manufacturer, won't make us unable to play this game, right?"

"I hope so, come on POKENI!"

"Crazy, crazy, this world is so crazy. Have you noticed that it is really abstract after entering the year 2000?

Especially pokeni. "

"It doesn't matter if he's crazy or not, as long as it's good for the players, I support it."
