Chapter 1791 Game Market
Hangzhou.
Inside Lin Bufan's office at Mortal Technology.
Yang Qiuyu handed over the game market share information of this quarter to Lin Bufan.
For now, Mortal Technology's main profit is from games, and for quite some time, games will become Mortal Technology's most important money-making department.
This quarter, Changyou's "Swordsman" revenue increased by 8%, and the number of players exceeded 500,000. Lin Bufan remembered that the game "Swordsman" in the previous life was not very popular after it came out, and it only existed for about 3 years.
, it can be said that no money was made.
However, after Lin Bufan made a series of changes in the historical trajectory, Changyou's "Swordsman" delayed the public beta for a full 3 months. During these 3 months, the screen, map, etc. were changed, and the game experience was directly improved.
Up a level.
This was something Lin Bufan didn't expect. In addition, Changyou's stand-alone game market share has reached 24%. Some of them are independently developed, and some are sold by agents, such as "Motorcycle", "The Sims Series", "Need for Speed"
》.
This was Lin Bufan's negligence. He focused all his attention on online games and ignored the profits from stand-alone games, even the agency profits.
In addition, Jiutian Games represents the most popular stand-alone game "Resident Evil Series" at the moment. The CDs have sold well, with sales exceeding 500 million. Peripheral products, such as books and figures, have also sold hundreds of millions.
Ding Lei of Net One is not to be outdone. Its "Magic Westward Journey" is closely behind "Legend" and is the second-ranked online game in the hot summer.
This made Lin Bufan frown.
Previously, the top three on the Yanxia game list were all games owned by Mortal Technology, with "Magic Westward Journey" ranking outside the 10th place.
But one quarter later, "Magic Westward Journey" reached second place. This speed is really scary.
NetOne is a portal website that has since diversified. Its boss, Ding Lei, is one of the top 5 richest people in the hot summer.
"Bufan, "Magic Westward Journey" is gaining momentum. Do you want the sales department to think of ways to suppress it?"
"It's useless!" Lin Bufan waved his hand, "Isn't it "mu Miracle" that was ranked second before? Why did "mu Miracle" suddenly fall to the 11th position?" Lin Bufan asked in confusion.
In fact, the historical trend of the previous version of "Miracle" is the same as now. The previous version of "Miracle" was just launched, and its 3D graphics immediately attracted many players. However, because it was so popular, it also attracted a lot of cheats.
As soon as the plug-in comes out, it breaks the balance of the game and players naturally lose.
But Lin Bufan is not an omniscient and omnipotent god who knows everything about his previous life.
He didn't know the direction of "Miracle".
When Liu Chang reported the plug-in problem, Lin Bufan was also busy with other things.
This led to the decline of the game "Miracle".
Afterwards, Liu Chang came to the office and talked about the current situation of "Miracle", which is that there are too many plug-ins. It is really troublesome to apply a patch and correct the server when a plug-in appears.
Lin Bufan asked the Strategy Department and Maintenance Department to assist Liu Chang in solving the plug-in problem, and also strengthened the inspection of the game.
"Boss, if the game "Legend" is caught up by "Magic Westward Journey", we will face a situation where we are passively beaten. Although our overall game volume is much greater than that of Net One, once we lose the number one position, people's impression will be
It will change, and you will feel that Net One is the largest game company, which is absolutely impossible." Liu Chang said.
Lin Bufan nodded slightly and said, "Of course I know this, let me think about what to do."
"Boss, I have a suggestion, but I don't know if it's feasible."
"you say."
"Many games and movies in Sakura Country are combined. For example, their "Resident Evil" started as a game. After the game received a good response, a movie was released. The movie in turn drove the sales of the game, and then it can form a series, a
The series can develop for many years, or even more than ten years, and become a traffic IP. Even if "Resident Evil" does not produce movies and games in the future, this IP is still very valuable." Liu Chang said slowly.
Lin Bufan nodded: "That's true. "StarCraft" will also have a movie in the future, and "World of Warcraft" will also..."
Liu Chang looked at Lin Bufan seductively: "How does the boss know? Is there any news in the world?"
Liu Chang did not know that Lin Bufan was a reborn person.
