"Treat Warcraft as a platform?" After hearing Yang Chen's words, Xu Yu's first thought was this.

According to Yang Chen, isn’t it actually using Warcraft as a carrier and platform?

"No, it's just a big shot, but maybe the vitality of this big shot is longer than the game itself." Yang Chen shook his head.

"In fact, there is only one key question, that is, why are players willing to pay for mods, or have always been charged for free mods, what can they get by spending money to buy?" Xu Yu looked at Yang Chen and said.

"What I bought is richer game content, and mod makers can also reap the same material benefits. We are just an environmental regulator and at the same time extract a certain share of the money as the cost of daily operation." Listening to Xu Yu's words, Yang Chen said as expected.

Shaking his head, Xu Yu said: "In the free game, the numerical weapons sold by the official can allow players to pass the levels faster and make players stronger; in the competitive game, players can get more special feelings by purchasing skins, so that players can understand that they are unique."

Yang Chen seemed to have some realization: "It's more special?"

"The content of the game map can be given to players as a gift, but it is definitely not what players mainly buy for money." Xu Yu said to Yang Chen.

"For example, a Three Kingdoms-style map, you can play directly regardless of whether the player purchases it or not. In the map, players can choose to buy special hero skins, such as special models, skill icons and even special effects, dubbing." Nodded, and then Xu Yu added.

"If you pay something, you should get something. Mod makers need to be treated in line with their rights, but the key is that the concept of mod=free has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Just like piracy in the early years, it is now the perfection of the law, which makes the piracy industry almost disappear and can only be hidden in the darkness. But the more important thing is the user experience brought by the genuine version." Xu Yu said to Yang Chen.

"The mod charges are not too much, and it can even be said to be reasonable. After all, this is the labor paid by the mod producers, but the key lies in how to make players think it is worth it. Why do some players think that buying a 3A masterpiece with rich content is not worth it, but they will recharge a mobile game with a far more than 648 price of 3A masterpiece?" Xu Yu smiled at Yang Chen and said, "Because in the hearts of most players, they think that the game content should be free, and the virtual props are private products they purchased. In their eyes, the game content represents content that is not worth spending money to buy."

Listening to Xu Yu's words, Yang Chen nodded gently. He might know the game, but his understanding of the market was far less than that of Xu Yu. This is something he must admit.

"According to your idea, you can let mods and map makers have the income they deserve, so that they can have enough motivation to produce more fun content. We need a disguise point to let players understand something. The charge is not mods but their skins, special effects, and voice. Even if there is no voice special effects, they can continue to play and experience the plot and all the gameplay." Xu Yu looked at Yang Chen and said.

"But I always feel that this has changed a little." Yang Chen understood that what Xu Yu was talking about was the current situation in the game industry, but he was a little unacceptable.

"Then you give the right to the players and mod makers, this is the best way; Generate Power for Love and don't want their mod works to be linked to money, this is their choice; link the content of the mod map with skin appearance, special effects and other virtual products to form profit income, this is the personal choice of the players and producers; simply selling map content, all of this allows the players and producers to choose by themselves." Xu Yu looked at Yang Chen and said with a smile.

"Provide them an environment." Yang Chen suddenly became enlightened.

I continued to discuss a lot of things with Xu Yu, and then the next day, Yang Chen, inside Nebula Games, announced the establishment of a new department and began to recruit personnel.

The department responsible for content review with the mod community.

When Yang Chen started to form a mod community, the latest promotion of "Warcraft" has also begun in the anticipation of all players.

Not only players, but also gamers in the industry, have focused on the project of "Warcraft".

rts-type game? What kind of game did Nebula Game make?

Similar to "Red Alert"? Or is it a separate 3a project?

Everyone is looking forward to it.

At the same time, with the attention of players, the release date and price of "Warcraft" was officially announced, and pre-orders were accepted and major game platforms have been launched.

Overseas uegame has already contacted Nebula Games in advance, but Yang Chen and the others did not immediately accept the uegame conditions.

Because "Warcraft" is more complicated than before, there is no big problem with the custom map mod community in China.

But for overseas agents, whether uegame is willing to form such a team specifically to respond to laws in various regions and review content is the main problem at present.

However, Yang Chen did not pay too much attention to this, because as long as the domestic sales of "Warcraft" are excellent enough, these problems will not be a problem.

As for the price of the game itself, Yang Chen priced it at half of the traditional 3a masterpiece, which is 198 yuan.

Compared with the development cost and content quality of the game itself, this price can be said to be very cheap, but this price is considered to be on the pyramid level in the RTS type game.

Because of the RTS type games themselves, there are few high-cost productions.

As soon as this price came out, it immediately attracted discussions from countless players.

"No! So expensive!? More than 60 more expensive than the old RTS game "Imperial Expedition"!"

"With the reputation of Nebula Games, such a high price, it definitely means that it is worth it! After all, the same RTS-type game was used to be, and "Red Alert" only costs dozens of dollars."

"When the Elder Scrolls: Skyrim was released, although it was discounted, the price was 198! Could it be that this game can have the power to fight against the Elder Scrolls: Skyrim?"

"I think of it a little bit like this. It seems that except for the Resident Evil series, the other 3A masterpieces in Nebula Games are priced at around 200! Although "Metal Equipment: Phantom Pain" sells so expensive for mainstream 3A masterpieces, a series of discounts include pre-order discounts, which are basically around 200!"

"RTS type 3a? It sounds a bit unreliable. How to do RTS 3a? Isn't it just a military showdown?"

Countless people began to have hot discussions in the game community. Although pricing has caused a lot of controversy, there are not many voices saying that Nebula Games is just a waste of money.

This is entirely due to the good reputation of Nebula Games, which has generated a large number of Nebula Game fans. Although they are quite suspicious, they will brainlessly maintain the reputation of Nebula Games before the facts are in front of them.

Yang Chen didn't know about the debate among the player groups, because he was still busy with the team about the map editor and the subsequent mod community formation plan.
