After the press conference, the popularity of "Minecraft" directly rose to the top, including the video of Redstone Technology, which was demonstrated at the Nebula Games press conference on major video websites, was played millions of times.

At the same time, the game has been confirmed, but it is different from what everyone thinks about "Minecraft" release date after "Silent Hill". The first one was not "Silent Hill", which was positioned in the second half of the year, but chose to "Minecraft" on the fifth day of the year after the year.

In terms of price, the pricing of "Silent Hill" did not surprise many players. The price of 198 yuan is not high for a game with almost 3A quality.

The pricing of "Minecraft" surprised everyone.

Not too expensive, but too cheap.

"Minecraft" is priced at 60 yuan.

This is almost the same as the price of an independent game. Originally, based on the shocking promotional trailer of Nebula Games at the press conference and the explanation of gameplay, most players speculated on the online price of "Minecraft" at around 150 to 200 yuan, which is because Nebula Games has always been more conscientious in games.

But they never expected that this time, "Minecraft" only sold for one price just like an ordinary independent game.

However, this pricing is actually quite scientific in Yang Chen's opinion, because the development cost of "Minecraft" is really not particularly high, and its development cost is much lower than that of games like "Silent Hill" and "Absolute Slayer".

Because this is a game that focuses on creative gameplay.

Moreover, Yang Chen never thought about making money by relying solely on the price of the game, so what if a game is sold for 200 yuan.

Yang Chen believes that for "Minecraft", it can guarantee its vitality for a long time, and the multiplayer mode requires a huge server.

The operation and labor cost of this server are quite high. Some of the newly installed servers and some of the old servers on "Biochemical Survival" were temporarily used as "Minecraft" pilots in the early stage.

In the later stage, a large number of server purchases, including warehouses, are all set up. It is impossible to always use the method of renting servers. Moreover, multiplayer games account for a very important proportion of Nebula's strategy in the future.

The development cost of "Minecraft" is about 20 million RMB, but the server cost required for "Minecraft" alone is hundreds of millions. Even if this is not the fee that needs to be paid every year, not all of it are servers for the "Minecraft" project.

Of course, this aspect of the server is just a point of consideration. In addition, what is more important is that Nebula Games also needs to have another sustainable profitable project.

Although the old game "Biochemical Survival" of Nebula Games is still at the top of the list, except for holiday activities, the profit it can create with the new version update is actually far less than expected.

And it is impossible for them to launch a new prop every now and then in order to take out the money from the player's pocket, right?

On the other hand, the same is true for the cards of "Yu-Gi-Oh". On the one hand, considering synchronous anime and animation, and on the other hand, it is also necessary to consider that the profit of ********** King has actually begun to decline.

After discussing with Xu Yu, in addition to the new stand-alone project, "Minecraft" is a new game selected by Yang Chen.

In fact, in addition to "Minecraft", there are many good choices in dream memory. Not to mention the "DOTA" map and "True Three Kingdoms" map, which are currently online and have reached about 400,000 yuan. These two games are independent. At that time, you can definitely make a fortune by selling hero skins.

In addition to the amazing gameplay of Minecraft and miracle, the most important thing about choosing Minecraft and Nebula Games can form a good complementary effect.

That's Amiibo.

Although Amiibo figures have been launched, the price of figures cannot be reduced due to the mold opening and production. It still costs about a realistic figure to be around 300 to 400, which is because they do not need to pay IP authorization fees when they are direct sales.

"Minecraft" is different because of its block building block characteristics, cost compression and quality guaranteed, and the price can be maintained at around 50 to 100 yuan. Some large figures that require players to assemble are at most only about 200 yuan.

In addition, players can also purchase figures to obtain some skins and buildings in "Minecraft", such as Helgen Amiibo in "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim".

Players can use Amiibo toys to play building blocks with their children and girlfriends to enhance their feelings, and can also directly build Heergen's buildings in the game to appreciate them. This is simply a killing of multiple goals.

Even in Yang Chen and Xu Yu's opinion, if Amiibo sells well enough, the later "Minecraft" may be able to be directly free to all players like "Biochemical Survival", and even turn the money you bought "Minecraft" into a platform voucher and a 50% discount on the game to return to players.

In some games under Nebula Games, most figures are just characters or weapon models, but they are different from "Minecraft". The craftsmanship of the building blocks itself is not a big problem. The most important thing is whether the material cost is to be used well.

If you use good materials, you will definitely not be able to get the price, so you have no competitive advantage with other big brands of building blocks; if you use poor materials, you will get the price, but the quality will be terrible.

But if it is a building block figure, it will be different. I won’t talk about the Great Wall that everyone can make, and the building blocks such as the Forbidden City.

Snowman City, Dugu City and the World Destroyer Oduin in "The Elder Scrolls: Sky", Umbrella Company in "Resident Evil", the police station, Jushan Mental Hospital in "Escape", and there are so many IPs under Nebula Games that can be linked to "Minecraft".

In the office of Nebula Games, Wang Yaliang, who was sitting in front of the computer playing "Minecraft", looked at the planning book made by Xu Yu and Yang Chen's detailed explanation. He was silent for a long time and couldn't say a word.

"I feel that if we don't make games, we can definitely make a lot of money by selling toys." Wang Yaliang said with emotion.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Yang Chen looking at her with a fool's eyes: "What are you saying? Just a few dishes are so drunk? They are talking nonsense. Without the late IP linkage of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", "Resident Evil" and "Minecraft" to get a post-production IP linkage. Who would buy our Amiibo toys and figures? It doesn't have any attraction."

While Yang Chen was chatting with Wang Yaliang, "Minecraft" also ushered in the countdown to its launch.
