The model of opening the box and producing the skin launched by Facebook Games at that time taught the entire industry a lesson, making everyone realize that if the game wants to make money, it does not only rely on game sales to make money.
As long as your game player base is large enough and your popularity is high enough, you can make unbelievable money with any peripherals!
It’s just that everyone hasn’t thought about how to learn that model, because other companies don’t have that kind of conditions except for the Facebook game that has the confidence to play like that.
Holding the super IPs of CS, Warcraft, StarCraft, and Diablo, Facebook games can really play well.
But other companies don't have such a super IP. Anyone who dares to imitate it casually may die a miserable death.
…………
After associating with the "open box" mode, Mr. Chen felt suddenly enlightened, and he already knew why the Facebook game dared to use the permanent free mode.
It's not that they don't want to make money anymore, but they want to make more!
Use permanent free to attract players, and attract a large number of original CS players, even players who are not interested in CS, to CSOL.
Turn this online game into an online game version of CS, gather hundreds of millions of players, and then make money by selling gun skins, clothing and other peripheral products...
Boss Ai is really amazing. It's no wonder that he has been the most popular person in the game industry in the past year!
Of course, everyone knows who the man behind Effie is.
It is because of his existence that no one dares to laugh at any shocking move made by the Facebook game, but to study it humbly as soon as possible.
Facts have already proved that all the actions of Facebook companies are not joking or nonsense, but have their deep meaning.
Chapter 769 Still Too One-sided
"Our legend, can we adopt this permanent free model?" Mr. Chen blurted out.
This sentence startled the Vice President of Operations, and quickly stopped him: "Mr. Chen! Mr. Chen calm down! Our legend has been operating on a charging model for several years. If we change to a free model now, let's not talk about whether we can make money or not." Once we get the money, even the old players can scold us to collapse."
What he said is also true. Legendary is an old game, and many players have invested a lot of money and time in it over the past few years.
If you suddenly change to the free mode, old players will definitely feel unbalanced.
Why did you charge by time when I used to play, and earned me so much money in a few years.
Now in order to compete with other games for players, start doing free?Not charged by the time?
I can go to Nima!
Of course, these players will not consider that if the free model is adopted, they will not have to spend money on buying cards in the future.
They only look for one thing, that is, they would rather not take advantage of themselves than let others take advantage of them!
It's best for everyone to die together!
Don't feel incredible, in fact, many players are like this, and there have been many similar cases.
Mr. Chen was right when he thought about it. He was too anxious. Legend has always been able to make stable profits, and he made a lot of money.
Of course, you can't change the charging model casually. If you don't do it well, it's tantamount to cutting off the company's cash cow, which is too unwise.
but……
In the future, I will represent new games, but I can learn from Facebook games.
Mr. Chen also has a lot of research on the Internet, and he knows that free is definitely very attractive to netizens!
The CSOL of the Facebook game is absolutely stable this time...
………………
Whether CSOL is stable or not is not yet known, because the game has not yet been launched.
Even if it is online, how much money can be made by selling items such as skin boxes in the future is still uncertain.
But one thing that can be said is that the permanent free mode of the Facebook game this time has definitely attracted everyone's attention.
On the Internet, everyone who plays games is discussing this matter.
Even people who have never played online games before can't help but participate in this discussion.
Because everyone is curious, does Facebook Games really want to provide an online game for everyone to play for free?
What are they planning?
"Isn't today April Fool's Day? What's going on with the Facebook game this time?"
"Is it because World of Warcraft is so lucrative that Facebook Game feels embarrassed, so it provides a free game for everyone to play?"
"Haha, it's really possible. Facebook Games is still a very conscientious company. World of Warcraft is too popular. They make money and make money."
"Don't think about it too much. I think it's true that it's free, but it's definitely impossible if you don't spend a penny. But the Facebook game should be doing tricks this time, and everyone will pay for it willingly."
"I think the above is right. Everyone read the announcement carefully. It only said that the game itself and the duration of the game are free. Have you forgotten that this game has a lot of skins? Referring to last year's WCG bonus box, I feel that they will pass Sell boxes to make money! But it doesn't matter, it depends on whether you are willing to pay for it, if you don't want to buy it, you don't have to spend a penny."
Some netizens have already guessed the truth of the matter, but he still looks at the problem too one-sidedly!
He thought he could control himself without spending money, but reality would teach him to be a man.Many gamers, when playing a certain free game, think that they can control themselves without spending money.But when I put in more time and energy, looking at the fancy clothes and gun skins of other players around me, I always feel like a dwarf.
As long as you don't hold back once and take the first step of krypton gold, it will be completely out of control later...
Effie and the others dare to launch a permanent free model, of course they have considered all factors. It is not an exaggeration to say that this model has been specially consulted by experts in consumer psychology!
Aiming at the weakness of human nature, a "big pit" has been designed long ago, just waiting for you to jump into it.
Of course, this permanent free model has just appeared. At the beginning, there may indeed be many consumers who can resist the temptation and hold back from consumption.
But it doesn't matter, Effie and the others didn't expect that CSOL will be like World of Warcraft, and they can make a lot of money when they go online.
The two game modes are different. World of Warcraft is based on a billing system, and there are as many players as there are incomes. However, the disadvantage of this mode is that the threshold is relatively high, and many players may not be willing to spend money to play.
And the threshold of CSOL is too low, it can even be said that there is no threshold, as long as you want to play, as long as you have a computer, or you go to an Internet cafe to open a machine, you can play immediately.And it doesn't matter how long you play, you won't be charged.
Therefore, the number of players in World of Warcraft has a ceiling. It is estimated that the number of players in China cannot exceed 5000 million, and even [-] million is a big hurdle.
There is no upper limit for CSOL. All CS players will switch to this game. With some new players, you can call out the phrase "the dream of [-] million mice" again!
At the beginning of CSOL's launch, the most important thing is to increase the number of players and expand the market. As long as the original CS players can be attracted, even players who have never played FPS before, the number of players reaches an exaggerated number. , even if you don't want to make money later, it will be difficult!
…………
When Yu Wenfei found out about the "perpetual free" Facebook game, he couldn't help being stunned for a long time.
If he remembered correctly, this thing should have been produced by Giant Games two or three years later. The permanent free of "Journey" has officially subverted the charging model of domestic online games.However, the money earned from the game "Zhengtu" is definitely no less than any paid game.
