After I Am MT secured its spot in the top five best-selling mobile games on the official app store, everyone had to admit that this' free to play 'game was very profitable.
It was even more profitable than most games that were bought at a high price!
Half shocked, half confused.
Many designers couldn't understand. It was just a small game with a hundred MB RAM, the quality wasn't high, and the reviews were average. Even if there was an anime to boost its popularity, there was no way a single anime could beat a huge channel like Emperor Dynasty Gaming Platform!
However, I Am MT had crushed Guardian of the Holy Spring, and had almost doubled its monthly income.
The designers who looked down on the game all downloaded it to study its success.
The video game media once again worked overtime because of Chen Mo's game.
On the last day of the month, the bet came to an end.
Guardian of the Holy Spring sold 890,000 copies, with a monthly revenue of 8.9 million. As for I Am MT!
Chen Mo also announced the monthly income of MT, 23 million!
It was more than double, and even close to triple!
Very quickly, all the video game media started to publish their articles.
Results of the bet: Chen Mo wins Emperor Dynasty Entertainment!
I Am MT's monthly revenue of 23 million, firmly in the top five best-selling games!
Revealing I Am MT's method of profit, the secret of a 'free to play' game
"Ballers Throw Their Money Around in This Game"
Two thousand RMB a card? You're right, this is a free to play game!
Lost with Emperor Dynasty Gaming Platform! How did Guardian of the Holy Spring lose?
Qiu Bin hasn't said anything yet, will he be able to keep his recommendation spot?
Chen Mo's Weibo is full of criticism, yet to respond to the players' doubts.
An 'unfair' game?
Science: How much income does I Am MT bring to the creator?
Expert comment: A game that uses money to make people happy isn't a good game!
…
There were articles from all angles, and it was basically the same as the players, with both praise and criticism. Some were shocked by the downloads and monthly revenue of I Am MT, while others questioned the game's profit model.
This monthly income wouldn't be much in Chen Mo's previous world. I Am MT had a monthly income of fifty-five million, not to mention the two hundred million Legend of Dota and three billion Kings of Glory.
However, it was different in the parallel world. The main profit model of mobile games was still sales. If one wanted to raise the monthly income to 20 million, they would have to sell 2 million copies a month. Even if the unit price was raised to 20 RMB, they would still have to sell 1 million copies.
It was easier said than done to sell so much in a month!
Therefore, after I Am MT stabilized itself in the top five of the best sellers leaderboards, many video game media were shocked by the game's income. Making it into the top five of the best sellers leaderboards in its first month, and with a low rating of around 7. This was enough to go down in the history books!
This was the only game that earned money while being scolded!
As I Am MT became more and more popular, Chen Mo's name became more and more familiar.
Previously, Plants vs Zombies was also very popular, with high quality and good reviews, but it wasn't typical enough. It was also a game that sold copies by copies. The idea was great, but for the people of this world, it wasn't as shocking as I Am MT.
Free games.
Unfair. Selling battle power.
Earning money while being scolded.
These three characteristics of I Am MT were enough to make it stand out from the crowd, causing industry professionals and players to study it over and over again.
…
The two people at the center of the storm didn't fight like some people expected.
After I Am MT's monthly income came out, Qiu Bin made a Weibo post as soon as possible. The content was very simple, only four words: "If you bet, you lose."
Chen Mo also made a Weibo post.
"Thank you all for your love, I won't be sending you any more razors. I understand that you all want me to shave more to maintain my handsome image, but my experience store is running out of space."
The players were furious, as they had never seen such a shameless person! Was he telling you to shave your beard?
"I've never seen such a shameless designer before!"
"Where's the experience store! I'm coming to your door with a knife! "
"Like that I get purple cards every time I draw."
"Rush for updates! When is season three coming out!! "
"You still have time to post on Weibo? Go update the World of Azeroth! "
"Trash games ruined my youth, wasted my money, I want my money back!"
"Add me as a friend if you play MT, account xxxxx …"
There were all sorts of comments, but most of them were 'sincere' and 'good wishes'.
What surprised everyone was that Chen Mo and Qiu Bin didn't fight at all. Chen Mo wasn't being unreasonable, and Qiu Bin wasn't refusing to admit defeat either. It was as if the two of them just let it go.
This made many of the spectators, who had already brought their stools and bought melon seeds and drinks, extremely unhappy.
They thought there would be a good show to watch, but you're telling me that's it even after I took off my pants?
However, being unhappy was just being unhappy. Now that both protagonists were gone, the fans couldn't do anything about it anymore. Therefore, the matter on Weibo came to an end.
What the spectators didn't know was that an undercurrent was slowly sweeping through the entire gaming industry.
…
Emperor Dynasty Entertainment Headquarters.
Qiu Bin placed his resignation letter on Lin Chaoxu's desk with both hands.
Lin Chaoxu raised his head to look at Qiu Bin. Then, he pushed the resignation letter back.
Qiu Bin was shocked, "Mr Lin, this …"
Lin Chaoxu said, "It's just a recommendation spot, give it to him."
Qiu Bin was a bit embarrassed, "I'm sorry, Mr Lin, I …"
Lin Chaoxu waved his hand, gesturing for him to stop.
"This matter isn't entirely a bad thing. At least you've helped Emperor Dynasty discover a potential threat. "
Lin Chaoxu stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window beside his desk, looking at the scenery outside, "If it wasn't for this, it might have taken us another half a year or even a year to discover Chen Mo's power. It's worth it to use a recommendation spot in exchange for a year's time."
Qiu Bin's heart warmed. He thought Lin Chaoxu would be furious, and was even prepared to resign. However, Lin Chaoxu wasn't angry at all.
Indeed, to be able to single-handedly create such a huge company like Emperor Dynasty Entertainment, he had great vision and magnanimity.
Lin Chaoxu said, "You don't have to worry about the recommendation spot, I'll get someone to contact Chen Mo."
Qiu Bin lowered his head, "Yes."
Lin Chaoxu walked up to Qiu Bin, "However, there's something I need you to do."
Qiu Bin asked, "What is it?"
Lin Chaoxu said in a serious tone, "Make another remake game based on I Am MT."
Qiu Bin was shocked, "Make another one?"
Lin Chaoxu nodded, "Yep. If you're worried about the pressure from the public, you don't have to publish it under your own name, just find a C-grade videogame designer. However, you have to be in charge of this new game, I hope the playstyle can perfectly replicate I Am MT. "
Qiu Bin nodded after some hesitation, "Yes, I understand."
