The Starry Sky Games platform attracted widespread attention as soon as it was launched, receiving hundreds of game applications within a few days, ranging from single-player to online games, and from PC to mobile.
Moreover, the pricing on the Starry Sky Games platform is relatively reasonable.
Joining the platform requires paying a deposit, which is set up to prevent malicious disruption. The amount is not high, only about two thousand yuan.
Subsequent charges will be determined based on the game's revenue.
If the number of players uploaded to a game is less than 500, or the rating is less than two points, the game will be forcibly removed and required to make corrections.
The game can only be shown to players after it has been rectified and approved. If it is removed from the platform three times in a row, the game will be permanently banned from being uploaded to the Starry Night Games platform.
Of course, you can publish it elsewhere yourself.
Other games that can survive charge a fee of 5% of the player's recharge amount. That is, if a player recharges 100 yuan, they need to pay a 5 yuan handling fee to the game platform.
This percentage is extremely low.
You should know that Apple's infamous tax can be as high as 30%!
Lin Chen didn't want to make money through this; the 5% handling fee was actually just for the platform's normal maintenance costs.
The real money comes from game rankings and advertising revenue!
This fair pricing model has attracted more games to join the platform.
Just when everyone thought Tencent would be furious and powerless, half a month later, Tencent actually announced that it would hold a press conference in three days, and the theme of this press conference was—TX Game Platform!
People in the gaming industry were shocked. How dare you, Tencent? You, a bandit, have started a security escort agency?
Who would dare upload a game to your site? Wouldn't they be asking to get their game copied?
But no one dared to say this publicly in front of Tencent, after all, it's Tencent, an internet giant, and nobody's head is that hard.
Oh, it seems there's one exception, a man named Mr. Lin, a kind-hearted citizen.
Mr. Lin, a concerned citizen, publicly praised Tencent's actions online and expressed his willingness to work alongside Tencent to support the development of domestic games and promote domestic game culture.
This wave of sarcastic remarks has truly amused many netizens.
"Lin Gou, it has to be you again, to snatch the bamboo shoots."
"Hahaha, walking side by side, who are you implying Lin Gou about?"
"I would call Lin Chen the number one hater on Tencent."
When Little Ma saw Lin Chen's Weibo post, his face turned black. Who would want to walk alongside you anymore? I wish I could push you into a latrine.
After posting on Weibo, Lin Chen didn't just sit around watching the drama unfold. Instead, he called a meeting with Dawei and Zhang Yiming.
"Dawei, Lao Zhang, did you guys know that Tencent is planning to release the Tencent Games platform?"
Dawei couldn't help but laugh on the spot.
"Haha, boss, you're so mean, even 'walking side by side'!"
"Ahem, Dawei, I just posted this on Weibo and you already knew? Were you slacking off at work?"
"Oh... this is impossible, boss. Actually, I set you to be a special contact, so I can receive your messages as soon as you send them."
"Oh? Let me check."
"Haha, I left my phone in the office..."
Before he could finish speaking, Dawei's phone rang in his pants.
At this moment, all three people in the conference room were silent, except for the sound of Dawei's cell phone ringing.
"De Mou sent a large moldy bag to the family"
After sending it to my family.
口口楼哇心卡素路哟摩托摩托…
Dawei silently put his hand into his pocket and then hung up the phone.
Fortunately, the Xiaomi Mi 2 has fewer buttons; there are two buttons on one side for volume and one button on the other for power.
So you won't press the wrong button even if you're blindly pressing it.
Dawei sat there pretending nothing was wrong.
Zhang Yiming silently gave a thumbs up, "You're amazing."
"Alright, enough with the chit-chat, let's get down to business. I suspect that if domestic game studios don't give Tencent face, Tencent will turn to another path."
"What road?" Dawei and Zhang Yiming asked at the same time.
"Foreign game distributors!"
"That's right. Although Tencent has a bad reputation in the domestic game industry, it doesn't have such concerns abroad. Moreover, with its strong capital and market share, the possibility of it distributing games overseas is still very high."
"Boss, what should we do?"
"What should we do? Of course, we should strike first! While Tencent is still inviting domestic game studios, let's go and negotiate the distribution rights for popular foreign games. Dawei, Lao Zhang, I'm leaving this to you. Be quick, and don't worry about getting the lowest price."
Two days later, the head of the TX game platform awkwardly went to Pony Ma's office.
"Mr. Ma, not many game studios are willing to attend the launch event for our TX game platform. What should we do?"
"Huh? They actually dared to refuse?"
"We didn't refuse, but we haven't received a clear reply from the invitations we sent out. We can't just call them again to ask if they're coming or not; that wouldn't be in line with our TX identity."
"Yeah, that's true. How can they be so shameless? Sending out invitations isn't enough; they actually want us to call them?"
Even so, Pony Ma is also worried. The press conference is about to take place, but there are no guests. Are they going to invite thin air?
Suddenly, Little Ma's eyes lit up.
"I've got it! You need to quickly contact some popular overseas games and invite them to join our TX Games platform. Be sure to act fast, money is no object."
"Okay, Mr. Ma, I'll go right away."
A week later, the head of the TX game platform rushed into Pony Ma's office again.
When Little Ma saw him return, he quickly asked, "How did it go? Did you get everything sorted out? How many companies did you sign with?"
"Mr. Ma, we've been beaten to it. Most of the popular overseas games have been signed by Star Technology, and they plan to join the Star Games platform."
"WTF???"
Little Ma almost choked on his breath, passed out, and slumped into his boss's chair.
The press conference is only a few days away, what should we do?
Little Ma's brain was working like crazy, it felt like it was about to smoke.
At this point, it was no longer just a matter of a game platform; it concerned the reputation of the entire Tencent Group.
They created their own gaming platform, but not a single game developer showed up. Isn't that a blatant embarrassment?
TX Games is planning to compete with StarCraft Technology, but they don't even have a single game. What's the point of competing? Are they relying on "Happy Landlords"?
