This news, as soon as it came out, immediately shocked the global gaming community. Gamers around the world, especially many Empire game players and fans, have been waiting for it.

At the beginning of the year, Empire Games suddenly started recruiting game R\u0026D talents from all over the world. At that time, tens of thousands of people applied for the job, causing a sensation in the recruitment industry in Hong Kong and even around the world.

Of course, the global gaming community and gamers have noticed that Empire Games must be secretly developing new large-scale games.

Sure enough, in early November, the world's first Internet game "Warcraft 1: Orcs and Humans" was officially revealed to the world.

Just from the name of this game, many people find it shocking.

At this time, many news media, newspapers, and television around the world have promotional clips, but players still don’t know exactly what this explosive game is like.

November 11, 1990.

Sunday.

Today happens to be a day off.

09:00 am.

Empire Games Conference Room at Empire State Building Headquarters.

At this time, in addition to Tomohiro Nishikaku, Akio Nakanishi, and Sanito Matsushita from Imperial Games, there were also Shigeru Miyamoto, Akiyoshi Fujiwara, as well as Melis, Huo Jianning and others attending the new game "Warcraft 1: Orcs and The global launch of "Humanity".

Which, at the same time.

Except here in the conference room at Empire Games headquarters.

Toyo held the release at the Akihabara Empire Game Exhibition Center.

In London, the issuance was held in the conference room of the Imperial Group's European headquarters in the London Financial Center.

Koryo held the issuance at the conference room headquarters of the Shilla Group Building in Seoul.

Country M was held in the conference room of the Silicon Valley Building.

. . .

Almost all at the same time, global issuance and listing.

This time, the largest number of people participated in the event in Xiangjiang.

In addition to nearly a thousand reporters, including TV stations, media newspapers, and journalists stationed in Hong Kong from all over the world, there are also executive representatives from Empire Games, Empire Group, and player representatives from Empire Games, etc., just publish here There are nearly three thousand people in the capital.

Now three thousand people gather together, it can be said to be very lively.

However, this large conference room seemed a bit crowded because there were too many people.

Today, the hosts hosting the press conference for "Warcraft 1: Orcs and Humans" are Tomohiro Nisikado and Shigeru Miyamoto.

Among them, there are many posters about orcs in the conference room, which look very attractive.

Tomohiro Nisikado is already one of the most important executives of Empire Games, and he is also the representative of Toyo's executives and professional managers in Empire Group. Now Tomohiro Nisikado began to say hello to the reporters and fans present.

He began to introduce in detail today's newly released game "Warcraft 1: Orcs and Humans"

The introduction was very good.

And he played directly in front of reporters and players.

Although it is a stand-alone version, you can download it directly from the CD to your computer, and then you can install it and play it.

Because the global Internet is still developing, although it is known as the world's first Internet game, because the global Internet has not yet been truly connected, it is only a stand-alone version of the game that will be released now. It will be released in various countries in the future. After the Internet is connected, it will inevitably appear in the form of Internet games.

At that time, game players from all over the world can log in together and play this game together.

It can be said that the current stand-alone version is just a taste for global players. However, according to the current development speed of the global Internet, in three or four years, the global Internet will develop, and it will definitely appear on the Internet in various countries around the world. On the road.

After Tomohiro Nisikado finished his introduction.

The reporters and fans present are most concerned about the price of this stand-alone game.

Of course, under normal circumstances, the stand-alone version of this game will not be too expensive.

Although Empire Games spent a lot of money on research and development, it is impossible to earn it back from players all at once.

"After our consideration, this genuine stand-alone version of "Warcraft 1: Orcs and Humans" has been priced globally at US$49 per unit."

49 US dollars, converted into Hong Kong dollars, which is about 380 Hong Kong dollars.

It's not too expensive, nor is it cheap.

After all, in the early 1990s, many places were still very poor.

China is just developing now, and not everyone has a monthly salary of several hundred yuan.

In Xiangjiang, the price is indeed cheap and many people can afford it.

When reporters and fan representatives heard the price, applause broke out in the conference room. It was obvious that they were very satisfied.

At this price, basically many people can afford it.

The problem is, computers are much more expensive, and many people may not be able to afford them.

Because now it is a stand-alone version of the game for the PC version, which requires a lot of memory, but it does not use the original red and white consoles. As for handheld games, these are also difficult to play and still require a computer.

Of course, an ordinary desktop computer will do, and you don’t necessarily need an expensive computer.

After Tomohiro Nisikado finished speaking, Shigeru Miyamoto went up again and announced that there will be new games next month, which can also be a global sensation.

Reporters and fans were even more surprised by this news.

Of course, Empire Games recruited so many game talents at the beginning of the year, and it couldn’t be just for one game.

Now it seems that there should be other games, but "Warcraft 1: Orcs and Humans" is the first to be launched now.

At about the same time, after the launch of the new product of Empire Games' new game "Warcraft", the game will soon be sold by Empire Group's agents and distributors.

The orders will be announced uniformly.

The day of the press conference.

The global order volume for the stand-alone version of "Warcraft" exceeded 5 million.

The next day, it exceeded 7 million.

On the third day, it exceeded 10 million.

On the fourth day, it exceeded 15 million.

. . .

Among them, part of these orders come from domestic sources.

Now the country is also a big market. In addition to Aika, there are also other agency companies. Now the domestic order sales have exceeded one million copies.

Of course, the order volume is still ongoing.

Although the stand-alone version of the game costs nearly 380 yuan, although it is still relatively expensive, the order volume from Zhongguancun in Yanjing is the highest, followed by the Zhujiang New City Computer City in Yangcheng and Huachengbei in Pengcheng, which also have very high order volume.

Of course, pirated copies may also appear soon, which is inevitable.

Unless the Internet is truly connected and many players play through the Internet, it will be difficult for other companies to pirate the game.

While the global order volume continues to rise, it has already brought in nearly one billion US dollars in sales. Although this is not all benefit, the profit is still very high.

It can be said that this is a steady stream of wealth, faster than a money printing machine.
