On the 15th of June, Chen Mo's Weibo and Thunderbolt Entertainment's official website released a notice of the 618 event.
Many players were confused. What's the meaning of this, again?
Chen Mo, are you trying to mess with the e-commerce festival??
It's fine if you followed along with the 50% price last year, but you're coming to 618 as well?
Last year on Double 11, a lot of people were planning to buy digital products, clothing, and other things, but because of Chen Mo's interference, they didn't get to buy anything …
It couldn't be helped. Compared to real things, virtual games had too much of a discount. If the normal products were sold at 50% off, they would lose a lot of money. Therefore, many businesses would either increase the price before lowering the price, or give a small discount, or sell in limited quantities. For the consumers, it really wasn't worth it.
But games were different. It was all virtual anyways, selling at half price would actually make more money …
Therefore, many players couldn't control their hands at all, buying games and services. In the end, they didn't even buy the digital products and clothing they wanted to buy on the 11th …
Many comforted themselves that it was fine, they could just wait for 618!
But on 618, Chen Mo came again …
Many players cried without even looking at the event, "Please, let my J2, oh no, let my wallet take a break!"
However, when the players looked at the details of the 618 event, they felt a little better.
Strictly speaking, they were happy and regretful at the same time.
Happy that it wasn't half price for the entire game.
Regretful that it wasn't half price for the entire game …
One could only say that humans were contradictory creatures. Many people said they had no money, but in reality, they were still hoping for the 618 game to be half price. At least in terms of cash flow, they wouldn't have to wait until the 11th to get their tokens back.
Although they were disappointed, many people took a closer look at the 618 event and realized that it was quite interesting!
…
The content of the 618 event was as follows.
The first was a large scale event on the Thunderbolt Gaming Platform, with the main goal of promoting the game and increasing player activity.
For online games such as "League of Legends" and "PlayerUnknown's Battleground", they would receive exclusive skins, currency, and so on when they logged in every day. On the day of 618, teaming up with friends to play the game could earn three times the game income (EXP, Gold Coins, etc.). Calling back old friends would give extra rewards.
All games on the Thunderbolt Gaming Platform would be playable, allowing players to play the first ten percent of the game content. More playtime could be unlocked through playing time, up to thirty percent of the game content. If players completed thirty percent of the game content, they could choose to buy the game for seventy percent of the original price.
This meant that if players bought the game at thirty percent of the original price, they would still receive half of the original price in the event.
Games on the Thunderbolt Gaming Platform and games by the same designer would be released together. On the day of 618, if you buy and play the games of the designer (unlimited number of games) for 6 hours, you will receive one of the designer's games for free. This event was voluntary from other designers, and could decide which game they wanted. This event was for other designers to of their own.
The second piece of news was that "Seaside Mansion" was about to receive a new update. This time, the main city of Azeroth would be introduced: Orgrimmar. Players would be able to enter Orgrimmar as a Blood Elf and travel around freely.
The third was that Chen Mo would be releasing a new game. It was a VR game, but it was priced at only 98 RMB.
Players who could play the game for two hours would be rewarded with two hundred RMB worth of virtual items (skins, etc).
Players who could play the game for six hours would be rewarded with one thousand RMB worth of virtual items.
Players who could finish the game could pick any game on the Thunderbolt Gaming Platform, and Chen Mo would give it to them for free.
Many players were impressed by Chen Mo's kindness after reading the rules of the event.
"There's a three times return event for all online games? GG, I don't even know what I'm playing on 618, League of Legends or PlayerUnknown's Battleground? "
"Any friend can form a team? Old friends get extra rewards? I feel like it's time to call back old friends! "
"I'm a bit confused by the second point of the first event. What does that mean? What does it mean when it's combined with the event? "
"It means seventy and fifty percent. In fact, as long as you complete thirty percent of the game content, you'll be able to buy the game for fifty percent off! Of course, the money won't be returned until the event. "
"No, previous poster, you're wrong. It's actually more profitable."
"The indie video game designers are getting excited too? Does that mean that if their favorite indie video game designer participates in this event, they'll get one of their games for free if they play for six hours? Another free game, that's great news! "
"The new main city, Ogrimma! That's amazing, Stormwind City was really amazing. Ogrimma should be the main city of the orcs, right? The architecture should be similar to the orcs in Warcraft, I'll be able to experience something different! "
"I'm most interested in the third one … Chen Mo made a new VR game, and it's only selling for ninety-eight? Moreover, you'll get free stuff for playing this game? Two hundred RMB for two hours? You can pick any game after you've finished the game? "
"Pick any game?! Then choose Origins, the original price is eighty RMB, eighty RMB for eighty RMB, that's a huge profit! Even buying a house wouldn't be worth that much! "
"My goodness, it's true. Salent is getting too full of himself, he's going to lose a lot of money!"
"Wait, don't tell me it's a masochistic game like Dark Souls?"
"So what? I'll just die in front of Gundyr for two hours! Or just don't mess with Gundyr. Two hours of scenery is two hundred RMB, six hours of scenery is one thousand RMB, what a steal! "
"Wow, you're such a smart kid!"
For the gamers who liked indie games, the indie event was the best deal. For the indie video game designers, it was a great opportunity to promote their games. For the designers who had a few series of games, even if they gave away a game after trying it out, the players would still buy their other games. Moreover, they could use this opportunity to attract more players.
However, the most popular event was Chen Mo's new game.
Can playing games really make money?
Ninety-eight RMB for eighty RMB, that's a huge loss!
Many gamers were curious, what kind of game was this?
"Hmm … the English name of the game is Silent?
hill？ Salent Hills? Or Chen Mo Ling? Chen Mo named the game after himself? Does that mean this is Chen Mo's territory? "
