Chapter 184 The game bought by 98
needs Li Guangsheng to deal with, an imminent problem.
It is the "Battle Royale" that originally made Linmu Studio fall from the altar...
After the game media ratings, Reflecta's publicity bombardment, and the blessing of live broadcasts, the overseas sales of this game exceeded 1.3 million copies not long after breaking through one million.
It seems.
Even this is not the peak.
There is still room for growth.
A game has a sales volume of more than 200 million just by selling the game itself, not to mention that the game also has a pass system like "Breakout" and an unboxing system. Li Guangsheng simply dare not imagine the revenue that can be generated.
Add to that Linmu Studio's other two money-making tools "Breakout" and "Fantasy OL".
This is no longer a problem that the overseas market has nothing to do with Tianhu. With
such revenue.
Now it is a question of whether Tianhu's revenue in the second quarter is enough for Linmu Studio to beat...
If Tianhu and eBay are added together, the final revenue will be less than that of a small studio.
Li Guangsheng can imagine what kind of accusations he will face at the board meeting.
This is not a joke.
Now the insurance company behind Tianhu and the directors inside Tianhu are already arguing fiercely. As the middleman, although he is the chairman, his situation has always been very awkward. He
cannot please both sides.
If Linmu Studio's revenue in the second quarter really exceeds that of Tianhu,
the contradiction will be completely intensified.
His situation will be very dangerous.
Being kicked out of the company... is not impossible.
If the founder is kicked out of the company, it will really be a joke.
Although Linmu Studio has no habit of publishing financial reports, people with a keen eye can always find some clues, not to mention that Li Guangsheng can't pin his hopes on no one finding out.
So when he saw the news that the overseas sales of "Battle Royale" exceeded 1.3 million copies, he pondered for a while, and immediately called several senior executives and gave them a death order directly, raising the KPI by 30%, and forcing each production team to plan more than two large-scale krypton gold activities for its games before August...
This move caused some backlash.
Some senior executives were very opposed.
Li Guangsheng also knew that this was a way to quench thirst with poison.
But he really had no choice. Who knew that the new game of Linmu Studio would become like this in the end? He could only go his own way.
He planned to wait until the launch of Battle Royale.
But just after he gave the order to the top management,
something happened that made him even more worried.
The overseas sales of Battle Royale have been rising steadily, and the impact on China has become more and more obvious.
Although live streaming in China is not very popular now,
there are still live streaming websites, and anchors can make a living.
In particular, the live streaming of the Breakout Challenge before the New Year made live streaming popular for a short time, and live streaming websites attracted a lot of traffic.
And the live broadcasters are not fools.
Seeing that the live streaming effect of Battle Royale is good overseas, many people have also tried to broadcast this game live.
Don't tell me.
The live streaming effect in China is better.
For such a brand new game that is different from any previous FPS, it looks really interesting.
Many viewers saw that the anchors were having so much fun and the gameplay was so novel, and they were itching to try it. Looking at the price of Battle Royale and thinking about the overseas pricing, many people even felt that they made a lot of money, after all, the overseas pricing is much more expensive than the domestic area.
Moreover, the aporwave game platform has been launched for so long, and many players know the relevant rules.
No matter what, the game supports unconditional two-hour refunds.
It's a big profit.
If it's not fun, you can return it.
Once this mentality comes out,
it's natural to pay for the game.
When Li Guangsheng clicked on the introduction page of "Battle Royale" again, he found that the game reviews had soared to 90,000, and the reviews were still rave reviews...
Although in China, this game is still not as popular as "Breakout".
But it is obviously already making efforts.
The most important thing is that most of these players do not overlap with the players of "Breakout", which is what Li Guangsheng is most angry about.
Many professional players of "Breakout", such as Chen Xi, who is No.1, have tried "Battle Royale", but they all said that they are not used to it, because "Breakout" emphasizes body position and anti-second, but the most important thing in "Battle Royale" is to follow the gun.
Many players who play "Breakout" need a while to adapt to "Battle Royale", and now "Breakout" is also very popular, with various third-party competitions and continuous updates in gameplay. Of course, these players will not give up "Breakout".
Then it is obvious where the players of "Battle Royale" come from.
In fact, Linmu Studios conducted an internal survey.
For the game "Battle Royale", the overlap of users between the two games is only about 10%, both overseas and domestic.
This is a very scary number.
The huge number of shooting game players overseas is obviously not enough for "Breakout". There
are many players who don't like "Breakout" but like "Battle Royale".
It seems to be similar in China.
And with the development of "Battle Royale", a strange phenomenon has appeared in China.
A strange look that makes many players regret it.
…
Wei Bi was one of the first players to pre-order "Battle Royale".
When he pre-ordered the game, there were only 3,000 pre-orders, which was miserable.
But he still pre-ordered the deluxe version of the game.
Because he watched the opening ceremony of the Breakout Challenge Finals and was excited. He felt that Linmu Studio could do it, and even thought it was the savior of domestic games.
So when he saw Linmu Studio launch a new work, even if the evaluation was not high, he went to support it.
After buying the game.
Although not many people played the game at the beginning, the queue was ridiculously long, and he also cursed.
But as long as you play this game a few times, you can find the charm of it. He also found it, and then fell in love with this work that was hailed as the fallen work of Linmu Studio.
Although the matching was slow and his teammates were stupid, he still had a lot of fun.
During this period, the game gradually became better, more people played, matching became faster, some people broadcast live, and even the overseas sales were almost over 1.5 million.
He was also very happy.
Occasionally watch the live broadcast, and then play it by myself.
This day.
As usual, he watched his favorite streamer for a while, then opened "Battle Royale" and prepared to play by himself.
But he opened the game.
Just after playing one round.
Someone added him as a friend.
When he saw someone adding a friend, he thought that his opponent saw that he was very strong and came to play together, so he agreed excitedly.
But as soon as the other party opened his mouth, he couldn't hold it anymore.
"Friend, are you selling your account?"
Wei Bi looked at the message, slowly typed a question mark, and then asked: "What's the matter? Selling the account?"
The other party replied: "Yes, I see that you are using the pre-ordered skin, right? How is it? This kind of account is very valuable now."
Wei Bi saw the message sent by the other party and shook his head.
He didn't care about the hundred yuan at all.
He still wanted to play by himself.
But he was a little curious, so he asked: "How much?"
When the other party heard him ask this, he immediately gave a price: "One thousand and five hundred, trade immediately."
"......?"
Wei Bi immediately trembled and slowly typed a question mark again.
I bought this game for 98, and you want it for 1500?
