The four hundred and ninetieth chapter is afraid of comparison
Very soon.
A smart person discovered the huge business opportunity here.
Before the game was released, Mars Entertainment made a lottery that only players who purchased it three days ago could be qualified for the Battle.com test.
How to draw depends on a half-sized card included in the game.
The cards are made of plastic and very hard.
The cards are red and blue. The things written on them are very simple, which is to draw cards from the Zhanwang Pass. On the back of the card, there is a string of letters and numbers in line with the arrangement, and below the account is a line sealed like a scratch-off lottery.
And in front of this line that was sealed, there is the written password.
In other words, in the future, the account number on the card is drawn, and how to enter the Battle.com is probably based on the password that has not been scratched.
You should know that many buyers are not interested in the game temporarily, but they are very interested in this card.
So, after Mars Entertainment just announced that they were temporarily out of stock, and there is no guarantee that they could replenish the supply of goods within three days, this card that represents the possibility of obtaining the mysterious Battle Network test qualification became a hot item.
That is to say, it has become a valuable commodity.
Moreover, the value is not low.
Soon, someone began to buy this card from those who had already purchased "The Stone Guardian", and the price continued to rise.
It is not yet two hours before Mars Entertainment announced the news that it was temporarily out of stock.
The price of this card actually exceeded the sale price of "The Stone Guardian", reaching an extremely high $60.
Jester was not aware of all this. In fact, even if he knew it, he would not care about it because there was no way to deal with it. Moreover, in his opinion, this was just a promotional method for him, and the number of places drawn through this kind of card was only one thousand.
Choosing a thousand out of more than 600,000 people is not a high probability.
Moreover, after Mars Entertainment announced that it had sold out the inventory, he went to the lounge to sleep. After all, one day and one night, plus one day without sleep, the energy consumption is also very huge.
On a forum online.
It was still very popular. Soon, a news about the sale of more than 600,000 game floppy disks in Mars Entertainment appeared in the speeches of fans of both sides criticizing each other, and then it was quickly pushed up continuously. At the beginning, it was ridiculed by Richard Garrett or other American RPG fans.
They don't believe that "The Stone Guardian" can sell so much sales in such a short time.
He Kuan is also an RPG game known for its small sales.
But soon, more and more people got this extremely accurate news from their friends and classmates, or elsewhere. The fans of American RPG were immediately silent, allowing Jester's fans to ridicule them, but they did not fight back as fiercely as before.
After all, the other party has sold such a terrible sales. What is the point of saying anything ridiculous?
Besides, this is a really fun game.
This is the most real idea of many American RPG players who secretly bought "The Stone Guardian" after playing it. After mocking it, they criticized it for being useless.
On the next day.
When Richard Garrett's "Genesis 4" was released, although there were many players who came to queue up early in front of many flagship stores in Vizhen, it was far from the situation when Mars Entertainment released "The Stone Guardian" yesterday.
Besides, today in the Los Angeles area.
During the sale event of Vizhen’s largest store, Richard Garrett also went to the site to sign the sale.
The first three hours of the time being released.
But even so, the people who came to this store to queue up early were far inferior to the average number of people queuing in front of Mars Entertainment’s store when "The Stone Guardian" was released yesterday.
This once again caused Richard Garrett, who had arrived early, to feel an unspeakable frustration.
These three-hour signing activities can even be said to be a torment for him - originally signing should be a very exciting thing for developers, because you see so many people rushing to buy your game, which is a great sense of identity for the producers.
As for the pain of wrist cramps and other wrist cramps caused by signing, it doesn’t matter if you care.
In fact, there are really many people who come to buy today. Even Richard Garrett, who likes to hold signing activities when the game is released.
However, people are afraid of comparison.
So, after completing the three-hour signing mission, Richard Garrett did not continue to participate in other starting events and left directly. He really didn't want to be there, because every minute he stayed there was a torment for him.
He did not return to Weizhen's headquarters, but went home and then fell asleep.
He has not slept since the night before yesterday. It’s not that he doesn’t want to sleep, but that when he closes his eyes, he will think of the sales results of more than 600,000 copies on the first day of "The Stone Guardian". Not only that, according to his knowledge, after this game was in the hands of players.
After the trial, many people also made extremely high comments.
Fun game.
In Richard Garrett's eyes, a fun game cannot be called a good game. What he thinks is a good game, just like his RPG game, not only fun, but also profound.
In his opinion, although the game "Runite Guardian" is fun, it is really evident in depth.
The short number of levels can only be achieved by randomness. For some lucky players, the random pictures can be obtained at the beginning, and even the full-time game takes less than 40 minutes. Such a game is really not a good game in the eyes of Richard Gary.
However, such a game has sold a result that he did not dare to expect.
Of course, as an internal practitioner of the electronic game industry and a big shot in the game type, he would not think that the quality of a game depends entirely on sales. However, generally speaking, games with poor sales must not be considered excellent in quality.
Of course, many people also say that it may have a lot to do with the promotion of the game.
Of course, as long as it is a product, its sales volume needs to be linked to promotion. However, if a game is really good enough, even if there is not enough publicity, its sales will continue to rise, and the final sales will be very good.
There are many such examples.
Even in the Virgin where Richard Garrett is, there are several such examples.
The next day, Richard Garrett was also refreshed after sleeping for a day and a night. Although the sales of "The Stone Guardian" appeared in his heart from time to time, he could soon suppress it temporarily. He had a little breakfast casually, said goodbye to his wife, and drove towards the company in a car.
However, he had just parked his car in the parking lot downstairs of the company, and on the way to the company, he met a reporter who was prepared.
Not one, but several. Richard Garrett just took a casual look and knew that there were at least five or six different game publications, and these people were also familiar with them, all of whom were the most popular game publications and magazines in North America.
Before Richard Garrett could come back to his senses.
A male reporter asked a very aggressive question.
"Mr. Garrett, "The Runes Guardian" sold more than 600,000 copies in a day, and your "Genesis 4" sold 190,000 copies. Do you think of this sales?"
In fact, after completing the signing of the sale yesterday, Richard Garrett went home to sleep. He slept until the morning, so this was the first time he knew his game, sales figures on the first day.
Ninety thousand copies.
To be honest, this number is also very good for him. It can be said to be the second best first-day sales in the Genesis series in history.
But the problem is that numbers are not afraid of anything, they are just afraid of comparison.
Originally, a sales volume that could be boasted about in the PC game field for a long time. In the first day of sales of more than 600,000 copies of "Runish Guardian", and even sold out the inventory, instead of just buying these numbers, it would be a bit bleak.
Just like the difference between a scholarly god and a scholarly master who is often used to make fun of in later generations.
The academic master scored 99 points, and the academic god scored 100 points. The academic master felt that the gap between him and the academic god was only one point. In fact, it was not like this at all. In his eyes, the reason why the academic master scored 99 points was because his level was only ninety-nine points.
The God of Learning scored 100 points because this test paper was only 100 points.
This kind of contrast of gap is actually the most devastating thing. For irrelevant people, such comparison may not matter, but it is different for Richard Garrett. You must know that he had ridiculed Jester's game in advance.
And his ridiculous words were extremely unpleasant.
