In the conference room of Netcom One Games, the results of the PC version of "Wilderness War God" were out after a day of work. The reviewers were reporting to their superiors.
"In terms of production, Hongxin Games' production is still very good, much better than ours."
"But in terms of market satisfaction, it's not ideal."
"Tell us, why is that?" Someone asked.
"Success and failure are all because of the same person. It's precisely because their production is so good that the computer hardware required to run the game is also very good. Currently, most of the models can't run properly with the current domestic user configuration. This restricts the promotion of their game. No matter how good the production is, it can't be popular. "
After the reviewers finished speaking, the management of Netcom One Games couldn't help but smile.
The manager of the marketing department said, "They're too focused on quality and neglected the market's acceptance. They're destined to only make a niche game! This is also the reason why many foreign games can't be popular in China. Hongxin Games is terrible at this move! "
Someone asked, "Didn't they say in the announcement that they can solve it?"
"That's just an announcement." The technical department said, "If they want to solve it, they have to lower the quality of their game. That way, they won't have any advantages and will waste a lot of research funds. "
"As for the game accelerator they mentioned, it's a joke!"
"Netcom One also has its own game accelerator. The principle is nothing more than using VPN technology to make virtual dialing, allowing telecommunications, netcom, education, and other operator networks to smoothly access each other, and even proxy foreign servers."
"This kind of technology is almost useless for the problems of the PC version of" Wilderness War God "."
The technical department manager joked, "Unless their accelerator can upgrade the user's computer hardware, they have to turn on another accelerator when they start the game. The more they play, the more laggy it gets!"
"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed.
… …
Penguin Games also received the same report.
"Hongxin is still too young!" A senior executive laughed, "The design and operation of foreign games are not suitable in China."
"Take the charging model for example. Most foreign games are charging fees. But in China, we're using free games. We use value-added services to make money, and the profits are higher. "
"That's better." Another person said, "If they want to go the high-end route, then we'll go the mass route."
"Release the PC version of our Chicken Dinner ahead of time to grab the market share. It was impossible for a competitive game to only target a niche audience. When the majority of players enter our game, they won't be able to compete anymore. "
In Hongxin Games, the employees weren't in a good mood, especially those in charge of the PC side of Wilderness War God. The more popular the game was, the higher their bonus commission would be, and vice versa.
Now that the closed beta test had been released, the response was not very good. Everyone was thinking of a solution.
"Why not? Why don't we change the game? It's about the same level as PlayerUnknown's Battleground: The Great Escape, "Zhu An suggested.
"There's no rush." Lu Zixin said calmly, "The official version will be released after the online game accelerator is perfected. It can also serve as a diversion."
In fact, it was not only Zhu An. Liu Tong, Liang Song, and other senior executives of Hongxin had also raised this issue to Lu Zixin, but he had suppressed all of them.
Before the equipment arrived, Lu Zixin could not say anything to them. The closed beta test was only to collect data so that the cloud host would have a basis for analysis when it came to computing.
The popularity of the PC version of Wilderness War God died down very quickly. This was because more than half of the players did not have the right hardware to play the game even if they were qualified for the closed beta test.
The players who were qualified to play the game were naturally cheering. Some people even specially configured high-performance computers to play the game.
A few days later, Lu Zixin finally received a reply from the Red Queen.
In the Wanjie Technology chat group, the moment the Red Queen came online, she hurriedly went offline and left a red packet.
Lu Zixin clicked on the red packet and the group notification said, "Congratulations on receiving a red packet from the Red Queen. You have received a 'cloud computing' supercomputer, a 'cloud computing' auxiliary program, and a special Red Queen expression pack."
Lu Zixin was overjoyed when he saw the first two. However, when he saw the last one, he was immediately confused.
"A special expression pack? Why did she give me this? " He opened the special expression pack and saw that there were tens of thousands of different expressions inside.
There was also a message from the Red Queen under the expression pack. "Group leader, you have too few pictures. You can't compete with me. These are for you. (Expression: It's lonely to be invincible.) "
Lu Zixin was about to vomit blood. He did not expect to be despised by the Red Queen! I have to find a chance to let her try the power of authority dog. No, the power of a group leader!
Lu Zixin put these thoughts to the back of his mind and started to get busy with the server. The cloud computing supercomputer was also produced by the Umbrella Corporation. Lu Zixin used some means to "reasonably" ship it to the company.
Lu Zixin had to do the installation of the equipment and the matching of the software himself. He was only able to play with the computer skills taught by the Red Queen.
The company's technical staff could only play a supporting role.
As long as the cloud host was installed and the online game accelerator was online, the PC version of Wilderness War God would no longer be a problem. Moreover, the online game accelerator itself was a killing machine. If it was done well, Hongxin Games' position in the online game industry would be unshakable!
While Hongxin Games was busy developing the online game accelerator, Penguin Games could not wait to make a move.
Penguin News: "Penguin agent, the official PC version of PUBG: The Great Escape has been released!"
"In order to provide the best gaming experience for Chinese players, Penguin has worked with PUBG (Blue Hole) to provide technical support such as network optimization, server expansion, and external attacks for PUBG: The Great Escape to create a positive and positive gaming atmosphere."
…
After Penguin News, other online media also reposted or analyzed this news.
Phoenix Technology News: "First comes the steam, then comes the sky, Penguin Daddy comes first! Penguin Games has officially released the domestic version of PUBG: The Great Escape. Chicken Dinner is coming! "
Gaming Information Network: "League of Legends is in danger. The most popular competitive online game has finally been released into the domestic server!"
Weibo headlines: "Penguin Chicken Dinner Online Game Released!"
Zhihu: "Will Penguin's Chicken Dinner Online Game Go Viral?"
Tieba: "Click to download Penguin Chicken Dinner. Complimentary luxurious outfits!"
On that day, the online media was flooded with news of Penguin Chicken Dinner Online. Penguin Games' online marketing capabilities were evident.
On that day, the download count of Penguin Chicken Dinner Online for PC exploded. Players could be seen playing Penguin Chicken Dinner Online in internet cafes all over the country.
Some players who could not play online games and switched to mobile games also switched to PC versions of Chicken Dinner Online.
Players who were originally using the accelerator to play PUBG on foreign servers also switched back to the original version of the domestic server. This caused the game's popularity to soar.
Penguin Games' strategy was not limited to that. Various live streaming platforms such as Penguin Live, Huya, Douyu, and Panda all set up live streaming channels for the game. Some streamers with high traffic were also involved in the live streaming.
Within a short period of time, Penguin Chicken Dinner Online had become the most popular PUBG game on PC. The PC version of the most popular mobile PUBG game, Wild God of War, was still in closed beta and had not been released to the public.
Behind Hongxin Games' silence, a huge explosion was brewing!
