Chapter 10 (1/2)
Although Xia's video game industry started not long ago, it has been supported by policies because it is regarded as a sharp tool of cultural output, so it has developed very soundly.
As the largest single game download platform in China, e-fun platform has a complete set of recommendation mechanism and game on shelf and off shelf mechanism, which ensures that fresh blood is continuously imported into this blue ocean market.
Take indie games for example.
All the Games submitted as independent game producers with a comprehensive production cost of less than one million will be divided into independent game zones after passing the system audit.
The games that are divided into this area will have the opportunity to enjoy a series of supporting policies prepared by the e-fun platform for independent game producers.
For example, information flow recommendation on the main page of the platform.
This is almost the most exposed recommendation position on the whole platform. As long as the sales volume reaches 100 within 24 hours, it can be on the shelf.
And usually, those who can get on the recommended position are mostly excellent works of high quality. Especially according to the world's image quality, even if there is no beautiful CG animation, there must be at least a few screenshots of cheating games.
2048, however, is no doubt an alien.
There is no picture to speak of. In this information flow recommendation full of exquisite CG and screenshots, it is like a white lotus out of the mud.
Its picture is so rough that it can be ignored, and its playing method is so simple that it is mentally retarded. Even the final [congratulations on winning] is so scribbled.
Even though he has been in the game circle for many years, it is the first time that Zhang Xiang has seen such a perfunctory and rotten work get on the information flow recommendation of the biggest game platform in China, e-fun.
”It's boring, isn't it?”
Looking at the pop-up rankings, he wasted half an hour to get through the customs. He was stupid, and even suspected that his eyes were wrong.
That's it?
A junk game that wants a picture without a picture, a plot without a plot, and even the operation is so simple that it only needs four buttons up, down, left and right. It not only gets on the information stream recommendation of the e-fun platform, but also the number of downloads is going up.
By the time he saw it for the last time, more than 1000 people had downloaded it.
It's less than three hours since the game was launched.
What's more boring is that some people even scored 131072.
”... even if the auditor's head is broken, will the taste of the players be lowered?”
When he thought of the epic masterpieces he and the audience had made in Amway, one or two of them hit the street, his heart was lit up with a nameless fire.
Why is this so special!
no way!
In order to maintain the healthy development of the industry, he felt that he had to make complaints about it in the studio.
Of course
The main purpose is to confirm that it's not your own taste.
It's almost time to watch the live broadcast. He presses down on the keyboard, cuts to the desktop and opens the live broadcast tool.
As a well-known player of B station live broadcast and game area, he is also regarded as a senior in the game critics, but he has a bad reputation.
It is said that there is no game in which he can't milk to death, so he has been ridiculed by players as the first poisonous milk in the game world.
Every time in the live studio, the audience's greatest happiness is to see him flatter and boast to a big work that hasn't been launched yet, and then die unexpectedly.
Over time, whenever he pushes games in the live studio, some black fans will jump out and laugh at him for his money.
At first, he resisted, arguing that he had been generating electricity for love, and had not received any money. The result was that the developer who had been trapped by the pit could not see it. He sent an ”insider” to his neck and broke the Tucao, saying that Xiang brother took money and did not make complaints about it. He did not really promote the work. He attached a screenshot of the bank's running water, which was ”hot money”, and later he got a hot search.
Later, more and more people followed suit. No matter how hard he struggled, he didn't resist.
After all, traffic is money.
There's flow, there's food.
In fact, it is true that developers are willing to give money at the beginning. After all, the flow is there.
But then slowly, no one came to him.
Although metaphysics is not believable, it is accurate!
No one wants their own game just online, on top of a lump of toxic milk buff. What's more, some black fans have too strong fighting power. This guy smears which game he pushes, making the comment area a mess.
In this way, popularity has become a burden of brother Xiang.
If you can't take off the hat, it means that you can't get bad money, and you can't pay the rent if you can't get bad money.
Zhang Xiang, who has a lot of fans but can't cash in, wants to take off his hat all the time. However, because his mouth is too poisonous, no game can resist his poisonous milk.
Until one day, he finally got the chance he wanted.
An epic masterpiece, which has been publicized for a whole year and cost hundreds of millions of yuan, is said to be a direct surprise of the semi-finished demo. The boss of the e-fun group stood up and applauded at the press conference, and launched a trial version under the crowd.
Holding the trial version of the CD-ROM, Zhang Xiang bet on the second half of his career, the only time he made the most vicious oath for love.
”I'm so crazy!”
”If this amazing work of explosion can hit the street, I will eat two catties of excrement on the spot!”
The results were obvious.
Most of the money for that epic masterpiece was spent on the trial version and PPT, which resulted in a sudden death on the spot on the day of its launch.
Zhang Xiang, who works for his love of power generation, not only received a letter from the developer's lawyer, but also owed the audience two pounds of excrement.
Until now, there are audiences in his studio repeatedly debt, and later simply use Xiang instead of Shifu to remind him not to forget to pay the two pounds of Ollie.
It's a bloody operation.
It was also from then on that he had been chewing his teeth and humiliating, and had been seeking opportunities for transformation. He was determined to never play games to promote up owners, but instead he would make complaints about games.
After which developers do not give him money, he on the new work of that developer a frenzy.
