Modern online games, such as "Legend of Mir" and "Stone Age", all require a subscription fee.
This means that you have to pay on a time basis to play these games.
Many netizens have to pay to go to internet cafes to use the internet, and playing "Legend of Mir" requires additional expenses.
When I first heard that "The Primordial World: The Three Races' Battle for Supremacy" was free, my first reaction was disbelief, followed by immense excitement.
At this moment, countless players on the internet are cheering and spreading the news.
"The fact that 'Primordial World: Three Races Battle for Supremacy' is free to play is incredible! Wujiang Group is so generous! Praise to Wujiang Group! Wujiang Group is so selfless and great!"
"Haha, I was worried about how much the game card fee would be for 'Primordial World: Three Races' Battle,' as my living expenses for next month were a bit tight. But I never expected that Wujiang Group would announce that 'Primordial World: Three Races' Battle would be free! I was overjoyed when I heard this! Wujiang Group is truly a breath of fresh air in the gaming industry!"
"Yeah, other companies' games have ridiculously expensive game cards, but Wujiang Group's games are free. You have to admire them!"
"Yes, games like StarCraft, Warcraft, and Counter-Strike developed by Wujiang Group are all free."
"..."
On Wujiang Group's official Weibo account, countless netizens praised the company.
However, they don't seem to understand the meaning of "free is the most expensive".
The game is indeed free, but that's all a marketing ploy to lure players in. Once you're hooked, you'll realize that if you don't spend money, you're useless; no matter how hard you grind, you still can't beat the whales.
So, in the end, you'll find yourself spending money on the game without even realizing it.
Once you start, you'll start again. You might feel great after spending money, but there's always someone better. So, you get resentful and can't help but keep spending more money on the game…
Domestic and international game companies were immediately thrown into disarray. Their online games were all free, and Wujiang Group had come in with a big move: free-to-play games. How were they supposed to compete?
The game "Primordial World: Three Races Battle for Supremacy" had already aroused great curiosity among players, and now that it can be played for free, players are bound to flock to it.
"Damn it, Wujiang Group is too domineering, too shameless, blatantly breaking the rules of the game. They have money, so they can give it away for free, but our small company relies on selling game cards to make a living. Aren't they trying to kill us?!" The president of a South Korean online game company openly accused Wujiang Group of violating industry rules in front of the media.
But it's all for naught!
These game companies have no influence over Wujiang Group at all; in fact, they have to be mindful of Wujiang Group's attitude.
Many game companies dare not speak out, because offending Wujiang Group would have dire consequences, as platforms like Battle.net and Steam might specifically target and remove games from certain companies.
...
Ever since Wujiang Group announced that the game "Primordial World: Three Races Battle" would be free, internet cafe owners across the country have been getting restless.
They knew very well that players would come to internet cafes to play the game because it was free.
With the popularity of "Primordial World: Three Races Battle for Supremacy", won't the entire internet cafe be packed on the day the game is released?
Also, after the internet cafes are upgraded, the internet access fees could be increased!
In this way, the investment cost can be recovered very quickly.
When it comes to price increases, Tenglong Internet Cafe chain is second to none, raising the price from 3 yuan per hour to 4 yuan per hour.
Even though the price only increased by one yuan, the large number of users means the profit is quite considerable.
"Domestic players have high expectations for 'Primordial World: Three Races Battle for Supremacy.' How many internet cafes in China have already upgraded their computer configurations?" Zhao Ye smiled, looked up at Chai Hanfei, and asked in a calm and unhurried tone.
Chai Hanfei pushed up his thick black-rimmed glasses and answered without hesitation, "Including our Tenglong Internet Cafe, a total of 63,200 internet cafes nationwide have upgraded their computers, totaling 5.64 million computers!"
"Actually, many internet cafes are still observing, but I believe that with the launch of 'Primordial World: Three Races Battle for Supremacy,' it will definitely help these internet cafe owners make up their minds!"
"I've made a rough estimate that by next year, we should be able to collect more than 12 million used computers, which will enable us to donate a computer room to every rural primary school!"
After Chai Hanfei finished speaking, he handed a statistical document to Zhao Ye. Zhao Ye glanced at it and nodded slightly in satisfaction.
By donating used computers to charity, we cultivate users' habit of using Hasee computers and the Hongmeng operating system from a young age.
Furthermore, Zhao Ye also hopes to cultivate more IT talents through this method.
There are already a large number of IT professionals in China. New Oriental Education, a subsidiary of Wujiang Group, has trained many IT personnel. China is now in fierce competition with India in the IT OEM business.
India has an advantage in English, as many Indians start learning English from a young age, and English is an official language of India.
On the other hand, China has the advantage of scale in the IT industry and the support of Wujiang Group.
As of now, the two sides are evenly matched.
In fact, if it weren't for those European and American companies deliberately targeting Wujiang Group, the domestic IT OEM business would likely have been even more successful.
