Kaiser's words sent the entire group into an uproar.
"Oh my god, did someone hack K-god's account? I've never seen K-god praise an RTS game like that! "
"K-god are you serious? Is this game really that fun? "
"K-god's reputation is trustworthy, I'm going to download it now!"
The group was filled with loyal RTS players. They all downloaded the game when they heard Kaiser say that this game beat Legion Conquest in an instant.
Xue Kai felt that the game was too good. He wasn't satisfied with just promoting it in the QQ group, and went straight to Weibo to praise Warcraft.
He wasn't done yet, he decided to start streaming after some thought.
He couldn't enjoy a game this fun to himself, the more people playing it the better!
Moreover, it wasn't easy for a Chinese game to come out with such a good game, he had to support it!
Xue Kai started streaming.
It was still afternoon, and Xue Kai usually streamed at night, so there weren't many people watching. However, there were a lot of people following Xue Kai's stream, and they quickly entered the room.
"Wow, K-god is streaming? That's weird, it's only afternoon? "
"Wow, I have nothing to do this afternoon, so it's nice to watch K-god's stream."
The chat soon started to fill up, and the number of people watching soon reached two hundred thousand.
Xue Kai's stream had a million or so followers, which wasn't a lot. It was mainly because RTS games weren't as popular as MOBAs in his previous life, so there weren't as many people watching in the afternoon. Moreover, there weren't as many streams in the parallel world.
However, with a million followers, Xue Kai could be considered a big streamer.
Xue Kai switched the screen to Warcraft, and changed the title of his stream to "Try out the new game Warcraft".
Xue Kai spoke as he controlled Arthas to continue clearing the campaign, "I discovered a new game called Warcraft today. It's a Chinese game, and I think it's pretty good. I recommend everyone play it."
The people in the stream also started discussing it. Many people were paying attention to the game, and were recommending it to others.
This made it so that the other people couldn't help but download it.
…
Xue Kai was the first streamer to stream Warcraft, but he wasn't the only one. The news spread like wildfire in the RTS community. It didn't take long for people to flood other streams asking the streamer to play Warcraft. This quickly became a trend.
On the second day, most of the streamers for Legion Conquest were playing Warcraft on the major streaming platforms.
A large number of players were attracted by the game's high quality cinematics, intense story, and disruptive playstyle. Warcraft quickly became popular on PC.
Xue Kai had already bought Warcraft without hesitation. From what he could see, the game was bound to be popular. Moreover, 88 RMB wasn't that expensive compared to the quality of the game.
As the game went on, Xue Kai realized that the game's content was getting richer, and the plot was moving toward a more exciting plot.
In Xue Kai's stream, eight hundred thousand people were watching him play Warcraft. This number of viewers was even higher than many RPG streamers, reaching the peak of his stream.
After clearing a new chapter of the plot, it was another cutscene CG.
Xue Kai was shocked. Another cutscene? This designer is really rich. This kind of CG looks like it's burning money. How many segments did he make?
The first sound was the distant chime of a bell.
Amidst the sacred melody, the camera zoomed across the skies of Lordaeron, looking down at Arthas who had returned.
The drawbridge was lowered and Arthas entered the city. The citizens of Lordaeron gave their prince their sincerest cheer, throwing large amounts of flower petals.
As the flower petals fell, Arthas who was wearing a black hood looked up and caught a petal.
At this moment, the melody suddenly took a sad and elegant turn.
The petal slowly withered in Arthas's hands.
Arthis tossed the flower petal aside and looked up at the sky. Her eyes were absolutely cold.
The palace doors were pushed open and Arthas came into the grand hall.
Arthas pulled out his sword and knelt down, bowing to his father. But no one noticed that the Prince wasn't holding a holy hammer, but a Frostmourne that exuded an aura of death.
The old king rose to greet him, but there was only one voice in Arthas's head.
"You don't have to sacrifice for your people anymore.
"You don't have to bear the burden of the crown anymore.
"I've arranged everything."
Frostmourne's voice echoed in his head, and Arthas stepped forward with his sword.
The camera turned to Arthas's reflection on the wall, and the old king asked in horror, "What are you going to do, my son?"
Arthas's voice was emotionless. "Inherit the throne, Father."
With a scream, the crown fell to the ground.
The blood-stained crown rolled down the stairs, and Arthas's emotionless voice echoed in the hall. "This kingdom is going to be destroyed.
"But from the ruins, a new order will be born, and it will shake the foundations of this world!"
…
Before Xue Kai could recover from the shock, the screen was already flooded with comments.
"What the f * ck, is this a domestic game? You're telling me it's a domestic game? "
"This CG is amazing. My mom asked me why I was watching the livestream on my knees!"
"The Prince of Righteousness has indeed fallen? Damn, does the plot have to be so explosive? He's killing the king and his father! "
"I had a bad feeling just from watching the campaign, I knew it!"
"K god, please continue, we want to see the rest of the story!"
…
They hadn't even played the real online battle mode, but the plot alone had already caused the audience to scream in surprise.
Just the world view alone was already far superior to Legion Conquest. Not to mention anything else, just these few cinematics alone were enough to break through the sky. Legion Conquest's pale and empty background setting was completely destroyed in an instant!
Even the World of Azeroth website had a huge increase in visitors. There were more and more comments under Arthas and Illidan, with three to five new comments every time the page was refreshed.
Everyone in the experience store was paying attention to the statistics of the game.
Although I Am MT had been on the best sellers leaderboards before, it was a mobile game after all. It wasn't on the same platform as a PC game. Although everyone was confident in Warcraft's quality, no one knew how far the game could go.
Su Jinyu asked, "Manager, how's the sales?"
Chen Mo was speechless, "Didn't you just ask an hour ago? How much can it go up in an hour? "
Su Jinyu said, "Quick, take a look."
Chen Mo took a look and said, "It's at 24960 now, increasing by around seven hundred per hour."
Su Jinyu exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, that's insane! Twenty thousand sales in a day! "
Qian Kun said happily, "That means we're making over a million RMB a day! That's insane! "
Plants vs Zombies also sold twenty thousand copies on the first day, but that was a mobile game which only cost ten RMB per copy. That's only two hundred thousand sales on the first day.
Warcraft was a huge production, selling eighty-eight RMB and selling twenty thousand copies, making 1.7 million RMB a day. This was on a completely different level compared to a mobile game.
Chen Mo said, "Are you guys satisfied with that? I think Warcraft's sales can go even higher. "
"Higher?" Su Jinyu was shocked, "Any higher and we'll be able to one-shot Legion Conquest. Isn't that a bit unrealistic?"
Chen Mo laughed, "Unrealistic? It'd be unrealistic if we couldn't one-shot Legion Conquest. "
For others, Warcraft's sales were already impressive, but Chen Mo was far from satisfied.
In his previous life, Warcraft sold 1.6 million units in China. Pirated games were rampant in China at that time, so to be able to sell 1.6 million units in that environment was a dream.
Although Chen Mo priced Warcraft at eighty-eight RMB, which was a bit on the expensive side, the video game industry in the parallel world was more regulated, and pirated games were almost extinct. Moreover, there weren't any strong competitors in the RTS market. Chen Mo was confident that he could push Warcraft's sales to two million units in China!
