"Microsoft is a bunch of bastards!!" Seeing the latest notice, all the franchisees were dumbfounded. They never thought that they would pay a huge price to leave the steam game store and join the box game. They thought that they had changed to a more powerful boss, but they didn't expect such a vicious result. Their original 20% share was directly reduced to 10%. They were abruptly cut in half.
Of course, the majority of game manufacturers were also dumbfounded. It wasn't that they hadn't seen shameless things or companies before, but it was really the first time they had seen something so shameless.
Just like what Microsoft had planned, Microsoft is not afraid of doing this. After all, the steam game store is gone, and they do not have … Wait, the steam game store is not dead yet.
But there's not much difference between surviving and dying. But these game developers had made up their minds not to sever their ties with the steam games industry. If not, they will be tortured to death by Microsoft in the future, and they will have no way out.
But Microsoft is not stupid. They do not want to give the game developers a way out. Soon, the game developers received a new notice from Microsoft.
"Notice: All game developers are to sign a new cooperation agreement with the box games immediately. The agreement is as follows!"
"New agreement?" The game developers were stunned for a while and started reading the new agreement.
This agreement is a revised version of the previous agreement with the box games. There are many changes, including the share of profits. The 70% share will be reduced to 50%!
Other than that, the game developers are not allowed to sell their games through the steam game store or other channels. They are also not allowed to manufacture or sell Hongmeng games. They are also not allowed to produce Thousand Machines games, etc.
All in all, this clause prohibits all game developers from cooperating with Daqian games.
"This Microsoft is ruthless!!!" The game developers were shocked when they saw this agreement.
When Daqian and Microsoft were fighting, they did not use the steam game store to stop game developers from cooperating with Windows operating system. They even allowed their games to log into the box games store.
This is the magnanimity of an entrepreneur. Microsoft and Daqian are nothing compared to each other. Once they monopolize the market, the first thing they do is to kill their opponent. This is worse than Hitler.
At this moment, everyone in the gaming industry is disgusted with Microsoft. They had never felt so disgusted with a company.
But no matter how disgusted they are, this new cooperation agreement is in front of them. It is a big problem if they want to sign it.
If they do not sign it, they will be removed from the box games store's cooperation list, and they will lose the chance to work with the world's biggest game distribution channel.
But if Feng Yu signs this contract, his shares will return to 50%, and he will be fooled by Microsoft. Most importantly, he will be tied to Microsoft's Windows and console games forever.
Also, based on Microsoft's way of doing things, they are no longer working like a cow or horse. They are more like slaves to others!
All the game developers were very angry about this, but they seemed to have no other choice. Seeing that the time and deadline given by the other party were getting closer and closer, the game developers were forced to make a decision. Suddenly, they received a new cooperation agreement.
This time, the cooperation agreement was a new one from the steam game store. It seemed that the steam game store had also updated the cooperation agreement plan.
These game developers read the steam game store's cooperation agreement curiously. It is different from the box games store, where the profits will return to 50%. This time, the steam game store introduced a 70% Dust cooperation plan.
To be precise, this is the second option given to the game developers by the steam game store.
This time, the cooperation agreements launched by the steam game store were actually divided into two different cooperation agreements, Type A and Type B.
The Type B cooperation agreement is the previous agreement, and there are no changes. The notice also states that if the game developers decide to sign the Type B cooperation agreement, they do not need to sign a new agreement. They can just sign a memorandum of understanding.
But if the game developers sign the Type A cooperation agreement, there will be a lot of changes.
First, the Type A cooperation agreement is called an exclusive cooperation agreement. After signing this cooperation agreement, the game developers can only cooperate with the steam game store and are not allowed to sell the game on other platforms.
Correspondingly, the game developers will get 70% of the profits in the Type A cooperation agreement. At the same time, they will enjoy two different online and offline sales channels, as well as the cooperation rights of the Thousand Machines Transformation platform. Anyway, the benefits of this cooperation are quite high.
"The steam game store has a conscience!" The game developers exclaimed in unison. With the stiff cooperation agreement from Microsoft, all the game developers have a good impression of the steam game store.
From the bottom of their hearts, they really wanted to sign a cooperation agreement with the steam game store. However, the problem was that there were only a thousand or so steam game stores left. If they cooperated with the steam game store, wouldn't the sales of the game be greatly reduced?
Just as all the game developers were still hesitating, the cooperation commissioners of the steam game store took the initiative to come to them in the morning and then showed them the steam game store's newly developed "steam game online sales plan".
When the game developers saw the content of this online sales plan, all their skin and flesh twitched. Through this huge online sales plan, they seemed to see a new future of game sales in the future.
But even so, many developers still expressed hesitation. After all, this online sales plan was a little too advanced. If players did not buy it, it was obvious that the box game store with more franchise stores seemed more reliable.
"Who said that they will have more franchise stores than us?" The person from the steam game store chuckled. "Everyone, wait for three more days. After three days, there will be a good show!"
The person from the steam game store was not right because there was no need to wait for three days. On the second day, something happened.
