After reading through the material and understanding the big picture, Xu Zhi buried himself in his research.

After two hours, Xu Zhi looked up from his research. He roughly understood why Dream Game Company’s revenue had fallen so drastically.

In order to verify his idea, he turned on Qin Zishu’s computer and played all three games once, confirming his judgment even more.

Saber 777 was the company’s first game. It was similar to the Saber 9999 created by Zachary Games in his original world before he transmigrated to Bluestar.

When it was first released, it attracted a lot of attention. However, this game did not have any barriers to entry. After Dream Game Company made money from this game, other game companies immediately started to copy it. Although Dream Game Company kept updating the game, this year, Saber 777’s monthly revenue was less than one million yuan.

Xu Zhi had just played for a while, and other than the screen full of flashing treasures, there was nothing outstanding about it.

After placing down the report on Saber 777, Xu Zhi did not pay much attention to this game.

The novelty of the players had long been washed away by a large number of similar games. Even if he released another game called Saber 888, it would be difficult to replicate the initial explosive success.

Meanwhile, the company launched Ghost’s Dream the next year. Even Xu Zhi, who had seen too many games, had a surprised expression on his face.

He did not expect his wife to be able to make this game back then.

In Xu Zhi’s view, this game was a little similar to the one in his previous life, Backfire Chill. However, due to the current quality of the graphics, this game did not reach the level of the games in his previous life. However, this game had earned a lot of attention back then, in the second year after it was launched, it became even more popular. It also allowed Dream Game Company to reach 1.1 billion yuan in revenue in just three years.

However, this kind of game was a novelty to play. After two years, this year’s revenue dropped significantly. Even Dream Game Company’s results were extremely dismal. However, they could still contribute 30 million yuan in revenue every month.

Xu Zhi had just tried it out, and he did not have too much critique. It could only be said that the decline in revenue was because the game’s lifespan curve had exceeded its peak.

As for Dream Game Company’s latest release, Real Battlefield, in Xu Zhi’s view, it was a huge problem.

In short, Dream Game Company was using the web pages to run a shooting game. As he expected, it was easy for things to go wrong.

Xu Zhi had just tried it out. It was clearly a shooting game.

After entering the game, he carefully counted it and found that there were dozens of character values. This was not the end. The differences between the various firearms were extremely fine, it would probably take him at least a week to familiarize himself with the game.

This was not a big deal. It could attract a large number of die-hard fans, but this game was too focused on the quality of the graphics. The players’ computers generally could not keep up with it. In fact, most internet cafes could not play it. In order to attract players, the company tried to compress the game,. In the end, there was only one game mode, which greatly reduced the interest from the target audience.

Although the game attracted a wave of attention in the first month of release, the revenue for the following months was decreasing. Today, there was only five million in monthly revenue, which was already beyond redemption.

These three games were all the treasures of Dream Game Company.

They might have been glorious in the past, but in Xu Zhi’s eyes, they were like fallen leaves that had been hit by frost.

If there were no more new games in Dream Game Company, the company might not be able to last until next year if they only sustained themselves with savings. The company would have to lay off employees.

However, Qin Zishu had already set up a new game plan.

It was called ‘Real Battlefield 2’.

Xu Zhi picked up the new game’s information report and looked at it. His head immediately started to hurt.

“Still pursuing realism? Still adding data? Still adding guns? Adding new accessories??”

Looking at the information of the Real Battlefield 2, Xu Zhi did not see any appeal to it. The game only tried to emphasize on creating a realistic experience, just like the game’s name. They even planned to deliberately increase the difficulty for the sake of realism.

This was simply taking a wrong path.
