Chapter 467: Free is the most expensive!
·
Ku Mao
After everyone else left, Chen Mo knocked on the table: "Please report on the current situation of Legend."
Ma Teng said with a wry smile: "The situation is very bad. Shengda Company has copied our games almost one to one, and the points are cheaper than ours. There are no independent Internet cafes yet. You can play wherever you want."
Now Legend has lost three-quarters of its players to Hot-Blooded Miracle. "
"Boss, how about we also lower the price of point cards, and then stop being a sole agent?"
"This should relieve a lot of stress."
Chen Mo shook his head decisively: "Reducing prices and canceling exclusive generation will only send the remaining players who still insist on playing Legend to their opponents."
“Our existing single-generation fee legend not only does not reduce the price or cancel the single-generation fee, but also announces that the card fee may increase year by year!”
"what?!"
Ma Teng and Shi Yuzhu were shocked.
Instead of lowering the price, raise the price?
Can anyone still play this?
Chen Mo smiled: "Don't worry! Of course we can't use the current game to fight against Shengda."
"Then we shall..."
Chen Mo picked up the whiteboard pen and wrote six big words on the whiteboard: "Journey" free game!
"Free game? What do you mean?"
Ma Teng couldn't help but wonder.
The games are free, can you still make money?
Where should I earn servers, R&D expenses, marketing expenses, and staff salaries?
Chen Mo smiled mysteriously: "First of all, let me explain that the core and essence of the game "Zhengtu" is actually still "Legend", but our copywriting planning needs to be repackaged and turned into our Daxia background. What else? Shabak's siege, we want to turn it into a national war, a melee among the seven countries, some PK with tens of thousands of people on the same screen, in short, we will change it how we look brilliant and domineering, how we bluff people..."
Chen Mo first elaborated on the design concept of the free game "Zhengtu".
As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Teng asked impatiently:
"It's easy to talk about research and development, but boss, your games are free, how can we make money? We can't drink from the northwest wind, right?"
Chen Mo smiled and wrote on the whiteboard again:
Free is the most expensive!
Seeing that the two of them were confused, Chen Mo slowly began to explain:
"There are two types of players in the current Legendary game: RMB players who have money but no time, and ordinary players who have time but no money. However, due to the limitations of the time charging model, the gap between the two in game consumption cannot be widened, so why can't we change it? Woolen cloth?"
"Based on the above considerations, I am planning to create a new model: a charging model where the game is free and the items are charged!"
As expected of the future Internet tycoon, Chen Mo just asked a little, and the two of them understood it immediately!
"I understand!"
“The free game lowers the entry threshold for users and increases the stickiness of players who don’t want to spend money. The charging for props also allows some players to earn money.”
"Wonderful! This idea is so wonderful!"
Ma Teng almost slapped the thigh, his face turned red and he said excitedly.
At this moment, his mind was filled with countless ideas on how to make free players earn money!
Shi Yuzhu also said excitedly: "That's right! Free is always better than paid. After all, who doesn't like free prostitution?"
"I have actually seen a lot of posts on the Legend Forum calling for free servers and giving them the opportunity to join the student party and the poor party to participate in the game. And the popularity of those posts really surprised me!"
“If we develop a game with free games and paid items, we will definitely be able to trick these poor people and students into playing!
They thought they were taking advantage, but in fact they were treated like pigs and killed by us! "
Chen Mo nodded with satisfaction, and then wrote a series of payment systems on the whiteboard that made Zhou Papi's scalp numb when he saw it:
Mounts, gems, wings, equipment strengthening and enchanting, soul rings, refining, skins, draws, in-game gambling, dungeon consumption...
After Chen Mo finished introducing the functions and charging points of various systems, Ma Teng and Shi Yuzhu both looked at Chen Mo with strange eyes.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Chen Mo said amusedly.
"I thought I was already dark-hearted, but I didn't expect you, boss, to be even darker-hearted!" Ma Teng said.
"Yes, with all these paid krypton gold systems added, if you want to play at the top level, even a few million dollars may not be enough! And they are still willing to spend this money.
Boss, you are scarier than a vampire!
Unknowingly, the players’ wallets were drained dry. " Shi Yuzhu said.
No wonder Chen Mo just wrote "What's free is the most expensive"!
Nowadays, the Legend is worth 30 yuan per month. As long as you don’t insist on equipment like Chen Mo’s account and spend more time, you can get good results.
But free games are different.
If you are a player without krypton gold and want to use "liver" to increase your combat power and try to catch up with the big guys...
Then you will discover a very cruel reality!
Players without krypton gold can't beat the krypton gold players no matter what!
The account that takes you a year to create may be created by paying players in three days.
If you are not convinced, you can either play the life-threatening game and contribute traffic to the game, or you can only spend money to increase your combat effectiveness.
Looking back, many players who initially wanted to do it for free will find that they spent more money on free games than on paid card games!
Chen Mo then made a surprising statement: "Free players are also one of the game features we provide to paying players."
“Let free players act as entertainment tools for paying players.
Let paying players look down on all living beings with a lofty attitude. Are you willing to top up your money just thinking about it? "
"Of course, the gap cannot be too exaggerated. We still need to give free players a little bit of gaming experience."
Ma Teng: "..."
Shi Yuzhu: "..."
The two couldn't help but cursed in their hearts: profiteer! ! !
"Lao Ma, you are responsible for supervising Wang Chao and others to complete "Zhengtu" as soon as possible."
"Lao Shi, you are still the marketing director this time, responsible for the marketing and operations of the game."
After a pause, Chen Mo said: "This time, the marketing focus of "Zhengtu" will be on the second and third tiers, as well as smaller towns and cities."
As soon as Chen Mo said this, Shi Yuzhu nodded in admiration.
According to Shi Yuzhu's research, Daxia's largest market is not in first-tier cities, but in second- and third-tier small cities.The market in first-tier cities has been regarded as a battleground by major domestic game companies, but what about second- and third-tier cities?
There are almost no competitors in sight!
Because existing domestic and foreign game companies believe that not many people in small cities in Daxia are willing to spend money on games.
After ordering the arrangements to proceed, the two immediately set off to get busy.
Ma Teng said with a wry smile: "The situation is very bad. Shengda Company has copied our games almost one to one, and the points are cheaper than ours. There are no independent Internet cafes yet. You can play wherever you want."
